Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 44 Too Expensive, You Can’t Afford It_1

"I think I’ve got you figured out, Fang Eleven," Bai Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and declared seriously, "You’re doing this on purpose! You usually undermine Gu Liancheng, so when Wan Jun and I hear about it, we think, ’Ah, Gu Liancheng is really like that’, and then we no longer set our sights on him, right?"

"That’s bullcrap!" Eleven retorted with a quick knock to Xiaoxiao’s head, "Am I like that?!"

"Hehe..." Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled, "I think you are indeed!"

Gu Liancheng’s cell phone started ringing.

He glanced over to see Eleven still browsing, so he got up to take the call outside.

"Xiaoxiao, look at this one! It’s simple and so chic!"

Eleven stared straight at the display case, tugging at Bai Xiaoxiao’s sleeve, indicating her to come and take a look.

Bai Xiaoxiao responded and leaned in for a closer look.

It was the latest buzzed-about cell phone, quite expensive though, she had eyed it for a long time but never had the heart to splurge.

"This model is a limited edition and very expensive," The saleswoman said smiling at Eleven, but her thoughts were loud and clear.

She looked down on Eleven, "softly" telling her that the phone was too pricey for her.

Perhaps, she saw just another ordinary student in Eleven, with no luxury to exhibit, offering nothing to be excited about.

"Eleven, this phone is already pretty expensive, and it’s a limited edition. I’ve been bugging my dad about it for so long! He got one for my stepmom but won’t get one for me! He told me to ask again after I graduate, ah, it’s so annoying!" Bai Xiaoxiao rested on the counter, sighing, "Does he really plan to buy it for you?"

"Perhaps..." Eleven pouted, "He did say he’d buy it for me, surely he will. It’s a no-brainer!"

The two girls stood in front of the counter, eagerly ogling the fancy cell phone.

The saleswoman simply chuckled, not committing to anything.

"Exactly!" Bai Xiaoxiao said, "What wouldn’t he buy for you? He’s always pampering you with luxury and limited-edition stuff, I’m so envious!"

Indeed, Gu Liancheng never missed an opportunity to shower her with gifts.

The phone, though a big splurge to them, was probably just a small dent to his huge wealth. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Hmm... you’re lucky to have a doting husband who splurges on you..." Bai Xiaoxiao coveted, "I, however, am not that fortunate..."

"This is the last piece we have in the store. Should you want it, you need to make a decision fast."

Hearing their serious talk, the saleswoman backed down slightly, fearing she might lose a big sale.

"...Then wrap it up for me! I’m taking it!" Eleven tapped on the counter, decisively claiming it.

She had rarely been this assertive.

With Gu Liancheng around, what did she have to fear? Was she afraid she wouldn’t have anyone to foot the bill?

But the saleswoman only smiled: "Please pay at the counter over there."

Turning around to look, Eleven couldn’t spot Gu Liancheng on the couch where he had been before – he was gone.

"Where is he?"

"I don’t know," Bai Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe he stepped outside."

The saleswoman’s face started to darken, seemingly realizing they were messing about.

Just then, a wealthy woman came up next to them and started looking at the same phone. The saleswoman instantly beamed "Lady Zhang! This model is a limited edition and the last piece we have!"

"Hey hey hey--" Eleven interjected with a slap on the table, "I spotted this first! And I’ve said I want it - please wait for a moment--"
