Chapter 157 Your husband went to a hotel.
Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't get up until noon.
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock at the door, and Xiao Jiu Jiu stretched before getting up to open it.
Good morning, Aunt Ye.
Standing outside the door was Ye Xuan, dressed in a white pearl dress and wearing pearl earrings.
Her outfit today makes her look gentle and beautiful.
Upon seeing Xiao Jiu Jiu, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Xiao Jiu Jiu."
"Aunt Ye is all dressed up so beautifully today, are you taking me out to play?"
Little Jiu Jiu's eyes shone with anticipation.
"Meow~?"
"All they do is eat, eat, eat. I wonder how many people Qin Yuyang plans to get to this banquet," Coal Ball muttered to himself for a long time.
Covering her mouth and smiling, Ye Xuan reached out and gently pinched Xiao Jiu Jiu's smooth cheek: "Yes!"
Our little Jiu is such a clever little devil. Today I'm taking you out to buy new clothes. Waiting for them to deliver them is too slow.
"We'll pick a nice day in a couple of days and throw you a welcome dinner."
"Will there be lots of delicious food at the welcome banquet?" Xiao Jiu Jiu licked her lips, looking even more excited, her eyes shining.
Qin Yuyang had previously said that she didn't feel anything.
Now, seeing Ye Xuan's serious expression, I'm actually starting to look forward to it.
Holding Xiao Jiu Jiu's hand, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Of course there will be lots of delicious food, most of it will be made according to your taste."
"Of course I'll come, but only if you make a stunning appearance in front of everyone, letting everyone know that you are the eldest princess of the Qin family."
"OK then."
Xiao Jiujiu reluctantly agreed with Ye Xuan's statement.
Releasing Ye Xuan's hand, Xiao Jiujiu said, "I'm going to wash up first."
"Then I'll come downstairs and wait for you."
As Xiao Jiu Jiu closed the door and was about to go to the bathroom, she saw Mei Qiu wagging its tail beside her and saying, "He might be introducing you to so many people to lure out Ye Chen."
"What happened?"
Xiao Jiujiu said nonchalantly, "Brother Ye Chen is a very rational person. He wouldn't do anything to harm the Ye family's interests for my sake."
After spending so many days with Ye Chen, Xiao Jiu Jiu became convinced of Ye Chen's character.
[I can't see it] Coal Ball followed Little Nine-Nine all the way to the bathroom.
"Oh!"
Just then, the bathroom door closed: "You stinky coal, I need to use the toilet, don't follow me."
[Okay, okay, my ancestor!]
After making a couple of complaints, Coal Ball quickly left.
After lunch, Xiao Jiu put a little vest on Coal Ball with a leash attached: "Good boy Coal Ball, you have to take this with you when you go out, or you'll get reported!"
"Hmm, as long as it doesn't choke you," Coal Ball nodded the cat's head, without objection.
When they first came out, they didn't feel any pressure and could run around on the streets freely, but now they have to follow the rules.
Back in the capital, Qin Xin was sent to her piano lesson and Qin Hao was sent to his martial arts lesson. It just so happened that only Xiao Jiu Jiu was at home to keep her company.
Ye Xuan was quite happy: "Xiao Jiu, are you done?"
"Alright, Aunt Ye!"
Inside the largest luxury shopping mall in the capital.
There is a very luxurious custom children's clothing store here.
Each item inside is unique, and the customers here are mostly wives of wealthy families.
"Welcome, Mrs. Qin." The shop assistant at the door already knew Ye Xuan; she had recently bought quite a few clothes here.
The shop assistant greeted her warmly: "Mrs. Qin, are you here to buy clothes again today? You just bought quite a lot not long ago. Do you know that the store has new styles?"
"I saw your post on WeChat Moments. There's a dress I really like." Ye Xuan said, leading Xiao Jiu, who in turn led Mei Qiu in from outside.
Upon seeing the cat, the other customers in the store were also immediately impressed: "This cat is so beautiful, so smooth!"
"Little friend, may I pet your cat?" One of the ladies walked over, her eyes shining as she looked at Coal Ball.
The coal ball immediately refused: "Don't let anyone touch me, or I'll turn on them!"
"I'm sorry, Auntie, Coal Ball is very fierce and doesn't like people touching it." Little Jiu Jiu could only explain the situation to the lady immediately.
The lady was a little disappointed, but she didn't insist: "Can I take a picture from a distance? I think it's so cool."
"Let me ask."
Little Jiu Jiu looked at Coal Ball with a smile: "Coal Ball, will you cooperate with Auntie taking a picture?"
"Meow~"
Okay, I'll reluctantly agree.
"Auntie, Coal Ball agreed." Little Jiu Jiu smiled and stepped aside, giving the lady a chance to take a picture.
"Little friend, how did you know that?" The wealthy woman, having taken the photo, looked at Xiao Jiujiu with satisfaction.
Xiao Jiujiu made up a bunch of nonsense: "It's based on the cat's voice; different pitches sound different."
Wow, you're amazing!
The wealthy woman wanted to say something more, but after walking away with the shop assistant, she realized that Xiao Jiu Jiu hadn't followed. Ye Xuan couldn't stand it anymore:
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Gu, I still need to take my children shopping for clothes."
"Ah, Mrs. Qin! What a coincidence, what are you doing here?" The lady smiled and chatted with Ye Xuan for a few words.
She bought a few clothes, and as she left, her eyes held a gentle look as she glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Little one, I'm going now~"
"Bye-bye, Auntie~"
Xiao Jiujiu waved goodbye to the wealthy lady.
Ye Xuan led Xiao Jiu Jiu inside: "Xiao Jiu, the designer of this store has created a very beautiful dress, which is perfect for five or six-year-old girls."
She spotted this one at first glance, and the size was just right, so she came straight here without a second thought.
"Okay."
Xiao Jiu Jiu had a smile on her face.
At this moment, the shop assistant inside had already taken out the princess dress.
This is a pale yellow, heavily embellished princess dress, composed of many layers of tulle skirts, with yellow silk roses on the hem and tiny diamonds scattered throughout.
"Xiao Jiu, do you want to try this dress on or just pack it up and take it home?" Ye Xuan asked Xiao Jiu with a smile.
She wanted to see Xiao Jiu put it on right now.
Seeing the undisguised excitement and anticipation in Ye Xuan's eyes, Xiao Jiu Jiu took the dress: "Shall I try it on first?"
"Sorry, custom-made clothing requires..."
The shop assistant spoke up somewhat awkwardly.
Ye Xuan was, after all, one of her major clients, so she couldn't stay silent, but she was also afraid of offending someone if she did.
"Swipe your card."
Ye Xuan placed a card on the table and chuckled, "Swipe it."
"Yes, Mrs. Qin."
Xiao Jiu Jiu picked up the skirt and looked at it: "Huh? Why isn't there a tag?"
"These dresses are all in the catalog, they don't have tags, what's wrong, Xiao Jiu?" Ye Xuan asked, seeing Xiao Jiu's confusion.
Tugged at Ye Xuan, Xiao Jiu Jiu asked curiously, "How much does this dress cost?"
"It's not expensive, only a few thousand."
Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu would look especially beautiful in it."
"Meow?"
[Several thousand? A dress costs several thousand?] Coal Ball had seen Xiao Jiu wearing an Ultraman costume when she was little. Back then, a pure cotton children's outfit cost three for ten yuan.
Xiao Jiu Jiu was also a little stunned.
This dress is quite expensive.
"Aunt Ye, this dress..." Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes darted around, unsure of what to say.
Ye Xuan seemed to sense her worry and smiled, "These are all reasonably priced. Go ahead and put them on, and let me see."
"Good."
Not long after, Xiao Jiu Jiu came out wearing a princess dress.
This princess dress made her skin look as white as snow, like a little princess straight out of a fairy tale.
She twirled around, lifting her skirt, and looked at Ye Xuan with a smile: "Aunt Ye, do I look good in this?"
"It's beautiful, so beautiful!"
Ye Xuan's eyes were practically glued to the screen.
She took out her phone to take a picture of Xiao Jiu Jiu, and also showed the conversation she had with the director earlier.
Ye: Director Chen, I agree with your previous suggestion, but I need to ask my family's opinion first.
Director Chen: Okay, I'll wait for your good news.
"Xiao Jiu, do you like this dress? Is it comfortable to wear?" Ye Xuan looked down at Xiao Jiu Jiu.
Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded, then twirled around, dramatically cupping her face and closing her eyes: "It's great! This dress looks heavy, but it's fine to wear. It's very pretty, I love it!"
[So fake]
Coal Ball stood by, speechless.
"Okay, this is it!" Ye Xuan made the final decision.
After changing out of her previous clothes, Ye Xuan said, "I'm still missing some accessories. I'll buy you a small crown."
"We already have some at home, so we don't need to buy any more."
Xiao Jiujiu waved her hand and declined Ye Xuan's offer.
Ye Xuan circled around Xiao Jiujiu and said, "Okay, Auntie is going to get a spa treatment now. Would you like to come with me?"
"Okay."
"Great!"
Ye Xuan excitedly took Xiao Jiu to the most famous SPA in the city, a place frequented by many wealthy women.
"Mrs. Qin, you've arrived!"
The receptionist saw Ye Xuan and stood up with a smile: "We have prepared the full treatment you booked."
"Okay, let's go to the private room I usually go to." Ye Xuan was obviously a regular here and knew the place like the back of her hand.
I exchanged a few words with the receptionist and then walked forward.
The younger sister hurriedly followed: "Mrs. Qin, several other ladies have also come over today."
"Well, as long as it doesn't bother me."
Once inside the spa room, Ye Xuan lay down. A pretty young woman came over and said gently, "Little one, go play games over here and wait. Mrs. Qin, come lie down over here, I'll give you a back massage first."
"Ah."
Xiao Jiu Jiu took out her tablet, and while looking at it, she glanced up at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's skin was exceptionally fair, which was undeniable even in the dim lighting.
"Wait a minute, the lighting here isn't very good. Xiao Jiu can go to the rest area. There's food there, the lighting is better, and there's WIFI too." Ye Xuan noticed that the dim lighting was affecting Xiao Jiu Jiu's playtime, so she sent her away.
After getting up, Xiao Jiujiu said, "Okay, Aunt Ye, I'll go out now."
In the lounge area of the SPA room.
Xiao Jiu Jiu spotted the food not far away at a glance: "French fries!"
She grabbed a small plate and pounced on it, piling a lot of fries onto the plate. She didn't even want the ketchup, and happily ate the fries.
At this moment, several elegantly dressed, glamorous ladies came out and sat down to chat.
One of the ladies was a bit plump, and everyone called her Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li took a sip of champagne with a worried look on her face and sighed, "I've noticed something's wrong with Old Li lately. He's been acting all mysterious, and I don't know what he's been up to. He's not answering the phone either."
Mrs. Li paused for a moment, then complained, "I feel like something's not right, could it be..."
Her hesitant words completely piqued everyone's curiosity.
"what?"
"Tell me about it, don't beat around the bush."
When wealthy ladies get together, they either play cards, get beauty treatments, or gossip.
Everyone's eyes are now filled with interest.
One of the ladies suddenly seemed to realize something and lowered her voice, saying, "You don't mean to suspect that he's having an affair, do you?"
"Mrs. Chen!"
Mrs. Li frowned and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Don't ruin our relationship."
Although it was a reprimand, Mrs. Li was clearly somewhat guilty, and her expression changed.
"What's so hard to say?" Another woman next to her rolled her eyes. "Tch, men, they all turn bad when they have money, okay?"
“My husband used to do this all the time, as you all know. I was always worried about him back then.”
Then one time, guess what? They caught them red-handed!
I was out shopping with his mother at the time, and my husband immediately quieted down.
Later, her husband had all his money deducted, and his two sons didn't like him either, and he finally realized what was happening.
The ladies chattered amongst themselves.
Mrs. Li quickly joined in the gossip, almost forgetting her own worries.
The atmosphere was getting increasingly heated.
Xiao Jiu Jiu was no longer interested in watching the video.
She pricked up her ears, and the coal ball next to her jumped onto the table.
Both the human and the cat leaned close to the partition, listening with great interest to the gossip being told by the people on the other side.
Hearing this gossip made Coal Ball's vision go black: "You humans really know how to have fun!"
“Those are their adults.”
Xiao Jiu Jiu rested her chin on her hand, eating French fries while listening.
After listening for half an hour, Xiao Jiu Jiu's Coke was empty.
"Coal Ball, I need to go to the toilet."
The toilets here are quite spacious and luxurious.
Xiao Jiu Jiu went into one of the rooms.
I heard a sound shortly after I closed the door.
There were two women.
"Damn, why isn't Xiaomei coming to work again today?" one of the women asked, puzzled.
Another looked around and whispered, "You don't know yet, do you? She's hooked up with President Li, and she's living the high life now."
"At this hour, Mrs. Li is getting a beauty treatment here, so she wouldn't be going to...?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, of course."
I felt so embarrassed when I saw Mrs. Li today; I didn't know how to tell her about it!
The two whispered to each other, which Xiao Jiu overheard.
One of them said, "They go to Caesars Hotel often, and I heard they have reserved rooms there. Don't tell anyone I told you that."
"How did you know?"
"I saw it that day! It was all an accident."
The two washed their hands and went outside.
Once there was absolutely no sound, Xiao Jiu Jiu rushed out of the toilet.
As they passed a few aunties still chatting, Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up.
She walked up to Mrs. Li and the others, and gave Mrs. Li an impeccable smile: "Auntie, I've seen you before."
"Ok?"
Mrs. Li asked in confusion, "Really, little one? Where have we met before?"
“I’ve met you with Dad before. I remember your husband is Uncle Li. I saw him check into the Caesars Hotel. He must be trying to give you a surprise!” Xiao Jiu Jiu said innocently.
Seeing Mrs. Li's expression change drastically, she continued, "I've watched a lot of videos; in hotels, people confess their love by covering the entire place with roses!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu's crisp voice stood out conspicuously and was exceptionally clear throughout the rest area.
All eyes were instantly drawn to her...
