After that encounter with Qin Chuan, Lily continued with her day, unbothered by her decision to cut him off. There is no point in mulling over something that would not make her happy. Today, she went shopping! It wasn’t really shopping as she does not plan to buy anything. What she wanted though is to check out supplies she needed to buy for her newborn.
Zhou Jingren already told her, he already told her they will buy all the things they needed in Europe. Besides, they already decided that she will give birth in Switzerland because of their health care.
Right now, Zhou Jingren already asked his people to find a wonderful house in Switzerland where they could stay after Lily gives birth. When Lily told him that this is quite extravagant, Zhou Jingren reasoned that he only wanted the best healthcare and environment for Lily and their child after giving birth.
Giving birth is difficult, and he wanted her to be comfortable after giving birth. Plus, Switzerland is such a marvelous place. It would be nice to stay there for a few months.
The thought of giving birth in Switzerland also made Lily excited. After all, Switzerland is just a few hours away from Luxembourg. She thought that having the Grand Duke and his family meet with their little angel would be pretty nice.
If one would think about it, The Grand Duke and his family are the only blood-related family that Lily had aside from Qin Yuanfeng.
“President, from the files that I have, this Su Ma is a very secretive voice actress. She does not attend events and meetups. Or if she does, she does not introduce herself to everyone.
A lot of people assumed that she is ugly, and that’s why she avoids meetups. However, many also said that it is only because she is avoiding someone or is afraid of someone.” Yang Mi said as the duo walked inside Harmony Isle.
“Is that so?” Lily asked. “How about her family?”
“Well… her husband died a few years back. She is currently fifty- five and her daughter is twenty-three, a pianist living abroad.”
“And her face?”
“Unfortunately, we could not get images of this woman. She never posted images of her family or her on her social media. Qin Yuanfeng is already working on her elementary photos, hoping that he would get something from her previous school.”
Lily nodded. This Su Ma exists before the fast evolution of the digital world. Lily could only hope that her school kept a record of their students’ photos.
“Miss Lily!”
Lily and Yang Mi halted their steps and turned to see Su Ma walking towards them. Su Ma smiled. She stood next to Lily, her white knee-length dress perfectly contrasted with Lily’s red one. “Qin Chuan told me that he went to see you this morning.”
“I thought you left Hong Kong?” Lily ignored the latter’s statement as she started walking.
“Well… I decided to spend some time shopping for myself before leaving.” Su Ma followed Lily. “I was not expecting to see you here.”
“Hm.” Lily nodded.
“Listen, about last night…” Su Ma made a deliberate paused. “I would like to apologize for cornering you like that. At that time, I didn’t understand why you were so disrespectful. I admit, I overreacted and become emotional.”
Lily pursed her lips. Qin Chuan must have told this Su Ma that Lily is giving them a chance. She continued walking as Su Ma followed her.
“I know… this is all new and even I felt overwhelmed by all these.” Su Ma continued. “However, I am still grateful that you decided to give us a chance. This relationship… Qin Chuan is really making me happy. And I don’t want him to feel bad while being with me.”
“Oh… are you buying some jewelry?” Su Ma asked when she noticed Lily walking towards a jewelry shop. Since this woman had been following her around, Lily could not just go to the nursery section of the mall. She would not want this woman to know that she was pregnant.
“Yes.”
“Oh. Then… I hope it’s not a problem. Would it be okay if I buy you one? As a present for knowing you.” Su Ma’s voice was too sweet and soft, it was irritating Lily.
“Alright. Buy one for Yuanfeng too.” She uttered. Is there really a reason for her to decline? Lily was not planning to give this woman random ideas, but she also wanted to get rid of her as fast as possible.
“Oh! I would like to buy it on GC Jewels. I have a VIP card that we can use you view their collections.” Su Ma smiled sweetly. “I know that you might have their VIP as well but please let us use mine. After all, this is a gift from me.”
Lily nodded, saying nothing. All she wanted is for this lady to leave her.
The duo started walking towards the GC Jewels store in Harmony Isle. “You seemed really familiar with the store? Have you visited the place before?”
“Oh! I have been to the other store before. To be honest, this is my first time going to GC Jewels. I was already planning to come here so I could buy a watch for Qin Chuan. As an apology for last night.” Su Ma said. “So I already made my research the other night.”
“I was originally planning to give him one, anyway.” Su Ma shrugged.
In response, Lily nodded. “So after this… you are going to leave?” Lily met her eyes for the first time.
“Yes. Qin Chuan… don’t know that I am still here. He thinks that I am already in China.” Su Ma’s lips lifted into a gentle smile. “I don’t want him to worry about me” She then shifted her gaze into the store. “We’re here.”
For the umpteenth time, Lily nodded. The duo then walked inside the store as Su Ma asked for the attendant to help them. She eyed as Su Ma gave her orange level VIP card to the attendant.
“A few months ago I got lucky enough to be invited into one of the prominent brands in Hong Kong’s fashion week because of the card.” Su Ma turned towards Lily. “Now that I thought about it… that card has given me a few perks and benefits already.”
