187: Chapter 187 Li Luo Buys Cosmetics
"I want to, too! I want to experience 'Speed and Passion' as well," said another Flight Attendant with her hair in a bun.
"No problem. When I'm free, we'll go for a spin."
"As for now, you'd better take your luggage and head to the pre-flight meeting, or the Purser will start lecturing us again."
"Alright, let's go then!"
Seeing this, Xu Wei turned and called out to Lin Yue, who was still dazed.
"Yue Yue, hurry up, we're leaving."
"Okay, coming."
Only then did Lin Yue push her thoughts aside and walk toward them, pushing her suitcase.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
At this moment, Li Luo was on a video call with Pan Xingyue.
"Hubby, don't worry, I won't mistreat myself. I'm having Braised Pork for lunch."
"Mhm. You've exerted yourself quite a bit these past two days, so make sure to replenish your energy."
"I know, Hubby. You should go eat too; it's already noon."
"Mhm, let's leave it at that then. I'll hang up now. I've picked out the car, so feel free to contact me anytime."
"Okay, I love you, Hubby. Mwah!"
Afterward, Li Luo hung up the video call and walked toward the mall.
He had originally planned to head to the nearby mall for lunch after dropping off his last passenger at noon.
However, at the thought of Pan Xingyue being home alone, he decided to give her a call to check in.
As a result, the video call had dragged on until now.
Inside the mall, Song Keyi and Li Siqi were standing on the downward escalator.
"Ke Yi, I want to eat at that Zhou Ji Malatang outside for lunch. What about you?"
"I want old duck and vermicelli soup."
"Alright then, I'll go with you to buy the old duck and vermicelli soup first, and then you can come with me to get the malatang," Li Siqi decided happily.
"Not bad, quite sensible of you."
"Of course, you're my sister after all..."
Seeing her Best Friend suddenly stop talking and stare downward, Song Keyi followed her gaze and asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? Siqi, what are you looking at?"
"I think... I just saw Young Master Li walk past below us."
"Young Master Li? You must be seeing things. Why would Young Master Li come to this mall?"
"That's why I said 'I think'."
Hearing this, Song Keyi scanned the area below but didn't see the person she was hoping to find.
She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Then in which direction did the person who looks like Young Master Li go?"
Li Siqi's expression became a bit strange.
"Toward the place where you want to eat old duck and vermicelli soup."
Song Keyi replied without hesitation.
"Then you definitely saw wrong. How could Young Master Li come to a place like this to eat? The food in this mall isn't expensive at all. Do you really think Young Master Li likes malatang as much as you do?"
"I only eat malatang because I'm broke. If I had money, why would I eat it?" Li Siqi shot her Best Friend a look and said crossly.
"Exactly. Since Young Master Li is so rich, how could he come here to eat?"
"Why not? When we first met Young Master Li, wasn't he eating BBQ by the roadside?" Li Siqi immediately countered.
"That was because Young Master Li was with his girlfriend. Maybe she wanted to go there."
Saying that, Song Keyi continued curiously.
"Did you see one person or two just now?"
"Just one."
"There you go. You definitely saw wrong. If Young Master Li came here alone, the sun would truly have to rise from the west."
Seeing her Best Friend still looking around as they walked, Song Keyi was somewhat speechless.
"Stop looking. Aren't we heading over there anyway? If you're still unconvinced then, you can just look closer."
Li Siqi could only nod.
"Fine, let's walk a bit faster. Maybe we can catch up!"
On the other side.
Li Luo glanced around. To him, this place felt like a snack street.
Various shops were lined up in a circle, with many dining tables and chairs placed in the center.
It was peak lunch hour, so the foot traffic was quite high, making it bustling and lively.
Seeing the printed receipts from each vendor scattered on the floor, forming a thick pile.
Li Luo knew this was just a gimmick to attract customers, intentionally piling receipts there to create the illusion of a booming business and delicious food.
But if every shop did the same thing, there was no gimmick left to speak of.
He had originally planned to order a few stir-fried dishes, but seeing so many people, he couldn't settle down to eat a proper meal.
Subsequently, he walked to a Clam Vermicelli shop and ordered a large portion.
After taking his number, he found an empty seat nearby and sat down.
"Siqi, are you really looking for him?"
"So what? Your old duck and vermicelli soup still needs time, so I'm just taking a look," Li Siqi said as she began to wander around.
Song Keyi had no choice but to quickly follow. It was too crowded and noisy; it would be a hassle if they got separated.
"Alright, stop looking. My old duck and vermicelli soup should be ready."
"Don't rush me. This is the last section ahead. I'll go back after checking it."
"If my noodles get soggy by then, you're buying me a new bowl," Song Keyi complained.
Li Siqi's eyes scanned the surroundings, but she replied nonchalantly.
"Fine, it's just a bowl of old duck and vermicelli soup. I can afford it."
Song Keyi could only follow her wordlessly.
Just then, Li Siqi excitedly patted her Best Friend.
"Ke Yi, look over there! Is that Young Master Li?"
As she spoke, Li Siqi pointed in a certain direction.
Seeing her Best Friend so excited, Song Keyi hurriedly looked where she was pointing.
"Where?"
"The one sitting sideways to us, eating clams."
Song Keyi was stunned, then murmured.
"Is the sun really rising from the west?"
Seeing her Best Friend already rushing over, she suppressed her thoughts and followed closely.
"Young Master Li, it really is you! I didn't expect to run into you here," Li Siqi said with a charming smile.
Li Luo was also taken aback. He looked at the Two Women and asked.
"What are you two doing here? Aren't you working today?"
"We are. Isn't it lunch break? We came out for a bite."
Li Luo realized.
"You work nearby, right?"
"Yes, Siqi and I work right here in this mall," Song Keyi responded.
"In this mall? What do you sell? Clothes?"
"Young Master Li guessed wrong. We sell cosmetics."
"Cosmetics?"
Hearing her mention cosmetics, Li Luo remembered something.
He could give Zhi Xia cosmetics. When she first rode in his car, this Girl was clearly wearing light makeup.
Besides, what woman doesn't love beauty? Cosmetics were a necessity for them.
Seeing Li Luo fall silent after she mentioned cosmetics, Song Keyi gently prompted him.
"Young Master Li, is something on your mind?"
"No, I just suddenly remembered that I was planning to buy a few sets of cosmetics."
Upon hearing this, Song Keyi and Li Siqi exchanged a look.
"Would Young Master Li like to check out our shop? Our brand is a top-tier international one," Li Siqi said softly.
"Yes, Young Master Li. Since Siqi and I are in the business, we can help you pick out whatever you need," Song Keyi added.
Li Luo didn't really care; buying them anywhere was the same.
Hearing the Two Women, he figured he might as well support their business.
"Sure. Let's head over after I finish eating. Also, if you're in a hurry, you can head back first."
"We're not in a hurry. We haven't eaten yet either. Young Master Li, take your time. We'll come find you in a bit."
"Alright, go ahead and eat. I'm not in a rush."
"Okay then, bye for now, Young Master Li. We'll be back soon." With that, Song Keyi pulled her Best Friend away.
"Siqi, just grab a quick bite here. You can have your malatang next time. It wouldn't be good to keep Young Master Li waiting."
"I know, you don't have to tell me!" Li Siqi rolled her eyes at her Best Friend.
Song Keyi ignored her tone and continued.
"So what are you eating? Why don't you just have the old duck and vermicelli soup like me? It's served pretty fast."
"Fine, I'll listen to you. old duck and vermicelli soup it is. I'll go order another portion."
As Li Siqi spoke, she suddenly thought of something.
"Ke Yi, no matter how much cosmetics Young Master Li buys later, we'll split the commission equally, okay?"
"Sure, that goes without saying. Since Young Master Li is buying, the price definitely won't be less than one or two thousand yuan."
Li Siqi snorted at that.
"One or two thousand? What can that buy? A few lipsticks? I think you're seriously underestimating Young Master Li's financial strength."
Hearing this, Song Keyi glanced at her Best Friend and said crossly.
"I'm not doubting Young Master Li's wealth. It mostly depends on who he's buying for."
"If Young Master Li is giving it to his women, the price naturally won't be low. But if it's for someone ordinary, are you going to rip him off?"
"How could I possibly rip off Young Master Li?"
As Li Siqi spoke, they arrived at the soup shop, so she said casually.
"Alright, we'll find out when we ask him. Hurry up and eat. I'll go order, and we'll go find him together after we're done."
"Eat slower. Young Master Li hasn't messaged us, which means he doesn't mind a few extra minutes," Song Keyi reminded her, seeing her Best Friend stuffing her mouth before swallowing the previous bite.
"It'll be too late if we wait for Young Master Li's message," Li Siqi said indistinctly.
"Fine, just eat and stop talking. It'll be bad if you choke."
Li Siqi stopped talking and focused on devouring the food in front of her.
Five minutes later.
With Li Luo in the lead and the Two Women on either side, the three of them walked toward the elevator.
Entering the elevator, Li Siqi pressed the button for the third floor.
*Ding.*
"Young Master Li, see that? That's the shop where Ke Yi and I work."
Li Luo nodded. Just as he was about to ask a question, the Girl beside him gave him the answer he wanted.
"Young Master Li, our brand is Givenchy. I wonder if you've heard of it?"
"Givenchy? Yes, I have."
To be honest, Li Luo really had heard of those three words.
He remembered that in the past, whenever there was a holiday—except for the Qingming Festival—Shen Lin would always ask him for something. So, Li Luo had some impression of the name Givenchy.
"Ke Yi, why are you asking such a silly question? Young Master Li would know just by looking at the logo on our storefront!"
Hearing this, Li Luo couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Like hell I'd know. I've only heard the name. That logo looks like four 'Snake' games; who could understand that!
Just then, a beautiful woman in her thirties quickly walked out of the shop.
"You two are back. If you had taken any longer, I would have called you."
"Sister Yu, we didn't exceed our break time today, and we even came back early. Why are you rushing us again?" Li Siqi said with some dissatisfaction.
The store manager, Ms. Yu, looked a bit innocent and replied with a wry smile.
"It's not me rushing you. Ms. Liu is here, and she specifically asked for Ke Yi to help her select skincare products."
As soon as Ms. Yu finished speaking, a gorgeous woman with an oval face and a hot, sexy figure slowly approached.
"Yi Yi, you're back."
Li Luo's eyes instantly lit up. He had just come to buy cosmetics and actually ran into such a top-tier Girl.
If his eyes hadn't failed him, this Girl's figure could rival Ai Shanshan's.
Combined with her looks, she was definitely a 90-point beauty.
Seeing this, Li Luo couldn't resist calling the system.
"System, use Insight Technique on this Girl with the amazing body."
[Name]: Liu Ruyan
[Age]: 24
[Height]: 167 cm
[Weight]: 53 kg
[Overall Appearance]: 82
[Privacy]: 98
[Status]: Normal
[Intimacy]: 0
[System: Bind?]
...
Li Luo was a bit dazed after hearing this.
"System, did you get it wrong? I'm talking about the Girl with the hot body."
[System: Bind?]
"No," Li Luo replied, somewhat speechless.
[System: The system does not make mistakes. The system can only scan her original appearance.]
"What do you mean?" Li Luo didn't react immediately.
[System: A product of technology.]
...
"Uh, alright then."
Li Luo finally realized.
So she was an artificial beauty! However, he had to admit that her surgery was quite successful.
It made Li Luo wonder if he should try out a 'tech beauty.' After all, he could just barely accept the number of her past partners.
While he was deep in thought, Song Keyi said apologetically.
"Young Master Li, let Siqi show you around first. I'll come over to join you once I've taken care of this customer."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan and Ms. Yu both showed looks of surprise.
They had seen Song Keyi standing quite close to this man and subconsciously assumed he was a relative.
After all, Ms. Yu knew better than anyone how picky this Girl's taste was.
It wasn't that she looked down on people, but she had just glanced at him and noticed that the man wasn't wearing any famous brands.
