Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Preparing a Surprise

“Can’t you just look forward to something good happening to me?” Chi Enen stood up, dusting off the dirt he had kicked onto her, and took the opportunity to say, “Since you admit you look like your dad, and today is your dad’s birthday, do you want to come with me to buy him a gift?”

Her little guy, on guard, paused and blinked his lovely big eyes just like a little fox. “Today’s The Neighbor Old Wang’s birthday? How come I didn’t know?”

She always remembered that today was Li Beijue’s birthday, but she hadn’t mentioned it because she planned to surprise him.

Li Beijue had given her too many surprises, and she wanted to give him one too.

She took Baby Chi’s hand, in a very good mood, “Let’s go, we’ll go pick out a gift.”

“Wait a minute.”

Chi Jingchen wriggled out of her hand and ran towards his room.

In a short while, he ran back out, his pocket bulging with who knows what, and took Chi Enen’s hand again, saying proactively, “Let’s go.”

…

Because she was picking out a birthday gift, Chi Enen wanted to buy something nice and practical.

So, she took Baby Chi straight to the busiest luxury goods street in Rainy City, Wangfujing.

She had initially planned to buy Li Beijue a piece of clothing, but after entering a few stores, she realized that every A-list luxury garment, just a blouse even, cost several tens of thousands. The styles that were slightly more attractive were selling for over one hundred thousand.

Recalling the row of brand-new, never-worn designer blouses hanging in the walk-in wardrobe of Li Beijue’s villa, she immediately discarded that idea.

But her original birthday gift idea was clothes, so if not clothes, what should she buy?

Chi Enen was in a quandary.

The saleswoman, seeing her repeatedly looking at the blouse she had taken out but not saying whether she wanted it or not, thought she didn’t like it and encouraged her with a smile, “Miss, this style is our best seller this summer. If you don’t like it, I can recommend another one, which also sells well; it’s a runway piece. It’s just a bit more expensive than this one.”

Chi Enen, feeling overwhelmed, glanced at the tag with the price of 58,888 and couldn’t imagine how much more expensive another one might be. She awkwardly turned down the saleswoman’s kindness, “No need, I don’t actually have that much money. I can’t even afford this one, let alone something more expensive.”

Her entire wealth background was just 40,000 yuan. She had over 50,000 before, but she had advanced 10,000 for Han Qifeng’s medical expenses, leaving only 40,000.

The key point was the blouse the sale assistant mentioned was 58,888 yuan, with no discount. Even if she hadn’t paid that 10,000 for medicines, she was still short by more than 8,000.

“I see,” said the sale assistant respectfully, not showing any disdain for her honesty about not affording it. After pondering for a moment, she took a tie clip from the glass counter and handed it to Chi Enen, saying, “Miss, you must be buying a gift for your husband, right? Actually, besides clothes, a tie clip is also a good choice. Many gentlemen wear ties at formal occasions, and a unique tie clip can sometimes be more important than clothing. This tie clip is designed by a well-known designer, simple and elegant, unassuming yet luxurious. Look, it’s even set with diamonds, offering great value for the price. We’re having a promotion right now, just 28,000 yuan.”

Chi Enen was somewhat tempted by her words, taking the tie clip and examining it closely.

Indeed, just as the sale assistant had said, it had a simple and elegant style, with the silver-grey tie clip embedded with a few broken diamonds. The inside of the clip even bore the brand logo. It was low-key but substantial.
