Power and WealthChapter 33 – Massaging Aunt Xuan

“2 sets?” The sales assistant did not expect Dong Xuebing tobe so generous. She immediately smiled and said: “Please wait a while.”

“Wait.” Qu Yunxuan was stunned and then gave Dong Xuebing aslap on the back of his head. “What are you doing? It’s costly.”

Dong Xuebing rubbed his head. “It’s fine as long as you likeit. I had never given you any gifts before. Now I have some money, just let megive you something.”

“You are buying this phone for me? I don’t want it. You havejust started work, and you should not be spending your money like this.” QuYunxuan turned to the sales assistant. “Sorry, we don’t want it.”

Dong Xuebing ignored her and said: “We want. Please issuethe receipt.”

Qu Yunxuan raised her hand in anger. “I will hit you.”

“Even if you knock me out, I will also buy this iPhone 4 foryou.”

“You......” Qu Yunxuan turned her head around and ignore DongXuebing.

Dong Xuebing chose the color of the phone, the screenprotector and also the leather casing. After making the payments, the salesassistant took out the iPhones to do the setup. Dong Xuebing thought buying aphone was a quick and easy thing. All he needs to do was to pay for it. Applephones need a different size sim card, put on the screen protector and registeronline. It was very troublesome.

After a while, the sales assistant smiled to Qu Yunxuan:“iPhone’s sim card is different from our phones. Can you give me your sim card?I need to cut it smaller.”

Qu Yunxuan kept quiet.

Dong Xuebing smiled and touched Qu Yunxuan’s elbow. “Why areyou behaving like this?”

Qu Yunxuan continued to ignore him.

Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. “I have already paid for it,and there are no refunds. If you really don’t want it, I will give it tosomeone else.”

Qu Yunxuan glanced at him and gave him a knock on his head.“You are wasting your money.” She paused for a while and then took out herhandphone slowly from her handbag. She took out the sim card and pass it to thesales assistant. “Do you have other colors for the leather casing? Can I take alook? Hmmm...... This is nicer. Yes, we will take this...... Oh, do you have movies andsongs here...... help us store it in the phones too...... yes...... Thank you......”

Half an hour later, Qu Yunxuan was playing with her iPhone4. She really likes it.

Dong Xuebing smiled happily: “Aunt Xuan, this iPhone 4 looksnicer when you are holding it in your hands. I think Apple should get you toendorse their phones.” If it were the past Dong Xuebing who was still inUniversity, he would never say such things. But after working for thegovernment, he learned how to speak pleasant words to others.

Qu Yunxuan laughed and rolled her eyes. “No more next time.”She casually wrapped her hand around Dong Xuebing’s arm. “Our Xiao Bing hadgrown up and can earn money. He also knows how to buy gifts for others.Hahaha...... When our Xiao Bing becomes a great leader, I will also be proud.”

She was holding on to Dong Xuebing’s arm, and Dong Xuebingwas nervous.

This was the first time a girl was holding onto his arms.

At about 9 pm, Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan reached home, andthey placed the shopping bags on the coffee table.

Qu Yunxuan sat on Dong Xuebing’s home sofa and played withher new phone. “The shop was closing just now and could not find the songs Iwanted. Xiao Bing, tomorrow help me download some songs from the internet. Iwant to use it as my ringtone.” She stood up and used her phone to take someselfies. She showed her pictures to Dong Xuebing and asked. “How is it?”

Dong Xuebing smiled: “No matter how you take the pictures,it will also turn out beautiful.”

Qu Yunxuan laughed. “You really know how to cheer me up.”

“I am telling you the truth. No matter if it is a 300,000pixels camera or a 5 million pixels camera, you will still look pretty.”

“Nonsense.” Qu Yuxuan rolled her eyes and pulled DongXuebing closer to her on the sofa. She wrapped her arm around Dong Xuebing’sarm and lifted the phone higher to take a selfie. “Smile when you are takingpictures with me.”

Dong Xuebing could feel his arm pressing against QuYunxuan’s breast. He forced a smile, and it looks weird.

After the picture was taken, Qu Yunxuan laughed. “What iswrong with this expression? You look stupid.”

Dong Xuebing blushed and thought to himself. You arepressing against me and how can I not be nervous?

After playing with the phone for a while, Qu Yunxuan keptphone and start to pack the newly bought clothes. She packed the clothes intDong Xuebing’s closet and cut those patched and faded clothes into small piecesof clothes. “It is a waste to throw these clothes away. I will cut them intosmall pieces, and you can use them as rags to wipe the tables.” Qu Yunxuanmonthly salary was not low, but she was a thrifty person.

This was also why Dong Xuebing was attracted to her. Helooked at Qu Yunxuan and stuttered: “Aunt Xuan...... I...... I like......”

Qu Yunxuan shook the rag in her hands and turned around:“What did you say?”

“I like...... like......” Dong Xuebing was sweating. But he couldnot say the full sentence. Qu Yunxuan was the prettiest woman he ever met inhis life. She had a good figure, kind-hearted, a good career, etc. She does nothave anything bad about her. Dong Xuebing really wanted to take her as hisbride and wanted to confess to her. But their relationship had just evolvedfrom being good neighbors to close friends. If he confessed to her, she mightfeel uncomfortable and, in the future, they might no longer be as close as now.This was not something Dong Xuebing wanted to see.

Dong Xuebing remembered that he still had not used BACKtoday.

If Qu Yunxuan rejects him, he can still use BACK to turnback the time. This way, both of them will not feel awkward.

That’s right. This should do it.

“What did you say? Wash (Wash andlike sound similar in Chinese)?”Qu Yunxuan laughed. “You have dirty laundries to wash?” Why are youstuttering and so shy?”

Qu Yunxuan ignored him and walked to the washroom to pick upDong Xuebing’s dirty socks and underwear. “Ok. Leave these to me. Is thereanything else you need me to help you wash?”

Dong Xuebing wanted to bury his head in a hole on theground. He rushed forward and tried to take back his socks and underwear. “Ican wash these myself.”

“Go away.” Qu Yunxuan moved her shoulders to avoid DongXuebing. But she shouted “ouch” when she moved her shoulders. “Stop trying tosnatch these clothes. My neck hurts.”

Dong Xuebing panicked. “Are you okay? I’m sorry. I did nothurt you on purpose.”

Qu Yunxuan sat down and massage her neck: “It’s not yourfault. I have been having neck pains for a while.”

Dong Xuebing felt guilty. “Let me help you massage your neck.”

“No need. It should get better after a good night sleep.”

“No......” Dong Xuebing replied. “Go and lie down in the room. Iwill massage you.”

Qu Yunxuan hesitated and agreed. “Hahaha.... Ok.”

Dong Xuebing took in a deep breath and readied himself toconfess to her.
