There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 68.2

Qin Ke feigned surprise. “Didn’t you say a few days ago that you weren’t feeling well and needed to do complete rehabilitation at home, so you were taking two months off and only going for the final exams?”

Huo Jun: “…………”

Huo Jun said without blushing or gasping, “I didn’t say that.” After speaking, he kissed the girl in front of him again, as if venting his frustration. This girl was getting better and better at exposing his shortcomings.

Seeing Huo Jun about to lean in again, Qin Ke laughed and dodged backwards, not letting him succeed.

Two days later was a Sunday.

Early in the morning, Qin Ke was already prepared to set off for A University to report in. However, before leaving, she still had to solve a small problem.

“No one will see.” Huo Jun stood in front of the car door opened by the servant, looking down at Qin Ke with lowered eyes.

Qin Ke shook her head, “They will. You’re now a celebrity at A University – you’re too eye-catching anywhere near A University.”

“……”

Huo Jun didn’t speak, just stared at her.

Qin Ke shifted her gaze away, cleared her throat, and said guiltily, “This won’t work on me, don’t try. I don’t want to be resented by all the female students before I even officially enroll, so you don’t need to waste your effort. I won’t change my mind.”

“…………”

A few minutes later.

Qin Ke sat expressionlessly in the car heading to A University, with Huo Jun beside her whom she ultimately couldn’t resist letting into the car.

The Huo family’s old mansion wasn’t close to A University, and with traffic jams factored in, the one-way trip would take nearly two hours.

During the drive, Huo Jun seemed to be inspired by some scenery outside the window. He suddenly raised his head and said to the driver, “Find a nearby mall or department store. I need to buy something.”

Qin Ke: “?”

Qin Ke turned back to look at Huo Jun in confusion, “What do you need to buy now?”

“Something very important.” Huo Jun said this, but didn’t reveal exactly what he wanted to buy.

The driver naturally followed Huo Jun’s wishes and turned towards a nearby mall according to the navigation.

It was the weekend, and almost every mall in the city center was bustling with people.

After opening the car door, Huo Jun didn’t leave. He held onto the door frame and looked down at the girl.

Qin Ke was stunned, “I have to go too?”

“Mm.” Huo Jun finally revealed, “I want to give you a… school opening gift.”

“?”

Qin Ke almost instinctively wanted to refuse, but faced with Huo Jun’s serious brow and expression, she couldn’t bring herself to in the end.

She could only follow Huo Jun out of the car.

The driver was originally going to accompany them, but was left in the car by one sentence from Huo Jun.

“What kind of gift are you buying?” Qin Ke was truly confused by Huo Jun’s mysterious behavior. After entering the mall, she simply asked outright.

Huo Jun held her hand without letting go. Hearing her question, he turned back, his thin lips curving slightly.

His dark eyes were brimming with emotion.

“You’ll know soon.”

Qin Ke: “…………?”

Hmm.

Why did she have such an ominous premonition…

Qin Ke didn’t even have time to predict Huo Jun’s intentions or her own inexplicable sense of foreboding before she was brought by Huo Jun to the counter of a global jewelry chain store.

Qin Ke was stunned and instinctively turned to look at Huo Jun, “You……”

The sales guide standing by the door brightened up as soon as she saw Huo Jun’s appearance. Although she quickly noticed Qin Ke’s presence by following their joined hands, her enthusiasm didn’t diminish at all.

She walked gracefully towards them.

“Hello, may I help you with anything?”

Huo Jun was reassuringly holding onto the girl who seemed to sense a trap and showed signs of unease. Hearing the question, he turned back.

“Couple rings.”

The sales guide’s eyes lit up. Her gaze had already discreetly scanned their shoes, bags and outfits before they entered the store.

Almost every item was a seasonal new product from various luxury brand counters.

Having formed a rough estimate of this young couple’s spending power in her mind, the sales guide’s smile almost bloomed like a flower.

“Certainly, please follow me.”

The sales guide walked into the glass counter area. The lighting in the boutique made every piece of glass particularly dazzling, not to mention the dazzling array of jewelry inside the counters.

The sales guide hesitated in her heart, but still asked directly, “What kind of couple rings are you looking for?”

Huo Jun naturally had no expertise in this.

“What are the differences?”

“Well… For more formal occasions, such as engagements or weddings, we recommend diamond couple rings.”

As she spoke, the sales guide suggestively looked at the girl who was a step behind the young man – she had expected to see at least some suppressed joy on her face, but to her surprise, as soon as the girl heard her words, she frowned slightly.

Although Qin Ke didn’t say anything, she clearly disagreed with the guide’s suggestion.

——

Could it be that she’s unsatisfied with this boyfriend?

The sales guide grumbled oddly in her heart, then sighed – With looks at this devastating level, and judging from his clothes and demeanor, he was clearly the type of rich young master from a wealthy family with countless resources. Most importantly, his gestures and gaze since entering the store showed his feelings for the girl……

If she was still unsatisfied with this, it would be too much of a waste.

Before the sales guide’s gaze, hiding her disdain, could fall on her, she heard the girl lean close to the young man and lower her voice to a whisper –

“I’m not 18 yet. It’s still more than two years until I’m legally old enough to marry. Do you remember that?”

“…………?”

The sales guide was stunned.
