The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 383 - 382: In Our House, I’m the One Living off Someone Else.

Chapter 383: Chapter 382: In Our House, I’m the One Living off Someone Else.

Both harboring their own thoughts, they strode through the mall, browsing stores one by one.

Among the coming and going customers, they were probably the fastest pair.

They automatically skipped over clothes and accessories.

It was only when they reached stores selling household items, gifts, and home appliances that they would stop to take a look.

Both of them had high attractiveness and a strong presence, walking side by side without holding hands or any intimate gestures, not looking like they were there to shop but rather like they were inspecting leaders, and of equal rank at that.

This drew sideways glances from many people around, speculating about their relationship and coveting their looks.

Eventually, Lu Mian glanced at the time and reminded, “We need to speed up.”

“…” Xiao Qimo, not so happily, happened to stop in front of a home appliance store and, looking disinterestedly at a food processor on the counter, said, “Let’s just go with this one.”

No sooner had he spoken than a zealous salesperson approached them to introduce the product.

“Sir, Miss, this is our company’s newly launched Smart Wall Breaker Machine, which can greatly preserve the nutrition of fruits and vegetables, offering a rich and delicate taste…”

Lu Mian glanced at it, not looking at the product but at the price and hesitated.

“Isn’t it too cheap?”

She hadn’t visited others’ homes often and was not sure how to gauge this boundary.

Xiao Qimo didn’t say anything, he didn’t care about the price, in any case, this shopping trip wasn’t very enjoyable.

He remained expressionless, saying nothing.

The female salesperson, with heavy eye makeup, seemed to have caught Lu Mian’s comment and sized her up and down, clearly assessing that this girl was just an ordinary person, while the man next to her looked like the stereotypical domineering CEO type.

Handsome, wealthy, and of prestigious standing.

Although she was unsure whether they were a couple or not, Lu Mian’s remark about “Isn’t it too cheap?” made her feel uncomfortable.

This Wall Breaker Machine cost seven thousand yuan; how could that be considered cheap?

Perhaps it’s not so painful to spend when it’s not your own money.

She also seemed to sense Xiao Qimo’s displeasure, and stood to the side with a sarcastic and somewhat indignant tone.

“Miss, you can’t judge a purchase merely by the price, the cost-performance ratio is what matters most. Not a single person who has bought this model from our store has ever said it’s cheap. Do you perhaps want to buy one with diamonds embedded in it?”

Lu Mian’s brows furrowed slightly.

The other party seemed to be trying hard to please Xiao Qimo, speaking thoughtfully from a man’s perspective.

“It’s not easy for men to earn some money outside, and women at home should also be understanding. Not to mention easing their burden, you should at least know when to stop!”

Lu Mian, feeling that time was short, was not willing to argue with these people, and indifferently turned her head to go to the neighboring store, also an appliance shop.

Xiao Qimo watched her prideful and aloof departure before turning his gaze to the salesperson.

The salesperson’s face flushed a bright red, a blush of embarrassment.

How could a man not understand her implication? Looking at her demeanor, he pursed his lips and with sensational flair, he declared.

“In our family, I am the one being supported.”

“What?”

Xiao Qimo didn’t look at the salesperson’s shocked expression, and lifted his feet, leisurely walking towards Lu Mian.

By now, Lu Mian had quickly chosen another Wall Breaker Machine from a different store.

She extended her hand, presenting a matte black card, which the cashier respectfully accepted.

After signing the bill and packing the box, Lu Mian briskly walked away.

Xiao Qimo took the initiative to carry it with a very good mood, “Someone just said you’re living off a man, do you want to depend on one?”

“Depend on a man?” Lu Mian did not quite understand and paused, “No need, I can earn my own money.”

Xiao Qimo: …

After they left, the female sales associate curiously asked her neighbor.

“Which machine did that girl just buy from your store?”

“Tsk, that girl was really generous, she bought the most expensive one, over thirty thousand! Hahaha, the commission is more than I’d make from selling ten regular ones!”

The female sales associate’s face turned awkward.

The neighbor added excitedly, “I told her to follow the official account to get a five hundred yuan discount, and she couldn’t be bothered. I say, Xiaofen, wasn’t she served by you just now? How could you let such a big customer slip away?”

The heavily made-up female sales associate’s face turned crimson with regret, but it was too late.

Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo decided to return the same way to the parking lot underneath.

As they passed a piano store, she glanced inside unintentionally.

Inside the piano store, a girl was asking something, and she slowed her pace slightly, her face showing some confusion.

Xiao Qimo also looked over, “What’s the matter?”

Lu Mian looked at the back of the girl in the piano store and the voice that was coming through, shook her head, “Nothing. I must have mistaken her for someone else.”

She smiled faintly and quickly put the matter behind her.

Xiao Qimo took her to the Guo Family’s house.

Guo’s mother, Li Shuyun, was already busy in the kitchen.

Guo Shuitian worked in the criminal investigation bureau, and Li Shuyun was a shareholder in a listed company, so their family was quite well-off, living in a villa.

Because of the visit by the two distinguished guests today, Li Shuyun specifically did not let the servants help, instead going into the kitchen herself, starting to get busy early in the morning.

Guo Zihao had prepared fruits and seeds, arranged in the living room well in advance.

Guo Shuitian had also taken off his uniform and was wearing casual home clothes, diligently trimming the branches in the yard and even bought several fresh bouquets of lilies for the living room.

The Guo Family had placed considerable importance on the arrival of these two people.

But Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo were quite casual, knocking on the door and then casually entering the house.

Guo Shuitian knew about Xiao Qimo’s identity, and that such a person of his status would come to their place for a meal was something people might not believe if he said it out loud.

Of course, when he invited the two guests, he used a little trick, nothing to worry about.

Xiao Qimo was not one for many formalities. After arriving, he handed over the gift in his hands, “Lu Mian brought a gift for you.”

Guo Shuitian said thank you several times and, not understanding much, set it aside.

It was Li Shuyun who came out of the kitchen to greet them and caught sight of the machine, letting out a small exclamation.

“Why have you brought such an expensive gift?”

She had seen this machine in the store and although her family was well-off, she had hesitated to buy it.

Lu Mian, however, was unconcerned, “I didn’t know what to buy, please don’t mind it.”

This was the second time she met Li Shuyun, and she had a very good impression of her from their first meeting, finding her very kind. It was also Li Shuyun’s words that cracked open her heart, slowly enlivening it.

“Not at all, I’ve been wanting this!” Li Shuyun held the Smart Wall Breaker Machine with great delight, “You’re still a student and haven’t earned money yet. I’ll give you a red envelope later, and you mustn’t refuse!”
