Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

"I don't like the clothes in this store. Let's check out some other brands," said Song Qi to her husband. She looked completely normal.

Ji Kaiyang felt puzzled, but he did not take it to heart. He simply halted and acknowledged Song Qi.

Song Qi felt relieved. She held Ji Kaiyang's arm intimately as she raised her head and glanced at Song Ning. They proceeded to enter the store next door.

Even though they had entered some other boutique, Song Qi's mind kept drifting. She kept thinking about Song Ning.

She had completely lost her mood to shop.

After Song Qi entered the fitting room to try an outfit, Ji Kaiyang took a call. He looked serious after answering the phone. Then, he paced up and down with the phone in his hand.

When Song Qi walked out of the fitting room, she wanted to get her husband's opinion, but he looked a little worried, so she held her tongue. She walked over and asked her husband. "Did something happen?"

Ji Kaiyang halted briefly. He looked sideways at Song Qi. "Something happened at the investment firm."

Song Qi frowned. The investment firm belonged to Song Qi. Her family had given it to her when she got married. All these years, Ji Kaiyang had been taking care of it. The moment she heard about a problem, she asked him, "Is it serious?"

"Two investors pulled out their investment. For now, it's fine," replied Ji Kaiyang mildly.

Song Qi felt relieved to hear this. "I am glad it isn't serious. Just find two other investors to make up for the shortfall then."

"Uh huh." Ji Kaiyang nodded.

Song Qi straightened her clothes. She pondered and said, "Why don't you go back to the firm and find out what happened?"

Ji Kaiyang also felt the same way, but he pretended that it wasn't a big deal and replied. "It's fine. I will shop with you for a little longer."

"It's fine. Work is more important. Why don't you go ahead?" Song Qi pushed him gently and gestured for him to leave.

Usually, she would not let him leave, but today was special.

Ji Kaiyang said nothing and simply gave Song Qi a credit card before he left.

Song Qi watched from behind as Ji Kaiyang left. After he got to the escalator, she veered her eyes and went back into the fitting room.

Ji Kaiyang's assistant called just as he was about to get onto the escalator, so he went over to the railing at the atrium and took the call.

The assistant was calling about the investment firm again. This time, the assistant sounded a little bit more anxious. Ji Kaiyang frowned as he listened. He told the assistant he was on his way to the firm before hanging up the phone.

Ji Kaiyang put away the phone. He wanted to take the escalator down. When he looked up, he inadvertently saw someone wearing a white coat coming down from the third floor on the escalator and promptly froze. He kept staring at the woman.

Wasn't that Song Ning?

Ji Kaiyang was stunned. By the time he snapped out of his shock, the woman was nowhere to be seen.

He stood where he was for a couple of seconds. He shook his head and decided that it could not have been Song Ning. He stopped lingering and took the down riding escalator.

...

After Song Ning was finally done shopping, she reached her hand out to pull her daughter's hand, but she could not find her daughter's hand.

Song Ning turned to see her daughter carrying countless shopping bags. She looked at the things in disbelief. "Did I buy all that stuff?"

Huo Yao smiled calmly. "It's fine. You have plenty of money to burn."

Song Ning could detect her daughter mocking her, so she looked at Huo Yao quietly.

Song Ning cleared her throat sheepishly. She inadvertently noticed something, so she turned back to take a second look at Huo Yao. She looked at her daughter's hair which was casually done up in a bun.

Although her daughter was beautiful from all angles, she felt Huo Yao could be better.
