Power and Wealth
Chapter 1334 – Gave the wrong gift
Night.
Dong Xuebing was alone in the apartment.
Dong Xuebing understood Mayor Jiang wanted to exchange gifts with him. After all, giving expensive gifts to government leaders is not good. She had a good reputation and should be worried about this. So, she decided to use a man’s belt as a return gift. He would not use the belt as it was supposed to be her father’s birthday gift. The style should be old-fashioned and does not suit him.
Never mind, as long as she accepts the clothes.
Dong Xuebing does not mind what the belt looks like. He will not wear it if it does not suit him.
Footsteps got nearer. Dong Xuebing left his door open. He walked quickly to the gates and opened them for Jiang Fangfang to enter.
The door closed.
Jiang Fangfang gave Dong Xuebing a beautiful box. “Take a look. Do you like it?”
“Let me see.”
“Try it on and see if it looks good.”
“Sure. Thank you.”
Dong Xuebing knew the belt would not suit him, but he must say it was lovely. This is a gift from his leader, after all. He opened the box and the packaging inside.
Dong Xuebing saw the belt and was surprised. It was not as old-fashioned as he thought. It was trendy. It was black with a ‘H’ buckle, and the inside was blue. He likes it a lot.
Jiang Fangfang asked. “How is it?”
Dong Xuebing replied honestly. “It’s beautiful. Is this for your father? How come it’s a bit…”
“A bit trendy?” Jiang Fangfang replied slowly. “That’s why my father does not like it.”
Was it really for her father?
Impossible. She is lying.
Have you seen old men wearing such belts? Even though the inside leather cannot be seen, it did not feel right. This belt is for young men. Mayor Jiang would never buy this belt for a sixty-year-old man. It will not suit his father. Did she buy this belt for her dead husband? Maybe someone gave it to her dead husband, and she felt it was not right to give him her dead husband’s belongings. So, she lied. But her husband died a few years ago, and this packaging looks new. It does not look like it is a few years old. This belt is new. Who would buy an expensive belt for the dead?
What is going on?
Something is not correct.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and was shocked.
Did Jiang Fangfang buy this belt for him when she went to the provincial capital? She could not find an excuse to give him the belt and used this opportunity to give it to him. She also lied that she bought it for her father and has no use for it.
This might be possible.
The more Dong Xuebing thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
Dong Xuebing felt the belt become more precious now. Jiang Fangfang had picked this belt for him.
Dong Xuebing was flattered.
Jiang Fangfang looked at him. “Try it on.”
“Sure.” Dong Xuebing removed his belt and put on the new belt.
Putting the belt through his pant’s belt loops in front was easy.
But pushing the belt through the loops at the back was difficult.
Jiang Fangfang bends over and helps Dong Xuebing with the belt.
Dong Xuebing looked at his waist and liked the belt. “It’s nice.”
Jiang Fangfang took a few steps back and nodded. “Not bad. You should match it with a light-colored shirt.”
Dong Xuebing thanked her. “Thank you.”
Jiang Fangfang replied. “You don’t need to thank me. I did not pick it for you.”
Dong Xuebing did not expose her. “Yes. You should look at the clothes I picked for you. You cannot reject my gift after I accept this belt.”
Jiang Fangfang smiled. “Sure. Let me see.”
Dong Xuebing looked at the bags on the coffee table. This… this… oh… this one.
Dong Xuebing had too many gifts on the table. He picked one and passed it to Jiang Fangfang. “Try it and see if it fits. I can exchange it if it cannot fit.”
Jiang Fangfang nodded and took it.
Dong Xuebing replied. “I will do the dishes now.”
They did not clear the dishes, and Dong Xuebing was afraid Jiang Fangfang would wash them. He quickly cleared the table and went to the kitchen with the dirty dishes.
Although it was a coat, Dong Xuebing closed the kitchen door.
Dong Xuebing washed the dishes happily and glanced at his belt. He likes it a lot. Luckily, he bought clothes for Jiang Fangfang as a gift. It would be embarrassing if she gave him this belt, and he has nothing for her. He picked an Italian-brand white blazer for her. He knows it would look good on her. It was a casual blazer, and she could wear it for leisure.
One minute…
Five minutes…
Dong Xuebing was done with the dishes. Jiang Fangfang should have put on the blazer and left the kitchen.
Jiang Fangfang was still wearing her blouse and did not put on the blazer.
Dong Xuebing blinked. “Have you tried it? How is it?”
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing with a weird stare. “Not bad. It looks good. I don’t need to try.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “No. Try and see if it fits. I can exchange the size if it does not fit. I cannot exchange it if it is past the exchange period.” He thought to himself. You are not wearing a jacket or blazer. You can just put on the blazer over your clothes. Could it be she does not like it?
“I don’t think I will try it on.” Jiang Fangfang touched her side.
“But if you don’t try…”
Jiang Fangfang picked up a lacy bra and underwear from her side and put it into the box. “I will try it when I go back.”
Dong Xuebing was stunned.
Underwear?
Why is it underwear?
Damn! I took the wrong gift!
