After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 900: Are You in a Rush to Go Mine Coal?

Zuo Hong took the card, nodded without changing his expression, but as soon as his mom left, he put the card into his pocket, with no intention of paying for Zoe’s purchases.

Zoe was thrilled with her haul today and was so happy that she didn’t want Zuo Hong to buy her anything; instead, she insisted on getting him a gift.

"You accompanied me out on the weekend, it must be tiring for you. Go ahead, pick something and I’ll buy it for you."

"No need."

Zuo Hong declined indifferently: "If you’ve finished shopping, then let’s go. I have things to do."

Zoe was undeterred, dragging him to shop for men’s items: "What’s the rush? Are you in a hurry to go back and mine coal?"

Zuo Hong felt a rush of blood block his heart.

His mom really knows how to set him up!

Why did she have to reveal his little hobby!

Hadn’t he warned her not to tell anyone?

Zuo Hong was pulled by her around the men’s clothing section for quite a while. Without caring whether he agreed, Zoe picked out a shirt and a tie for him, purchased them, and handed them to him.

"Take them."

"I don’t want them."

"Are you rejecting me?"

"No."

"Then why don’t you want them? If you refuse, I’ll go to your home and have a chat with your mom about this issue."

Zuo Hong’s eyelid twitched, and he quickly accepted the gift, gritted his teeth for a while, and finally uttered two words: "Thank you."

He felt as if he was being kept by her!

Zoe ignored his gritted teeth and felt that using the money she earned to give gifts to others was such a joyful thing.

Cherry Lewis never allowed her to work so she didn’t have much income.

It seemed like she lived a lavish life in the Lewis Family, but before Ryder Lewis died, her family was always tightly controlled.

Her father, Evan Lewis, was timid and afraid of conflicts, never daring to clash with Ryder Lewis, obediently working yet earning little.

Her mother, Cherry, was even worse, more invisible than her, as Old Madam Lewis would always trouble her, nitpick her, causing her mother to feign illness for years and seldom go out.

The whole family was as timid as turtles.

Their family’s life underwent a tremendous change when Isabella Weaver appeared.

Isabella Weaver not only defeated Cherry Lewis but also highly acknowledged her abilities, treating her like a private investigator and paying her a hefty fee every month.

Now she had money, could buy what she loved, and could afford to give gifts to others, feeling happy to the point of tears.

Zuo Hong looked at her excited expression, somewhat at a loss.

It was truly the first time he saw someone get so moved to tears by giving a gift. If she hadn’t been smiling all along, he’d have thought she was feeling heartache for the seven thousand bucks she just splurged on an expensive shirt for him.

The two shopped until dusk, and Zuo Hong, for the first time, experienced the stamina girls have for shopping, walking and browsing endlessly without feeling tired.

It was already night, and as Zoe was happy from shopping today, she generously said, "Secretary Zuo, I’m treating you to dinner!"

Zuo Hong instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at the gift in his hand, he sighed and agreed.

The restaurant was naturally Zoe’s choice, a very famous western restaurant in A City.

Coincidentally, they encountered Harry Hunter and Isabella Weaver in this restaurant.

The Zoe beside him was so excited she almost pounced on them.

If it wasn’t for Harry Hunter’s intimidating aura beside Isabella Weaver, Zuo Hong doubted that Zoe would have jumped towards them.

Isabella Weaver was also very happy to see Zoe, turning to ask Harry Hunter, "Want to eat together?"

Harry Hunter withdrew his cold gaze from Zoe, protectively holding Isabella Weaver, and whispered, "As you wish."
