"Two?" The clerk had not expected him to be so decisive, and her face lit up. "Certainly, please wait a moment."
"Wait." Qu Yunxuan froze, then immediately gave Dong Xuebin a light smack on the head. "What are you doing? They're so expensive."
Dong Xuebin covered his head. "As long as you like it. I've never given you any gifts before, and now that I finally have a little money, can't you give me a chance to show myself off?"
"You're buying one for me? Then I definitely can't accept it. No, no. You just started working, and it wasn't easy for you to earn this money. You're not allowed to waste it." Qu Yunxuan hurriedly stopped the clerk. "Sorry, we don't want them."
Dong Xuebin ignored her objections and said, "We do, we do. Please write up the receipt."
Qu Yunxuan deliberately pulled a stern face and raised her hand fiercely. "You want Auntie to beat you up?"
"Even if you beat me flat, you still have to accept this iPhone 4 today."
"You..." Seeing that she could not argue him down, Qu Yunxuan simply turned her head and ignored him.
Dong Xuebin picked out the model color, screen protector, and case. After they paid, the clerk began opening the package and setting up the phone.

Qu Yunxuan said nothing.
Dong Xuebin gave Aunt Xuan's hand a nudge with his elbow
