Yao Tiaoâs face could not be any darker at that moment! She was very certain that Mo Jiangyeâs compliment had not been directed at her.
âYoung Master Mo, do I look good in this dress?â
The man did not even pay her any attention. Instead, he rose to his feet and approached his woman.
âKeep this and change into something else.â He stood by the fitting room and tightened the ribbon at her waist.
âIâm about to change out of this dress already. Why are you tightening the ribbon?â
âGo change.â He turned her around and pushed her back into the fitting room.
Ye Erruo came out in another outfit a while later.
âIt looks good. Weâll take it. Now change into something else.â
A resigned Ye Erruo popped into the fitting room again to try on yet another design.
This time, before she could even pull up the dressâs back zipper, the man came straight inside and stopped her before she could try on more outfits.
âMo Jiangye, what are you doing?â she shrieked.
âTheyâre all nice on you, so weâll take them all. No need to try on any more of them.â He reached over for the set of clothes she had tried on and helped her put them on. He could not stand waiting any longer if she tried on more clothes.
âYou!â The woman was practically rendered speechless.
âStand still.â He propped her head upright before helping her put on her clothes properly.
By the time the two of them came out of the fitting room, Yao Tiao was already outside, leaning against the wall with the dress she had chosen in her hand.
âYouâre out already? Thatâs fast.â
Holding the pieces his wife had selected in his arms, he said, âContinue choosing.â
â...â
The way her husband would purchase any clothes she cast a second glance at scared her. It made her not dare to let her eyes roam about in the massive shopping mall.
Tagging alongside them was a dumbfounded Yao Tiao, who was floored by the fact that the man was practically bringing the entire mall home.
âI wonât be able to wear all these clothes. It would be a waste to buy them all,â said Ye Erruo, who was speechless.
His lips curled as he leaned over and whispered into her ear, âGive them to Yao Tiao then. She can return whatever she canât wear.â
âThatâs too troublesome. Iâll pick a few pieces to take home. Donât you bring the remaining ones back.â
âOkay.â He obediently respected her wishes. âCan we go to the supermarket now?â
Her lips curled up. âJust a while more. Yao Tiao wants to buy cosmetics. Once weâre done with that, weâll go to the supermarket.â
âOkay, but sheâs not allowed to come with us.â
Grocery shopping is an activity meant only for the two of us. I wonât let anyone else join us.
âItâll be late by the time we finish shopping for cosmetics. Of course she wonât be joining us.â
âGood.â
I wonât take her with us even if she wants to tag along.
Yao Tiao, who was overjoyed with her purchases, felt like she had been dealt critical damage when she looked up to see the couple in front of her sticking so close to each other and having a hushed conversation!
Thatâs too much. Thatâs too much!
I swear, I wonât go shopping with them ever again. Iâm dripping with jealousy! Wuuwuu...
âWeâll be able to buy fresh groceries if we go earlier,â the man commented out of the blue.
âPardon?â
âLetâs go to the supermarket now.â He dragged her away at once.
âNoâYao Tiao. What about Yao Tiao?â
âHey! Where are you going?â
He coldly replied, âSheâll find her way back on her own.â
âHey, where are you going?â Yao Tiao quickened her pace in an attempt to catch up with them.
The man tossed a card at her. âSettle the payment with this and hail a cab for you. You can return the card to Ruoruo tomorrow.â
While carrying her purchases in one hand, she stared at the card in her other hand. Once again, she felt that she had to be insane to go out with this lovey-dovey couple. She would never do so again.
This couple is too much! This is too much...
The stench of love theyâre giving out makes it terribly hard for me, a single girl, to stay in the same space as them!
It was only when she lowered her head and realized that her purchases that day were free that she felt a little better.
