Tang Beibei was curious where Jiang Jingchen was taking her when they stopped at a carpark of a shopping mall.
She turned to ask the man, âAre we going to the mall to buy something?â
Jiang Jingchen nodded. Last night when she hugged him to sleep, he noticed that her pajamas were very old. Her cotton pajamas were already pilling.
The clothes she took from the Rong residence were not only old but also old-fashioned. So, he brought her to the mall today to buy some clothes.
Tang Beibei followed them to the womenâs section. She couldnât help but show some joy in her eyes when she saw that the beautiful clothes in the store.
No woman could resist beautiful clothes.
Tang Beibei didnât have the money to buy them but she still desired them.
Jiang Jingchen rolled his wheelchair up to Tang Beibei and coughed. âYou can choose a few sets of clothes that you like.â
Tang Beibei was a little reserved. âThe clothes here must be very expensive. I⦠We can go to a cheaper place.â
Jiang Jingchen held her hand and said softly, âThey are not expensive. Iâve asked around. Thereâs a sale today.â
Tang Beibeiâs eyes lit up when she heard the word âsaleâ. âHow much is the discount? What kind of promotion is it?â
âYou choose your clothes first, and theyâll tell you. This is insider information that Song Zhou specifically found out for you.â
Song Zhouâs mouth twitched when he heard this. Although he was a butler, he would not be so bored as to inquire about the clothing sales at shopping malls. His young master would say anything to coax a woman.
But Tang Beibei believed him. She stared at Song Zhou with her bright eyes. Song Zhou chuckled in his heart, but he revealed a polite smile.
âYes, young madam. Go try on some clothes.â
Tang Beibei walked around the store for a bit and found that the materials and styles of the clothes here were all very good. Although she didnât know much about fashion, she could tell that the designs here were very thoughtful.
She picked up a dress and looked for the label, but she couldnât find it. She asked the shop assistant in confusion, âWhy are there no labels?â
These clothes didnât even have labels⦠Were they of questionable quality?
Besides, she didnât feel safe not knowing the price.
The shop assistant looked at the man in the wheelchair, especially at the half of his face with scars. She shivered in fear.
When she heard Tang Beibeiâs question, she quickly went over and said, âThere are no labels because we are having a special promotion today. These clothes here are of high quality. If you see something you like, weâll put the label on for you.â
âBut I wonât know the price! That wonât work.â
Tang Beibei had been poor since young. The first thing she looked at when buying things was the price, and then the price-performance ratio.
She would only consider it if the price-performance ratio was high.
âThe price, the priceâ¦â
The shop assistant looked at the man in the wheelchair again, feeling a little lost. Today, the higher-ups suddenly informed them to take the labels off the clothes, and told them that there was a discount if a man in a wheelchair brought a woman here to buy clothes.
âMadam, the price is very reasonable.â
Although the dress was very beautiful, Tang Beibei still stood there motionless.
Jiang Jingchen said, âTrying on clothes is free, Beibei. And we can still bargain.â
Tang Beibei furrowed brows relaxed. She didnât have to pay if she just tried on the clothes, so she took the dress and went to the fitting room.
After she changed into the dress, Tang Beibei was a little embarrassed. The dress made her skin look even fairer. It had a flattering V-neck with a waist-hugging design, and a skirt that fell at her knees.
She did a twirl and the outer chiffon shell spun beautifully.
âHubby, what do you think?â
She looked at him with a flushed face, her bright eyes shining, anticipating his evaluation.
âVery nice,â he said.
Jiang Jingchen looked at the womanâs slim waist. Although he had held her waist last night, the waist-hugging dress was really seductive.
âBeibei, Iâve picked out a few pieces for you.â
His taste was naturally not bad, but the clothes he had chosen for her came in all kinds of styles. There were elegant dresses, pieces that looked fresh and lively, even some that looked cute and sweet. She looked very good in all of them.
Jiang Jingchen was in a good mood when he saw his woman dressed so well and picked out a few more pieces for her.
Not just dresses but matching shoes, accessories, hats, even scarves.
Song Zhou stood behind his young master silently and observed him. His eyes were full of love. Why did he feel like they had a daughter who just became a woman?
Although the clothes he chose were of different styles, all of them had two things in common.
They were conservative and very expensive.
Just a random scarf would cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Tang Beibei tried on dozens of pieces, and she thought that almost every piece looked good. She suddenly had decision paralysis and frowned.
âSigh, I can wear these few pieces to school and the others as casual clothes. Hubby, which ones do you think I should buy?â
Jiang Jingchen handed her a pair of shoes indifferently. âDonât worry. Take your time to try them on. Try on these shoes.â
Tang Beibei thought that since she hadnât bought anything yet, she neednât worry. She tried on the shoes.
The shop assistant standing next to them saw the man make a gesture, asking her to pack up the clothes and shoes that Tang Beibei had tried on.
Tang Beibei used to buy only trainers that cost no more than a hundred yuan. Jiang Jingchen gave her all kinds of shoes to try on. She walked around a few times and felt that the flat pumps were very comfortable.
âHubby, Iâll buy this pair of shoes. Iâve never owned pumps.â
Jiang Jingchen saw another pair of the same pumps in a different color. âGood things come in pairs. Weâll take two pairs.â
Tang Beibei said quickly, âOne pair is enough. Two pairs of the same style is such a waste.â
Jiang Jingchen didnât mind. He was happy to spend money on her. It wasnât a waste.
âIf you like them, you can rotate them.â
Tang Beibei bit her lip. He purposely brought her here to buy clothes and shoes, she shouldnât refute him.
âAlright, Iâll pay for them, okay? I have money now.â
She had gotten quite a lot of money from the Rongs, so she could afford to buy some clothes and shoes.
The shop assistant said with a smile, âMadam, your spending has reached the amount for our store event. Thereâs a lucky draw that you can participate in.â
âIf I donât win anything, I wonât get a discount?â
When it came to money, Tang Beibei was more diligent and careful .
The shop assistantâs mouth twitched. She was still thinking of a way to explain to Tang Beibei when she heard the manâs deep and pleasant voice.
âBeibei, donât worry. Theyâll give you a discount. Donât you see that thereâs no one in the store? Itâs obvious that this store canât sell any clothes. They will give you a discount.â
Jiang Jingchen said seriously.
ââ¦â
Song Zhou couldnât help but complain in his heart. There was no one in the store because the young master had ordered that they should only serve Tang Beibei tonight.
The young master was getting better at spouting nonsense to coax women.
Respect, respect!
âYouâre right.â
Tang Beibei saw the shop assistant bring over a lucky draw box. She reached into the box but stopped halfway.
She turned around and looked at Jiang Jingchen with a playful smile.
âHubby, give me your hand.â
Jiang Jingchen was puzzled, but he still held out his hand for her.
Tang Beibei held his hand, rubbed it and said, âIâm unlucky. Hubby, please give me some good luck and hope I draw the best prize.â
Jiang Jingchen held her small hand. âBeibei, if you want to borrow my luck, you canât rub my hands.â
âThen what should I do?â
Tang Beibei was curious and stared at him without blinking.
