Li Rundong was from a relatively traditional family, with a background in education, so naturally they took academics quite seriously. But he himself was still quite ambitious and willing to get involved in things.
Xu Musen smiled and patted his shoulder, "No worries, we're not in a rush these next few days. Have a good talk with your family, thinking it over is never a bad thing."
"Okay, thanks Brother Sen."
Li Rundong nodded earnestly.
Xu Musen called An Nuannuan, intending to take her out to buy some clothes today, preparing to visit his grandparents' home.
After all, he had already swept her off her feet, but since it had happened, he might as well return to confess boldly.
The phone rang for quite a while before someone picked up.
"Hello, what's my dear wife so busy with, taking so long to answer my call?"
Xu Musen asked with a smile.
But there was no response from the other end, instead, he heard some low chuckling.
"Stop saying hello, your wife is changing clothes right now."
Surprisingly, it was Yao Mingyue's voice that came from the other end of the phone.
Xu Musen was momentarily stunned, "Yao Mingyue? How come you have Nuannuan's phone?"
At that moment, Yao Mingyue was sitting in the living room at home, legs crossed, reclining on the soft sofa, and biting into a grape from the bunch on the table while listening to the perplexed voice of Xu Musen.
"Last time when I came over for a meal, I saw Nuannuan didn't have new clothes to wear, so I decided to go shopping with her to buy a few outfits."
"You? Going shopping with her?"
Xu Musen's head buzzed.
Would rivals go shopping for clothes together?
Better to buy burial shrouds for each other.
"Nuannuan agreed to this?"
"Of course, as for your straight man's taste in fashion, just mind your business and be ready to pay in the afternoon," replied Yao Mingyue before abruptly ending the call.
Xu Musen was left dumbfounded. What on earth was that little sickly cutie up to?
Things were getting more and more bizarre.
Meanwhile, Yao Mingyue, putting down An Nuannuan's phone, curved her lips into a smirk.
The floor-cleaning robot was automatically sweeping the floor when Yao Mingyue tapped on her phone, directing the bot to move to her feet.
Tapping the robot on its head, she mumbled to herself, "Wonder if I should add a camera to it..."
But the minute she imagined it might capture some not-so-kid-friendly scenes, such as in the living room, the balcony, the kitchen...
Some perverts really do want to try everything once.
Yao Mingyue's cheeks flushed, deciding it was better not to give herself the thrill.
"Achoo! Who's gossiping about me now?"
Xu Musen sneezed. Even though he knew An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue wouldn't come to blows, he felt it was best to be nearby and keep an eye.
Xu Musen drove to David City not far away.
Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan were on the second floor, browsing through clothes.
For men, shopping for clothes with a woman could be quite torturous, straining both the wallet and the soles of the feet.
On the first floor of David City were various luxury brand stores. Even LV seemed just plain common here.
Lavish jewelry and watch stores, where the slew of zeroes in the price tags seemed longer than a human lifespan.
Xu Musen wasn't in a rush to join them upstairs, knowing well that he wouldn't have much say, only serving as a bag carrier.
As he looked around the jewelry store, he figured he would eventually get something shiny for Nuannuan.
Although Nuannuan wasn't lacking such accessories and didn't seem to have a particular fondness for jewelry,
ceremonial gestures were still important.
Gazing at the sparkling diamond rings in the display case, he thought that, despite diamonds being part of the biggest scam since the 20th century,
at their core, diamonds aren't much different from the coal used in stoves.
But, no denying, they did look pretty, and Xu Musen could imagine how beautiful Nuannuan's delicate hands would look adorned with a shiny ring.
So, a fool and his money are soon parted, eh? But how many times in a lifetime does one get to marry?
The occasional expense was worth it.
"Handsome, looking at diamond rings?"
The sales assistant walked up, eyeing the handsome guy before her and cheerfully said, "Every diamond ring here comes with professional certification and a unique code, and one person can only purchase once in their lifetime, symbolizing eternity."
Xu Musen just smiled.
He was familiar with this brand's gimmick; he had bought a diamond ring from this very store for his marriage to Yao Mingyue in his past life.
One purchase per lifetime sounded like a pledge of everlasting commitment.
But then it was revealed that you could actually buy as often as you wanted.
This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime purchase!
"Really, only once in a lifetime?" Xu Musen asked with genuine interest.
The female sales associate locked eyes with Xu Musen for a moment and also smiled, "But it must be for the person you love the most."
Xu Musen saw through the ploy but found it amusing nonetheless.
"Look closely, this watch is the one I previously bought from your store. It was priced at 300,000 at the time, and now you're offering me just 30,000 for it?"
Suddenly, a slightly angry voice came from the nearby watch store.
Xu Musen walked to the entrance of the watch store, where a tall and slender figure stood by the counter.
Her long hair flowed down her back, dressed in a light blue, traditional-style long dress that showed off her refined figure with much elegance.
Xu Musen recognized her.
At that moment, Zhu Yulan's exquisite face showed signs of warmth mixed with anger and a touch of fatigue, as she argued with the manager in front of her.
