The next day, Ye Hao took Gu Yi strolling around the main district of B City.
Gu Yi bought a little something for everyone in her family.
When they reached the men’s clothing store, Gu Yi insisted on pulling Ye Hao in.
"I have plenty of clothes already, no need to buy more, plus I’m always in the military, no time to wear them."
Ye Hao was holding things in both hands, so he had to use his body to block Gu Yi.
"No way, you said last night, today you’ll listen to me while we’re out."
Gu Yi looked at Ye Hao with a ’you’re-not-keeping-your-word’ expression.
Ye Hao’s ears turned a bit red upon hearing this.
This woman, wasn’t it her who deliberately coaxed him with those words last night?
"Are you going to deny what you said last night? Didn’t you always say a man’s word is his bond?"
Ye Hao cleared his throat.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you."
After saying that, Ye Hao stepped aside, even raising his right hand to make a ’please’ gesture.
Gu Yixiao went in smiling.
She knew Ye Hao wouldn’t wear formal clothes, so she only picked out a shirt and a pair of dress pants.
Then she chose two sets of sportswear in the casual section.
When she was about to pay for the clothes, Ye Hao stopped her again.
"Let’s just get the sportswear, this set is too formal, I won’t have a chance to wear it."
He pointed to the shirt set and said to Gu Yi.
"Just because I knew you’d rarely get a chance to wear this, I picked out only one set."
After Gu Yi spoke, she deliberately leaned in closer.
"You have such a great body, you’ll look great in this, trust me."
Ye Hao saw Gu Yi was in a good mood and didn’t want to upset her over small matters.
If buying is what she wants, then so be it, if he doesn’t wear it out, he can just wear it at home for her; seeing her expression earlier, she seems to really look forward to it.
After buying the clothes, Gu Yi also bought Ye Hao a pair of sneakers and a pair of leather shoes.
Ye Hao knew nothing he said would stop Gu Yi from buying these for him now.
He didn’t waste his breath, just saved his energy for carrying things.
When Gu Yi felt she’d shopped enough, she turned around and saw Ye Hao’s hands were full.
Gu Yi felt a bit embarrassed.
"I went overboard shopping, let me carry some things."
As she spoke, she was about to help Ye Hao carry stuff.
Ye Hao dodged her hand, although he didn’t understand what she meant by ’overboard shopping,’ he could guess she’d shopped quite happily.
"It’s fine, these things aren’t heavy, I can carry them. Do you want to keep shopping?"
"We’ve bought everything we need, let’s not continue."
Gu Yi looked at Ye Hao’s hands, surprised she bought so much.
"Then let’s find a place to eat."
"Sure, I’m really a bit hungry now."
Gu Yi had only eaten an egg and porridge this morning, didn’t feel it during shopping, but now that Ye Hao mentioned it, she realized she’s truly hungry.
"Then let’s walk ahead and see what’s there to eat."
They walked forward again.
Ye Hao saw a jewelry store by the roadside, stopped, and said to Gu Yi.
"Let’s go in and have a look."
Without waiting for Gu Yi to respond, he pushed the door open with his body and waited for her.
Gu Yi smiled and walked through the door he opened.
As soon as Ye Hao entered, he scanned the store quickly and headed straight to the ring counter.
Last time he heard from a comrade that women love when men gift them gold rings, especially for weddings.
When he married Gu Yi, he didn’t have time to prepare these things, now he definitely wants to make up for it, he just wants Gu Yi to be happy every day.
"How about this one?"
Ye Hao waited for Gu Yi to come over, quickly pointed at a ring and asked her.
Gu Yi already saw Ye Hao wanted to buy her a ring, she felt quite delighted.
Nowadays, weddings are incomplete without rings; it represents mutual commitment, a lifelong partnership.
Didn’t expect Ye Hao to think of this.
"Hmm, it looks pretty."
"Can you please take that ring out for us to see?"
Ye Hao said to the sales assistant beside him.
When the assistant took the ring out, Ye Hao put down everything he was holding, grabbed Gu Yi’s hand, and slid the ring onto her finger.
Unexpectedly, the size fit perfectly, Gu Yi’s fingers were slender, her skin fair, the ring looked beautiful on her.
Ye Hao felt internally very satisfied.
Gu Yi genuinely liked it, she always envied others wearing rings in her past life, but Ye Hao never bought her one.
Later, after her family’s situation improved, she bought one herself.
Though she doesn’t know what changed Ye Hao in this lifetime, she loves the change.
Ye Hao paid for the ring, and they found a small restaurant to have lunch.
After ordering, Gu Yi and Ye Hao sat across each other at the table.
"Why did you decide to buy me a ring?"
Gu Yi was curious about this.
"Heard it from my comrade last time, who said gifting this would surely please the wife."
Ye Hao held Gu Yi’s hand.
Gu Yi rested her elbow on the table, propping her chin, nodding heavily at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao raised a hand to pat Gu Yi’s head, smiling as he spoke.
Gu Yi suddenly felt her heart filled, a sense of time standing still and peace.
Soon their meal was served, Ye Hao scooped a bowl of rice for Gu Yi and handed it over.
They were enjoying their meal when someone suddenly called out Gu Yi’s name.
Ye Hao and Gu Yi looked up.
"Boss Liang, what a coincidence."
It turned out to be Liang Yesheng.
"It really is. I was planning to visit you these days, didn’t expect to bump into you here. And who’s this?"
Liang Yesheng looked at Ye Hao.
"I’m Gu Yi’s partner, my name is Ye Hao, nice to meet you."
Ye Hao introduced himself without waiting for Gu Yi and extended his hand to Liang Yesheng.
"Hello, I’m Liang Yesheng."
"Ye Hao, this is Boss Liang I mentioned to you before."
Gu Yi introduced from the side.
"Boss Liang, are you alone? If you don’t mind, join us for a meal?"
Seeing no one accompanied Liang Yesheng, Gu Yi invited him to join them.
"Then Mr. Ye, I’ll graciously accept."
"Please, have a seat."
Gu Yi moved some tableware beside Ye Hao, giving the spot to Liang Yesheng.
Ye Hao called the waiter to bring more tableware and added a dish.
"Gu Yi, the recipe I bought from you last time, we’ve already started production. Although we’ve bought the vacuum packaging machine as well, our sales range remains the same as before. I want to ask your advice about entering new markets."
Liang Yesheng had wanted to ask Gu Yi this for a while, he had thoughts but couldn’t figure out some details.
Since they met by chance today, he couldn’t miss the opportunity.
"Vacuum packaging has solved the short shelf-life problem, what’s left is expanding the sales scope and establishing a presence in new markets."
Liang Yesheng listened to Gu Yi and nodded along.
Although Ye Hao hasn’t researched this area, seeing Liang Yesheng listen intently to Gu Yi, he also unconsciously sat up straight to hear what Gu Yi has to say next.
