“Little sister-in-law, I got the dress for you.”
Ye Erruo widened her beautiful, big eyes. The faint pink packaging was extremely exquisite and beautiful. He turned around and looked at Xu Xu. “Why did you purchase it?”
Xu Xu was confused by his reaction. “Boss, you didn’t bring money with you so I helped you purchase it.” How could they not buy what their sister-in-law liked?
In a split second, Mo Jiangye’s face darkened. His gaze was fixed on the packaging as he said in a sinister manner, “Do you have so much free time?”
“Boss, didn’t you like this dress? It will be stunning on sister-in-law. Plus, sister-in-law… Uh…”
Xu Xu stopped talking, shocked by Mo Jiangye’s icy gaze. “Uh. It’s nothing, boss. This is a gift for meeting my sister-in-law. You do not have to return the money to me.”
Mo Jiangye reached out and grabbed the bag. He then asked dubiously, “Do you like this dress?”
His question seemed to be directed at Ye Erruo yet also at Xu Xu…
The corners of Ye Erruo’s lips twitched. “It’s alright. I can’t say I love it, but I do not hate it either.” She could not say she liked it, or he would get more jealous. She could not say she disliked it either, as the dress was not cheap. Xu Xu had bought it for her with kind intentions. Did he really think Mo Jiangye had not bought it because he did not have the money? How could he not have known their boss’s train of thought?
“Can this dress be returned?” she asked softly.
Xu Xu was taken aback. “Why would you want to return it? It can’t be returned, sister-in-law.”
“Do you like it a lot?” Mo Jiangye asked.
“I… ”
“I am not asking you.” He cut her off.
Upon seeing his boss looking at him, Xu Xu was stunned. “Are you asking me? I think it looks really nice.”
“Oh. What part of it looks nice?”
Xu Xu was completely befuddled. “A pale pink dress will look really pretty on sister-in-law. No, to be specific, sister-in-law would look great in anything.”
The more he said, the darker Mo Jiangye’s expression became.
Ye Erruo reacted in time. “How much is this dress? 25.88 million yuan, right? I will transfer you the money later.”
“There’s no need to, sister-in-law! Why are you acting like I’m a stranger?”
Ye Erruo took Mo Jiangye’s hand and said softly, “It’s already been bought. I will only wear it for you when we are home.”
Mo Jiangye bit his lips strangely as he raised the bag by both its straps and asked again, “Do you really like this dress?”
The stares made Xu Xu feel uncomfortable. He felt as if something was wrong.
“I… I like it. It is rather pretty.”
“Ha!” Suddenly, Mo Jiangye let out a soft laugh and his gloomy eyes flashed with a scary glow.
“What? What is wrong, Boss?”
“Wear it and let me see how pretty it is.”
“What?”
Ye Erruo grabbed the box from his hands. “That’s enough. Give Xu Xu the money. This dress is pretty, so I will wear it for you when we’re home.”
How could he allow other men to buy clothes for her? Although it was a bit revealing, wearing it at home would absolutely not be an issue!
Mo Jiangye took back the dress and looked at Xu Xu as he said, “Put on this dress and let me see how nice it looks.”
Ye Erruo was just about to speak when he added with a scarily hoarse voice, “If you want to wear dresses, I will bring you around later to buy some that will satisfy you. If you want to wear this dress, why not wear lingerie instead?”
Ye Erruo pushed him away, feeling angry from embarrassment. “You… You!”
Mo Jiangye smirked. “Do you still want to wear this dress?”
“…”
“Since it has already been bought, let’s just bring it home.”
