Yao Tiao’s face could not be any darker at that moment! She was very certain that Mo Jiangye’s compliment had not been directed at her.
“Young Master Mo, do I look good in this dress?”
The man did not even pay her any attention. Instead, he rose to his feet and approached his woman.
“Keep this and change into something else.” He stood by the fitting room and tightened the ribbon at her waist.
“I’m about to change out of this dress already. Why are you tightening the ribbon?”
“Go change.” He turned her around and pushed her back into the fitting room.
Ye Erruo came out in another outfit a while later.
“It looks good. We’ll take it. Now change into something else.”
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 dress’s back zipper, the man came straight inside and stopped her before she could try on more outfits.
“Mo Jiangye, what are you doing?” she shrieked.
“They’re all nice on you, so we’ll take them all. No need to try on any more of them.” 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.
“You!” The woman was practically rendered speechless.
“Stand still.” 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.
“You’re out already? That’s fast.”
Holding the pieces his wife had selected in his arms, he said, “Continue choosing.”
“…”
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.
“I won’t be able to wear all these clothes. It would be a waste to buy them all,” said Ye Erruo, who was speechless.
His lips curled as he leaned over and whispered into her ear, “Give them to Yao Tiao then. She can return whatever she can’t wear.”
“That’s too troublesome. I’ll pick a few pieces to take home. Don’t you bring the remaining ones back.”
“Okay.” He obediently respected her wishes. “Can we go to the supermarket now?”
Her lips curled up. “Just a while more. Yao Tiao wants to buy cosmetics. Once we’re done with that, we’ll go to the supermarket.”
“Okay, but she’s not allowed to come with us.”
Grocery shopping is an activity meant only for the two of us. I won’t let anyone else join us.
“It’ll be late by the time we finish shopping for cosmetics. Of course she won’t be joining us.”
“Good.”
I won’t 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!
That’s too much. That’s too much!
I swear, I won’t go shopping with them ever again. I’m dripping with jealousy! Wuuwuu…
“We’ll be able to buy fresh groceries if we go earlier,” the man commented out of the blue.
“Pardon?”
“Let’s go to the supermarket now.” He dragged her away at once.
“No—Yao Tiao. What about Yao Tiao?”
“Hey! Where are you going?”
He coldly replied, “She’ll find her way back on her own.”
“Hey, where are you going?” Yao Tiao quickened her pace in an attempt to catch up with them.
The man tossed a card at her. “Settle the payment with this and hail a cab for you. You can return the card to Ruoruo tomorrow.”
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 they’re 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.
