At the Supermarket
Li An’an was shopping with her three children. Li Junjun and Li Jùnjùn were wearing t-shirts and jeans. With their mixed-blood facial features, they looked both pretty and handsome.
Li Baobao was wearing a pink princess dress. Her facial features were exquisite, and her long and curly eyelashes were like butterfly wings. She was extremely cute.
The moment that the group of them walked in, they attracted countless pairs of eyes.
“Sigh, this family is so good-looking. Are they triplets? They’re so blessed.”
“Yes, they’re triplets, and I’m the blessed mommy!”
Li An’an answered with a smile. She was already used to the admiring gazes of the people around her.
When the three babies were born, she had already thought that they were beautiful enough. Who knew that the older they grew, the prettier they became? Now, wherever they went, they made heads turn—100 percent.
As their mother, she couldn’t help feeling very proud of them.
The four of them walked to the food section. She was very successful at faking illness today, so she could accompany her babies for the day!
“Baobao, shall we buy some ketchup and make fries?”
“Okay, Mommy!”
Li Baobao excitedly agreed. Mommy could cook anything, and fries were so yummy.
Li An’an placed the ketchup in the shopping cart and added meat floss, jelly, biscuits, and other snacks for the children. Before she knew it, the cart was filled to the brim.
When she was done, she pushed the cart to the checkout.
At some point, the entrance had become crowded with staff members. The manager of the supermarket squared his shoulders and stood ready .
A group of people walked in!
Li An’an saw Chu Yichen, who strode in on firm steps with his men, his expression serious. There were several elite employees in suits behind him. They seemed to be here to inspect the supermarket.
“What’s wrong, Mommy?”
Li Jùnjùn asked.
Mommy seemed to be frightened by someone she saw.
“Mommy, why aren’t you going to the checkout?”
Li Baobao sat on the shopping cart, swinging her legs as she asked. She looked around curiously.
“Oh, Mommy suddenly remembered that I haven’t bought my skincare products. Let’s go back and get them.”
Li An’an pushed the shopping cart back inside at top speed, worried that Chu Yichen would see them. Although this mall was very big and divided into several floors, she could not put her children at risk.
Like a guilty thief, she half-crouched and ran into the mall with the three children.
Chu Yichen suddenly stopped in his tracks and frowned as he watched a figure dash past.
Were his eyes playing tricks on him? The back of that woman actually looked like Li An’an. Hah, that woman with all her impertinent ideas. She was so worried that he would punish her, she actually pretended to be sick today.
“President?”
The mall executive next to Chu Yichen called out to him again. The president had suddenly stopped moving and fallen silent. Was he dissatisfied with his work? It was too scary.
“Right.”
Chu Yichen came back to his senses and continued walking.
The executive carefully handed over a report.
“This is the mall’s sales report. Please take a look. If there are any shortcomings, please point them out.”
The executive was sweating profusely. Everyone knew that the president was not a frivolous person. He did things swiftly and decisively. If someone did not meet his expectations, that person would be instantly booted out. The executive had already done his utmost to manage the operations in the mall, but he still wasn’t confident.
Chu Yichen glanced at the report and passed it to his secretary.
“We’ll talk about it in the meeting later!”
He strode forward.
The group of people followed, quaking in their shoes.
“President, my idea is to hold a ‘Super Mommy’ competition to increase the popularity of the mall and boost sales. What do you think?”
Chu Yichen said, “Do as you see fit. I just want results.”
The executive felt relieved.
“It will definitely be a lively event. The prizes will be products from the supermarket, and the main event will be a cooking competition!”
