Chapter 188 - 189: Just Dream On!
She had bought more than twenty sets of clothes for the two kids, and only stopped when Lingyue kept insisting, “That’s enough, no more shopping,” despite still feeling unsatisfied.
As they passed by the men’s department, Ye Xingbei was attracted by a white shirt with dark gold stripes showcased on a mannequin.
A thought suddenly popped into her mind: Gu Junzhu would look exceptionally handsome in this shirt.
Without thinking, she stopped in her tracks, turned around, and walked into the store.
She felt the fabric of the shirt; it was very comfortable. She looked at the price, hmm… while it couldn’t compare to the high-end custom-tailored attire of Fifth Lord of Gu, it was passable – not to the point of being disgraceful.
She pointed at Gu Junzhu and asked the salesperson, “Do you have this in his size?”
The salesperson, who had been staring spellbound at the four beautiful and noble-looking people, was trying to figure out their relationships. Hearing Ye Xingbei’s question, she quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, we do.”
She took out a new one and handed it to Ye Xingbei, “This one should fit perfectly.”
Ye Xingbei held the shirt and sized it up against Gu Junzhu. She blushed slightly, feeling a bit awkward, but tried to appear calm and casually asked, “I think you would look great in this. Do you like it? I can buy it for you if you do!”
Gu Junzhu initially thought she was buying gifts for Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, and was simply using him as a reference for the salesperson.
He didn’t expect Ye Xingbei to be buying him clothes.
A sudden, indescribable happiness filled his heart. He picked up the shirt and felt the fabric, “Hmm, it’s good, feels nice too. Ye Xiaobei, as expected of someone in the fashion industry, you really have good taste. From now on, you’re in charge of my wardrobe!”
Ye Xingbei:”…”
So this is what they mean by ‘give him an inch and he’ll take a mile’. She finally got to experience it.
She just wanted to buy him a shirt on a whim, and now apparently she’s supposed to manage his entire wardrobe.
In your dreams!
Ye Xingbei rolled her eyes at him, “Keep dreaming!”
She always felt uneasy about trying on clothing in stores, unsure if others had tried them on before, so she never wore them against her skin. She would just eyeball the size and if it seems okay, she would buy it.
She didn’t make Gu Junzhu try on the shirt. After a brief size assessment, she had the salesperson pack up the clothes.
While the salesperson was packing, she spotted a pair of trousers that caught her eye.
Two good things are better than one – this would make a decent outfit for the Fifth Lord of Gu.
She held the trousers against Gu Junzhu to gauge the size. It seemed fitting, so she asked the salesperson to get the right size. She then paid with her card.
Gu Junzhu did not fight with her over the bill.
Of course, if Ye Xiaobei was the one spending the money, that would make it a real gift from her.
Clothes bought by Ye Xiaobei… hmm, not worse than those high-end custom pieces!
After paying, Ye Xingbei looked at all the zeros on her bank statement and felt a twinge of pain.
A single shirt and pair of trousers cost more than the sum of over twenty outfits for the two kids.
She needs to work harder, earn more. Money is spent so easily, and keeping a man is such an expensive task!
After buying the clothes, Gu Junzhu bought some toys for the two children.
After a big shopping spree, both the children and Ye Xingbei were exhausted.
Upon the insistence of Xiao Shumiao, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei took the two children to the KFC on the first floor.
Despite KFC being called ‘junk food’, kids just love it.
Xiao Shumiao had never had it before.
In the past, Ye Xingbei would never let him eat such things, no matter what.
After staying with Gu Junzhu for a while, Xiao Shumiao had tried many new foods. As a result, when he saw KFC, he immediately longed for it..
