As long as he accompanied her today, she would achieve her goal today. As for tomorrow, who knows? Not to mention, within a month, she might come looking for him tomorrow.
Xiao Yichen took Xu Yanxi’s request seriously. He looked at her and inquired, “You’re serious?”
He could spare half a day for her today if it meant having peace for the next month.
His relationship with Wan’er had finally stabilized, and he wanted to maintain this newfound comfort. The less Xu Yanxi appeared in his life, the better.
“Yes.” Xu Yanxi nodded, pretending to be sincere, but her true intentions differed.
Xiao Yichen was swayed by Xu Yanxi’s facade and consented to her request.
During their car ride to the mall, Xiao Yichen occupied the back seat and delved into his laptop to work. At first, Xu Yanxi didn’t bother him, but it didn’t take long before she couldn’t resist the urge to move closer. She seated herself next to him and rested her head on his shoulder.
Xiao Yichen was thoroughly displeased by Xu Yanxi’s intimate actions.
Helplessly, he halted his work and sat up straight, preventing her from relying on him. They began to engage in conversation.
While shopping at the mall, Xu Yanxi gleefully explored the stores, with Xiao Yichen accompanying her without much interest. Xiao Yichen’s family did not mind what Xu Yanxi chose to purchase.
However, when they entered a boutique and Xiao Yichen saw a dress on a model, he was instantly captivated. The champagne-coloured dress had a unique design, and he believed it would look stunning on his beloved Wan’er.
“Is this dress available in a smaller size?” Xiao Yichen inquired of the salesperson.
Xu Yanxi, examining another dress, then overheard and turned her gaze toward Xiao Yichen and the dress.
“Yes, Mr. Xiao,” the salesperson replied courteously, recognizing Xiao Yichen as her superior due to the mail’s affiliation with the Eastern Empire.
“Please, get one and have it gift-wrapped,” Xiao Yichen requested.
“Alright, please…” The salesperson was about to fulfill the request when Xu Yanxi intervened.
“Hold on,” Xu Yanxi interjected, approaching the salesperson. She examined the dress and inquired, “How many smaller sizes do you have for this dress?”
Xu Yanxi had already deduced that Xiao Yichen must be contemplating a clothing purchase for Lin Wan.
The brand’s clothing designs were top-notch, with models donning the latest trends. Could Lin Wan possibly have the latest fashion?
The salesperson answered politely, “I only have one.”
Upon stepping closer to the salesperson, Xu Yanxi continued, “I’ll take one. Chen is my boyfriend, so he’ll be paying the bill.” With that declaration, she turned on her heel and returned to where she had been browsing, resuming her selection of attire.
“Yanxi, you…” Xiao Yichen was at a loss in the face of Xu Yanxi’s actions.
He wanted to buy a dress he admired for his beloved Wan’er, but she…
The salesperson, standing nearby, was caught in a quandary, unsure how to proceed. She refrained from acting on her assumptions, waiting for Xiao Yichen’s instructions.
Xiao Yichen eventually acquiesced to Xu Yanxi’s request. He instructed the salesperson, “Please wrap it up for her.”
“Okay, Mr. Xiao. Please wait a moment.” The salesperson turned to search for a suitable garment for packing.
After more than two hours of shopping, Xu Yanxi made several purchases, including the dress Xiao Yichen had liked.
“Chen, let’s go for lunch. I’m in the mood for Western food,” Xu Yanxi cooed as she walked beside Xiao Yichen..
