After saying this, she got off the truck and walked toward the house.
Mi Nuo followed her in. Then, that woman pointed at a room in a corner. âYouâll sleep there tonight.â
There was no bed, just a pile of goods occupying the room and two thin blankets on the floor. Mi Nuo had wanted to say something, but upon raising her head and looking at that woman, she immediately shut her mouth and remained silent.

Ever since Zhuang Nainai met Hu Ziâs friend, she had been staring at her phone every day.
Because that taxi driver had told her that Hu Zi would call her after some contemplation.
However, two days had passed since then and Hu Zi had not contacted her once.
Zhuang Nainai could not help but feel dejected as she recalled the time they met in the police station. After seeing Hu Zi, she had beat him up. That person would probably still bear a grudge against her, wouldnât he?
As her mind was occupied, she did not have much appetite and was rather restless.
There were some matters to be settled at the office these few days, so Si Zhengting would go to work in the day. After Zhuang Nainai and Ding Mengya had lunch, they sat on the living room couch and watched the television idly.
Seeing her like this, Ding Mengya suggested, âShall we shop for some baby products?â
Zhuang Nainai was at a loss. âWhat are we buying?â
The nursery upstairs had already been fixed up. Si Zhengting had already hired someone to customize things like the baby cot. Everything was made of crude wood, so the furniture had no scent and they were environmentally friendly and hygienic.
Furthermore, the decorations in the room he designed were very fun and fresh. As for clothes, they were already bought way beforehand. In addition, Zuo Yiyi and Lin Xiâer had also sent them clothes. Hence, the number of clothes they had was so huge that the babies wouldnât be able to wear every single piece even if they wore new clothes every day.
Ding Mengya said, âWe can buy toys!â
Needless to say, the toys were already piling up in the room. Was there really a need for more?!
However, she could only nod after seeing Ding Mengyaâs excited expression. âOkay.â
Dazhuang escorted them to the nearest mall. With people protecting them on both sides, they shopped in peace.
Initially, Zhuang Nainai had thought that there was nothing much to buy. However, upon seeing those tiny baby clothes, her urge to shop suddenly rose.
âLook at that little skirt! So pretty!â As she pointed at that little skirt nearby, Zhuang Nainaiâs eyes lit up. She imagined how blessed her baby would be when she wore such pretty clothes after she was born.
After she heard this, Ding Mengyaâs lips twitched. She could not bear to tell her that that skirt was too big and that the baby would be able to fit into it only after one year. Instead, she waved her hand. âGet it if you like it!â
With twinkling eyes, Zhuang Nainai walked forward, picked up the skirt, and put it in the shopping cart.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two womenâs âbuy-it-allâ mode had been fully activated. When they were about to head home at night, Zhuang Nainai finally realized the damage they had done today after seeing the number of bags the two bodyguards were carrying on each of their hands.
On the way home, Zhuang Nainai was in a dilemma. âWe bought so many things, but we canât possibly use all of them. Shall we return some of these items?â
Upon hearing this, Ding Mengyaâs lips twitched as she shook her head. âEven if we canât use all of them, we still mean well. Just keep them. When I was your age, I didnât even have time to buy stuff for my children even if I wanted to.â
Zhuang Nainai could not help but look at her.
It was already 5 pm and the sky was getting dark.
Under the dim light, Ding Mengyaâs looked slightly lost. She also looked like she was reminiscing about the past.
She pursed her lips before saying, âWhen I was young, my best friend and I promised to learn how to knit and shop for baby clothes together when we were pregnant. But...â
