Qiao Qiaoâs mouth was full as she said, âl canât eat too much either. Iâm going on a diet.â
Shao Jingmo asked, âDonât you girls always say that you have to eat your fill to have the strength to lose weight?â
âNot every girl. Little Uncle, what you know is only one-sided. Girls who really want to lose weight will definitely be able to control their mouths.â With that, Qiao Qiao stuffed another piece of beef into her mouth and said with puffed cheeks, âBut Iâm also the kind of girl you know.â
Shao Jingmo chuckled and reminded her, âEat slowly. Donât eat and drink just because you ate a digestive tablet before dinner.â
âGot it.â Qiao Qiaoâs cheeks never stopped moving.
After paying the bill, Shao Jingmo returned and handed Qiao Qiao her wallet. âTake it.â
At that moment, Qiao Qiao had just put on her lipstick. When she saw the wallet Shao Jingmo handed her, she blinked in confusion. âWhy did you give me the wallet?â
Shao Jingmo said indifferently, âMen are trying on clothes outside, and women are paying. This is an act of giving men face.â At this point, Shao Jingmo leaned over and looked at her with a smile. âMrs. Shao, itâs rare for you to come out today. Can you give me some face?â
The mention of Mrs. Shao made Qiao Qiaoâs heart beat faster. Flustered, she screwed on her lipstick and placed it several times before putting it in her bag. âI-I-I havenât paid for a man,â she said in a slightly nervous tone.
âHow about I be the first man?â Shao Jingmo asked.
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. âBut 1â¦â
Probably knowing what she was going to say, Shao Jingmo said, âYou donât have to worry about anything else. Iâll tell you when I choose the clothes.
When the time comes, you can just take the black card in the wallet and pay. Thereâs no password.â
She silently swallowed a few times and mustered her courage to take the wallet from Shao Jingmo.
âPut it in your purse,â he said.
Qiao Qiao obediently put her wallet into her ladyâs bag. Shao Jingmo reached out to hold her hand. âLetâs go.â
Qiao Qiao had just put the wallet away when she looked at the outstretched hand in front of her. She hesitated and didnât hand it over.
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. âWhatâs wrong?â
Qiao Qiao looked up at him and whispered, âWithout Grandpa and the others around, you donât have to hold my hand.â
âThere are many people outside. What if I accidentally lose you? I wonât be able to answer to Grandpa when I go back. Itâs better to hold hands.â With that, he didnât give her a chance to hesitate and took her hand to lead her out of the cafeteria.
The feeling of her hand being held tightly made Qiao Qiao feel especially at ease. Her heart was still beating as fast as before. How strange. Why had her heartbeat been abnormal for the past two days?
She obediently followed beside Shao Jingmo, and the two of them quickly entered the inner floor of the mall.
It had been a long time since Qiao Qiao had shopped. When she saw many shops, she wanted to go in and take a look, especially jewelry shops. Beside her, Shao Jingmo could tell what she was thinking. When they passed by a luxury jewelry shop, he took the initiative to ask her, âShall we go in and take a look?â
âNo.â Qiao Qiao shook her head. âl agreed to help you look at your clothes. You havenât even looked at a single one of your clothes. How can I have the cheek to look at what I like first?â
âItâs still early. The menâs clothes are on the upper floor. Letâs see what you like first.â With that, Shao Jingmo held Qiao Qiaoâs hand and walked into the jewelry shop.
This jewelry shop was Bvlgari. As soon as Qiao Qiao entered, she took a fancy to the jewelry from the Monet series and paid directly after trying it on. Seeing that she was about to pay with her own phone, Shao Jingmo reminded her,
âUse my card.â
Qiao Qiao said, âNo need. I have money.â
As soon as she said this, the salesperson looked at Qiao Qiao with admiration. Women in the new era were very handsome when they paid for their own shopping! They didnât have to ask their boyfriends to pay!
However, the salesperson quickly retracted this thought. Because the man beside this lady said, âMrs. Shao, are you feeling sorry for your husbandâs hard work and canât bear to help him spend it?â
Qiao Qiaoâs expression froze.
When the salesperson beside him heard that the two of them were husband and wife, her expression immediately changed. Not a boyfriend? It was a husband! Since he was her husband, she had to spend her husbandâs money! This beautiful wife!
Qiao Qiaoâs ears heated up. She didnât expect Shao Jingmo to directly reveal their relationship. She threw a sentence at him angrily. âDonât worry about me!â
Then she took her phone to the cash register to pay.
Taking advantage of the fact that the lady was very far from the man, the salesperson secretly reminded her, âMadam, heâs your husband. Why donât you use his card? You have to use it! Itâs only right for a husband to spend money on his wife. If you canât bear to spend it, what if someone else is willing to spend it in the future? Iâve been there before. Believe me, itâs definitely not wrong to spend your husbandâs money..â
