A shop assistant quickly came over and said, âThis dress is part of our new collection for the season. It has only arrived recently and flatters the figure.â
She removed the dress from its hanger as she spoke and passed it to Shen Manting. âGo ahead and try it on. Youâll look great in it since you have such a nice figure.â
Shen Manting looked at the dress and felt tempted.
The pink dress made one appear slim and looked appealing.
At a glance, she noticed that the dress came in a small size.
She couldnât imagine herself being able to fit into that dress.
She was used to wearing larger sizes...
She took the dress and entered the fitting room hesitatingly.
Her jaw dropped when she saw the price tag.
She counted the digits.
4,800 yuan.
Shen Mantingâs hands were shaking.
The dress was ridiculously expensive!
If she was still working at her previous job, she could only afford the dress after forgoing meals for an entire month!
Shen Luoâan had already spent 20,000 yuan on infant supplies. If he were to buy the dress for her at this price...
But it was indeed a beautiful dress!
After checking the price, Shen Manting felt an even stronger urge to try the dress.
After all... trying it on cost nothing.
Shen Manting hesitated for a moment and decided to try it on.
She slipped into the dress and zipped it up.
She had tied her hair into a ponytail to make it easier to carry her child, but now her locks had been ruffled into a mess.
In the end, she simply undid her ponytail and let her long, lustrous tresses fall over her shoulders.
She opened the door and walked out. The shop assistant exclaimed, âWow!â She wasnât sure if she meant it.
Shen Luoâan turned around and looked at her when he heard her stepping out of the fitting room.
His eyes lit up as his gaze rested on her figure.
Shen Manting had evidently lost a lot of weight.
Nevertheless, she still had curves in all the right places.
Her waist was slender, her bust was full, and her voluptuous figure was in perfect shape.
With her hair down, she appeared to have regained her former charm.
The effervescent, confident, angelic Shen Manting from the past.
However, he felt sympathetic for the new Shen Manting.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Manting also couldnât believe her eyes when she looked at her own reflection in the mirror.
But... this dress was too expensive...
âWeâll take the dress sheâs wearing. Let her try these on, too.â
Shen Luoâan had chosen a few more garments for her, including skirts, blouses, and trousers.
The shop assistant took the garments from him with a smile and said, âAll right, Iâll pass you new stock from the warehouse. Please wait a moment.â
Shen Manting was disturbed by her conscience. She walked over to Shen Luoâan from behind and tugged lightly at his sleeve. âThe dress costs 5,000 yuan! Itâs too expensive. Letâs go to another shop!â
Shen Luoâan glanced at her and said, âWhat are you fussing over? You donât even need to pay for it.â
Then, he nudged her as he spoke. âIâll be bringing you along on more outings in the future. Are you going to embarrass me with your outmoded outfits?â
His words seemed to have overwhelmed her.
Shen Manting was stunned. Shen Luoâan gave her another nudge before she could come to her senses. âHelp her to change.â
The shop assistant obeyed and responded quickly.
âIâll try them on myself!â Shen Manting took the clothes from the shop assistantâs hands.
Every time she emerged with a new set of clothes, Shen Luoâan simply said, âWeâll take it.â
Shen Manting thought he was out of his mind. She hissed through clenched teeth, âDo you think youâve hit the jackpot?â
âNo,â Shen Luoâan pursed his lips, âbut Iâm still able to afford some clothes.â
âShen Luoâan!â Shen Manting stomped her feet out of frustration. She bit her lip and whispered, âIâll never pay you back!â
That was a huge sum to make up for!
The clothes in this store were particularly expensive. She used to be reluctant to buy anything there.
But now, he was suddenly presenting her with so many outfits. She felt her heart bleeding with guilt.
Although she didnât have to pay a single yuan, he had to spend a considerable fortune on her.
âI donât expect you to pay me back,â Shen Luoâan whispered. âYou gave birth to my child. Do I have to conceive a child to repay you, too?â
