Shen Xi was still in her office, sighing and feeling restless, when, all of a sudden, a whirlwind of energy burst in.
Shen Qian, carrying her purse, grabbed Shen Xi and exclaimed, “Come on, Xi. Auntie is taking you out for some fun.”
Shen Yan felt that he had been a bit too harsh in his tone with Shen Xi, fearing that she might be in a bad mood. So, he decided to call his sister to take Shen Xi out for a change of scenery.
“Auntie, I’m at work,” Shen Xi reluctantly said as she held onto Shen Qian.
“It’s our own company, don’t worry. They won’t deduct your salary. Hurry, let’s go shopping first, then have some delicious food, and finally get your hair done. Girls need to look a little more refined,” Shen Qian said with a smile.
Shen Qian then grabbed Shen Xi’s hand and swiftly took her bag, leading her towards the door.
Shen Xi could only follow her beloved aunt to the mall, and under Shen Qian’s guidance, she ended up with extremely bright pink hair.
Shen Xi looked at herself in the mirror and felt her heart sink. She looked at Shen Qian and said, “Auntie, is this the ‘absolutely beautiful’ color you mentioned?”
With her round eyes, Shen Qian looked at Shen Xi with certainty. “Of course, it’s pink. Which girl doesn’t like this lovely color? Oh, my Xi, you look absolutely stunning.”
Shen Xi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. This pink hair was probably going to haunt her for a long time.
Shen Xi, still clutching her pink hair, managed to slip out of the store discreetly before she was led to a colorful and vibrant clothing store by Shen Qian.
“Auntie, you’re not planning to make me wear these, are you?” Shen Xi asked in disbelief.
Were they going for a cosplay style?
“All the young girls love this nowadays,” Shen Qian said with a look that implied, ‘You’re out of touch.”
Shen Xi turned to leave but was stopped by Shen Qian. With a wave of her hand, Shen Qian said to the sales assistant, “I’ll take all of these in this row.
Wrap them up according to my niece’s size.”
The sales assistant, looking like they’d hit the jackpot, eagerly said, “Of course, ma’am. Please, miss, try on the sizes first.”
Shen Xi desperately wanted to escape, but in the end, she was pushed into the dressing room by Shen Qian. She resigned herself to changing into the clothes from the Magical Girl series.
When Shen Xi emerged, Shen Qian’s eyes instantly lit up.
Shen Xi looked like a fairy, and her aunt, who had no daughter of her own, could not help but shed wistful tears.
Shen Qian generously said, “I’ll take these two rows too. Deliver them to this address.’
Several sales assistants quickly packaged the new clothes for Shen Qian, each of them sporting a big smile as if they’d just struck gold.
Shen Xi could not stop her aunt from wanting to splurge. She turned to go back to the fitting room to change back into her original clothes, but Shen Qian stopped her. “Xi, don’t change. You look so good in this outfit.”
“Auntie,” Shen Xi said with a furrowed brow, “I’m in my twenties now. This outfit doesn’t suit me.’
But the nearby sales assistant chimed in, “No, really, you look amazing. Many girls in their thirties wear our clothes.”
Shen Qian beamed and said, “See, even the sales assistant agrees.”
“Auntie…” Shen Xi still wanted to salvage her dignity.
However, Shen Qian, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly changed her expression and said with a pitiful tone, “Xi, you know, Auntie always longed for a daughter, and my dream was to dress her up just like this. But fate hasn’t been kind to me, and I never had a daughter. Xi, please, think of it as a small favor for your Auntie.”
Shen Xi looked at her pitiful aunt and finally sighed and relented. Her aunt knew just how to pull her heartstrings.
“Auntie, I want to go put on some makeup,” Shen Xi said as they left the clothing store.
It was only 6 p.m., and Shen Xi figured she would have to accompany her aunt for a while longer. She needed to look different so she could deny this adventure later.
Shen Qian nodded approvingly and said, “You’re right. It’s time for a more suitable makeup look. Your current one is too plain. Come with Auntie.” Shen Xi, in her attention-grabbing outfit, covered her face and left the clothing store..
