Chapter 176: Even More Childish Than Her 1
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I haven’t had breakfast. I’m starving.” He was almost driving Changqing mad too.
“I’ll buy some for you on the way later.” Song Chuyi was raging and drove faster than usual.
Changqing was really a little afraid and quickly buckled her seatbelt, holding on to the overhead handle.
When they passed by a breakfast shop, he locked the car door and went straight to buy a cup of soy milk and some bread for her.
Changqing accepted it while aggrieved and couldn’t help but complain. “I have such a rare morning off today and could actually be having a sumptuous breakfast made by Auntie Zhang at home, but I had to come out to eat this.”
Song Chuyi gripped the steering wheel tightly. She was simply driving him to his grave.
Must he even take her to a five-star hotel to just have breakfast? It wasn’t that he wasn’t willing to, but wasn’t buying clothes the more important thing right now?
When they had arrived at the most expensive shopping mall in Northern City, Song Chuyi simply dragged her out. Changqing was still wearing slippers and pyjamas and was treated like a weirdo by others. Luckily, there weren’t many people in this kind of expensive mall and on top of that, it wasn’t the weekend. She lowered her head.
Song Chuyi pulled her into an international brand store and when the sales assistant saw the two, she was shocked but still said with a smile, “Welcome.”
“Choose a few sets of clothes for her. I want the most expensive ones.” Song Chuyi placed extra emphasis on the last few words.
The sales assistant blinked. Their business was usually slowest in the morning. Now, such a generous customer had arrived, and she was a little dazed. “How many sets are a few sets?”
“Anything. Five or six, ten or even twenty works,” Song Chuyi said in a low tone as he took a few glances at the shop, a few hundred square feet in size.
Changqing herself was in a daze. If this was in the past, she would’ve felt that Song Chuchu was mesmerizing, but right now, he wasn’t. She tugged at his sleeve and said softly, “I take back what I said, will that do? Don’t waste money in a fit of anger; this is an unnecessary waste.”
“I have money and today, I just wanted to waste money.” Song Chuyi loosened her grip and pushed her toward the sales assistant.
Upon seeing that, the eyes of the sales assistants lit up as they all descended upon them, crowding around Changqing. It was the first time Changqing had ever seen such a situation and was flustered. “No need, no need, there really is no need.”
“Aiya, you must be Host Yan. Many television hosts in Northern City come here to shop. Relax, we will definitely keep everything confidential and not leak anything out,” the shop manager said with a smile as she beckoned the sales assistants.
Afterwards, Changqing was pushed into the changing room like floodwater.
Set after set of clothes was brought over and the service assistants helped her change into them.
At first, they would let Song Chuyi take a look after changing, but afterwards, Changqing was basically so tired that she allowed them to do whatever they wanted, like a robot.
“Sir, take a look at this set of clothes on Miss Yan—it looks as though it was custom-made just for her.”
“Mm, get it.”
“Sir, this skirt makes Miss Yan look exceptionally lively and cute.”
“Get it.”
“Sir, this pair of shoes on Miss Yan…”
“Get it.”
“Sir…”
“Get it.”
“S…”
“Get it.”
“Enough, enough.” Changqing felt that if this went on anymore, all the clothes in this shop would be bought. “It’s already enough.”
Song Chuyi lowered his brows and looked at the pile of clothes that were waiting to be bought and nodded his head thoughtfully. “True, let’s change stores and buy some more. How much is it? I’ll pay by card.”
“Alright, alright.” The shop manager had calculated the price, piece by piece, long ago. “Mr. Song, from today onwards, you will be our VIP customer and you’ll be able to get a 10% discount. You’re really the most generous boss I’ve seen. Please fill in your address and we will deliver the things to your doorstep.”
Upon hearing that, Song Chuyi raised his brows as he looked at Changqing beside him.
Telling her with his eyes: Did you see that? She said I’m very generous.
Changqing rolled her eyes speechlessly. It was the first time she discovered that Song Chuchu was simply even more childish than her.
After leaving that shop, Song Chuyi brought her downstairs to the jewellery shop.
This time, Changqing tried with all her might to stop him at the elevator lobby. “I admit that you’re generous. Will that do? Stop shopping.”
Song Chuyi laughed coldly. “Are you really admitting that I’m generous or are you pretending to go along with me? Are you still being afraid that if we got a divorce I’d force you to return all the money and you cannot afford it?”
Changqing sighed. “You even said that I splurge. No matter how I splurge, I don’t waste money like you. I only buy what I like and what I want. You’re just simply buying anything. You’re also a doctor. To put it plainly, the money you overspend would still come from the Song Family. What’s the point? If word gets to your Dad’s ears, it’d still be okay. If your brother found out, he would think that I’m a vixen who charmed you again. I apologize for the things I said about you before. Won’t that do?”
Song Chuyi stared at her for a while and squinted. “You really don’t think I’m petty now?”
“You’re not petty; you’re very generous. You’re simply the most generous person I’ve ever seen. Okay? Can we go back?” Changqing turned around after saying that.
Song Chuyi recalled her expression just now and suddenly felt like he was cajoled by her.
To think that one day, he would reduce to being cajoled by this cute and stupid woman. Song Chuyi held his forehead. He really felt that his IQ had logged off because of her today.
He went up and pulled her back, saying, “Since we’re already here, let’s shop a little more.”
“I don’t want to shop,” Changqing said with frustration.
“Are you shopping or not?” Song Chuyi squinted his eyes, exuding a dangerous glow.
Preposterous. He was rarely in the mood to ask her out to shop, yet she actually didn’t give him any face. “If you’re not shopping then don’t blame me for being rude.”
“You… how are you going to be rude?” Changqing was also someone who feared the strong. Just now, Song Chuyi sounded ruthless and seeing the familiar sense of danger glimmering in his eyes now, she was a little frightened again.
“I’ll go home and feed you sausage.” Song Chuyi pinched her face hard.
“Gangster. So disgusting.” Changqing punched him with a flushed face.
“Let’s go.” Song Chuyi pulled her into his embrace and coaxed her softly: “I admit, I was in the wrong the night before. I have to admit that compared to your family, my family lacks too many elements of happiness. There are too many people around me and my family who want to get something out of me or my family members. Sometimes… I might’ve thought of people too badly. I apologize to you.”
The wound within Changqing’s heart which had been pricked was finally recovering slowly.
She could tell when he was apologizing seriously without any suspicion.
She also wasn’t going to hold onto her grudges and quarrel with him for long.
And she wouldn’t get a divorce with him just because of this small matter.
Therefore, she could only choose to forget. That way, she could live more happily.
“Mm, I know.” Changqing lowered her head to look at her toes. “I also understand what you said. I indeed splurge too much. You did nothing wrong. In the future, do what must be done.”
She had thought it through. She would be working too anyway and she could buy whatever she wanted too. She didn’t have to depend on a man.
Depending on a man could become an addiction.
Hearing that, Song Chuyi’s frown eased up. However, it quickly reappeared.
These words that came out from her mouth didn’t seem real.
He would prefer she say self-righteously that she was spending his money because there was no one to help him spend the money that he had earned and putting the money in the bank was risky too. No one could tell when it might just disappear one day.
She always had many hilarious excuses that would make one feel helpless.
Now, he actually felt that it was best if she didn’t change.
“You should still stay the same as you were,” he said. His voice was very clear. “Money put in the bank is just a decoration. It has to be spent too.”
Changqing felt a little overwhelmed. She raised her head slowly and looked into his eyes. Was this still the Song Chuchu from before?
“What are you looking at?” Song Chuyi pushed her face away.
“Nothing.” Changqing nodded.
There was no more conversation to be heard.
Now, she believed that Song Chuyi wasn’t petty. However, Yan Lei used to tell her that sometimes, one shouldn’t really take someone’s words to be true. Perhaps the other party was just trying to be polite.
She was indeed too unrestrained in the past. In the future, she should take more notice.
“Let’s go; I’ll get you a ring.” In the end, Song Chuyi still held her hands and walked into a jewellery shop.
“Sir, are you getting a ring for your wife?” The staff asked with a smile, “What style do you prefer?”
Song Chuyi didn’t speak, only watching Changqing.
Changqing blinked and looked around.
They’d cleared the air just now. If she refused to shop again, he would definitely think she had a grudge against him. She looked left and right, and finally chose a diamond ring of around four carats.
This was considered relatively small for a diamond ring.
Song Chuyi frowned when he saw it. “Get a bigger one.”
“No need, I like delicate ones. Don’t you think I look nice with delicate ones?” Changqing raised her snow-white hand and showed him.
Song Chuyi looked at that hand and felt something was off. “If you like it… then we’ll get it.”
When they walked out of the jewellery shop, Song Chuyi had one hand in his pocket and didn’t say they were going back, only holding her hand to walk around the shopping mall. When he saw a lingerie shop, he pulled her in.
“I don’t want to get lingerie; I have a lot at home,” Changqing said quickly while tugging at his hand as she saw the sexy, pink underwear.
“I know. I want to get some underwear for myself.” Song Chuyi looked sideways at her and walked straight to the men’s underwear section.
Facing rows of various kinds of men’s underwear, Changqing’s cheeks blushed secretly. She had never seen so many pairs of men’s underwear that it made her face red and heartbeat quicken.
“Sir, what kind of underwear do you want to get? Boxers or briefs?” A female sales assistant picked up two different kinds of underwear casually and said, “This is the latest style and is made of pure silk. The fabric contains 100% silk from silkworms and it has antibacterial properties. Another kind is the modal comfort and breathable kind. It’s very comfortable in this kind of weather.”
Song Chuyi looked left and right and asked Changqing, “Which kind do you prefer?”
Changqing’s eyes went wide as she stuttered, “You… you’re the one wearing it. Why are you asking me?”
“Usually you’re the only one looking at it so of course I have to ask your opinion. I mainly wear them for you to see.” Song Chuyi’s thin, sexy lips curled into a smile as he asked her matter-of-factly.
Changqing’s face was now red from inside to outside like a peach, especially when she saw the female sales assistant lowering her head and laughing secretly. She just wanted to disappear into a crack in the floor.
“So… whichever style I say is nice, you’re going to wear it?” Changqing took in a deep breath and pointed at a super-thin, blue male boxer and said, “I like this kind.”
Song Chuyi’s face suddenly darkened. This style of men’s underwear was completely transparent on both sides and there was only a tiger baring its teeth and brandishing its claws right at the middle. The main point was that the blue was very gaudy.
He paused for a while and said queerly, “I couldn’t tell that you’re so intense.”
“Don’t you mind me,” Changqing said with a face that was so hot it was going to explode.
Just then, the sales assistant at the side said with a smile, “Actually, this style of men’s underwear is a new model that our shop has recently stocked up on. It’s extremely popular overseas. Sir, how many pieces do you want to get?”
“… Since my wife likes it, I’ll have to buy it,” Song Chuyi said in a deep and hoarse voice as he squinted his eyes.
Changqing was stupefied. He was really going to buy such an intense pair of underwear.
However, why was the image she imagined not so funny but more of one that made her face blush and heartbeat quicken?
AHAHAH. She couldn’t think about it any further. Song Chuchu’s center part had become a tiger.
“What are you thinking about?” Song Chuyi asked softly.
“Nothing.” Changqing quickly turned her face away.
Song Chuyi watched her embarrassed look and felt an intense fire burning in his heart to want to bring her home and settle her once and for all.
“Sir, which style do you want? Do you only want one?” the staff asked.
“This, this, this.” Song Chuyi chose six in a go.
When they came out after settling the bill, he said to Changqing, “Do you remember my size? Next time when you shop, help me get some. I don’t like to wear my underwear too many times.”
