Lin Jiage shot Xia Shangzhou a strange look as he wondered in his mind, ‘Is there something wrong with that guy? What’s he doing over there instead of going inside?” However, these were the words that came out of his lips instead, “Where’s my sis?”
Xia Shangzhou pointed to the brightly-lit interior and said, “She’s inside.”
Lin Jiage replied with an “Mm” as he entered the residence with Shi Yao and Xia Shangzhou.
They pushed the door open and changed into a set of indoor slippers, but before they could walk past the foyer into the living room, Lin Jiayi’s voice was already calling out, “Is Yaoyao here yet? Yaoyao, hurry up and see what I bought you for your birthday!”
“Coming, Sis Jiayi!” Shi Yao replied before hastening her footsteps. But when she finally saw the spectacle in the living room, she halted.
Lin Jiage shot Shi Yao a questioning look as he glanced over at the living room as well.
Under Lin Jiayi’s instructions, the servants of the Lin Family Residence had displayed everything that she had bought neatly on the ground.
Bags, shoes, clothes, accessories, lipsticks…
What was deeply eccentric about the displayed items was that there were actually many items of the exact same design, with the only difference between them being the color.
The last one to enter, Xia Shangzhou, also saw the sight before him—his eyes widened in shock, and his mouth was agape. He stood dumbfounded for a long while before he leaned toward Lin Jiage and whispered in his ears, “Boss, did your sis move an entire department store into your house?”
But before Lin Jiage could respond to Xia Shangzhou’s remark, the keen-eared Lin Jiayi was already snapping back at him, “Is there a problem with this?”
“O-of course not, Big Sis Lin! I’m just impressed by how your individualism extends to your shopping habits as well!” Without any hesitation, Xia Shangzhou shot Lin Jiayi a thumbs up and complimented her.
Satisfied by Xia Shangzhou’s response, Lin Jiayi generously explained to him, “Well, the truth is that I wasn’t too sure what kind of style our Yaoyao likes at the moment, so I bought every color of everything I found fashionable so that our Yaoyao can pick what she likes best.”
After saying this, Lin Jiayi walked up to Shi Yao and gently held her hands. “Yaoyao, there’s no need to hold back with me. Feel free to pick whatever you like. You don’t have to worry about the rest either; I’ll use them myself.”
So… Did she buy this stuff as a gift to Soft Bun, or is she using it as a reason to shop for herself?
Lin Jiage couldn’t be bothered to expose Lin Jiayi, so he circled around the display of items and took a seat on the sofa. From time to time, his eyes would dart uncontrollably over to look at Shi Yao’s hands, which were still being held by Lin Jiayi.
How long has she been holding her hand for? Isn’t it about time to let go?
“Yaoyao, go ahead and pick out more of them. I bought a little too much this time, so I don’t think that I’ll be able to use them all myself…” After saying this, Lin Jiayi began bringing Shi Yao around the display of items, asking for Shi Yao’s opinion on each of them.
Hah, so you do have some self-awareness after all. You know that you bought too much… Lin Jiage inwardly grumbled as he stared intently at the hand that Lin Jiayi was still firmly holding onto. Thus, he casually dropped a remark, “Don’t you think that you’re making it difficult for her to look through those things by holding her hand like that?”
Lin Jiayi finally released Shi Yao’s hand and said, “I’ll leave you to pick out whatever you like. I’ll go drink some water.”
Shi Yao quickly picked out a few items which she liked before thanking Lin Jiayi.
Lin Jiayi didn’t ask Shi Yao to continue picking a few more items. Instead, she shot a glance at the servants by the side, gesturing them to put those items in her changing room upstairs.
When those items were finally packed up, Shi Yao suddenly recalled something, and she ran out of the residence.
Not too long later, she returned with a bag in one hand and fresh flowers in the other.
