Qiao Qiao’s mouth was full as she said, “l can’t eat too much either. I’m going on a diet.’
Shao Jingmo asked, ‘Don’t you girls always say that you have to eat your fill to have the strength to lose weight?”
“Not 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.” With that, Qiao Qiao stuffed another piece of beef into her mouth and said with puffed cheeks, “But I’m also the kind of girl you know.”
Shao Jingmo chuckled and reminded her, “Eat slowly. Don’t eat and drink just because you ate a digestive tablet before dinner.”
“Got it.” Qiao Qiao’s cheeks never stopped moving.
After paying the bill, Shao Jingmo returned and handed Qiao Qiao her wallet. “Take it.’
At that moment, Qiao Qiao had just put on her lipstick. When she saw the wallet Shao Jingmo handed her, she blinked in confusion. “Why did you give me the wallet?”
Shao Jingmo said indifferently, “Men are trying on clothes outside, and women are paying. This is an act of giving men face.” At this point, Shao Jingmo leaned over and looked at her with a smile. “Mrs. Shao, it’s rare for you to come out today. Can you give me some face?”
The mention of Mrs. Shao made Qiao Qiao’s heart beat faster. Flustered, she screwed on her lipstick and placed it several times before putting it in her bag. “I-I-I haven’t paid for a man,” she said in a slightly nervous tone.
“How about I be the first man?” Shao Jingmo asked.
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. “But 1…”
Probably knowing what she was going to say, Shao Jingmo said, “You don’t have to worry about anything else. I’ll tell you when I choose the clothes.
When the time comes, you can just take the black card in the wallet and pay. There’s no password.”
She silently swallowed a few times and mustered her courage to take the wallet from Shao Jingmo.
“Put it in your purse,” he said.
Qiao Qiao obediently put her wallet into her lady’s bag. Shao Jingmo reached out to hold her hand. “Let’s go.”
Qiao Qiao had just put the wallet away when she looked at the outstretched hand in front of her. She hesitated and didn’t hand it over.
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”
Qiao Qiao looked up at him and whispered, “Without Grandpa and the others around, you don’t have to hold my hand.”
“There are many people outside. What if I accidentally lose you? I won’t be able to answer to Grandpa when I go back. It’s better to hold hands.” With that, he didn’t 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, “Shall we go in and take a look?”
“No.” Qiao Qiao shook her head. “l agreed to help you look at your clothes. You haven’t even looked at a single one of your clothes. How can I have the cheek to look at what I like first?”
“It’s still early. The men’s clothes are on the upper floor. Let’s see what you like first.” With that, Shao Jingmo held Qiao Qiao’s 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,
“Use my card.”
Qiao Qiao said, “No need. I have money.”
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 didn’t have to ask their boyfriends to pay!
However, the salesperson quickly retracted this thought. Because the man beside this lady said, “Mrs. Shao, are you feeling sorry for your husband’s hard work and can’t bear to help him spend it?”
Qiao Qiao’s 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 husband’s money! This beautiful wife!
Qiao Qiao’s ears heated up. She didn’t expect Shao Jingmo to directly reveal their relationship. She threw a sentence at him angrily. “Don’t worry about me!”
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, “Madam, he’s your husband. Why don’t you use his card? You have to use it! It’s only right for a husband to spend money on his wife. If you can’t bear to spend it, what if someone else is willing to spend it in the future? I’ve been there before. Believe me, it’s definitely not wrong to spend your husband’s money..”
