Chapter 68 Chapter 68

"Uncle, where are we going next?"

Chen Zhaoyue raised her little face, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, casting tiny spots of light on her face.

Wen Yanxi's palm was broad and warm, just enough to wrap around her hand completely. The thin calluses on his fingertips caressed her delicate skin, bringing a tingling sensation.

Wen Yanxi paused slightly, and when he lowered his eyes to look at her, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed: "Let's go to the photo studio first."

He still remembered what Shen Zhaoyue had said at the Civil Affairs Bureau just now.

"Okay!" Chen Zhaoyue's eyes lit up. She was naturally happy to be able to leave a visual memory in this era.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea: "It's still early, why don't we go buy some clothes first?"

She lowered her head and tugged at the floral shirt on her body. Shen Qingqing's aesthetic taste was really not to be praised!

This kind of clothes has no shape, but it has a lot of colors, and it all depends on this face to hold it up.

And this one is the best-looking one she could choose.

Look at Wen Yanxi again. Apart from his military uniform, he only wears black or white casual clothes. Although it makes him look as tall and straight as a pine tree, it lacks the festive feeling of a newlywed.

"Okay!" Wen Yanxi agreed decisively.

He remembered that Chen Zhaoyue came with only a small suitcase, so he really needed to add some clothes.

Chen Zhaoyue smiled brightly upon hearing this, and like a happy little bird, she took his arm and said, "I want to pick out a red one for my uncle!"

She teased him on purpose, and sure enough, she saw Wen Yanxi's ears turn red again.

Chen Zhaoyue pursed her lips and smiled secretly. While they were talking, they had already arrived at the department store.

The salesperson in the women's clothing area was a young girl with pigtails. Seeing Chen Zhaoyue's fair skin and beautiful appearance, she immediately came forward to greet her enthusiastically.

"Comrade, these are new models from Shanghai. They will look good on you!" She deftly took off a few fashionable dresses and tried them on Shen Zhaoyue.

Shanghai Stock Exchange?

Chen Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow. She didn't expect that after traveling through time, she would have a strong connection with this city.

"Try it on." Wen Yanxi said as he glanced at the clothes.

Although he didn't understand these, he felt that it would definitely look good on Shen Zhaoyue.

"Okay, can I try it here?" Chen Zhaoyue picked out a set of clothes.

"Of course, comrade, follow me!" The salesperson smiled and enthusiastically led Shen Zhaoyue to the fitting room.

When passing by a dressing mirror, Chen Zhaoyue inadvertently saw Wen Yanxi's eyes following her.

The curtain of the fitting room was gently drawn, and Wen Yanxi sat upright on the bench outside the door.

He listened to the rustling sound of people changing clothes inside, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

The cries of street vendors could be heard outside the window, but they could not drown out the rapid beating of his heart.

After a while, Chen Zhaoyue opened the curtain again.

Chen Zhaoyue tried on a light blue dress. The light skirt swayed slightly with her steps, and the perfect waist design made her slender waist look more delicate and graceful.

"Uncle, does it look good?" Seeing Yanxi staring at her with burning eyes, Chen Zhaoyue deliberately turned around in front of him.

The hem of her skirt suddenly spread out like petals, and the light blue fabric drew a graceful arc in the air, making her look like a bluebell bud, fresh and lively.

Wen Yanxi's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

He opened his mouth, but found that his throat was too dry to make a sound.

"Uncle?" Chen Zhaoyue stared at her and blinked.

"Very..." Wen Yanxi's voice was hoarse, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the edge of the bench: "Very beautiful."

The salesperson was smiling secretly with her lips pursed and her eyes curved into crescents.

This comrade's eyes were fixed on me, and his love was clearly written on his face, but he still had to pretend to be calm, and his ears were so red that blood could drip out.

"Comrade, you're so beautiful, you look good in anything!" the salesperson complimented sincerely, picking up another style on the hanger. "Why don't you try something else? There are more new styles coming from Shanghai!"

Chen Zhaoyue nodded, winked at Wen Yanxi, and went into the fitting room again with the clothes in her arms.

The moment the curtain was drawn, she heard Wen Yanxi cough lightly, as if he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Shen Zhaoyue changed into several more sets.

Every time he changed into a new set, Wen Yanxi's eyes became deeper and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

Finally, when Chen Zhaoyue walked out in a knee-length red dress, the entire clothing area seemed to light up.

The bright red color makes her skin look whiter than snow. The hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, revealing a pair of calves as smooth and slender as jade, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Wen Yanxi's breathing obviously stagnated. He stood up subconsciously and stared at her with burning eyes, as if he had been bewitched.

The hands that had been holding guns for years now seemed to have no idea where to put them, and their fingertips were trembling slightly.

"Uncle, which one do you think I should buy?" Chen Zhaoyue tilted her head, her red dress making her skin look like cream, her eyes filled with smiles.

Wen Yanxi's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was low and firm: "Buy them all!"

He couldn't make a decision at all. He just felt that every piece of clothing looked so good on her that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

The salesperson next to him was already smiling. He didn't expect to meet such a generous customer today.

She came forward attentively and said, "Comrade, we have new models from other big cities!"

As he spoke, he was about to take other styles from the hangers, wishing he could let Shen Zhaoyue try on all the clothes in the store.

Chen Zhaoyue waved her hands quickly: "No, no, these are enough."

Chen Zhaoyue also carefully picked out a dark red shirt for Wen Yanxi, which matched her red skirt perfectly.

Wen Yanxi stood in front of the counter and was about to pay, but his hand suddenly froze when it reached into his pocket.

A rare trace of embarrassment flashed across his stern face - he had already given all his salary to Chen Zhaoyue for safekeeping, and now his pockets were empty!

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhaoyue noticed his abnormality and asked with his head tilted.

When she saw Wen Yanxi's rare embarrassed expression, she suddenly realized something and a sly smile flashed in her eyes.

"I..." Wen Yanxi's ears turned red and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Chen Zhaoyue couldn't help laughing and took out her wallet from her small bag: "I'll pay!"

The salesperson took the money and his eyes moved between the two of them. When they finally landed on Wen Yanxi, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

She curled her lips and thought to herself: He looks decent, but he actually wants his wife to pay for clothes herself. He is not a man at all!

Wen Yanxi: "..."

He wasn't one to explain, so he just silently picked up the bag of clothes.

Chen Zhaoyue suppressed her laughter, deliberately took Wen Yanxi's arm, and said in a sweet voice: "Thank you, husband, for buying me clothes~"

She deliberately pronounced the word "husband" in a sweet and sticky tone, causing Wen Yanxi's handsome face to blush.

The salesperson's expression suddenly became wonderful, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was open enough to fit an egg.
