Chapter 13 Taking Her Shopping (Part 2)

Jiang Ning tried on five outfits in a row, but they weren't enough. She didn't have many clothes, so five outfits should have been enough.

I'll buy seasonal clothes when winter comes.

When Jiang Ning changed into the last outfit she had chosen, she realized that many people had been staring at her.

An older woman said:

"What a lovely girl! These clothes look like they were made especially for you!"

"It looks great! It's just a bit too plain. Girl, you should get your hair permed and pick out some jewelry to match. You'll definitely look better than the celebrities on TV!"

Jiang Ning smiled and didn't take those words to heart. She was just there to buy some daily necessities and couldn't afford to be too extravagant.

Jiang Ning didn't take those words to heart, but the man standing at the cashier did.

Jiang Ning finally tried on a red knee-length dress, which clashed with the cloth shoes she was wearing. Someone noticed and told her that there was a shoe store next door.

Jiang Ning nodded and thanked them for their kindness. After changing several outfits, she was too lazy to change again and decided to leave wearing the last one.

It's just that the hairstyle doesn't quite match.

In the real world, Jiang Ning, who spends most of her time in the laboratory, is usually wearing a white lab coat and rarely has time to go shopping.

I used to hear female colleagues in the lab complain that they had to dress up, put on makeup, and style their hair before going out, and that they wouldn't look good if they missed any of these.

Jiang Ning now understands this deeply.

Her gaze fell on a red ribbon next to her, and she picked it up and said to the sales clerk, "I'll buy this too."

Then everyone saw her take the red cloth strip, put it on her head, sweep all her hair to one side, and quickly braid a side ponytail.

After braiding, starting from the beginning, loosen each strand a little. It looks messy, but it has an indescribable chaotic beauty.

Everyone present was amazed to see her quickly create a hairstyle.

When Jiang Ning went to the cashier to pay, she was told that someone had already paid.

For a moment, Jiang Ning was dumbfounded. She remembered that Shen Mo had stayed at the cashier and hadn't gone inside with her.

While Jiang Ning could accept Shen Mo paying for the shared personal items, she felt a little embarrassed to use Shen Mo's money for the clothes she was wearing herself.

Moreover, Shen Mo gave her a lot of money, enough for her to buy clothes.

"Comrade, here's the rest of the money." The sales clerk handed Jiang Ning the change.

Jiang Ning took the money and said, "Oh, thank you."

The sales clerk had lost her initial impatience and was now looking on with envy.

"Comrade, I really envy you. Your husband treats you so well."

The saleswoman is married, but her husband has never gone shopping with her, let alone been so generous as to buy her clothes.

She has to subsidize her household expenses with her own earnings, so it's simply not enough to buy clothes.

Jiang Ning agreed with her; there was no doubt that Shen Mo treated her well.

She even felt it was a bit too good.

Shen Mo doesn't seem stupid. Knowing that they're going to get divorced in the future, he's still treating her so well. Isn't this man afraid that she'll become attached to him?

Speaking of Shen Mo, where is he?

The sales clerk handed the packaged clothes to Jiang Ning. Just as Jiang Ning was about to take them, a hand reached out and grabbed the large bag first.

Shen Mo held the bag of clothes in one hand, then squatted down and opened the two shoe boxes. He placed the shoes next to Jiang Ning's feet and said, "I bought you two pairs of shoes over there. Try them on and see if they fit. If they don't, you can go over there and exchange them."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Jiang Ning's ankle to take off her shoes.

Jiang Ning's mind went blank for a moment: "!"

The sensation from his ankle felt like it was burning all the way up to the top of my head. For some reason, I felt that this man was really good at this!

Yet he did it with an upright expression.

Although the atmosphere of reform and opening up is not as strict now, this kind of public...

Jiang Ning stiffened slightly, then quickly squatted down. "I can do it myself."

Shen Mo nodded slightly and said in a low, cool voice, "Okay."

He stood up.

Jiang Ning took off her cloth shoes; Shen Mo had bought her trendy Mary Jane shoes, which matched her dress perfectly.

Both pairs were different styles of leather shoes. Jiang Ning tried them on and they fit perfectly.

She was a little surprised. How did Shen Mo know her shoe size?

Shen Mo heard someone say that Jiang Ning's shoes and clothes didn't match. Coincidentally, there was a shoe store nearby. He estimated Jiang Ning's shoe size and went directly to the shoe store to tell the sales assistant the shoes and size he wanted to buy.

The sales assistant recommended some shoes, and Shen Mo imagined what Jiang Ning would look like wearing them, so he immediately bought two pairs.

Jiang Ning kicked her shoes and spun around in place. Shopping really does make people feel good.

Shen Mo watched as she twirled around in front of him. The red color made Jiang Ning's skin look porcelain white, and her legs were thin and straight. A belt cinched her waist, highlighting her slender figure. The visual impact was very strong.

Her waist was so thin it was almost impossible for him to break it with just a little force.

Shen Mo looked away.

He squatted down and picked up the pair of shoes that Jiang Ning wasn't wearing.

We've finished buying the clothes, it's about time to head back.

But Shen Mo didn't take Jiang Ning downstairs; instead, he went straight up to the top floor.

The top floor is full of jewelry and skincare products.

Jiang Ning was still wondering why Shen Mo had taken her to the top floor when Shen Mo led her to the counter of the trendy skincare products of this era and gestured to the sales clerk to get her a set of Pechoin and snow cream.

Seeing how readily he bought skincare products, Jiang Ning knew without guessing that he must have come to buy them before.

He's a grown man, so he wouldn't use these things; they're only for girls.

Seeing that he was buying Pechoin and snow cream, and that he had already spent a lot of money today, Jiang Ning quickly stopped him, saying, "You don't need to buy so much, one set is enough."

Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "You girls care the most about whether your skin is good or not. These things are all essential."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Ning knew that Shen Mo had been in contact with other girls before she arrived.

Shen Mo was worried that one set wouldn't be enough, and asked the clerk to get another set, but Jiang Ning stopped him.

Her eyes were cold, and she spoke calmly, "No need, one set is enough."

Jiang Ning's tone was very calm. Shen Mo felt that her emotions were off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

I had no choice but to take a set of skincare products.

Shen Mo always makes his own decisions. Noticing that Jiang Ning's mood was off, he didn't take her directly to the jewelry store. Instead, he asked first, "There are still some jewelry pieces over there. Shall we go take a look?"

Jiang Ning: "I'm not buying it."

These words sound like someone is being defiant.

Jiang Ning quickly realized that something seemed off about her; she had suddenly put herself into the role of Shen Mo's wife.

No woman could remain calm after learning that her husband knows another woman and may even have a significant relationship with her.

But the idea that she will divorce Shen Mo in the future seems a bit too much.

I quickly cleared my mind of thoughts and suppressed my emotions.

She's still penniless and can't afford jewelry. She said, "If I buy any more, I really won't be able to pay it back."

Then she pointed to the bag in Shen Mo's hand, "I'll pay you back the money for these clothes slowly once I find a job."

Before Shen Mo could figure out if she was really angry, he heard her say such distant things.

My floating heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
