Warm yellow light bathed the entire villa, making the living room bright.

However, the shopping bags scattered all over the floor made it look somewhat crowded and messy.

Jingmin stood tall on the steps with his hands in his pockets, his posture as aloof as an ancient pine tree.

He frowned slightly, looking at the spacious living room so cluttered that there was almost no room to step.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow and said in a somewhat cold tone:

"What did you buy that's so late?"

"Buying so much."

Chu Wuyang seemed not to hear, and walked indifferently to the dining table, picking up the chopsticks from the table.

Sitting elegantly, without even turning her head, her tone was calm and composed:

"What, you're reluctant to spend the money?"

Just then, a cheerful, light laugh drifted from afar.

Jing Min's thin lips curved slightly, his eyes brimming with laughter, and his voice carried a hint of warmth:

"Who can't bear to part with it?"

"Go ahead and use it; I'm afraid you'll spend money faster than I earn it."

As he spoke, he walked steadily to the dining table and sat down. His gaze turned somewhat serious as he looked at Chu Wuyang, his brows furrowing slightly.

"If you had come back any later, I would have sent someone to look for you."

"What's wrong with you! You never answer the phone."

Chu Wuyang was taken aback. He reached into his pocket, picked up the phone, and saw that the screen indeed showed more than 50 missed calls, all from Jing Min.

She looked slightly embarrassed, bit her lower lip lightly, but remained silent, simply putting her phone back.

Jing Min glanced casually at the mountain of shopping bags again, as if asking a casual question:

What did you buy?

When Chu Wuyang heard him ask, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, a mysterious glint flashed in her eyes, and her tone carried a hint of smugness:

"You'll see in a bit."

Jing Min didn't ask any further questions. She simply ladled out a bowl of soup and gently placed it in front of Chu Wuyang.

His eyes held a hint of concern, but his tone remained calm and steady:

"Don't you find it troublesome? You can just call and have something delivered to you. Why bother making the trip yourself?"

Are you tired?

Chu Wuyang slightly pursed her lips, her eyes revealing disapproval.

A faint smile played at the corners of her lips as she silently pondered:

If I hadn't gone out today, how could I have encountered such a "big surprise"?

Of course, this surprise will definitely astound Jingmin in a moment. Thinking of this,

The corners of her mouth turned up even more.

Then, she lowered her head and silently picked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, looking thoughtful.

Seeing this, Jing Min thought that his words had upset Chu Wuyang, and his brows furrowed slightly.

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and she spoke in a softer tone:

"I was just worried about you having a hard time. Wouldn't it be much easier to have it delivered?"

Chu Wuyang simply nodded perfunctorily, without even raising his eyes.

She continued eating, seemingly not in the mood to respond to Jingmin's concern.

After finishing her meal, Chu Wuyang got up and walked towards the mountain of shopping bags.

Seeing this, Jing Min quickly got up, wanting to help Chu Wuyang tidy up.

Chu Wuyang rummaged through the shopping bag and picked up a beautifully packaged box. The ribbon on the box shimmered with a gorgeous luster under the light.

She walked up to Jingmin and handed him the box.

The clothes in this box are the very ones she bought; she had already secretly confirmed them.

Jing Min was somewhat surprised, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, like stars twinkling in them.

He looked at Chu Wuyang with some uncertainty and asked softly:

"For me?"

Chu Wuyang's face showed some impatience, and his eyes darted away.

Not daring to look Jing Min in the eye, she turned her head slightly, gave a soft hum, and nodded nonetheless.
