Chapter 489 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 41

Jiang Zhiyi is extremely anxious and has no idea what to do.

Not long after, she calmed herself down and forced herself to walk out of the fitting room.

Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin each held an ice cream in their hands, happily eating it, unaware that there was white cream stuck to the corners of their mouths. Their eyes were squinted into slits, and they had a satisfied look on their faces.

Ye Jingming sat quietly on the chair next to him, not looking at his phone, but focusing on watching the two children.

The mall was crowded with people coming and going, and Ye Jingming was indeed worried and dared not be distracted by playing on his phone.

If gold and silver were to accidentally run away and something happened, no one could bear the consequences.

"Did you finish testing?" Ye Jingming, with his sharp eyes, saw Jiang Zhiyi come out and immediately stood up to ask.

"I tried it, but it makes me look a bit chubby, so I'm not planning on having it." Jiang Zhiyi shook her head.

The dress was indeed quite pretty, with a novel design and a color that suited her. However, the waist area was a little loose, making her look somewhat bulky, which successfully dissuaded her from buying it.

“Let’s look at other things and take our time. If they get hungry later, we can grab a bite to eat and continue in the afternoon…” Ye Jingming’s tone was relaxed and gentle. “Anyway, we’re driving ourselves today, so we don’t have to worry about it getting too late to get back. You can shop until whatever time you want.”

Jiang Zhiyi nodded, still pondering what to do.

She subconsciously bit her lip, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

Suddenly, an idea came to me.

After a while, Jiang Zhiyi pretended to take out her phone and glance at it, then looked up at Ye Jingming with a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "An old classmate of mine just asked me to have dinner with him later. We haven't seen each other for several years, and it's such a rare opportunity to run into each other, so I really can't refuse..."

She paused, glancing furtively at Ye Jingming's reaction, before continuing, "Thank you so much for your help today. Could you please help me take Jinjin and Yinyin home? My parents will be home this afternoon, so I can take care of them. I might have to stay in town today and go back tomorrow."

Ye Jingming asked, "Where is she now? If it's convenient, we can go together. I'll treat you to dinner."

Jiang Zhiyi's mind raced. She casually pointed ahead and said, "She said she's at the baby store upstairs right now, breastfeeding her baby, and wants me to go up and help her pick out some underwear..."

To get him away, Jiang Zhiyi didn't care about anything else and made up all sorts of outrageous excuses.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ye Jingming's face. He turned his head slightly, coughed lightly, and said, "Alright, then I'll take them back."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

...

Afterwards, Jiang Zhiyi strolled around the mall while waiting for Lu Jingxun.

About half an hour later, Lu Jingxun arrived.

He walked steadily, his eyes quickly searching through the crowd, and soon locked onto Jiang Zhiyi.

Seeing her standing there alone, Lu Jingxun raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where are your younger brother and sister?"

Jiang Zhiyi blinked and said innocently, "I just ran into a relative at the mall. He happened to be driving here. I thought it would be convenient, so I asked him to take Jinjin and Yinyin home first. Now the two of us can be alone for a while."

She smiled sweetly, trying to make her story sound more believable.

Lu Jingxun looked at her and suddenly laughed a few times.

But to Jiang Zhiyi, that laughter sounded strangely eerie, as if it had seen through her little scheme but was deliberately not pointing it out.

Jiang Zhiyi pretended to be calm and walked over quickly, affectionately taking Lu Jingxun's arm and saying in a coquettish tone, "Please pick out some clothes for me."

Now that he's here, judging from his usual style, he'll most likely pay for it later, as it's his duty as a boyfriend.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiyi instantly perked up and dragged Lu Jingxun to many high-end stores, where they looked at clothes that were very expensive.

Since it's free, of course I'll buy a few more.

Seeing her excited and happy appearance, Lu Jingxun didn't say anything, and just quietly accompanied her as she shopped from store to store.

It was indeed incredibly boring; accompanying a woman to buy clothes was such a hassle.

After trying on several outfits, Jiang Zhiyi came out of the fitting room and saw Lu Jingxun leaning against the sofa, patiently waiting. She then prepared to pick out an outfit for him as well.

She went to the men's clothing section and picked out a simple shirt for him.

Lu Jingxun glanced at the shirt, his brows furrowing slightly.

Given his usual style of dress and his standards for quality, this shirt simply didn't meet his expectations; it was too ordinary and too cheap.

But seeing Jiang Zhiyi's pleading eyes, he swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded gently.

It doesn't matter. If she doesn't like it, she can just take it back and not wear it. There's no need to spoil her mood.

Jiang Zhiyi said with a smile, "I knew you would like it."

The two strolled around the mall for a while longer, and after buying everything, Lu Jingxun took her to a restaurant for dinner.

It's a Western restaurant located on the top floor of a shopping mall. The environment is quite nice, with elegant and refined decor and a quiet atmosphere.

The waiter greeted them warmly and led them to a window seat.

Jiang Zhiyi had never eaten there before, so she ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes. After she made her selections, Lu Jingxun glanced at the menu and, finding nothing particularly special, simply added a few more dishes.

While waiting for the food to be served, Lu Jingxun went to the restroom, and Jiang Zhiyi took out her phone to take a picture of herself.

The lighting here is great, and the photos taken here are all beautiful.

Suddenly, a WeChat friend request popped up.

Like Lu Jingxun before, his profile picture is a dark image without any patterns, and his name is just a few simple letter abbreviations.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiyi couldn't help but pout again.

When Lu Jingxun confessed his feelings, he said such sweet words, promising to change his profile picture and post on his WeChat Moments, but in reality, he was not that obedient at all.

She pleaded and begged him for a long time before he agreed to change his profile picture to a couple's picture; she was a little girl in a flower garden, and he was a big yellow dog squatting beside her.

As for the nickname, he only reluctantly changed it to "the cutest baby's baby" under my coercion, and his attitude was not good at all.

She hesitated for a moment, then tapped the screen and accepted the friend request.

Almost instantly, a line of text appeared clearly on the screen: 【You have added LYL. You can start chatting now.】
