In the afternoon, Ni Sitian thought it over and over and decided that she couldn't go to see her in-laws empty-handed, so she begged Xu Tingchuan to accompany her to the mall to buy gifts.

Xu Tingchuan initially felt it was unnecessary to go to such trouble, but seeing how nervous and uneasy she looked, he decided to agree as a way to reassure her.

The two changed their clothes and drove to the mall.

Ni Sitian had no idea how to please her elders, so she could only ask Xu Tingchuan for advice.

Under Xu Tingchuan's guidance, she bought gifts for her parents-in-law and sister-in-law in turn, but was still a little worried: "Won't they be valuable enough? Should we buy something else?"

Xu Tingchuan patted her head helplessly yet affectionately and smiled, "It's already very good. The gift isn't really the point for them; the point is you."

Ni Sitian pursed her lips, thought for a while, looked up at him, and nodded, saying, "What you said makes sense. Should I get my hair done and buy some new clothes to dress up?"

Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly, did not answer, and directly led her into the women's clothing section.

It wasn't because he was meeting her parents and thought she should buy clothes and dress up; he simply wanted her to dress up for him.

He carefully and patiently picked out clothes for her, having the sales assistant bring them over one by one for her to try on.

Although Ni Sitian is not particularly tall, her proportions are excellent, and the clothes Xu Tingchuan chose perfectly accentuated her figure, drawing continuous praise from the sales assistant.

"Miss, your husband has excellent taste; every single item suits you perfectly," the sales assistant said to Ni Sitian with a smile.

Ni Sitian smiled faintly. She agreed with Xu Tingchuan's taste in clothes. However, after trying on so many clothes, which one should she choose?

She turned to look at Xu Tingchuan and asked, "Do they prefer someone more dignified?"

Xu Tingchuan stood up, walked to Ni Sitian's side, handed the card to the sales assistant, and simply said, "That's all from just now."

"Yes, sir." The sales assistant smiled brightly and walked briskly toward the cashier.

Ni Sitian's eyes widened as she tried to stop him, but Xu Tingchuan put his arm around her waist and said softly, "You look beautiful in all of them, I like them all."

“There’s no need to buy so much. This season is short, and winter will come soon.” Ni Sitian felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but she still couldn’t help complaining about his wastefulness.

“Then wear one every day, just so I can look at you.” Xu Tingchuan stroked her hair and whispered with a chuckle in her ear, “Of course, you’ll look even better when you’re not wearing one.”

Ni Sitian's face flushed instantly, and she playfully punched him in embarrassment.

Xu Tingchuan grabbed her little pink fist, held it in his palm, and stole a kiss on her cheek.

Ni Sitian's face turned even redder. She subconsciously looked around and saw the sales assistant staring at them. So embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground, she quickly left the store.

Xu Tingchuan chuckled as he watched her flee in disarray, then went to the counter to retrieve his card and clothes.

As soon as Ni Sitian stepped out of the store, she didn't pay attention to what was in front of her and bumped into someone.

She instinctively apologized first, then looked up and saw that the other person was a short, neat, androgynous beauty.

"I'm sorry," she apologized to her again.

But the beautiful woman laughed heartily, shook her head, and walked past her toward the elevator.

Xu Tingchuan came out carrying a bag and saw Ni Sitian standing in a daze in front of the store, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ni Sitian looked away and shook her head slightly: "It's nothing."

Xu Tingchuan ruffled her hair, took her hand, and led her toward the escalator.
