Chapter 118 is bright red and very eye-catching.
Wenxi: "I used to be too busy with work to choose clothes, so I would buy clothes for the whole season at once."
"I usually buy jewelry and bags once a year, which is convenient."
Shang Mu gave Wen Xi a thumbs up, "No wonder your sister-in-law is so successful."
Wenxi hesitated for a moment, "I still feel that five sets are not enough."
If it weren't for the fact that it would be too much trouble to carry them back, she would have chosen a few more sets.
"Sister-in-law, these five sets are enough for now." Shang Mu tried her best to benefit her brother. "If you want to buy more later, you can bring my brother along. He'll be thrilled."
Wenxi felt that Shang Chen's younger siblings were all quite lively, which was a stark contrast to him.
Wenxi thought Shang Mu was exaggerating, "Even if your brother is secretly thrilled, he won't show it on his face at all."
"It's okay, I'll make him show it on his face from now on."
"What?"
Shang Mu coughed lightly and quickly added, "What I mean is, I'll subtly remind him for you in the future."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "He can listen?"
Shang Mu replied earnestly, "Yes!"
Even his brother is so humble as to ask her for advice on how to appease his wife, so he's bound to listen to her, his strategist.
As Wenxi was about to pay, SA smiled and said, "I just heard it's Ms. Wen's husband's birthday. Since our store is having a promotion, we can give you a few small gifts."
Wenxi casually asked, "What kind of small gift?"
"Underwear and socks," SA asked with a smile. "Ms. Wen, what size does your husband wear?"
Wen Xi glanced at Shang Mu subconsciously, then quickly looked away.
Luckily, I didn't say anything.
If she were to actually ask Shang Chen his underwear size, the scene would be incredibly awkward.
Seeing Wenxi hesitate, SA kindly asked, "How tall and how much does your husband weigh?"
Wen Xi: "His height should be around 1.9 meters, and his weight..."
She had never weighed Shang Chen, so how would she know his weight?
I should have gotten Shang Chen's resume first before buying clothes.
Wen Xi readily replied, "How many items will you send?"
Four items.
"Then take two of the largest size and two of the larger size."
After the waiter helped pack the clothes and put them in the car, Wenxi suddenly realized something.
“Your brother is home now. If I take the clothes back, he might see them.”
It's Shang Shen's birthday tomorrow. If I let him see the gift beforehand, there won't be any surprise.
Shang Mu said decisively, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll find a way to get him out of the house."
Wenxi: "?"
Before Wenxi could speak, Shang Mu had already sent a voice message to Shang Chen.
"Brother, Mom wants you to come home. She says she has something to tell you."
"Hurry up!"
Wenxi: "..."
It seems normal, but something seems off?
Wenxi: "Mumu, can you cook noodles?"
"I know how, I was taught in school before." Shang Mu looked at Wen Xi and said with a sheepish smile, "But I'm not very good at it."
Wenxi wanted to make a bowl of longevity noodles for Shang Chen, so she dragged Shang Mu home.
“The housekeeper isn’t here, and your brother has gone back to the old house, so you can take this opportunity to teach me.”
Shang Mu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, cooking noodles is very simple. You can actually learn it by watching a video."
Wenxi was silent for a moment, then truthfully replied, "I'm clumsy."
Wenxi had tried cooking before, but only white porridge and vegetable sandwiches suited her best.
Shang Mu comforted her, "It's alright, sister-in-law, you don't need to make it too complicated. Just cook some noodles and add an egg."
Wenxi suggested, "We can fry a heart-shaped sunny-side-up egg."
Shang Mu thought Wen Xi was going to practice her egg-frying skills, and after only a few seconds of envying her brother, he saw Wen Xi take out a heart-shaped egg-frying pan from the cupboard.
Shang Mu remained silent for a long time before saying, "Sister-in-law, you and my brother are a perfect match."
They are all decent people.
Absolutely no moisture added.
Wen Xi looked at Shang Mu in confusion: "What?"
She just found a pot, how did that make her a good match for Shang Chen?
Wenxi stared at the pot, and thought about her conversation with Shang Chen that morning.
Wenxi suppressed the slight embarrassment and calmly said, "There's not enough time to practice."
Shang Mu nodded: "I understand, I understand!"
Shang Mu even proactively helped Wenxi find videos on how to fry eggs and cook noodles.
While studying in Wenxi, Shang Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Sister-in-law, shall I take a video of you?"
Wenxi: "?"
Shang Mu, without changing his expression, lied: "This way we can film the whole process of you cooking noodles. If it fails, we can go back and find out where the problem was."
Wen Xi's cool gaze swept across Shang Mu's face, and she vaguely guessed something.
She didn't refuse: "Okay."
Shang Mu happily took out her phone to record a video for Wen Xi: "Sister-in-law, I will definitely make you look beautiful in the video!"
When her brother receives his birthday present tonight, she'll send him the video. He'll be thrilled!
Shang Mu gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness!
Wenxi tried three times before finally managing to cook a bowl of noodles that looked decent.
Holding the video, Shang Mu always felt a sense of guilt, like he was doing something wrong.
After seeing the finished product made by Wenxi, he immediately fled the store.
Her excuse for leaving was quite legitimate: "My brother will definitely overthink things if he sees me when he gets back, so I won't keep you from preparing a surprise for him!"
Wenxi gave Shang Mu a basket of rose petals that Zhou Ruo had given her and personally saw her out.
By the time Shang Chen returned, it was almost lunchtime.
Wenxi was just about to put away the gift she had bought for him.
While tidying her clothes, Wenxi took out the free gift and glanced at it.
Upon seeing the four pairs of bright red underwear, they fell silent.
The color of this free gift is a bit too bright.
Wenxi felt that giving this color to Shang Chen seemed a bit inappropriate.
It's one thing if the temperament doesn't match, but I'm afraid Shang Chen will overthink it and might even misunderstand it as her taste.
Put yourself in her shoes, how would she feel if Shang Chen gave her four sets of bright red underwear?
If we can't send it, then we might as well destroy the evidence.
Wenxi was holding four boxes of packaged underwear, about to find a bag to put them in.
She had only taken two steps when she saw Shang Chen push open the door and enter.
Wen Xi was taken aback at first, then calmly asked, "You're back?"
Holding the newly printed resume in his hand, Shang Chen said without changing his expression, "Yes, I just went back to the old house."
He was figuring out how to get Wenxi to notice his birth date on his resume.
Wenxi asked knowingly, "Is there something wrong at the old house?"
Shang Chen: "It's nothing serious, my mom just wants to talk to me about tomorrow's plans."
Wenxi: "What are the plans for tomorrow?"
Shang Chen was stumped by the question.
His mother called him back to the old house, but actually she was asking him how he planned to tell Wenxi about his birthday.
Shang Chen made up an excuse on the spot, but unexpectedly, Wen Xi actually stumped him.
Could he take this opportunity to mention that it's his birthday tomorrow?
But how should I put it?
"Tomorrow is my birthday, and they're trying to talk to me about how to celebrate."
'I just remembered it's my birthday tomorrow, and my mom asked me about it.'
Shang Chen hesitated.
Why do these words sound increasingly off?
Shang Chen: "...asked me about my plans for the Chinese New Year."
Wenxi's attention was focused on the underwear in her hand, and she didn't pay much attention to Shang Chen fooling her.
Even if she could hear it, Wenxi could understand.
Even if you asked Wenxi to run up to Shang Chen and remind him that "it's my birthday tomorrow," Wenxi wouldn't be able to do it.
They're all respectable people, they care about their reputation.
Wenxi quickly changed the subject: "What should we eat for lunch?"
Shang Chen: "I'll take a look later."
Having missed the opportunity, Shang Chen could only hand over the resume he was holding, saying, "Here's the resume you wanted."
Wenxi reached out to take it.
Shang Chen then noticed the four boxes of men's underwear that Wen Xi was holding.
Bright red, very eye-catching.
"This...was bought for me?"
