Qian Duoduo and Lu Pan strolled leisurely through Wanmao Plaza, chatting and looking around. Before they knew it, they arrived at a very cozy and charming maternity and baby store.
Lu Pan curiously pulled Qian Duoduo into the store, and was immediately drawn to the dazzling array of brightly colored dresses. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! These dresses are so beautiful!" As she spoke, her eyes brightened, as if she were seeing something she had dreamed of as a child but never had.
At this moment, Lu Pan couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, thinking back to when our Yingying was little, she had never seen so many pretty dresses! If only we had a few of these beautiful clothes back then."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo, who was standing to the side, revealed a mysterious smile and whispered, "Hehe, you don't know this, do you? Actually, I own this shop!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Pan's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked incredulously, "What? It's actually your shop? I always thought you only sold women's clothing!"
Qian Duoduo shook her head slightly and explained, "In the clothing industry, whether it's men's, women's, or children's clothing, they are all essentially the same. The only difference is the size. So for me, getting into the children's clothing field is not difficult at all."
Lu Pan carefully considered Qian Duoduo's words and suddenly felt they made a lot of sense, so she nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, you're absolutely right. It seems you really have a lot of experience in the clothing industry!"
Seeing that Lu Pan agreed with her point of view, Qian Duoduo smiled happily and continued, "I brought you here today mainly to pick out two sets of maternity clothes for you. You see, the weather is still quite warm now, but after four months your belly will be bigger, and the weather will gradually get cooler. Luckily, we just received a new batch of maternity clothes that are perfect for autumn. I'll pick out two styles you like to keep in mind, so you can wear them directly when you're further along in your pregnancy."
Upon hearing this, Lu Pan's face lit up with deep emotion. Her eyes crinkled with laughter, and she spoke to Qian Duoduo in a coquettish tone, "Duoduo, you're truly my best friend! I'm so lucky to have such a thoughtful friend like you!" As she spoke, she tightly clung to Qian Duoduo's arm.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo smiled slightly, a smile as radiant and captivating as a flower blooming in spring. Just as the two were happily selecting clothes, Qian Duoduo suddenly spotted a familiar figure not far from the entrance of the maternity and baby store.
Qian Duoduo quickly greeted Lu Pan and then hurried out of the maternity and baby store. Looking closer, she realized that the people who had just walked past were Feng Niaoniao and a girl. So, Qian Duoduo quickly called out, "Sister Niaoniao!"
Feng Niaoniao was talking to the girl beside her when she heard someone call her name. She turned around instinctively. When she saw Qian Duoduo standing not far away, a surprised smile instantly appeared on her face. She immediately pulled the girl beside her towards Qian Duoduo and asked affectionately, "Duoduo, what are you doing here?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and replied, "My sister is pregnant, so I came with her today to look at some products for pregnant women and babies." Lu Fen also stood at the entrance of the maternity and baby store, looking over.
Seeing this, Feng Niaoniao smiled and waved to Lu Pan, then turned to Qian Duoduo and teased, "Hey, you're such a busy person, always working so hard, I didn't expect you to have time to go shopping!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo chuckled and replied, "No matter how busy I am, I'm still a person, not a machine. Even machines need to be oiled after running for a long time, let alone me! Of course, I need to find time to rest and relax!"
Hearing Qian Duoduo's humorous words, Feng Niaoniao laughed even more heartily. She stretched out her finger and gently tapped Qian Duoduo's forehead, as if the two had not seen each other for many years, yet there was never the slightest sense of estrangement.
The girl standing beside Feng Niaoniao watched all this quietly, her gaze fixed on Qian Duoduo, carefully observing the incredibly familiar interaction between the two. She blinked her heavily made-up big eyes, sizing up the other girl, who looked to be only a few years older than her, but for some reason, a strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in her heart.
Qian Duoduo smiled and said to Feng Niaoniao, "Such a beautiful girl, aren't you going to introduce her?"
With a smile, Feng Niaoniao warmly introduced the girl to everyone: "This is the daughter of a good friend of mine. She's currently studying at university in Beijing! She came to visit me today, and she's here with me to pick out some clothes for our Mingxuan." As she spoke, she gently patted the girl's shoulder.
Qian Duoduo smiled and praised, "Tall and slender, with skin as white as snow, you are truly a beautiful girl!" However, despite her outstanding appearance, Qian Duoduo still noticed a deep, barely concealed hostility in her eyes.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but find it amusing. She deliberately raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh ho, Sister Niaoniao, you wouldn't be thinking of introducing such a pretty girl to Mingxuan as his girlfriend, would you?" Upon hearing this, the girl who had been sizing up Qian Duoduo instantly widened her eyes, her expression turning slightly shy. She thought to herself, "She knows Yun Mingxuan too? They seem quite familiar!"
Just as she was still immersed in her doubts, she suddenly heard Feng Niaoniao say, "No, our Mingxuan already has a girlfriend!"
Upon hearing this, the girl's delicate body trembled violently, as if struck by an electric current, and she became completely stiff. Qian Duoduo, standing beside her, smiled faintly and said softly, "Mingxuan, he's still in university. Isn't it a bit too early for him to start looking for a girlfriend so soon?"
Hearing this, Feng Niaoniao, sitting opposite, couldn't help but giggle. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes as she gently replied, "Oh, Duoduo, let me tell you, they grew up together since they were little. They're childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little! And their relationship has always been exceptionally good! Besides, why should we interfere in this kind of thing? As long as we can see them happily together, we're content!"
