Chapter 45: Unexpectedly Indifferent
The servants knew that the husband and wife had reconciled.
They are not that gossipy and just do their own things.
"I'll go shopping for an evening dress with you."
Huo Dongming spoke to Shang Wanwan in an unprecedentedly gentle tone.
"No, there are a lot of clothes in the closet that I haven't had time to wear yet."
She lay meekly in his arms. She had begged for Huo Dongming's rare gentleness in her dreams. However, when he really did that to her one day, she felt nothing.
How ironic——
"Those are old styles. There are many new styles this year. If you go out with me, you can't wear old clothes."
Shang Wanwan's heart skipped a beat again.
Did he take her out just to save face?
"good."
She agreed obediently that he didn't love her and her thoughts were not important to him at all.
Huo Dongming was very satisfied with Shang Wanwan's obedience. Regarding all this, Shang Wanwan was like a porcelain doll, letting everything be done.
When Shang Wanwan came out of the bathroom, a soft look appeared on her tense face.
The servant estimated the time and went upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Sir, the old man couldn't get through to you, so he called the landline downstairs."
Huo Dongming changed into home clothes and went downstairs.
"Grandpa——"
"What on earth have you been doing lately? Either you're messing around with women or you can't get anyone on the phone."
The old man's temper became increasingly irritable.
Huo Dongming couldn't tell his father that he was just "doing something" with his wife.
"I was going to take Wanwan to a party tonight and didn't pay attention to my phone."
It was so logical and reasonable that the old man lost his temper instantly.
"You should take Wanwan out more often. You've been married for three years and no one knows you're married. Stay away from questionable women and spend more time and energy on having children. I'm still waiting for my great-grandson to be born."
Hearing that Huo Dongming and Shang Wanwan were together, the old man naturally shut up. He scolded Huo Dongming a few more times on the phone and then hung up.
Shang Wanwan vaguely heard the conversation between her grandfather and grandson upstairs, and her nose felt a little sore.
Some people want her, some people use her, but no one loves her.
Half an hour later, a group of people came into the house.
They brought the season's most fashionable dresses to choose from every night.
This kind of door-to-door shopping has long been commonplace in upper-class society.
It saves wealthy ladies the time of shopping, and some ready-made clothes are never displayed in stores and are only provided to the most distinguished customers.
"Pick one."
Huo Dongming gently held her waist.
These brand sellers were also coming to the Huo family for door-to-door service for the first time, and they were all surprised to see Shang Wanwan.
It turns out that the East City's bachelor Huo Dongming is actually married. Mrs. Huo is beautiful and has a good figure. She is a hundred times prettier than Yi Xiaxue who was having an affair with Mr. Huo.
Shang Wanwan hummed softly, and her slender fingers moved across the expensive dresses, finally landing on a long white dress, the collar of which covered her neck.
It looks ordinary and unremarkable, but with a pearl necklace, it looks noble and elegant.
But when Shang Wanwan tried it on for Huo Dongming to see, Huo Dongming's brows were tightly furrowed.
The reason is that the slit of this dress is at the back, extending all the way to the waist, and it is a tight-fitting style, which fits the body curves and outlines Shang Wanwan's perfect figure seductively.
Shang Wanwan's snow-white back was completely exposed, and her fair skin and attractive figure would make anyone drool at the sight of her.
"This one won't work, change it."
He rejected it outright.
"Mr. Huo, this dress is perfect for Mrs. Huo. She will definitely steal the show. We have yet to see anyone who can perfectly interpret this dress. Mrs. Huo will definitely be our proudest spokesperson when she wears it."
The brand's sales staff were all shocked. Although they were also women, they were far inferior to Mrs. Huo.
So women who dream of marrying into a wealthy family should take a good look: not every woman can marry as well as Mrs. Huo.
Hard conditions are the primary conditions, and they are beyond their reach.
Shang Wanwan didn't realize why Huo Dongming didn't let her wear it until she felt a chill on her back and looked in the mirror.
Remembering that she had worn a similar skirt before, but without this exaggerated one, Huo Dongming just glanced at it and said nothing. He let her go anywhere.
In fact, the dress she wore today was no different from the one she wore then. It was just that she went out alone that year and drank until she vomited. In the end, it was Li Luo who brought her back.
That was also the first time she knew that Huo Dongming had a lover named Yi Xiaxue outside.
"Change it, it's too revealing."
Huo Dongming didn't allow it.
Those people looked at Shang Wanwan at a loss, hoping that she would say she liked it, because it really looked good on her.
"Then change it."
Huo Dongming picked out a black evening gown from a pile of hanging dresses. It was very beautiful with stars on it.
The key is that the dress is designed very conservatively, with no part of it exposed from top to bottom, and the shape is also very good.
"This one."
He took the clothes.
black?
What Shang Wanwan dislikes most is black. She used to laugh at women who wore black dresses, saying they must be shrews or black widows.
"This is it."
Shang Wanwan went to change clothes.
"I'll go with you."
He ignored the strange looks from the brand and insisted on following Shang Wanwan.
But they were a couple and they were at home, so the others just ate the snacks brought by the servants and waited quietly.
"I can do it myself."
She wasn't in the habit of taking off her clothes in front of him, unless it was for something like that.
However, Huo Dongming did not care about her preference and changed the white dress for her himself. When he was halfway through, he hugged her from behind. Shang Wanwan let him hold her tightly, not understanding what he wanted to do.
"This dress is so tempting, I don't want you to wear it out in front of others."
Shang Wanwan's face turned red instantly.
"No, there's someone downstairs."
Shang Wanwan was afraid that he would cause trouble again.
Huo Dongming chuckled and kissed his little wife on the cheek.
"Don't think wrongly, I just think you look so beautiful in this dress and I don't want you to go out..."
He hugged her gently and whispered.
"Change it, this one doesn't fit, I'll be jealous."
