165. Is Huo Yanxi going crazy?
Monica looked at Xie Yaoyao's lovestruck expression and felt extremely envious.
"Look at you, it makes me want to be in a relationship too."
Xie Yaoyao smiled and said, "Sure, you can talk to your husband, Lao Zhang."
Monica immediately lost interest. "We're an old married couple, what's there to talk about?"
Xie Yaoyao leaned close to her ear and said, "Who says old married couples can't date? Couples can be even sweeter than young lovers, okay?"
Monica wasn't interested. "Forget it, you don't know how old-fashioned Old Zhang is."
“If he’s old-fashioned, then you can be one, Monica. Let’s go shopping later.”
Xie Yaoyao noticed last year that Monica and Director Zhang's relationship seemed disharmonious.
At that time, she wasn't that close to Monica, so there were some things she couldn't say too much about.
They are now good friends, and discussing personal matters shouldn't be considered inappropriate.
Monica said, "Great! It's the change of seasons right now, so I'd like to see if there are any discounted clothes to stock up on for next year."
Monica moved to a new house last year and took out a loan, so she's living on a tight budget.
Xie Yaoyao said, "I don't have class this afternoon, what about you?"
Monica didn't have classes in the afternoon, so the two of them went to Central together, a district full of luxury stores and large shopping malls.
Many summer clothes were on sale in the mall, and Monica tried on a few dresses.
She has the look of a Hong Kong-style beauty and a very sexy figure.
However, since her job is as a teacher, she can't dress too sexily, which actually hides her beautiful figure.
Xie Yaoyao accompanied her to try on clothes. After watching her try on several conventional long dresses, she went over and picked up a red bodycon dress and handed it to her.
"Go try this one."
Monica had wanted to try it on earlier, but then she thought it wouldn't be practical to wear it to work.
She said, "Forget it, I won't wear it many times anyway, and it won't have a good influence at school."
"It's okay, the school still has weekends off, right? Go try it on, and if it doesn't suit you, we won't buy it."
Monica was pushed into the fitting room by Xie Yaoyao, and a short while later, she came out wearing the red dress.
With her big, wavy hair and sexy red dress, plus Monica's natural Hong Kong beauty style, she looks exactly like a Miss Hong Kong from the 1990s.
Not only Xie Yaoyao, but even the saleswoman's eyes lit up.
"This red dress is absolutely perfect for you, it's so beautiful."
Monica stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself from left to right, and felt quite satisfied with herself.
"It is indeed beautiful."
However, she just checked the price tag and it's still over two thousand even after the discount.
Although she thought it looked good, she couldn't bring herself to buy the dress, which cost over two thousand yuan.
Xie Yaoyao kept praising her, but when she saw Monica's hesitant expression, she knew she was worried about the money.
Xie Yaoyao wasn't exactly well-off, but Huo Yanxi gave her a supplementary bank card this morning.
Given their current relationship, she should have no problem using his supplementary credit card to accumulate gold coins, right?
While Monica went to change her clothes, Xie Yaoyao secretly paid the bill and had the sales assistant pack a new dress for her.
When Monica came out of the fitting room, she was indeed reluctant to part with the red dress, but in the end she didn't buy it.
They visited several more stores; Monica bought two dresses, and Xie Yaoyao bought several pieces of clothing for Yubao.
After getting tired of shopping, the two grabbed some snacks and then continued shopping.
Passing by a convenience store, Xie Yaoyao dragged Monica inside.
She used to pass by this store often when she went shopping, but she felt embarrassed to go in when she had Yu Bao with her.
Especially since she didn't have a man at that time.
Going to a sex shop when there are no men around is just asking for trouble.
But she thought that Monica was going to have an extramarital affair with Lao Zhang, and how could they do it without something to liven things up?
Moreover, the shop looked quite respectable, not as shady as she had imagined.
The shop window displays sexy sheer dresses, as thin as cicada wings, making it feel like you're not wearing anything at all.
But wearing it creates a subtle, alluring effect, making it even more captivating.
The saleswoman was a girl in her early twenties who greeted them warmly and introduced them to the products.
Xie Yaoyao listened attentively, imagining herself wearing those gauze dresses...
Is Huo Yanxi going crazy?
She shook her head violently, afraid to let her mind wander any further.
"Does this outfit look good, Teacher Xie?" Monica asked Xie Yaoyao, holding up a gray-pink gauze dress.
Xie Yaoyao looked up and saw that the gray-pink gauze dress had two holes in the chest. "How am I supposed to wear this?"
Wouldn't wearing it expose your nipples?
Monica grinned mischievously, "That's how you wear it, isn't the design amazing?"
Xie Yaoyao: "...It's really awesome."
"Do you like this?" Monica held up the gauze dress and shoved it onto her.
Xie Yaoyao has fair skin and could pull off this color, but she quickly waved her hand.
"If you don't like it, put it back."
"Who pulled me in here just now? Why are you suddenly shy? Saleswoman, please wrap this up for me, in my friend's size."
Xie Yaoyao quickly refused, "Monica, don't waste your money, don't buy it."
Monica smiled and said, "Don't be so polite with me. We almost couldn't afford the down payment when we bought the house last year if you hadn't lent us 100,000 yuan. I'll always remember this kindness."
Xie Yaoyao said, "I didn't help much. You borrowed it for a week and then returned it to me."
“But at that time we could hardly come up with another 100,000. If we breached the contract, we would not be able to get back the 1 million deposit we had given. Anyway, don’t be polite with me.”
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
In the end, she couldn't stop her, and Monica bought the gray-pink gauze dress.
Looking at those two pieces of gauze dress, as thin as cicada wings, with two holes in the front, Xie Yaoyao felt like she was burning her hands.
As I stepped out of the mall, the sky was ablaze with the colors of sunset, and pedestrians hurried along the streets.
Monica doesn't have evening self-study sessions; she's taking the subway home. Xie Yaoyao, on the other hand, has to go back to school.
The two went to the subway station together, but in different directions, so they parted ways inside the station.
Xie Yaoyao stuffed a paper bag into Monica's arms and said, "Monica, why don't you and your brother-in-law have a candlelight dinner tonight? I've already prepared your battle robe."
Monica opened the paper bag and saw the red dress inside; her eyes welled up with tears.
"It's so expensive, why did you buy it?"
Xie Yaoyao shook the paper bag in her hand; it was a gift Monica had just bought for her.
She said, "It's about reciprocity. If you dress nicely, I'll dress nicely too."
Monica couldn't help but chuckle, "Your brother-in-law will definitely go crazy for you."
Both knew they had a long future ahead of them, so neither refused the other's kindness and accepted the gift.
After finishing her evening self-study session, Xie Yaoyao returned home, only to find that Huo Yanxi was unusually absent today.
Xie Ziyu had already been coaxed to sleep by Uncle Jian.
When Uncle Jian saw her return, he picked up his car keys and went back to No. 22 Victoria Peak.
Xie Yaoyao went to check on Xie Ziyu in the children's room and saw that he was sleeping soundly, with Doubao curled up in the doghouse next to his bed.
Both the person and the dog were sleeping soundly.
She gently closed the door, turned around and walked to the living room sofa, where she saw the paper bag she had placed under her laptop bag.
After thinking for a moment, she picked up the paper bag and went to the bathroom.
