Zhan Beiwang: "Nonsense! I didn't name anyone, and you're already taking it personally? Are you feeling guilty?"
Lu Xiangrong was so angry that she wanted to slap Zhan Beiwang.
Huo Dongfang put his arm around Zhan Beiwang's shoulder.
"Getting down to business is the priority."
Zhan Beiwang snorted coldly and said to Ye Fanxing beside him, "Little sister Fanxing, your brother has prepared a gift for you."
When Lu Xiangrong came to Shanghai, she wanted to browse the department stores and buy some nice things that she couldn't find in Beijing.
She never expected that Huo Dongfang, a straight-laced man, would bring his fiancée to a department store.
Lu Xiangrong stood there, watching the three people leave into the distance, and smiled self-deprecatingly to herself.
People used to say that Huo Dongfang was like a block of wood, completely lacking in romantic understanding!
But what is the reality?
When facing his young fiancée, Huo Dongfang also showed a manly side that was both passionate and considerate.
Lu Xiangrong took a deep breath and turned to go to the skincare counter.
At her age, she needs to take good care of herself and absolutely cannot be lazy anymore.
Otherwise, if you're not even thirty, you'll definitely have a face full of wrinkles and be too embarrassed to show your face to others.
In order to retain her youth, Lu Xiangrong was willing to spend a lot of money on skincare products.
Huo Dongfang and Zhan Beiwang then led Ye Fanxing to the women's clothing section on the second floor of the department store.
"Comrade, could you recommend a few outfits for my niece?"
Huo Dongfang looked around and then went into a counter that was suitable for a girl like Ye Fanxing.
The sales staff looked at Huo Dongfang and Zhan Beiwang as if they had seen a god of wealth.
"These are the most popular flared pants in the port city; they can be paired with a floral shirt."
"This is a French little black dress, which Audrey Hepburn wore in the movie 'Roman Holiday'."
"This is……"
As men, Huo Dongfang and Zhan Beiwang had no idea what these girls were talking about.
"Can I try them all?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The salesperson enthusiastically led Ye Fanxing to the dressing room. As soon as Ye Fanxing entered the dressing room, she glanced at the price on the tank top.
It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at the price, but when she did, Ye Fanxing was utterly shocked.
This black dress is worth several months' salary for Huo Dongfang.
She put on a dress, pulled back the curtain, and walked up to Huo Dongfang and Zhan Beiwang.
The cut of this dress is more suitable for European body types.
Even though it was the smallest size, it still looked comical on Ye Fanxing, like an adult wearing a child's clothes.
When Zhan Bei looked at Ye Fanxing like this, he said, "Little sister, this dress doesn't look good on you. You should change into something else."
"Stars, do you like them?"
Compared to Zhan Beiwang's outspokenness, Huo Dongfang paid more attention to Ye Fanxing's thoughts.
"I think it's a bit big, not really suitable for me."
Huo Dongfang encouraged him, "Then go and try on another one."
"good."
Ye Fanxing verbally agreed, but in reality, she didn't exchange the clothes. Instead, she returned the clothes to the salesperson and politely thanked her.
She stepped forward, grabbed Huo Dongfang's arm, and forcibly pulled him away.
"Xingxing, what's wrong?"
Huo Dongfang's eyes were full of concern.
Once they were a distance away, Ye Fanxing spoke the truth, "Uncle Huo, these clothes are too expensive."
"How much is a piece of clothing worth?" Zhan Beiwang blurted out. "Huo Dongfang can afford it."
Ye Fanxing doesn't have much money right now, and she's not really willing to spend money unnecessarily like this.
"Uncle Zhan..."
Zhan Beiwang quickly stopped him, "Call me brother, not uncle. I'm in my prime, don't make me sound old."
Ye Fanxing looked stunned.
Huo Dongfang said with a slight smile, "Call him brother, he likes it."
“Brother Wang, it’s not cost-effective. There are tailors in Shanghai who can make several dresses for the price of one dress.”
Zhan Beiwang gave a thumbs up and praised, "That's a great idea! Old Huo, what do you think?"
"Star, you don't need to worry about the price. Just tell me, do you like it or not?"
Huo Dongfang now finally understands why the old saying goes, "Raise your daughter with abundance."
Girls who are raised on money will only consider whether they like something or not.
Price and cost-effectiveness are not considered.
"Uncle Huo, I believe that if we find a tailor, he can definitely make something even better."
Zhan Beiwang agreed, "Okay, I'll take you to find a tailor."
As the three of them reached the stairwell and were about to go downstairs, Ye Fanxing saw the restroom sign.
"Uncle Huo, please wait a moment."
"Go."
Uncle Huo and Zhan Beiwang stood there waiting, while Ye Fanxing went to the bathroom on the second floor.
She washed up, tidied her hair in front of the mirror, and was about to leave when Lu Xiangrong walked in.
Lu Xiangrong placed the skincare products she had bought in front of Ye Fanxing and looked down at her.
"I thought Huo Dongfang cared about you a lot, but he didn't buy you anything in the end."
When Ye Fanxing appeared beside Huo Dongfang, Lu Xiangrong, his ex-fiancée, couldn't help but compare them.
The more she compared herself to others, the more unbalanced Lu Xiangrong felt.
Past events will also resurface in your mind.
Previously, Huo Dongfang would not have taken her to department stores, much less treated her with the same tenderness and pampering as he did Ye Fanxing.
At that time, Huo Dongfang was always polite and distant to him, and they didn't even hold hands during their engagement.
But what about now?
Huo Dongfang would let Ye Fanxing pull him away!
Huo Dongfang let Ye Fanxing lean on his shoulder.
Ye Fanxing slowly lowered her hand from fixing her hair, looked at Lu Xiangrong, and then her gaze shifted to Lu Xiangrong's lower abdomen.
"Lu Xiangrong, you should accumulate some good karma for the child in your womb."
