"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."
Gu Baiwei spoke expressionlessly. There was a pause on the other end of the line for a few seconds, followed by Lin Xueting's surprised voice: "Sister? Why is Si Nian's phone with you? He always hates it when others touch his things..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Gu Baiwei hung up the phone directly: "I'll block those harassing calls trying to sell dog food."
Before Ye Sinian could speak, she quickly blocked the phone number labeled Lin Xueting and deleted it.
"Gu Baiwei!"
Ye Sinian gritted his teeth.
Gu Baiwei reached out and gave him a sharp rap on the head.
"How rude! Call her 'Auntie'!"
With a chuckle, Xia Shihhan couldn't help but burst out laughing. It was the first time she had ever seen Ye Sinian look so embarrassed.
Ye Sinian slowly looked up and asked, "Is it funny?"
The moment she met his gaze, Xia Shihhan's smile froze, she bit her lip, and silently lowered her head.
Her long, black hair hung down, obscuring her fair face, making her look pitiful.
Gu Baiwei had a headache. How could she have given birth to such a rebellious son with negative emotional intelligence?
It seems that if she doesn't make a move, such a good daughter-in-law will eventually be stolen away by the legendary male lead.
By the way, when did the male protagonist appear in the novel?
Gu Baiwei thought for a moment, but couldn't remember. Oh well, it's not important.
As long as she brings the two together sooner, the male lead will have to take a backseat no matter when he appears.
Having made up her mind, she grabbed Xia Shihhan's hand and said, "Shihhan, I haven't given you a gift yet. Shall we go shopping together?"
Seeing Gu Baiwei's incredibly gentle smile, Ye Sinian's forehead twitched involuntarily. There was definitely nothing good coming from her like that.
He immediately stood up and said, "I have something to do at the company, so I'll be leaving now."
Before she could even take a step, Gu Baiwei swiftly pinched her waist: "Are you in a hurry?"
His words were laced with a strong threat.
Ye Sinian paused for a few seconds, then sat back down next to her with a dark expression: "No rush."
Gu Baiwei immediately beamed with joy: "Come on, Nian Nian will come with us."
She walked ahead, arm in arm with Xia Shihhan, while the aloof and domineering CEO followed behind, carrying various bags.
Along the way, girls frequently looked over.
"Ahhh, so handsome, and so considerate, he's got boyfriend potential!"
"I'm going to send this to my boyfriend so he can study it carefully."
"Ahhh, this suit looks incredibly expensive, and he's such a considerate and domineering CEO."
Ye Sinian frowned and looked over, and the girls watching immediately screamed, "Ahhh, he looked at me, he looked at me, he's so handsome!"
His brows furrowed instantly; shopping with women was so annoying.
Xia Shihhan turned to look at him nervously: "Si Nian, do you want me to get some for you?"
"Need not."
Ye Sinian coldly refused, which drew screams from the girls around him: "Wow, his proud and considerate little face is so handsome, I love him so much."
Ye Sinian: "..." Which of their eyes saw that he loved her?
As Gu Baiwei passed by a high-end women's clothing store, her eyes lit up: "The clothes here look nice, let's go in and take a look."
Before Xia Shihhan could refuse, Gu Baiwei dragged her into the store.
The store features limited-edition items, reportedly designed by a renowned Italian designer.
Gu Baiwei glanced around the store and quickly pointed to several dresses on the display rack, saying, "Let her try on all of these."
Xia Shihhan hurriedly shook her head: "Auntie, this...this is too expensive."
Seeing that the three women had an extraordinary air about them and were obviously big customers, the sales assistant immediately took off all the clothes, saying, "This lady has such a great figure, they would all look very good in these."
Gu Baiwei waved her hand generously: "Shihan, go try them on. If they're suitable, buy them all. He'll pay for them."
As he spoke, he pointed to Ye Sinian, who was sitting on the sofa.
Xia Shihhan wanted to refuse, but Gu Baiwei secretly pulled her aside: "Shihhan, how about we make a bet?"
"bet?"
Xia Shihhan was stunned and looked at Gu Baiwei with some confusion.
"I'm betting that this kid will be tempted after you change your clothes."
Gu Baiwei declared confidently, "I bet I will."
Xia Shihhan glanced furtively at Ye Sinian beside her, blushing and biting her lower lip: "Then... I'll give it a try."
She walked shyly toward the fitting room.
The sales assistant immediately beamed with joy and was about to follow after him with the clothes in her arms, but Gu Baiwei stopped her.
Gu Baiwei kicked Ye Sinian on the shin: "What are you standing there for? Help deliver the clothes."
"Gu Baiwei, don't go too far."
Ye Sinian gritted his teeth.
Gu Baiwei pretended to roll up her sleeves, but Ye Sinian gave in immediately: "Go away, don't scratch me."
How dare this brat mess with her? Doesn't he know who she is?
Gu Baiwei, who had gotten her wish, hummed a little tune in a great mood and continued looking at clothes. Just then, someone appeared next to her and bumped into her shoulder hard, as if on purpose, making her stumble.
Gu Baiwei frowned and looked up, meeting Qi Ping's heavily made-up face.
"Oh dear, so it's someone shameless mistress. You're doing business with this kind of person, aren't you afraid of ruining your own reputation?"
Qi Ping's loud voice, as always, drew frequent glances from passersby.
Lin Xueting, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed Qi Ping's arm: "Pingping, stop talking, let's go to another store."
"What are you afraid of? You are Mr. Ye's legitimate girlfriend. Even a mistress like her doesn't leave. Why should you leave?"
Lin Xueting pursed her lips. Qi Ping didn't know that Ye Sinian had a fiancée and only thought that Gu Baiwei was intentionally seducing him.
"She has the face of a vixen, and who knows how many men she's been with, pshaw."
Without Ye Sinian present this time, Qi Ping's scolding became even more justified.
Gu Baiwei was wary of her future daughter-in-law being there and didn't want to cause trouble, but the woman just kept taking advantage of her.
The more she ignored them, the more energetic she became. Even though she knew they mistook her for Xia Shih-han, she couldn't be bothered to explain.
Xia Shihhan is gentle and weak; if she encountered something like this, she would probably just hide away and cry. But she's different.
"What? Haven't you had enough of a beating yet?"
She made a move as if she was about to roll up her sleeves.
Qi Ping's expression changed instantly upon seeing this: "You...you stay away, or I'll call the police."
Gu Baiwei pressed closer: "Fine, call whatever you want. Let's see who's in the wrong when the police arrive."
"Aaaaah, you're a lunatic!"
Qi Ping saw Gu Baiwei raise her hand to slap her, screamed, and hid behind Lin Xueting.
"cut."
Gu Baiwei snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to them, and went back to continue picking out clothes.
Lin Xueting bit her lip and stepped forward: "Sister, Si Nian loves me. Even if you marry him, you can only have his body, not his heart."
Gu Baiwei raised an eyebrow at her, about to speak, when Lin Xueting suddenly took a step back, fell to the ground, and looked at her with a wronged expression: "Sister, I know you hate me, but I just wanted to say hello to you, why are you treating me like this?"
