Luo Sang felt that Nian Junting was being unreasonable again. “Are you saying that I can’t give other people scarves as gifts, because I’ve given you one? Not even your mother?” she asked.
“That is right.” Nian Junting nodded and replied, “And, you can’t give gifts to other men, except your father.”
Since he had made it so clear, Luo Sang understood that she would be dead if she dared to buy that pair of Uggs later.
“Alright. So tell me, what gift should I buy for your mother?” Luo Sang took a deep breath to calm herself down, then continued, “Don’t say that you have no idea. Your mom was wearing a scarf last year with I saw her. That’s why I wanted to buy her a scarf. I’m trying to please your mother, and I want to give her a satisfying gift. Can you show me some respect? I’m doing this because I want to become part of your family.”
Nian Junting paused slightly, knowing why she bought the scarf. He blamed himself for having silly thoughts and feeling agitated when thinking about Chi Shengxu’s message. “I’m sorry. I thought giving people scarves as gifts was one of your hobbies. I wanted you to treat me differently. You know how much I’ve been cheris.h.i.+ng that scarf you gave me.”
Luo Sang’s heart softened a little. She of all people knew best how precious that scarf was to him. “Alright, you don’t like me giving scarves to other people, so I won’t buy it. Let’s go and find something else.”
“No. You said it’s good, so it’s good. We’ll take it,” Nian Junting took off the scarf that Luo Sang liked and directly paid for it. “Take a look around. Is there anything that you want for yourself? I think you’d look nice with this silk scarf. I’ll buy it for you as a gift.”
“Alright.” Luo Sang nodded, feeling delighted as Nian Junting actually tried to make it up to her.
After paying for the scarves, the two of them continued shopping to buy gifts for Sister Lan, Yan Su, and the others. Recalling that she had promised Chi Shengxu she would buy him a pair of Uggs as a gift, Luo Sang had an idea when pa.s.sing by an Ugg shop.
She stopped walking and said, “Maybe we should buy each of them a pair of Uggs.”
Nian Junting stopped as well, gazing into her eyes as he responded, “Why Uggs?”
“Because… It’s gonna be near winter in Xia City. Uggs can keep them warm.” Luo Sang started dragging him into the store, saying, “And look, all these great designs.”
“I don’t agree. Uggs will take up too much s.p.a.ce. It’ll be inconvenient for us to bring them back.” Nian Junting refused to move.
“I think it’ll be alright. We have so many suitcases.” Luo Sang tried to persuade him.
“I think perfumes or lipstick are better choices. We can get Sister Lan some skin care products. As for Steward Wu, he’s a man, so we can get him a belt,” said Nian Junting in a deep voice. He was offering her a last chance. If she dared to mention Uggs again, he would lose his temper.
“…Alright then.” As he refused so strongly, Luo Sang didn’t insist in order to avoid his suspicion. “But I want to buy a pair for Yan Su’s boyfriend.” She then said, “After all, we don’t come here often. I want my gifts to be special.”
As she said that, Nian Junting fell into silence. His handsome face turned icy cold, making Luo Sang feel chilly.
“Yan Su’s boyfriend is just an excuse. You want to buy them for Chi Shengxu, don’t you?” Nian Junting directly exposed her lie. “You’ve really racked your brains in buying him a pair of Uggs.”
Luo Sang was puzzled slightly, as she couldn’t figure out how he had found out. However, she understood that she couldn’t admit it right now, because if she did, he would explode with jealousy. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said. “I said I want to buy them for Yan Su’s boyfriend. Why did you suddenly mention Chi Shengxu?”
“You’re still lying to me.” Nian Junting’s chest heaved quickly. “Chi Shengxu sent you a message when you were taking a nap. I saw it.”
