Chapter 1302: I like to spoil you, so bear with it!
Lu Jinnan really liked the time he spent with Bai Xiaonian all day.
“Xiao Liuli’s birthday is coming soon. After you’re done with work, let’s go to the mall to pick out Xiao Liuli’s birthday present!” Bai Xiaonian suggested.
“Okay, whatever you say!” Lu Jinnan glanced at the doc.u.ments in front of him and said to Bai Xiaonian, “I’ll be done at three at the latest. If you’re tired now, go rest in my private resting room and sleep for a while, okay?”
Bai Xiaonian nodded, propped herself up on the sofa, and stood up. “I’ll go there to watch a TV series. It’ll only disturb you if I watch it here.”
Lu Jinnan nodded. “Call me if you need anything!”
Bai Xiaonian watched the television series in the resting room until 12:30 pm. Lu Jinnan’s a.s.sistant brought her a nutritious lunch. After she finished her food, Lu Jinnan picked up his coat and said that he would accompany Bai Xiaonian to the mall to pick a present. A stroll could aid in digestion.
The pregnant young lady was delighted. She pestered him to buy her a cup of milk tea in the mall and rea.s.sured that it would be the only time she’d ask for something like this before she drank the beverage.
Actually, it wasn’t as if Lu Jinnan didn’t know that Bai Xiaonian had been secretly eating instant noodles in the middle of night.
Thinking about it made Lu Jinnan’s heart ache a little. Bai Xiaonian couldn’t eat anything freely while she was pregnant and could only sneakily go to the kitchen to make instant noodles for herself in the dead of the night.
Considering the glutton that Bai Xiaonian was, Lu Jinnan felt that Bai Xiaonian must have been aggrieved. Therefore, he would turn a blind eye and let it go sometimes.
Although Bai Xiaonian was wearing a tweed cap and sungla.s.ses, when she walked with Lu Jinnan, she still managed to attract a lot of attention. Even though she was careful, the paparazzi still managed to s.n.a.t.c.h her photo.
The trending topic was about Bai Xiaonian’s pregnancy…
After all, Bai Xiaonian had already started wearing flats and loose clothes. Bai Xiaonian, who had always had a slim figure, now had a baby b.u.mp too. Anyone attentive enough would be able to tell that she was pregnant.
The internet was filled with joy, congratulating Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian.
Back then, when Bai Xiaonian saved Lu Jinnan in America, she managed to get fans from doing so. When everyone was shouting for Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan to show their sweet love, they kept a low profile and didn’t respond. The way they acted even gave people the feeling that Bai Xiaonian had only pretended to be Lu Jinnan’s wife to save him.
Now that the two of them were holding hands as they walked around the mall, and the fact that Bai Xiaonian was pregnant, the public naturally gave their blessings.
Someone also saw the milk tea in Bai Xiaonian’s hands. She said that drinking milk tea wasn’t good for the baby and reprimanded Bai Xiaonian for being too careless. Even though she was pregnant, she couldn’t hold herself back for the sake of the child. President Lu was still spoiling her.
At that moment, Bai Xiaonian was trying out a pair of shoes at a female shoe store. Lu Jinnan, who was sitting beside her, scrolled through Weibo out of boredom. When he saw someone scolding Bai Xiaonian for being careless, he directly logged onto his main account and replied…
[@Lu Jinnan: I know how hard it is for my wife to be pregnant. I don’t need you to point fingers at me. Yes, I like to spoil her, so bear with it!]
Lu Jinnan’s temper flared, and his face was flushed with anger.
“I’m asking you if this looks good on me. Why the angry face?” Bai Xiaonian poked Lu Jinnan’s side and raised her leg to show him.
Lu Jinnan picked up the other shoe to check how comfortable the insole was. “It’s nice! The insole is soft. The light golden color makes your skin look even fairer. Gorgeous! Let’s buy these two! Do you still like them?”
Lu Jinnan handed the shoes to the sales a.s.sistant and smiled as he asked Bai Xiaonian.
The sales a.s.sistant, who was serving Bai Xiaonian by the side, was jealous. Bai Xiaonian was really lucky. Her husband was so attentive and considerate…
It wasn’t like other men wouldn’t accompany their girlfriends or wives to buy shoes. But unlike Lu Jinnan, who had seriously commented on the appearance of these shoes, other men would merely say they looked good. Lu Jinnan’s remark made the sales lady appreciate their shoes even more.
After taking off her new shoes, Bai Xiaonian said, “I don’t know. My eyes are blurred.”
“I’ll help you pick. I think all the shoes in this store have high-quality insoles, so they should be very comfortable. Since you can’t wear high heels now, you should buy a few more pairs to wear!”
Lu Jinnan then got up and walked to the shoe rack to choose carefully.
The sales lady took whichever shoes Lu Jinnan picked. Very quickly, she came over with a pile of shoes.
Lu Jinnan knelt in front of Bai Xiaonian on one knee and put on each shoe on her feet, thoughtfully commenting on every pair…
“The color of these suits your light green dress. How does it feel?” Lu Jinnan asked.
Bai Xiaonian nodded. “This store’s shoes have always been very comfortable.”
After testing out all the shoes, Lu Jinnan got up and said to the sales a.s.sistant, “Wrap them up!”
“More than ten pairs are too much!” Bai Xiaonian reached out and tugged at Lu Jinnan’s arm.
The shoes were comfortable, but none of them was priced below eight thousand yuan. Bai Xiaonian still felt the pinch for Lu Jinnan.
“It’s rare to see a pair of shoes that you like and suits you at the same time!” Lu Jinnan smiled and said to the sales lady, “Wrap them up!”
Given Lu Jinnan’s extravagant manner, if the staff hadn’t known that Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian were a couple, they would have thought that a rich man had brought a pregnant mistress to the mall to indulge her!
“Mrs. Lu is so lucky!”
Several salespeople squatted on the ground, tidying up their shoes as they spoke to Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian didn’t feel embarra.s.sed either. She smiled and nodded. “Right, I think so too!”
Lu Jinnan looked at Bai Xiaonian’s vibrant smile and reached out to stroke her head. “Is there anything else you want to buy?”
“I want to go to a baby store to take a look!” Bai Xiaonian said.
After paying with his credit card, Lu Jinnan got someone to deliver these shoes to their house. He then took Bai Xiaonian to a baby store.
Although they already knew that Bai Xiaonian was pregnant with a son, Bai Xiaonian still couldn’t help but felt moved when she saw the adorable baby clothes for girls.
Bai Xiaonian caressed her stomach and said regretfully, “It’d be great if the baby were a girl! Look at how pretty this dress is! And this little flower…”
“If you like it, then buy it. Anyway, a baby doesn’t know anything. We can just dress him as a girl first!” Lu Jinnan said with a smile as he took the flower headband from Bai Xiaonian.
“Forget it. One’s sense of aesthetics is trained from a young age. What if we subconsciously incept such ideas at a young age, turning him effeminate when he grows up?” Bai Xiaonian took back the headband from Lu Jinnan’s hand and put it back on the shelves. As though she was startled by her own imagination of how the child would become, she tugged at Lu Jinnan’s arm and quickly went to the boys’ accessories section.
Lu Jinnan had already ordered a baby crib, although it hadn’t been delivered yet…
Including the toys that the child was going to play with, Lu Jinnan had already bought everything.
Although everything had already been prepared, including these little clothes, as long as Bai Xiaonian liked them, he would buy them to make her feel better.
