Arriving at the mall, Lu Mello accompanied her to the department store and followed her as she really went to buy additional underwear for herself. She even bought additional dresses and other clothing"s that caught her attention.
"Um... Aren "t we just here to buy your undies?" Lu Mello once asked.
s.h.i.+ Enxi smirked while holding his limited edition black card that has a golden line in it. "I still need to buy that, that and that!"
When Lu Mello first handed it to her, she was dumbstruck by it since it was the legendary king of all cards. The limit of the card was was extremely high and so was the annual fee although anyone who held the card would receive the first-cla.s.s service worldwide. The only ones who held this rare platinum card were politicians or billionaires.
The only reason why s.h.i.+ Enxi gave in and bought the kind of underwear that Lu Mello wanted for her was that she wanted to try using that card.
The salespeople who saw s.h.i.+ Enxi holding out the card instantly treated them like VIPs.
There were so many things that attracted s.h.i.+ Enxi. From bags to shoes to accessories, she felt like she could buy anything no matter how big the price was!
Lu Mello quietly followed his wife and wondered when will she be contented? It wasn"t just one cart that was full, the third cart was almost on it!
After being roaming around the women"s apparel, they had their dinner in one of the famous restaurants there. Not long, they went back and this time, they entered the men"s apparel.
"I think you need new clothes!"
"... No... I have enough clothes and things-"
"Hus.h.!.+ Listen to your wife, Mr. Lu." Her smile was so wide and her eyes were sparkling brightly like stars that Lu Mello wasn"t able to refute.
She clung onto his arm and started another round of shopping for him. She made him tried different suits and even shoes. The mall was already closing but s.h.i.+ Enxi wasn"t in a hurry to go out. As long as they were there then the mall will have to extend their opening hours!
Their last stop was the jewelry store. "Darling, there"s something lacking in this marriage."
Even if Lu Mello was tired from walking around, he didn"t complain even once since it was their first day as being husband and wife. He decided to let her be for that day. "Hm? What is it?"
She raised her hand, "You didn"t give me a ring! You need to buy me one!"
He smiled at her, "I have already one for you."
"Then why didn"t you give it to me?"
"I was planning to give it to you tonight."
"Oh..." She pouted and looked at the rings in front of her. "Are they better than the ones here?"
"Of course, after all, it"s a custom-made ring."
Her eyes glistened in delight, "Alright! I"ll wait until we get home then!"
s.h.i.+ Enxi was in a very good mood after shopping with him. Lu Mello"s car trunk was so full that the rest of the things that s.h.i.+ Enxi bought were placed at the backseat since it couldn"t fit in the trunk anymore.
By the time they went back to the hospital, they were able to get their results and consult a doctor about it. They were both nonreactive in every test they took and with that, the couple went home.
s.h.i.+ Enxi was fast asleep on their way home.
Upon arriving in the paradise-like estate, Beijing"s most famous and well-known estate. It had tight security and not anyone could enter it so easily.
Lu Mello"s servants took the things away from the car and brought everything in the master"s bedroom.
s.h.i.+ Enxi woke up when she felt Lu Mello"s warm touch. She opened her sleepy eyes only to see Lu Mello"s close face.
He was carrying her in his arms and was heading to his room.
"Are we home?"
Lu Mello turned to her with a soft smile. He was glad that s.h.i.+ Enxi was considering his place as her home. It looked like allowing her to shop for a while with his card lessened the distance between them.
"Yes, we"re home." He entered his room and gently placed her on his bed. "I know you"re tired so go to sleep."
"But..." She paused. It was their wedding night, right?
He knew what she was about to say that"s why he said, "We can delay our wedding night." He placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "I"ll prepare a warm bath for you, okay? After that, you can continue to have your rest. You can unpack tomorrow instead."
s.h.i.+ Enxi watched him head to the bathroom. She noticed that the things she bought for them were placed on one side of the room with her bags beside them.
Even if there were times where Lu Mello was being shameless and straightforward, his thoughtfulness towards her touched her heart.
His caring side was new to her. He never stopped her earlier no matter how spoiled she acted. He was very patient on her and he never complained.
Now that they at home, he didn"t force her into sleeping with him even if she knew how excited he was about it earlier.
How can he treat her this way even after knowing everything about her? He knew her horrible past, he knew that she was the person behind w.a.n.g Hao"s accident even if she continued to deny it. Wasn"t marrying her was a one way of keeping an eye at her? But what was this? Why was he acting like a real husband to a horrible woman like her?
Her sleepiness was gone despite the tiredness she felt. She got off the bed and went to the bathroom instead.
Lu Mello was facing his back on her since he was filling the tub with warm water.
She stared at him quietly before she took her clothes one by one.
Feeling another presence in the bathroom, Lu Mello turned to look at the person only to find her standing before him in her underwear.
"Help me wash my back." She unhooked her bra and was about to take it off but Lu Mello was fast enough to grab a towel and wrap it around her.
"What are you doing?"
She looked at him and smiled blankly, "Are you blind or what? I"m here to take a bath, although I will need your help to wash my back. How about we take a bath together instead?"
