My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 576 - 030:_2
Actually, if you think about it carefully, her mother Wu Qianxin’s education wasn’t all that bad. At least she taught her to keep promises and not to deceive people, which are basic qualities. It’s just that Nan Jiayan’s family matters are not something she, as an outsider, can easily meddle in.
"It’s fine! Didn’t Little Yu’er say she likes me before? Wouldn’t she treat me well too? I like Little Yu’er a lot, so I want to be nice to her! How about treating these clothes as my present to you?" Lu Shishu crouched down, gently stroking her head, soothing her unstable and insecure little heart.
Little Yu’er looked at her, still with uneasy eyes, and slowly lowered her little head.
He Qianyue watched this scene and understood why Lu Shishu said the little girl was sensitive earlier. After thinking for a while, she also spoke up, "By the way, it’s my first time meeting Little Yu’er, and you calling me ’sister’ made me really happy. So, let me pay for the two outfits I picked for her as a present." After saying that, she gave Lu Shishu a wink.
Lu Shishu immediately understood what she meant, couldn’t help but laugh, and then looked at Little Yu’er again, "Alright, Little Yu’er, just be beautiful. We’re all friends with your brother, isn’t buying clothes for you as a present normal? Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you, both sisters."
After they each paid, Lu Shishu held Little Yu’er with one hand and carried her belongings with the other, then leaned close to He Qianyue and whispered, "I’ll transfer the money to you later."
"What money?" He Qianyue looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"The money for buying clothes just now!"
"Didn’t we say it was a present for Little Yu’er? Why would you need to pay me?" He Qianyue found it bizarre, glanced at her, and said, "Nan Jiayan is my friend too, okay? Giving his sister a present is perfectly normal, isn’t it? I know you’re well-off, but I don’t lack that bit of money either. Keep your thoughts to yourself!"
Listening to He Qianyue’s persistent reasoning, Lu Shishu suddenly felt it was both laughable and frustrating. She only said one sentence, and He Qianyue countered with so many. She was quite speechless.
"Alright! As a rich lady, of course, you don’t lack money! It’s just me overthinking!"
"Oh, I can’t compare to you, a rich lady."
"I’m not as wealthy as you."
"Stop it." He Qianyue glared at her, and the two of them kept teasing each other all the way, eventually picking a nearby restaurant for dinner, where they ate, drank, and chatted.
Since Lu Shishu supports a vegetarian diet and doesn’t eat meat, the choices they made covered all bases, satisfying Little Yu’er’s craving for meat while indulging Lu Shishu’s preference for vegetables.
Meanwhile, He Qianyue wasn’t picky at all, balancing meat and veggies, enjoying her meal thoroughly and without guilt.
Midway through their meal and drinks, Lu Shishu received a call from Nan Jiayan, asking where they were. After a simple conversation, Lu Shishu hesitated briefly but eventually sent him their location via WeChat. Soon, Nan Jiayan responded with, "Alright, don’t drink too much, I’ll be there soon."
Looking at those few brief words, Lu Shishu felt a warm sensation in her heart, almost smiling but restraining herself, opting to exit WeChat without replying.
"Who’s that?" He Qianyue, sitting across from her, also noticed her change in expression and asked with a teasing look.
Lu Shishu, upon meeting her meaningful gaze, knew her curiosity was burning, rolled her eyes helplessly, "Nan Jiayan, stop imagining things. Eat your meal and put away those dirty thoughts."
"Hey, I didn’t say or do anything, okay? What do you mean by ’dirty thoughts’?" He Qianyue wasn’t pleased upon hearing this, naturally objecting strongly to her accusation.
Lu Shishu chuckled lightly, "Your thoughts might as well be written on your face, aren’t they way too obvious?"
"Really?" He Qianyue instinctively raised a hand to touch her face.
"You should take out a mirror and check, it’s way too obvious."
"Go away."
The two have known each other since college, which has been about seven or eight years, making this manner of mutual banter the most natural. No matter how much time passes, even if they lose touch, their friendship is unbreakable, because once they meet, their previous way of interaction naturally returns, not feeling any awkwardness.
