My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 736 - 742 goes to buy underwear_1

"Sure, you could run, but definitely don’t jump. Otherwise, your kids would be calling someone else mom!" Su Yueze effortlessly dispelled any negative thoughts she might have been harboring.

For a moment, Lin Xiangwan indeed felt a furious urge to jump, but his comment completely quashed it.

Lin Xiangwan felt as if her heart underwent relentless high-pressure training. One moment it was stoked hot, then plunged into icy cold water the next.

Yet, she has survived it all without collapsing, which even surprised herself.

She chuckled, casting an accusing glance at Su Yueze. "Do you think I’ve been having too good of a time and now you have to torture me?"

Su Yueze cornered his lips in a bemused smile. "Isn’t this just a meal? Why are you overreacting as if some big crime has happened?"

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan reconsidered and agreed.

Su Yueze leaned closer to her. "If.... I wanted to torture you, would I really need... to use this tactic? If I did want to torture you, I’d choose to do it in bed!"

Lin Xiangwan wrinkled her nose, looking at him in confusion. "What are you thinking about all day? Are you still thinking about me? I’m telling you, you better drop that idea, it’s completely inappropriate! Hmmm..."

"Wow, are you monitoring me a bit too closely? You are even controlling my innermost thoughts..."

"..."

Lin Xiangwan looked at him confusedly.

Su Yueze continued with a probing tone. "To want to govern my soul, you’re pushing it quite a bit, don’t you think? If you want that level of control over me, you’ll have to marry me!"

Xuexue, who was standing a distance from them, coolly looked up from her accounting book. She didn’t move, didn’t make any noise, and just quietly stood there.

In her quiet demeanor, one could easily overlook her presence. However, Su Yueze felt the weight of two gazes on his back, which made him uncomfortable.

Following that uneasy feeling, he turned around and met Xuexue’s quiet gaze. He awkwardly pulled away from Lin Xiangwan. "Xuexue, how’s the accounting going? Have you finished yet?"

Xuexue discarded her emotionless gaze and squinted at the figures, scratching her head. "I’m not sure if I calculated something wrong, but today’s sales seem to have significantly increased!"

"Oh?" Lin Xiangwan was quite surprised. "Really? By how much?"

"One thousand!"

For a small shop like theirs, an unexpected thousand in sales is quite a substantial amount.

"Really?" Lin Xiangwan asked, not quite sure she believed it. "Didn’t notice an increase in customers today."

"Oh, we had a lot more takeaway orders today. Also, our meal portions sold significantly more than usual!" Xuexue provided more details after checking the records.

"Hehe, it seems our little shop does have potential!" Lin Xiangwan remarked joyfully.

"Yes!" Xuexue packed up her stuff. "Lin, if there’s nothing else, I would like to leave early today!"

"Where are you going?" Xuexue was always diligent, so it was unusual for her to leave early.

"Well, I just want to stroll around and buy some small things. I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve done any evening shopping!" With a blush following her statement, Xuexue looked slightly embarrassed. "Sister, would you be mad at me? Wouldn’t think I’m not dedicated to my job, right?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xiangwan laughed, once again laying her worried gaze on Xuexue’s face. "If you want to go shopping, why don’t you wait for a while and I can accompany you?"

"Sister, don’t you remember the boys have their mid-term exams tomorrow and you said you’d help them study tonight?"

"I nearly forgot!" Lin Xiangwan suddenly remembered. "It looks like we need to close up shop now, I must rush home!"

Su Yueze glanced at the time; it was almost closing time. "Well, there goes my meal. I think I’ve overstayed my welcome."

"Oh, then I won’t hold you up!" Lin Xiangwan didn’t make any attempt to persuade him to stay.

Right now, all she could think about were her two kids.

"Xuexue, get in!"

Driving his Lamborghini, Su Yueze caught up with the girl ahead.

Wearing a beige trench coat and ponytail, Xuexue turned around, puzzled. "Why did you catch up? Weren’t you going to drop Lin off?"

Su Yueze stopped the car right in front of her. "Get in and we’ll talk!"

During the evening rush hour, stopping his car in the middle of the road was blocking traffic, so Xuexue decided to get in after a brief consideration.

As soon as she closed the door, Su Yueze glanced at her. "Where are you going? I can drop you off!"

"I’m not sure where to go!" Xuexue looked outside, feeling very lost.

"Don’t girls usually go shopping with their best friends after work? Don’t you have a best friend to call?"

"I don’t have many friends in my life. Other than Lin, nobody really." Xuexue replied straightforwardly.

"Really? No good friends throughout your life?"

"Of course not. I do have good friends, but they’re all from the Troops. We’ve all retired and returned to our hometowns, so we barely keep in touch now!"

"Didn’t you attend elementary, middle, and high school in city B?" Su Yueze realized at this moment that he was quite interested in this girl.

Why though?

"Of course, I was born in city B. Both my parents are residents of city B!"

"Oh..."

"Then, you always claim you’re from northeast!"

"My hometown is in the northeast, is there a problem with that?" Xuexue shot back a question.

"Of course, there isn’t! No issue at all." Su Yueze answered somewhat fearfully. There was an inherent authority in this girl’s remarks- seemingly a natural trait.

Perhaps this is a characteristic of northeastern people?

"Oh!"

So that was all she said.

Su Yueze chuckled. "So, you must lead a somewhat lonely life, don’t you?"

"I don’t fear loneliness. What’s worse is being with people I dislike. That’s utterly exhausting; far better to be alone and free!"

"That does make sense!"

"So, what exactly do you want to buy? I need a destination."

"Undergarments..." she said very softly.

"What?"

"Undergarments!" This time, she answered a bit louder.

"Ah, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about! You should speak confidently!"
