Shu Xin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Aunt Yao, you are thinking too much..."
"I know I'm overthinking it. Don't cry. Auntie will never think about it again."
Shu Xin put down the porridge in her hand, held Yao Huiqin's hand, with sincere eyes, "Aunt Yao, I... I'm actually touched. I didn't have a mother when I was a child, and no one has ever been as kind to me as you are."
Yao Huiqin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and patted Shu Xin's hand lovingly, "Good boy, don't cry. As long as you are willing, Aunt Yao will take care of you like a mother from now on."
Shu Xin was greedy for the warmth of this moment and nodded hurriedly, "Okay."
Yao Huiqin directly understood that Shu Xin was willing to marry Huo Yanqing as her daughter-in-law. She was so happy that she kept saying: "What a good boy, what a good boy..."
…
Shu Xin took the time to go to the mall at noon and buy a tie for Huo Yan.
Shu Xin went directly to the Armani men's clothing store.
Shu Xin made a selection, and finally chose a navy blue tie. The price was a bit expensive, more than two thousand, but as Huo Yanqing, it was too low-end to give away. Shu Xin gritted his teeth, decided to buy it, and said to the waiter: "Please wrap this tie for me."
When Shu Xin was paying at the counter, someone called her, "Xin'er."
Shu Xin turned around and saw Qiao Ling and Huo Jibai coming in from the door. She couldn't say the word 'second sister-in-law', so she just smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
"Well, let's take Xiaobai out for a walk." Qiao Ling smiled warmly, and then her eyes fell on the bag packed in Shu Xin's hand, "Did you buy it for Yan Qing?"
Originally it was just a gift, but now she was caught by Qiao Ling, and Shu Xin felt like a wife buying clothes for her husband.
He blushed slightly unconsciously, "Yeah."
Huo Jibai glanced at Shu Xin's face, then quickly looked away. He scanned the clothes in the store, turned around and walked out, "I don't like it."
Qiao Ling smiled and asked Shu Xin, "Are you ready to buy it?"
Shu Xin nodded.
"Will you go shopping with us? You are about the same age as Xiaobai, so you should know what kind of clothes he likes." Qiao Ling looked at Shu Xin with some distress, "Mom asked me to buy clothes for Xiaobai, but I have been shopping for a long time. He missed one thing."
Shu Xin thought of Yao Huiqin and agreed. Her grandson loved her grandson, but he regarded her as his enemy. To buy clothes, he had to entrust others to buy them. Huo Jibai would definitely not wear them if Yao Huiqin bought them.
The two of them walked out of the store and caught up with Huo Jibai.
When Huo Jibai saw Shu Xin following her, he turned his head and glanced at her. His eyes caught a glimpse of the tie she had just bought from Armani in her hand. His eyes darkened slightly and he immediately looked away.
When passing by a brand of casual wear, Shu Xin stopped and asked, "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Qiao Ling looked at Huo Jibai and asked, "Want to take a look?"
Huo Jibai put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking indifferent, but walked into the store with his feet.
This time Huo Jibai didn't come out immediately.
Qiao Ling smiled and said to Shu Xin: "You young people still understand each other. I took Xiaobai to see several stores, and he always came out within a minute of entering."
Shu Xin smiled and said nothing.
Huo Jibai, on the other hand, turned back and glanced at Shu Xin.
Huo Jibai looked at the store for a long time but couldn't choose one. Qiao Ling asked him, "Is there nothing you like?"
Huo Jibai touched his nose and said, seeming a little embarrassed, "Please help me choose."
Qiao Ling was a little flattered. It was a great honor that her second ancestor asked her to help choose clothes. However, she was afraid that Huo Jibai wouldn't like it, so she turned to look at Shu Xin, "Xin'er, can you help Xiaobai choose an outfit?"
