Free Web NovelChapter 429: Chapter 459: Crazy Shopping Spree
Qin Jiao said, "Your mom insisted it was a gift for me starting to call her ’Mom.’ She would have been unhappy if I hadn’t accepted it."
Shen Yi sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Our mom gave it to you, so you should just take it. And let me tell you, once her wedding is over, you’ll probably be able to get a lot more nice things. You should ask her for a few pigeon-egg-sized diamonds or something."
Qin Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "How can you scam your own mom like that?"
"How is that scamming her? You’re my wife, and we’re all one family!"
While he spoke so righteously, his hands began to wander. Qin Jiao slapped them away and said, "Shen Yi, will you behave?"
Shen Yi leaned his entire body against Qin Jiao. "I can’t go on. I need a kiss from my wife to feel better."
"..."
’What is with this guy? He’s getting more and more shameless.’
Fortunately, Shen Yi was just being playful. When he saw it wasn’t working, he obediently turned around and took out a book to read. Final exams would start right after New Year’s Day, and neither of them was the type to slack off on their studies, no matter the circumstances.
Still, Shen Yi was very content with this time alone together. In the afternoon, he even ordered tea to be delivered to their room.
Once Du Liya was well-rested, she came and knocked on their door. The moment it opened, she said happily, "Xiao Jiao, come on, let’s go shopping!"
"We’re going today?"
"Mhm! There’s a mall not far from the hotel. We can buy some things now and have them stored. Then we can take it all back with us when we head home."
Qin Jiao wanted to buy gifts for her parents, Xiao Shi, and many other people, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
Shen Yi put down his book and said, "I’ll come carry your bags!"
Du Liya was thrilled to have her strong son carry their bags. As for money, Beidou had already given her plenty.
When they got to the entrance of the mall, Du Liya patted Qin Jiao’s shoulder. "Xiao Jiao, whatever you like, Mom will buy it for you!"
"Thank you, Mom."
Hearing Qin Jiao call her "Mom," Du Liya was over the moon. She pulled her daughter-in-law away from her precious son’s side and linked arms with her. "Sigh, I’ve always been so envious of people who have daughters to take them shopping. It’s a shame my luck was bad and I never had one of my own!"
As she said this, she shot her son a reproachful glare.
Shen Yi rubbed his nose in resignation. "Mom, didn’t I get you a daughter-in-law to go shopping with you? I even came along to carry your bags. And you’re still not satisfied?"
"I am satisfied. Can’t you see how happy I am today?"
The three of them entered the mall, and Du Liya’s spending power was astounding. Qin Jiao had just managed to pick out a red wool sweater for her own mother, and a designer belt and a pair of shoes for her father.
As for Xiao Shi, she hadn’t found anything yet. The girl was currently focused on her studies, determined to become a powerful career woman in the future. As a result, she didn’t usually pay much attention to her appearance. Qin Jiao wanted to pick out a pretty dress for her.
But she couldn’t find anything suitable.
But there was no rush; there would be other opportunities.
’I still need to get gifts for my aunt and uncle, Grandpa Du, and the others...’
Du Liya’s shopping style, on the other hand, was far more extravagant. If she saw something she liked, she bought it. If she saw something that suited her daughter-in-law, she bought it!
Before long, Shen Yi’s hands were full of shopping bags, only a tenth of which were from Qin Jiao’s purchases.
And yet, Du Liya still hadn’t stopped. She said, "Xiao Jiao, those shoes would look great on you! Go try them on!"
Qin Jiao hurriedly said, "Mom, you already bought me a pair of high heels. Let’s skip these."
But Du Liya said with a serious expression, "Xiao Jiao, a woman can never have just one pair of high heels!"
Qin Jiao was speechless.
