Watching Xuan Mohan behave like a mother hen protecting her chicks, or rather, a she-wolf protecting her cubs, Xia Han completely deflated.
"It's okay, Qianqian, you're finally here. Let's go shopping." Xia Han rubbed her hands together obsequiously.
"No, what just happened here? Why did the police show up? Are you okay, Hanhan?"
The police had already left to investigate the thief.
"I'll tell you later. Talking about it now will ruin my shopping mood." Xia Han furiously rubbed her clothes and shot Lu Haoran a glare.
Lan Qianqian said no more, turning instead to the man beside her. "Why are you here?"
Speaking of which, Xuan Mohan's expression turned cold. "Look at your phone."
Lan Qianqian looked puzzled, unlocked her phone, and a dialog box displayed: Nothing to do today, any place you want to go? I'll accompany you.
"Uh, I overslept this morning and didn't see it." This was her explanation for not replying to the message.
Xuan Mohan's expression improved slightly. "Let's go, I'll accompany you shopping."
"President, then we..."
A weak voice sounded from behind. They had just recovered from their shock, and hearing the President say he was going to accompany a woman shopping sent a jolt of surprise through them.
"Hmm?" He cast a nonchalant glance at the group of executives behind him.
"It's nothing, President. Wishing you and this young lady a pleasant shopping trip." The executives immediately bowed and took care of all matters.
"Mm." With that, he led the little woman beside him away.
"No..." Xia Han wanted to say something, but seeing the imposing, tall figure ahead, the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
She quietly followed...
Lu Haoran closed his mouth. "Mo, wait for me!"
Seeing his brother accompany a woman shopping was quite entertaining. With so much firsthand information today, he'd have plenty to brag about to his friends.
"Sister-in-law, what's your name? I'm Lu Haoran, you can just call me Haoran."
"I know some fun places around here..."
Xuan Mohan's glare interrupted all of Lu Haoran's subsequent words.
"So stingy, so stingy. I only said a couple of words, and not even that. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"What do you want to buy, hmm?" Xuan Mohan asked dotingly.
Hearing the magnetic and pleasant voice in her ear, Lan Qianqian's cheeks flushed again. She fiddled with her hands, looking somewhat flusteredly at Xia Han who was following behind.
Xia Han shrugged and shook her head. She really didn't dare to compete with her man for someone.
Turning her head, her gaze accidentally met Lu Haoran's. "Hmph!"
She spoke with her arms crossed, her head turning in unison.
"Then let's go to a clothing store." Xuan Mohan had already made the decision.
Thus, the group of four entered a seemingly high-end shop in the mall.
Lan Qianqian didn't even want to go in because the clothes inside looked very expensive.
"Hello, how can I help you?" A sales assistant immediately approached them.
"Bring out any clothes that suit her."
Following the man's gaze, the sales assistant said, "Sir, your wife is truly beautiful, naturally radiant, and her figure is so good. She must look good in anything. Our store has just received several new designs from famous renowned designers, which are also very suitable for your wife."
"Let's go." Xuan Mohan walked in first.
Upon reaching the spot the sales assistant had mentioned, Xuan Mohan's eyes landed on a dress, blue and white, both cute and elegant.
"That one."
"Sir, your eye for selection is excellent. This one you've chosen is our store's most unique, with the best style and fabric. It's the only one in the store. Your wife will surely look beautiful in it."
"Mm, take it down." Xuan Mohan tried to maintain his usual cool demeanor, but the corners of his mouth, which refused to turn down, couldn't hide his good mood.
"Look at this, men in love are just like this. It's truly astonishing," Lu Haoran watched with great interest.
"Uh..." Before Lan Qianqian could speak, Xuan Mohan pushed her into the fitting room.
"Hurry up and go, I'll wait for you outside."
Xuan Mohan's doting smile made Lan Qianqian a little shy. She nodded and went in to change.
"I say, Mo, now you should tell us how you met, right? I'm really too curious, brother."
Lu Haoran was scratching his ears and cheeks, finally seizing the opportunity while they were separated to ask these questions.
Xia Han forgot about arguing with Lu Haoran and listened intently. She was curious too, but she couldn't talk to Qianqian.
"Fate." Xuan Mohan said with a smug air.
After waiting for a long time and only getting these two words, Lu Haoran was a bit exasperated, but his brother wouldn't answer any further questions.
Xuan Mohan certainly didn't have time to answer. He was intently watching the fitting room, hoping to be the first to see the girl when she came out.
That's right, his possessiveness was that strong.
He waited with bated breath, and finally saw the person he wished to see...
The dress complemented the beauty. The blue made her skin appear even fairer. Her hair was casually draped behind her. The floral buds on the sleeves and the small skirt hem at the bottom made Lan Qianqian look like a budding flower, yet she appeared graceful and natural, as if the dress had been tailor-made.
Xuan Mohan's gaze remained fixed on Lan Qianqian, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
"This dress suits you very well." With that said, he strode to Lan Qianqian's side.
Seeing Xuan Mohan's hot and burning gaze, Lan Qianqian unconsciously avoided it, clutched her skirt, her cheeks flushing. "Does it really look good?"
"It looks good. There's no one better looking than you," Xuan Mohan said deeply and dotingly.
Lan Qianqian's face turned even redder.
