Chapter 284: Chapter 284 The Child Has Grown Up
The mall wasn’t particularly crowded. The sparse crowd, combined with the high ceilings and exquisite decor, made the spacious and bright environment quite pleasant. Gu Shiting felt comfortable as he walked in.
They headed to the women’s clothing section on the second floor. A well-dressed group of people was coming downstairs, seemingly two families shopping together.
Gu Shiting seemed a bit tense.
Sheng Tang noticed and gently held his hand.
Gu Shiting responded by holding her hand, and they quietly walked behind their parents.
Mrs. Gu glanced back, linking arms with her husband, and said softly, "Look at those two, don’t they seem like a couple?"
Mr. Gu caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and whispered back to Mrs. Gu, "A very loving couple at that."
"Tangtang is eighteen now; in two years, they can get married," Mrs. Gu continued in a low voice. "The sooner we get her married to Ting, the sooner we can all feel at ease."
Mr. Gu chuckled, "Are you the one marrying a daughter-in-law, or is Ting? Why are you more anxious than your son?"
"Am I anxious?" Mrs. Gu laughed. "He’s more anxious than you think; you just don’t know it yet."
Mr. Gu laughed softly.
Gu Shiting was unaware of his parents’ whispered conversation ahead. His attention was completely on Sheng Tang, his eyes constantly glancing at her.
Meanwhile, Sheng Tang was looking at the clothes in the shop window.
A bright yellow sweater caught her eye, paired with a white skirt. Sheng Tang thought it was lovely and stared at it for a few seconds.
Gu Shiting immediately asked, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Sheng Tang replied, "We should ask Mom."
"Mom, are you here to walk around or to buy clothes? Shouldn’t we go in and take a look?" Gu Shiting asked.
Sheng Tang: "..."
Mrs. Gu: "..."
This kid seems to have grown up recently, how did he become so blunt? He used to be so adorable and soft.
They all went into the store.
This was a well-known luxury boutique where even a simple sweater cost over ten thousand yuan.
Sheng Tang thought the sweater was very cute; the color was bright and cheerful.
She walked over and touched it.
Mrs. Gu also thought it was nice and said, "Tangtang, try it on."
The store had a lounge area where Mr. Gu settled onto a sofa, looking very experienced.
Gu Shiting followed closely behind.
Sheng Tang took the clothes to try on, while Mrs. Gu browsed the store, looking for another outfit for Sheng Tang and possibly something suitable for Gu Shiyan.
A moment later, Sheng Tang came out after changing.
She adjusted the collar and asked Gu Shiting, "How is it?"
Gu Shiting stared at her in a daze.
The bright yellow sweater accentuated her fair skin. Her long hair draped down, with a strand falling beside her face, making her eyes look darker and deeper, like gemstones.
At that moment, she exuded a captivating charm.
Mr. Gu, watching from a distance, couldn’t help but comment, "Tangtang looks great in that."
Mrs. Gu turned around and was slightly amazed at Sheng Tang’s look.
"It’s beautiful. Tangtang’s hair is very black and her skin is fair, she looks perfect in bright-colored tops," Mrs. Gu said.
It was true.
Brightly colored tops on Sheng Tang didn’t look gaudy; they only made her features even more striking and beautiful.
"Ting, what do you think?" Mrs. Gu intentionally asked her son, who was still dazed.
Gu Shiting snapped out of it and coughed lightly, "It really does look good!"
Sheng Tang smiled.
She went to pay.
Although the sweater and skirt were quite expensive, Sheng Tang had recently made a lot of money. Her mother had purposely put thirty thousand yuan on her card for any unexpected needs.
The reason for such a large amount was that her mother was concerned that Sheng Tang might feel embarrassed if she occasionally accompanied Gu Shiting to luxury shops.
