Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Parent-Child Outfits
This outfit totals 22,000 yuan, Sheng Tang has enough money.
"You don’t need to pay," Mrs. Gu hurriedly stopped her, "alright, you should go try some others."
Sheng Tang didn’t want anything else, she just liked this outfit.
Her shopping style had always been simple: if she liked it, she’d buy it, never dilly-dallying.
Mrs. Gu, on the other hand, picked out four or five outfits.
She didn’t try them on; she just asked for the sizes. Among them, one was Sheng Tang’s size, a rose-red dress.
The clothes didn’t need to be carried by herself; the sales assistant would help Mrs. Gu place them at the ground floor reception, where Mrs. Gu’s assistant would pick them up.
The group leisurely continued shopping.
In the men’s section, Mrs. Gu bought seven or eight sets for Mr. Gu, from shirts to shoes and socks, complete with everything.
As for Gu Shiting, she carefully made selections.
Gu Shiting usually wore shirts in white, black, gray, and the like. They looked normal, but were expensive, all from this brand.
This time, Mrs. Gu picked out four more shirts for him.
Sheng Tang looked and noticed there wasn’t any difference from his usual ones.
"Why not look around some more," Sheng Tang suggested, "Senior Brother, don’t you want to buy a few sweaters too?"
Gu Shiting obediently said, "Okay."
Mrs. Gu went to another store.
For sweaters, Mrs. Gu and Gu Shiting mostly chose cool colors.
Sheng Tang noticed this brand also had bright colors, including a bright yellow one that resembled one she owned.
"Does this one look good?" Sheng Tang picked it up and asked Gu Shiting.
Gu Shiting’s expression twisted slightly.
He probably couldn’t imagine himself wearing such vibrant clothing.
Mrs. Gu understood her son’s preferences and never forced her children to change.
Now, seeing this bright yellow one, Mrs. Gu had a thought.
Tangtang and Ting could totally wear matching couple outfits.
With this thought, Mrs. Gu felt a bit excited but suppressed it, "Ting, do you want to try it on?"
Gu Shiting’s eye twitched involuntarily.
"I..." he looked troubled.
But Sheng Tang just raised her face and smiled at him, "Try it on, would you?"
He seemed spellbound, "Okay."
Mrs. Gu: "..."
Oh dear, this henpecked husband!
Mrs. Gu didn’t seem to have the possessiveness some mothers do towards their sons. Perhaps it was because her marriage was so happy; her husband occupied most of her emotions, leaving less for the children.
Anyway, seeing her son obey his future daughter-in-law’s every word, imagining that he would be a henpecked husband in the future, she could only feel schadenfreude.
She also secretly nudged her husband.
Mr. Gu was also finding it difficult to suppress his laughter.
Gu Shiting went to change clothes, with Sheng Tang following. She stood outside the fitting room waiting.
Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu sat on the sofa in the rest area, drinking the tea prepared by the sales assistant, and started gossiping.
"He and Tangtang are quite a match, see how he listens to her," Mrs. Gu said.
Mr. Gu replied, "Ting used to be very mischievous as a child, not an obedient one. Later, he was always sick and became stubborn, only listening to his father. It’s surprising that now he listens to Tangtang."
By "father," he meant his father-in-law.
"It’s great, Tangtang is capable and smart, she won’t lead your son astray," Mrs. Gu said.
Mr. Gu laughed, "I’m not worried about that."
He paused, looking in that direction, "I’m still thinking about what we discussed last time..."
"What thing?"
"Letting Tangtang and Ting live together to see if she can help him overcome his fear of the dark."
"Ting disagrees."
"We can persuade Tangtang. If she brings it up, he’s likely to agree," Mr. Gu said, "Besides, winter break is coming, a month’s time is enough to give it a try."
Mrs. Gu also pondered for a moment.
Over there, Gu Shiting came out wearing the sweater.
He rarely wore such bright clothes; his whole demeanor changed, adding a subtle touch of liveliness to his handsomeness, youthful like Wuling in his prime.
"It looks really good," Sheng Tang couldn’t stop praising, "It matches my sweater..."
A warm feeling swept through Gu Shiting’s heart.
Then, he heard Sheng Tang continue, "It really suits, we should wear them out together sometime."
Gu Shiting wanted to nod vigorously.
Before his nod was completed, he heard Sheng Tang cheerfully say, "It’s my first time wearing a couple outfit with someone, I’m so happy!"
Gu Shiting: "..."
Mrs. Gu, who happened to overhear from a distance: "..."
