Chapter 1362: Chapter 1367: I Only Believe What You Said 3
“”Mom, try on this dress, it’s so beautiful! You will look absolutely stunning in it.”
Gu Qingxin was overjoyed to be able to use her own money to buy a beautiful dress for her mother. She chose a green maxi dress for Lin Yin and held it up against her body to see the fit.
Lin Yin looked at the price and said, “It’s too expensive, the price of this one dress is equivalent to your yearly tuition fee.”
“I have a scholarship for my education, there’s no need for tuition fees. Please try it on, just this once!”
The more Gu Qingxin looked at the dress, the more she believed it suited her mother. The elegant green, embroidered with intricate patterns, made it look even more sophisticated.
Unable to resist her daughter’s insistence, Lin Yin went to try on the dress. Before she could emerge, Gu Qingxin quickly swiped her card and paid for it. She didn’t even need to see it on her, she knew it was perfect for her mother.
When Lin Yin came out, she resembled a refined young lady from an ancient courtyard. Although Lin Yin didn’t take much care of herself due to limited economic conditions, her natural beauty was still striking and gave one a sense of peace just by looking at her.
“Mom, this dress suits you so perfectly, you look stunning!” Gu Qingxin came over and took her mother’s hand.
“It’s still too expensive.” Lin Yin lightly tucked her daughter’s hair behind her ear.
“Not at all, I just asked them, this dress is on sale. After the discount, it’s really affordable, we’d be at a loss if we didn’t buy it.”
When Lin Yin wanted to change back, Gu Qingxin quickly told her there was no need as she had already paid for it. She then ushered her mother out of the clothing store.
Afterwards, Gu Qingxin helped her mother select some undergarments and other personal clothing. She planned to take her out for a big dinner that night.
“Qingxin, how are things between you and your boyfriend?” Lin Yin asked.
“Pretty good, he’s been quite busy, and he wanted to come and see you but hasn’t had the time.”
Gu Qingxin coyly responded, not daring to tell her mother that she had already married Beiming Han, and that they were expecting a baby.
While she understood her mother would eventually find out about her child, telling her now might shock her into a swoon.
She decided to wait for a better moment to reveal the news to her mother.
“Do not bother with that. You’re still young, you should prioritize your studies, understand?” Lin Yin advised her daughter.
“I understand,” Gu Qingxin promptly replied, relieved that her mother didn’t probe further.
After shopping, Gu Qingxin wished to take Lin Yin to a western restaurant for dinner, but Lin Yin refused, stating she wanted to eat at home. Eventually, under Gu Qingxin’s incessant persuasion, she agreed to eat at a mid-range restaurant.
The mother and daughter arrived at the restaurant laughing and enjoying each other’s company, took a seat, and Gu Qingxin ordered the food. As soon as she put down the menu, her phone rang. Upon checking, she saw it was Beiming Han calling.
Seeing the words ‘Hubby’ displayed on the screen, she couldn’t help but smile. That was the contact name she had set for him, and she’d also changed her contact name in his phone to ‘Wifey’.
“Mom, I have to take this call, could you please sit for a moment.”
“Go ahead.”
Saying this, Gu Qingxin stood up to answer the call.
Lin Yin was sipping her tea, looking out the window. Just as she intended to divert her gaze, her eyes landed on an elderly man standing beside a car. A tightness gripped her heart, and she suddenly stood up, making a swift escape towards the restroom.
Outside, Beiming Lingyun had also spotted Lin Yin. Illuminated by the bright lights of the restaurant, he had a clear view of Lin Yin, situated by the window.
