Chapter 592: Shopping
Chapter 592: Shopping
Zhao Cheng Lei had an eight a.m. flight and needed to head to the airport early.
He got up at six, but Children and Jiang Xia were still asleep.
Jiang Xia always worried about Children while sleeping, waking up at the slightest noise.
When Zhao Cheng Lei sat up, she woke up too.
He gently brushed the hair from her forehead and said, "Children hasn’t woken up yet, and you don’t have class today. Go back to sleep."
Although they had gone to bed early last night, Zhao Cheng Lei had kept her up for a while, and Jiang Xia’s body still felt sore. She didn’t want to get up. "Make sure Jiang Dong drives carefully and calls when you get home. I’m taking Children to see Little Yan this afternoon. I’ll wait for your call."
"Alright." Zhao Cheng Lei leaned down to kiss her, tucking the blanket around her before getting up to wash up.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he changed into his clothes. He glanced at the sleeping Jiang Xia, then stood by the crib, checking on the three sleeping children. He felt their diapers to make sure they weren’t wet and then covered them up again before leaving the room.
Grandma and Grandpa had already gotten up and prepared breakfast.
Jiang Dong had also come over from the next courtyard.
The two of them ate breakfast together.
While eating, Zhao Cheng Lei reminded Grandma, "Grandma, when the children wake up, can you and Aunt Li help feed them and change their diapers? I’ve already warmed the water for the formula. Thanks for your help these next few days. I’ll be back the day after tomorrow."
"Don’t worry, we’ve got this! Take your time and come back when you’re done. It’s no trouble at all. These three are such easy babies to take care of; we’re just happy to have something to do."
After breakfast, the two of them set off, with Jiang Dong driving Zhao Cheng Lei to the airport.
Today, the three children seemed to know that Jiang Xia was tired and woke up later than usual, at half past seven.
When Jiang Xia woke up, she and Grandma, along with Aunt Li, fed the children and had breakfast. Then, Zhang Fuyan arrived.
Jiang Xia had planned to go shopping with Zhang Fuyan today.
She asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Zhang Fuyan took the youngest child from Grandma’s arms with a smile. "Yes! Are our little treasures full? Do you want to go out and play with Auntie?"
The youngest child grinned.
Now, whenever someone talked to them, the three children would always smile.
Jiang Xia packed some diapers, clothes, and formula, and brought a camera before heading out with Zhang Fuyan and Li Qiufeng, pushing the stroller.
Li Qiufeng only had a few outfits and wore the same ones over and over.
Jiang Xia planned to buy her a few more.
At her best age, Li Qiufeng deserved to look her best.
The three of them arrived at Wangfujing Street, and Jiang Xia spotted a women’s clothing store.
Zhang Fuyan, who loved to dress up, picked out a dress and asked Jiang Xia and Li Qiufeng, "Do you think this dress looks good?"
If they said yes, Zhang Fuyan would buy it immediately.
Jiang Xia was the same, buying whatever she liked.
She also paid attention to Li Qiufeng’s reactions, and whenever Li Qiufeng looked at a particular outfit or dress, she would buy it for her.
Jiang Xia thought Li Qiufeng would look great in them, so she bought them.
In just over half an hour, they had already bought seven outfits.
Jiang Xia bought two for herself, two dresses and three outfits for Li Qiufeng, while Zhang Fuyan bought two outfits and two dresses.
Li Qiufeng didn’t even realize Jiang Xia was buying for her.
They continued walking, pushing the children.
Jiang Xia saw a women’s lingerie store with signs for nursing bras and belly bands and suggested, "Let’s go in and take a look."
It just so happened that she also wanted to buy a few pieces of lingerie.
The three of them went in and saw Gu Yue and Dong Yan.
Gu Yue said cheerfully, "Classmate Jiang Xia, what a coincidence!"
Today, Gu Yue and Dong Yan had also come to this area for shopping, specifically to this women's lingerie boutique to buy lingerie.
Gu Yue had already spotted Jiang Xia and the two others and had intended to go up and greet her, but Dong Yan had stopped her.
She hadn’t expected them to come in as well.
Jiang Xia nodded, "What a coincidence."
Gu Yue instinctively looked at Jiang Xia’s wrist.
Sure enough, she had changed her watch again!
And this one was a Rolex!
A watch that Gu Yue could only dream of owning, let alone buying.
It was too expensive!
The cheapest one cost over a thousand yuan.
And the one on Jiang Xia’s wrist was a diamond-encrusted model!
Diamond-encrusted!
With an alligator leather strap!
Jiang Xia spotted a piece of lingerie she liked and reached out to take it.
Gu Yue got a clearer view:
The bezel and hour markers were all diamond-encrusted, looking incredibly luxurious!
It was so beautiful!
Jiang Xia’s skin was so fair that the red alligator leather strap made her look even more radiant.
Gu Yue had never seen this model on the counter before.
It must have been bought on the black market or brought back from abroad.
It would definitely cost more than five thousand yuan, probably even tens of thousands.
Jiang Xia said to Li Qiufeng, "Cousin, you should pick a few pieces too."
Li Qiufeng blushed at the sight of the lingerie and shook her head, "I don’t need to."
Her bras were all old-fashioned styles.
"But I’ll pick some for you. I’m not sure if they’ll fit, but you can’t try them on here."
Zhang Fuyan also picked up a piece of lingerie. Her figure wasn’t as good as Jiang Xia’s, so she chose a style suitable for smaller chests.
She said to Li Qiufeng, "Xia Xia’s figure is too perfect; she doesn’t understand what we need. I think your figure is similar to mine, so this style should fit you well."
She took two pieces and handed one to Li Qiufeng.
Gu Yue noticed the watch on Zhang Fuyan’s wrist.
It was also a Rolex!
And it was exactly the same model as Jiang Xia’s!
Both were bought by Jiang Dong.
When Jiang Dong bought gifts for Zhang Fuyan, he never forgot his sister.
Now, whenever he bought something, he bought two identical items, either the same or just a different color.
Gu Yue instinctively hid her wrist, suddenly feeling that her hundred-yuan watch was too cheap.
Li Qiufeng blushed and felt hot all over when Zhang Fuyan handed her the lingerie, "I don’t need it. I don’t wear this kind, I wear the old-fashioned ones."
Jiang Xia looked over and saw the old-fashioned bra, "Those don’t provide enough support, and wearing them for too long can lead to sagging."
Zhang Fuyan said with a sigh, "Those are the ones that risk sagging. We can’t even let ours sag if we wanted to!"
Li Qiufeng nodded vigorously.
Jiang Xia: "…"
"Then you pick for yourselves?" Jiang Xia had never had to worry about being too small; her problem was always being too big.
Before having the children, it wasn’t as bad, but now it was a constant worry. The bras of this era didn’t provide enough support, and there were no styles that made big breasts look smaller.
She was always bothered by this when she rode her bicycle.
Zhang Fuyan nodded, "We’ll pick for ourselves! You don’t understand!"
Once, when she hugged Jiang Xia, she felt so soft and almost suffocated!
That’s when she realized how big the gap was between them!
She was so envious!
Jiang Xia could feed three children, and she was worried her own children would go hungry!
She wondered if the genetic traits of multiple births were passed down to males?
If Jiang Dong had the same ability…
Zhang Fuyan quickly stopped herself, wondering why she was thinking so far ahead.
Gu Yue overheard their conversation and glanced at Jiang Xia.
"…"
She was also small!
Dong Yan’s eyes flashed with disdain, thinking it was shameful to discuss such things in public!
She picked out two pieces of lingerie and was about to pay, but then she glanced at Jiang Xia’s.
She looked at her own, which seemed to be at least one size smaller, and silently put them back.
