Chapter 572 Women Ye Shao Doesn't Dislike
It was rare for Zi Yisheng and Ye Muen to share a meal at the same table. Ye Muen's lack of worry about Saturday's events piqued Zi Yisheng's curiosity, but he held back his questions with the children present.
Ye Muen, however, was perceptive and wore a triumphant smile, eager to tease them. "Uncle, can you take me shopping for a new dress on the weekend?" Little Mi'er sweetly smiled and served her uncle, her efforts to please him vividly displayed.
"What's so difficult about that? Don't tell me you're tired of your current dresses?"
"Heh heh, my uncle understands me best. How can a girl wear the same dress many times? Grandma and Mom have so many beautiful clothes, and they rarely wear the same ones. My clothes are the fewest."
Ye Muen tapped Little Mi'er's forehead. It would be hard to compete with the fashionistas at home. In his past life, even if his sister couldn't go out, new arrivals would flood their home every season, as she was the sole treasure. Even his sister's space contained enough clothes for lifetimes.
"Then Uncle will work hard to help you achieve this goal."
"Uncle is the best, and my six other uncles are also the best, as are my grandma and grandaunts..."
"Alright, alright, you want to be adorned like a little princess and still not be satisfied."
Zi Yisheng also wanted to set some boundaries in this regard, but the children were too doted upon. To this day, he hadn't had a chance to buy a single piece of clothing for them.
"Dad, you don't need to be sad. I know you're very poor, so I won't let you buy anything."
"Pfft~~ Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard of Young Master Zi being poor. The most official certification should be true, right?"
Zi Yisheng was speechless. He was indeed poor, so poor that he didn't have a single dollar on him every day. It was good that his wife managed the finances.
After the children finished eating and went out to play, Zi Yisheng finally spoke, but Ye Muen mysteriously refused to answer.
"Just wait for good news. I won't disappoint you."
"So confident? Don't forget that our mother will be back. In ancient times, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law found it hard to get along."
"Heh heh, that's because you don't understand our mother enough. As long as I don't bring back a man, she'll greet me with a smile."
Zi Yisheng raised an eyebrow. It seemed this time he was truly confident.
"Fine, then I congratulate you in advance on finding the girl you fancy."
"Thank you. It's time to settle down."
Zi Yisheng glanced at him, always feeling that this fellow wasn't up to any good.
Saturday arrived quickly. Early in the morning, Little Mi'er was by her uncle's bedside, poking his nostrils with a chicken feather.
"Oh dear, my little ancestor, it's only seven o'clock. The mall isn't even open yet. It's rare for Uncle to have a day off from waking up early. Can't you let me sleep a little longer?" He then pulled Little Mi'er into his arms and continued to sleep.
"Mom said to sleep early and wake up early. Also, after Uncle eats and takes his medicine, the mall will be open."
Little Mi'er simply wouldn't let him sleep. Ye Muen reluctantly opened his eyes and directly messed up her hair.
"Ah~ my beautiful pigtails! Uncle is a big bad guy."
After shouting, she ran away. Ye Muen smiled and dozed off for a while longer. The little girl was most concerned about her appearance, just like her maternal grandmother.
By eight-thirty in the summer, the sun was already blazing. Ye Muen drove the three children out. How could he buy only one gift?
Once in the store, Little Mi'er was like a fish in water, knowing exactly where everything was sold.
"Go ahead, buy whatever you want. Uncle will pay. It's a good way to spend my salary."
As Ye Muen passed the women's clothing section, he suddenly stopped. Thinking of Qu Huanhuan's simple attire, he realized he should probably prepare clothes for her too.
When he saw a goose-yellow one-piece dress, he felt it would be perfect for Qu Huanhuan, like a sunflower, growing towards the sun with vibrant energy.
"Get a small size of this dress, and a pair of white flat leather shoes in size 36."
Why could Ye Muen clearly know the size of someone he had only met once? It was all thanks to Mother Ye's training. To make his sister happy, she frequently reminded him to bring gifts home. Over time, he became familiar with women's clothing sizes.
"The one-piece dress is the latest arrival, priced at four hundred and eighty-eight yuan. For the shoes, I've chosen the best brand for you, six hundred and ninety-nine yuan."
"Mm, pack them up."
After buying gifts for the three children, it was already ten o'clock. He sent them home and then headed to the pre-arranged alley entrance. Ye Muen was afraid that parking his car nearby might have a negative impact on Qu Huanhuan, so he carried the two bags and walked over.
He waited for half an hour in the vicinity before the protagonist appeared. As he had imagined, she was wearing a simple shirt, trousers, and cloth shoes. This was probably the best outfit she had.
"Qu Huanhuan, over here!"
Qu Huanhuan looked towards the distance, shielding her eyes from the sun. Tsk tsk tsk, what a incredibly handsome man.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just arrived. This is a gift for you."
Ye Muen handed out the bag, but seeing Qu Huanhuan's surprised and confused expression, he quickly explained.
"I don't have any ulterior motives. I just happened to see it and thought it suited you, so I bought it on impulse."
"Pfft~~ I didn't think too much of it either. You've spent too much. Don't worry, I'll perform very well today."
"Mm, just do your best."
"Then wait for me for a bit, I'll be quick."
Ye Muen smiled as he watched the girl run, her ponytail swaying. It turned out not all strangers were disliked.
When Qu Huanhuan appeared before him as if transformed, he found her very pleasing to the eye. After all, with such a dazzling predecessor, it was hard to be amazed again.
"You look very good."
"Thank you. Was the dress you bought very expensive?"
"Not too bad. What's important is that it suits you."
"Hahahaha, I was just asking."
Ye Muen smiled helplessly. This girl was truly lively. He wondered if his sister could handle her.
As they walked to the car, Qu Huanhuan instantly understood Ye Muen's thoughtfulness.
"Thank you."
This time, Ye Muen was momentarily stunned. Qu Huanhuan pointed at the car.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was asking for your help, so I shouldn't be causing you any more trouble."
Getting into the car, this was Qu Huanhuan's first time in a car. She was very curious and didn't suppress it, looking around but not touching anything.
"Ye Muen, tell me about the things I need to pay attention to first. Aren't there usually many rules in wealthy families? I want to do business with you long-term, and I can't ruin it all with one mistake."
Ye Muen took a deep breath and gave Qu Huanhuan a thumbs-up for her frankness. Good, he was indeed lucky to have found a professional "girlfriend."
"Our family has no rules. It's a very peaceful and loving family. Especially my sister, she's the one who organized today's gathering. She's a perfect and gentle person, but she's not in good health. As long as you don't agitate her, it's fine."
