Mo Yesi nodded. “Mm, don’t you wish to do that?”
Qiao Mianmian teased. “Aren’t you afraid that I max out your card?”
“If you have such an ability,” the man smiled, “I’d be full of admiration.”
Qiao Mianmian was speechless.
What should she do? Now that she was married to a man who wasn’t afraid of his wife being a spendthrift, and rather, encouraged it?
“Mo Yesi…” Qiao Mianmian rubbed her temple for a bit and said helplessly, “I really have nothing else that I want to buy. If I think of something, I’ll let you know. How about that?”
She finally realized.
Mo Yesi really just wanted her to spend more.
It seemed like the three bags was just an ordinary purchase.
And that he felt that she was… too frugal?
She’d married such a rich husband, but she still hadn’t quite understood their concept of spending.
Mo Yesi looked at her skeptically. “You really don’t want anything else?”
Qiao Mianmian thought about it. “Not at the moment…”
“You don’t have to save money for me.”
“… I know that.”
“Alright.” Mo Yesi looked at her for a while more, unsure whether to take her word for it. He eventually nodded and said, “Since you don’t want to shop anymore, let’s leave. But if you have anything you’d like to get in the future, you have to let me know.”
He paused before adding, “I’ll get it for you.”
Qiao Mianmian simply said, “… Alright.”
Mo Yesi looked at the time and felt that they could still catch a movie.
There was a movie theater downstairs.
When they got into the elevator, he pressed the button to level the theater was on.
Qiao Mianmian was shocked that they were going downstairs. “Aren’t we going home? What else are you intending to get?”
Mo Yesi pressed on the button for the sixth floor.
He evidently wasn’t heading home.
Mo Yesi said, “It’s still early, and we’re not in a rush to leave. Is there any movie you want to watch? We can go for it.”
“Watch a movie?”
“Yes.”
Qiao Mianmian was surprised.
She’d never thought that Mo Yesi would think of taking her to the movies.
Alright, then.
She and Su Ze used to go to the movies too when they were on dates.
In fact, this was a common activity for most couples.
She was shocked and surprised because she never expected Mo Yesi to date like an ordinary person.
Hence, she’d never even thought that he’d think of this one day.
She felt that rich people like him would probably dine at high-end restaurants, and then go to an art gallery or listen to an orchestra or the like.
In any case, she expected it to be out of the norm and less comfortable for her.
Places like movie theaters…
Seemed too “simple” for him.
“Why did you suddenly think of watching a movie with me?” Qiao Mianmian was genuinely curious.
“Qiao Mianmian.” Mo Yesi called her gently.
“Mm?”
“We’ve never gone on a proper date, have we?”
Qiao Mianmian was taken aback. “… I guess so.”
They hadn’t even dated at all when they got married.
There wasn’t such a process or experience.
“So, this is our first date. We eat, watch a movie, shop… isn’t this what most people do?”
“Mm, I guess.”
“Then we’ll date this way too.”
There was no response.
“I’m sorry. All of this might be a little late now, but I’m trying to make up for it.”
