Chapter 31

The shop assistant brought out a pair of women’s sports shoes and said with a smile, “Miss, your feet are really small. They even have size 33, and digging them out wasn’t easy.”

“Not just small, but especially beautiful too!”

Xu Bin praised without any hesitation.

Yao Le’er’s face turned even redder, but her eyes were much gentler than before, tinged with a hint of moisture. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the shoes, yet she said a little shyly, “Brother, actually the other shoes are pretty nice too.”

When they passed this shop earlier, she had glanced at these shoes a few extra times. Xu Bin noticed this detail and asked if she liked them.

Yao Le’er nodded with a red face, saying the school required sports shoes for class, and this style was very popular at her school right now; she had seen many girls wearing them.

The envy in her words was impossible to hide, so Xu Bin simply pulled her into the shop.

Xu Bin said nothing, just hummed a little tune as he put disposable socks on her, then personally put the sports shoes on her and said with a smile, “Get up and walk around to see if they fit.”

Yao Le’er stood up and took a few steps, her eyes clearly filled with joy she could not suppress. Xu Bin asked with concern, “So, do they fit?”

“They’re just right!”

Yao Le’er, who had been awkward all day, gave Xu Bin a sweet smile: “Brother-in-law, you’re so good to me.”

Hearing that, all his motivation surged. Without hesitation, he swiped his card and swept through the mall, even buying slippers and sandals until Yao Le’er was a little dazed.

In the taxi home, the things were piled to one side. Xu Bin still held her hand, but this time he was not so well-behaved, stroking her delicate, tender hand.

Yao Le’er’s face flushed and she trembled slightly, letting Xu Bin touch her. At this moment, she was overjoyed, having for the first time fully indulged in the pleasure of shopping.

For her, this was definitely high spending, but Yao Le’er could not hide the unease in her heart: “Brother-in-law… you spent so much money. How are you going to explain it to Second Sister?”

“Your second sister wouldn’t dare meddle in my affairs. Don’t worry!”

Xu Bin saw her eyes soften, could not resist grabbing her small hand and kissing it, and said with a grin, “As long as my precious Le’er is happy, the money was well spent.”

Although Xu Bin was bold, he always advanced step by step and never rushed things, which made her gradually get used to more and more of these little gestures.

“You can’t tell Second Sister and Mom the price. If you do, not only will I be scolded to death, my mom might slap me a few times.”

Yao Le’er said with a petty, cautious mind.

Xu Bin grabbed her hand and kissed it again, saying with a lewd smile, “Don’t worry, between brother-in-law and his precious little sister-in-law there will only be more and more secrets, secrets that will make my darling happy and blissful.”

Brother-in-law and little sister-in-law… The driver, while driving, wore a strange expression and gave a knowing smile, which immediately made Yao Le’er too embarrassed to speak, and she glared hard at Xu Bin.

They went home first. Yao Le’er went to her room to put her things away and change clothes, preparing to go to school.

Xu Bin sprawled on the sofa in the living room and smoked with great frustration. After a whole day of flirtation, he still could not see any favorability rating, and the system’s quest had not activated either. What was going on?

What exactly was the trigger mechanism? And that side quest about apologizing with a cock in the mouth—Xu Bin roughly guessed it was that alluring young woman driving the Ferrari.

The problem was, she was said to be the boss’s wife, the wife of Zhang Zuhui, the head of Xinhui Real Estate. That man was a formidable figure who had connections in both the underworld and legitimate circles.

Inside the room, Yao Le’er looked at the shopping bags all over the floor, her mind a little blank. She gathered the receipts together and calculated on the computer—over 6,000 yuan had been spent.

Deep down she felt a secret delight, and almost all her
