In this way, Shu Rao was embarrassed to refuse again, otherwise she would feel like she was not giving him face, but she was still a little uncomfortable. Anyway, going shopping with a man whom she had only met a few times in total, and who could be counted on one finger, seemed like
It's a bit weird, and they get nervous every time they meet. I hope today will go smoothly.
"Okay." She nodded shyly.
Lou Yi also smiled happily, and then looked at the road conditions. Although he was not as familiar with Yunchuan as Beijing, he had been there a few times, so he was not very unfamiliar. He looked at where they were at the moment, and how far away from the city center they were.
The pedestrian street is not very far.
"Then let's go to the pedestrian street and have a look?" he asked.
Shu Rao nodded again, "Okay."
The little devil was so happy that he took Shu Rao's hand and ran forward, "Let's go, let's go!"
But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped. He felt something was wrong. He frowned and said, "Oh, you can't ignore dad! Shopping is not the purpose, but getting him and Niuer together is the real thing!"
She quickly stretched out her other hand and held Lou Yi, "Dad, hurry up!"
So the three people formed a family pattern, with Shu Rao and Lou Yi walking on both sides, and the little devil walking in the middle.
At this time, there are more pedestrians on the street, coming and going. Anyone who sees this looks like a happy family of three, especially the man who is tall and handsome, the woman who is charming, and the little girl who looks like an elf.
It could be on the cover of a magazine! Passersby are paying attention.
Oh, it feels so good to have a beautiful mother! The strangers on the road are envious of her, so the group of children in their compound are not jealous of her to death? Haha, go your own way and make others jealous! Little one
The devil was feeling pretty in his heart. He raised his little chin and smiled frequently at passers-by, which attracted many envious looks. Unfortunately, she didn't have a tail, otherwise she would definitely fly up to the sky!
Crossing a road and turning a corner, there is a pedestrian street. There are several shops on the street selling women's clothing. Shu Rao wants to buy one quickly and be done with it, but Lou Yi doesn't seem to have the intention to go inside and looks sideways.
Opposite are the shopping malls, Wangfujing Department Store, and Printemps.
Shu Rao immediately felt uneasy. She didn't have to go to such an expensive place. It turned out that she bought the dress online and it only cost more than a hundred yuan including shipping. She didn't have to go to Wangfujing or anything like that!
So he paused and called Lou Yi uneasily, "Uh... that... Lou... chief of staff?"
Hearing this title, Lou Yi couldn't help but be startled, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said gently, "Miss Shu, you don't have to be so polite, and I'm not wearing a military uniform today, just call me by my name."
"Then... don't call me Miss Shu. Just call me Shu Rao." Shu Rao said with some embarrassment. They weren't very familiar with each other, but it was indeed a bit strange to call me Mr. Lou outside.
She was not allowed to call the chief of staff, so she had no choice but to let nature take its course.
Lou Yi nodded, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of spring in Paris, "Should we go there for a stroll?"
"Okay, let's go!" the little devil answered first.
Shu Rao twitched her lips and had no choice but to follow.
As soon as you enter the shopping mall, you will be greeted by the tantalizing aroma. The first floor is where cosmetics are sold. Various international brands are displayed one after another. The smell of perfume is stronger than the last.
"Wow, Chanel No. 5!" the little devil pointed at the Chanel counter and shouted, turning to look at Shu Rao again, "Girl, have you ever used that?"
"No." Shu Rao shook his head. She couldn't afford such an expensive one. Besides, she didn't like it. There were only a few people who really knew how to perfume, but most of them were just arty.
The little devil grinned and said, "I haven't used it either. I've only used Liushen toilet water! I used it secretly! When summer comes, the mosquitoes in my grandfather's house get much more common! But he said, soldiers
The aristocratic family is not so particular. The revolutionary martyrs used to cross the grass. There were so many mosquitoes, and..." After a pause, she made a gesture, "They are all so big! One bite is a big bag!"
Shu Rao couldn't help but want to laugh. It seemed that this little devil was being controlled at home. He was not allowed to use the bugle when he got up in the morning and was not allowed to use toilet water. It was really miserable!
Lou Yi glared at the little devil, if you didn't go to the vegetable garden in the backyard, how could there be so many mosquitoes?
"Xinxin, let's go to the second floor!"
The little devil then restrained himself, took Shu Rao's hand and ran towards the elevator.
The second floor is the women's clothing department, which is also full of big-name brands. Shu Rao glanced over and could hardly find any brands with Chinese characters. They were all in English and Latin.
She couldn't help but have a headache. Just buy a vest here for more than a hundred yuan!
After walking around, she just took a look and had no idea of buying anything at all. However, the little devil was quite excited. He said this one looked good and that one looked good, and always asked Lou Yi for his opinion.
Lou Yi saw that Shu Rao didn't seem to be interested, frowned slightly and asked, "Don't you like it?"
Shu Rao smiled awkwardly, "Let's take a look again." Let's see if there is anything cheaper!
So the three of them got on the elevator again and headed to the third floor.
The situation on the third floor was not much better. Each one was still more expensive than the last one. Shu Rao thought about how to say something, leave here, and then go to the small shop outside to buy something casually.
The little devil's eyes were like radar. He searched around and suddenly his eyes lit up!
Next to an English counter was a mannequin. The model was wearing a very beautiful off-white dress, with the words "Don't touch me" pinned on it.
"Girl, that one!" She grabbed Shu Rao's hand and ran over.
Shu Rao looked at the dress, it was indeed quite good, but she was more concerned about the price. She glanced at the price tag, it was more than 700!
She couldn't help but shake her head, no, no, it's too expensive!
But the little devil directly called the clerk, "Auntie, could you please find a set for me to try?"
The shop assistants were a little reluctant to talk to them. It seemed like they wouldn't buy it. It's been a month since the clothes arrived, but not a single one has been sold!
The little devil frowned and became unhappy. He muttered to Shu Rao, "It's not like we can't afford it!"
Shu Rao tugged her lips. More than 700 yuan is a bit expensive, but it's not unaffordable. Besides, what if you can't afford it? Everyone has a love for beauty. Why don't you appreciate the head office? The clerk is so powerful.
, especially in front of children, I don’t know how to restrain myself, it’s really a bit too much!
In order not to hurt the little devil's heart, she decided to try it! Anyway, she didn't have to buy it!
"Excuse me, I'm 170cm tall, please help me find a suitable size." Shu Rao forced out a smile and said to the clerk.
Although the clerk was reluctant, she could not refuse the customer and said stiffly, "Okay, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the counter to pick up the goods.
The little devil was immediately relieved and gave a thumbs up to Shu Rao, "Girl, you are so awesome! I must buy it later!"
Shu Rao touched her furry little head and said nothing. She had no intention of buying it!
Not long after, the clerk brought another set of clothes and said to Shu Rao, "Please come to the fitting room."
Shu Rao nodded and pulled the little devil with him.
Lou Yi followed them, but always at a distance, so the clerk didn't notice that they were together. When Shu Rao and the little devil entered the fitting room, they couldn't help but show contempt.
Lou Yi's eyes tightened slightly and he walked towards the counter unhurriedly. The clerk saw that he was very impressive and immediately put on a smile and said, "Sir, welcome to the xxx brand..." a long string of English words.
"I'm waiting for someone." Lou Yi ignored her and went to the small sofa outside the fitting room to wait.
The clerk was immediately dumbfounded and too embarrassed to speak.
In the fitting room, the little devil's admiration came from time to time, "Girl, you look so good in this! This dress is tailor-made for you!"
Shu Rao couldn't help but feel a headache, and lowered his voice and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm just giving it a try."
"Girl, buy it, buy it! It looks really good on you, it looks invincible!"
"I won't buy it if it looks good! It's flashy! How can it be worth more than 700?"
Lou Yi stood up, walked towards the mannequin at the door, glanced at the price tag, couldn't help but smile, and suddenly understood something, turned around and called the clerk, and said in a deep voice, "Swipe your card first!"
The clerk was flattered, and her attitude changed 180 degrees. Lou Yi still looked handsome, so she just took out the card, swiped it, and the receipt was printed. The amount shown on it was 768 pounds, which is equivalent to 7680 yuan.
.
After a while, the door of the fitting room opened, and Shu Rao changed back into her original clothes. The little devil looked frustrated. Lou Yi rubbed her little head and said to the clerk, "Wrap it up!"
"Okay, okay!" The clerk acted immediately.
Shu Raocuo was stunned and quickly wanted to say no, but Lou Yi said, "I've already paid."
ah?
Shu Rao was speechless.
But the little devil jumped up all of a sudden, "Dad, you are so fast!"
But Shu Rao couldn't help having a headache, and felt weird in her heart. This man looked gentle and elegant, but he was neat and tidy in doing things, and he spent money vigorously and resolutely! But what could she do? She took hundreds of thousands of dollars for no reason.
What a bargain! How about... treat them to a meal later?

On the other side, Lou Xi and Ye Xingchen were about to leave the burn hospital, and Jing Sa got up to see them off.
Lou Xi saw that she looked very tired, so he warned her, "Jing Sa, you should also pay more attention to your health. Auntie only has you now."
Jing Sa nodded, "I know."
Ye Xingchen bit his lip slightly and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know how to speak.
She could tell that Jing Sa felt embarrassed about the drunk driving incident last time. With her knowledge and cultivation, she might not have been so rude before. It was probably the first time in her life, and it was with her as a "love rival"
Of course, it was very embarrassing in front of me, but it was very gratifying to see that she seemed to have regretted it. At least she would not drive drunk again in the future.
As for the Jing family's affairs, she didn't know much about it, and Jing Sa probably didn't want her to know too much, so she just hoped that Jing Sa would be stronger. After all, she still had a mother to take care of.
Lou Xi opened the door of the ward and walked into the corridor, followed by Ye Xingchen. Jing Sa stood at the door of the ward and said softly, "You can't leave people in the ward, so I won't send you downstairs."
Ye Xingchen's heart tightened, Jing Sa was having a hard time, he was alone in Yunchuan, he had just returned home not long ago, and he didn't even have a friend who could help him.
Lou Xi was silent and said in a deep voice, "I'm about to start a month of closed training. If you have anything, try to find help from colleagues or something."
Ye Xingchen opened his lips and hesitated, but still said, "You can also come to me."
"Okay." Jing Sa nodded.
Lou Xi looked down at Sisi in his arms and asked her to say goodbye to Jing Sa. The little girl was very well-behaved and waved her little hand and said, "Goodbye, aunt!"
"goodbye."
Lou Xi hugged Sisi and turned to leave. Ye Xingchen quickly followed. The elevator came quickly and took them downstairs quickly.
Jing Sa returned to the ward, looked at the basket of fruits, and let out a long sigh of relief.

After leaving the burn hospital, Lou Xi looked at his watch. There was still some time before he could return to the army, so he still had time.
When the car started, he turned around and it was not going home. Ye Xingchen couldn't help but wonder, "Where are you going?"
"Go and look at the car. Don't you want to buy a car?"
Ye Xingchen nodded. Although she hadn't taken the driver's license test yet, many cars were out of stock and had to be booked in advance. Order them now. When she takes the driver's license test, she can pick up the car, and today is the last day of the auto show.
, it’s still on sale!
However, her budget needs to be re-evaluated. She originally planned to buy one worth around 100,000 yuan, but if Rao Rao wants to open a store, she will definitely need to support her, so she will buy one worth around 50,000 yuan first. It’s just a mobility scooter anyway.
As a newbie, there is no need to buy something too good.
Lou Xi glanced at her deeply, said nothing, and drove forward.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the auto show. As expected, there was a huge crowd. Many people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to buy cars, and the salesperson was extremely busy.
Lou Xi did not ask the salesperson for consultation, but held Sisi in one hand and held Ye Xingchen's hand in the other, and walked directly to the booth. The booth was divided into several areas, divided by brand, and then arranged by price, with a dazzling array of products.
Ye Xingchen took a look and felt that there were not many cars worth around 50,000 yuan, and they were located relatively far away, so she couldn't help but walk in that direction.
"This way!" Lou Xi suddenly said in a deep voice, holding her hand with a little force.
Ye Xingchen was slightly startled. He followed his gaze and saw Beetle's booth. Several unique cars were parked on it, which was very dazzling.
She checked online and found that Beetle is very suitable for women to drive. It has good performance and good quality, but the price is also very good. Each model costs two to three hundred thousand! Well, it is too expensive!
"Have you brought the card?" Lou Xi suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Ye Xingchen nodded. She only had one card, which was the one he gave her when she got married. She used it when renovating the house. There were five hundred thousand in the card. She was shocked at the time. He
After buying the house, he still had half a million left! Although he was a lieutenant colonel with two bars and two stars, and the treatment of the special brigade was better than that of other troops, it was not that good, right? But she couldn't ask more questions about the situation at that time.
I just calculated more carefully during the renovation and saved what I could. After the renovation, I bought various furniture and electrical appliances for a total of 190,000 yuan. After that, the card was never touched again.
Already.
So...he wants to use the remaining 310,000 now?
No, no, that money can't be spent carelessly! It must be kept for Sisi, and he also has to support Dorje's mother, as well as several other comrades who often have to take care of their homes, so this money must not be touched arbitrarily!
Lou Xi looked at her suspiciously and asked, "You haven't used that card for such a long time?"
"No." It's enough for her to spend money if she has a salary, and she also has a bankbook.
Lou Xi couldn't help but have a headache. It turned out that she had been the breadwinner of the family for so long!
Ye Xingchen blinked. He didn't know what he was depressed about. Is there something wrong?
"Follow me!" Lou Xi suddenly pulled her to the ATM nearby and ordered, "Take out the card and check the balance!"
"There are still 310,000!" She knew without checking.
"Check it quickly!" he said impatiently.
Ye Xingchen bit his lip slightly, slowly took out his wallet, pulled out the card, and stuffed it in.
After following the steps for a few times, the balance showed - more than 1.5 million!
Her eyes widened. Was there something wrong with the system?
I checked the records again and found that from the time they got married until now, a sum of 200,000 yuan has been remitted every month!
"How...do you have so much money?" She breathed heavily and looked at him with worried eyes.
Lou Xi had a headache. Did she think he had done something illegal?
"What are you thinking about?" He couldn't help but flick her forehead and said with a chuckle, "Lou Yi and I opened a bar in Beijing. We probably make several million a year. We split it 50-50."
ah?
Ye Xingchen was shocked.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and buy a car!" Lou Xi became impatient.
Ye Xingchen was completely at a loss. In the end, Lou Xi decided to buy Beetle's flagship model of the season, candy white. Sisi fell in love with it at first sight. Lou Xi insisted on sitting in it during the test drive, and the little girl smiled happily.
.
I paid a deposit on the spot and picked up the car 30-40 days later. It also came with one year of insurance and a fuel card.
Everything is ready, all you need is your driver's license.
The corner of Ye Xingchen's mouth twitched slightly, she was so stressed!
