The words of his future mother-in-law struck Qin Tian like lightning, his eyes losing their sparkle, turning him into a faded sculpture.
"I'll go find the largest size at the back!"
Tang Xiuxia said with a smile, then eagerly went to the back warehouse to look for clothes.
"Hee hee..."
Xia Nuannuan giggled like a triumphant little fox, her eyes curving as she said, "Qin Tian, don't be scared, it's just wearing a dress, it'll be fine!"
Not far away, Su Xia suddenly turned her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, clearly struggling to suppress her laughter.
"Nuannuan, you can't do this to me!"
Qin Tian snapped back to reality, his face a picture of pathetic pleading as he looked at her.
Xia Nuannuan's bright eyes darted around, and she pretended not to hear him, shouting inside, "Aunt Tang, get a size that fits me for this blue dress too!"
"Okay!"
Tang Xiuxia's loud reply came from inside.
"Um... I need to go to the restroom!"
Qin Tian said abruptly, making as if to turn and flee.
However, his wrist was immediately grabbed by Xia Nuannuan, who had been prepared.
"Nuannuan, I really need to go to the toilet, I can't hold it."
Qin Tian said with a pained expression.
At this critical moment, he couldn't afford to worry about his pride.
"Don't pretend. If you need to go, go after you change."
Xia Nuannuan said with a sly smile.
"Alas!"
Qin Tian sighed with the resignation of the utterly defeated.
A moment later, Tang Xiuxia emerged from the small back warehouse, holding two sets of clothes.
One was a blue dress, and the other was a black skirt in the largest size, paired with a white t-shirt.
"Who wants to change first?"
Tang Xiuxia asked seriously, forcing herself to suppress a smile.
Xia Nuannuan glanced at Qin Tian beside her and said with a sweet smile, "I'll go first then!"
Qin Tian's eyes lit up, only to hear Xia Nuannuan add, "Aunt Tang, please hold him for me, don't let him run away!"
"Alright, Nuannuan, you can rest assured, he won't escape!"
Tang Xiuxia nodded with a face full of smiles.
"Mom..."
Qin Tian almost couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xia Nuannuan took the dress meant for her and went lightly towards the fitting room.
"Here, take it yourself!"
Tang Xiuxia handed the skirt and t-shirt to her son.
Qin Tian's mouth twitched a few times, and he asked with a dark expression, "Can't I not take it?"
"What do you think? Don't struggle, hurry up. You'll change after Nuannuan comes out!"
"Mom, I'm your biological son, not something found in a trash can, am I?"
"You are my biological son, which is why you need to cooperate. Nuannuan has already agreed to help, and you're still complaining?"
Tang Xiuxia said, then forcibly stuffed the skirt and t-shirt into his hands.
"How come I feel like I was picked up?"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, I'll wear it then!"
Qin Tian compromised with annoyance.
Life is like that, if you can't resist, then...
Pah!
He would never enjoy this thing!
"Don't even think about running, if you do, think about the consequences!"
Tang Xiuxia warned him, then turned to Su Xia and whispered in her ear.
"Sister, is your phone camera good?"
"It's alright, why?"
"Take more photos later!"
"Understood, no problem!"
The two mothers showed similar knowing smiles on their faces.
Then, Xia Nuannuan, dressed in her blue battle attire, emerged from the fitting room.
"Wow!"
Tang Xiuxia's eyes widened, and she exclaimed involuntarily.
She had already seen it clearly: her future daughter-in-law had a top-notch figure and appearance.
Now, wearing this blue dress, her curves, which surpassed most women, were perfectly displayed, making her even more captivating.
"How... how is it?"
Xia Nuannuan's delicate and pretty face was flushed, and she asked shyly.
"Nuannuan, this dress truly lives up to being designed with you as the model, it's absolutely beautiful!"
Tang Xiuxia praised her without reservation.
"It is indeed quite pretty, and it really accentuates your figure!"
Su Xia beside her smiled gently and nodded in agreement.
Xia Nuannuan smiled happily, her gaze turning to Qin Tian, who was staring at her somewhat dazedly.
Her face turned even redder, her heart filled with sweetness and satisfaction, and she asked knowingly, "Wh-why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nuannuan, I'm having some regrets?"
Qin Tian suddenly said.
Xia Nuannuan paused, then smiled and said, "It's too late to regret it. I've already put it on, and you have to wear it too."
"That's not what I meant!"
Qin Tian shook his head, hesitating to speak.
"Hmm?"
Xia Nuannuan looked puzzled.
"Little Qin means, you look so beautiful in this dress that he doesn't want anyone else to see you!"
Su Xia said with a beaming smile, helping to explain.
Xia Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks instantly flushed, and she lowered her head, her face completely red.
"This little rascal, so possessive at such a young age!"
Tang Xiuxia glared at her son exasperatedly, then looked at Xia Nuannuan with a smile and said, "Nuannuan, don't mind him!"
Xia Nuannuan responded with a sound like a mosquito's hum, her ears completely red.
"Little Tian, hurry up, it's your turn to change."
Tang Xiuxia nudged her son.
Qin Tian cast a resentful glance at his mother, then looked down at the skirt and t-shirt in his hands, regretting it even more.
What kind of stupid idea had he come up with!
"Don't dawdle, hurry up, customers will be coming in soon."
Seeing him standing there motionless, Tang Xiuxia walked behind him and pushed him towards the fitting room.
"Mom... dresses and things, I really don't know how to wear them!"
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't know how, ask us, we're all outside."
"Mom, why don't we just forget it? If any acquaintances see me, I'll have no face to see them later."
"It's okay, it's just us here, no acquaintances will see."
"Impossible, Yucheng is so small, there are so many people shopping at the mall."
"Can you be more decisive? Go on!"
Tang Xiuxia pushed him into the fitting room and then shut the door, urging, "Hurry up and put it on, don't be slow about it!"
Qin Tian sat on the chair with a weary heart, his face dark, and remained silent.
Outside the fitting room, Tang Xiuxia circled Xia Nuannuan, looking her up and down carefully, praising her with a radiant smile.
While Xia Nuannuan was feeling shy, her heart was actually jumping with joy.
After all, this was the first piece of clothing Qin Tian had designed with her as the model, and it was a very happy thing that it fit her so well.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
A gasp of admiration sounded.
The three of them looked to see two young girls entering the small shop, looking at Xia Nuannuan with surprise.
"Welcome!"
Tang Xiuxia greeted them with a warm smile.
"Boss, this dress in your shop is so pretty!"
One of the girls said with a smile.
"This is one of our main dresses for today, and it's very popular in Jiangcheng. It's usually hard to get stock here!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, you can take a look at other styles in the shop. They are all from a clothing company in Jiangcheng. My son has a very good relationship with the boss of this clothing company, which is how I managed to get these good clothes."
Tang Xiuxia said with a smile, actively playing the role of the clothing store owner.
