Liu Yifeng, upon hearing that these clothes cost over ten thousand yuan, felt embarrassed to let Su Wanru pay. She had already helped him so much recently, and now she was treating him to dinner. How could he let her spend so much money on clothes for Tongtong!
He immediately took out his bank card, intending to let the staff swipe his card.
But his card didn't reach the staff member's hand before Su Wanru snatched it. "We agreed I would buy clothes for Tongtong. If you pay, won't it seem like I'm deceiving Tongtong? Keep this card yourself, I'll pay!" With that, she pulled out a bank card from her bag and handed it to the staff.
The staff member swiped it on the POS machine and asked Su Wanru to enter her password.
Su Wanru entered her password without hesitation, and then the POS machine printed a long receipt.
"Here is your bank card and receipt, please keep them safe!" The staff member handed everything to Su Wanru.
Su Wanru took them and immediately asked, "Can you send these items to my place?"
"Certainly, please give me your address, and I'll have someone from the mall deliver them to you later!" The staff member nodded in agreement.
Su Wanru then wrote her address on a piece of paper: "Please send them later. I'll be home alone, so if you come too early, I won't be there."
"May I ask what time would be convenient?"
Su Wanru looked at the time on her expensive watch and said, "Around eight or nine o'clock!"
"Alright, I'll call you again to confirm before delivery."
After agreeing, Su Wanru turned and returned Liu Yifeng's card to him. Knowing what he was thinking, she said, "If you really feel bad about it, I'm out of perfume. You can buy me a bottle of perfume."
Liu Yifeng thought this was a good idea and immediately nodded, "Okay, let's go buy perfume now!"
"What, you're so eager to return my favor, you want to distance yourself from me that badly?" Su Wanru asked displeasured.
Liu Yifeng felt a headache coming on. No matter what he did or said, this woman could twist his intentions.
Seeing Liu Yifeng's speechless expression, Su Wanru couldn't help but laugh, "Look at you, I was just joking. Come on, let's go buy perfume!"
With that, she took Tongtong's hand and walked towards the perfume counter. Her confident demeanor suggested she wasn't a stranger to this place.
In a short while, they arrived at the perfume store.
From a distance, Liu Yifeng could smell the mixture of various perfumes. The scent was a bit overpowering to him, yet Su Wanru seemed to be enjoying it.
No wonder women have an innate weakness for perfume.
However, when he was with Su Wanru usually, he never noticed her wearing a strong perfume.
"Welcome, Miss Su. Would you like the same perfume you purchased last time?" A staff member spotted Su Wanru and immediately walked to the entrance to greet her.
Seeing Tongtong holding her hand and Liu Yifeng beside her, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss Su, is this your son and husband? They are so good-looking!"
Normally, anyone would be unhappy to be mistaken like this, but Su Wanru didn't seem offended; in fact, she liked being misunderstood.
However, on the surface, she maintained a poker face: "You're mistaken, this is my friend's child!"
"I'm sorry, I thought..." The staff member apologized profusely.
But Su Wanru didn't want to dwell on the matter, or perhaps she was afraid Liu Yifeng would rush to clarify their relationship, so she changed the subject.
"This time, I'd like a more concentrated scent, but not too stimulating. Do you have any recommendations?"
The staff member walked to the counter, took out a bottle of perfume, and began to introduce it earnestly.
Liu Yifeng, listening to the staff member's detailed explanations and professional jargon, had no interest.
He found a seat and had Tongtong sit beside him. They, father and son, shouldn't get involved; they just needed to pay later.
After the introduction, the staff member sprayed the perfume into the air for Su Wanru to smell.
Su Wanru smelled it and felt it was quite nice, but she wanted Liu Yifeng's opinion. She turned to look at Liu Yifeng, who was slouched on the sofa, which reminded her of husbands patiently accompanying their wives shopping.
However, she wasn't annoyed. Instead, she asked Liu Yifeng to come over for his input, to see which perfume scent he preferred.
Reluctantly, Liu Yifeng walked to the counter, and the staff member presented two perfumes for him to smell.
"I think both of these perfumes are good. Which one do you think is better? I'll take your advice!" Su Wanru said.
"This one has a lavender scent, known for its calming properties. This one is rose-scented, requiring over a thousand rosebuds to produce one bottle of perfume. Moreover, this perfume's scent is not too strong nor too light; those who smell it can feel its passion..."
Before the staff member could finish, Liu Yifeng immediately gave his answer: "Children make choices. I'll take both bottles."
Su Wanru immediately stopped him, "Why buy so much? One bottle of perfume lasts me more than half a year!"
The main reason was that the perfume here was not cheap, and she didn't want Liu Yifeng to end up footing the bill in the end.
But Liu Yifeng felt that considering all the help Su Wanru had given him and her care for Tongtong, buying two bottles of perfume wouldn't be enough to repay her kindness.
"Perfume can be sprayed not only on oneself but also in the bathroom, car, and closet. There's no need to worry about not using it up!"
"Using perfume from here in the bathroom would be quite extravagant," Su Wanru said, but she didn't stop Liu Yifeng any further.
This was the first gift he had ever given her, and she would cherish it.
Seeing that Liu Yifeng had decided to buy both bottles, the staff member guessed their relationship was special. However, it wasn't her place to pry; she only knew her salary this month would be at least a thousand yuan more than last month.
Therefore, she packed the perfumes in beautiful gift boxes and handed them to Su Wanru.
In the end, these two bottles of perfume cost Liu Yifeng sixteen thousand yuan, with each bottle priced at eight thousand.
Although expensive, Liu Yifeng didn't feel heartbroken.
After all, she had been willing to spend over twelve thousand yuan on so many clothes for Tongtong, so how could he be stingy about two bottles of perfume?
Su Wanru, carrying the perfume, happily walked out of the store.
"It's already six o'clock. Let's go for dinner. The restaurant is on the fifth floor, I'll lead the way." Su Wanru walked ahead.
Looking at the person who had suddenly become so cheerful, Liu Yifeng was a bit puzzled: "Do you women all really like perfume that much?"
