CHAPTER 264: CHAPTER 264: ANYWAY, IT’S FOR MY HUSBAND TO SEE

Gong Xiaoyu didn’t feel there was anything wrong with the clothes she picked.

"Jun Xi, you dress too traditionally. It’s hard for your husband to find you refreshing this way. Trust me, you won’t go wrong. Have I ever led you astray?"

An Junxi adamantly refused, "Get me some underwear first."

The store clerk picked out a few pieces and handed them over, "Miss, try these on and see if they fit."

An Junxi tried them all on and selected a few pieces. She changed back into her clothes and asked the clerk to bring the chosen items.

Gong Xiaoyu, disappointed, held up some lingerie and asked An Junxi, "Are you sure you don’t want this?"

An Junxi pinched her waist, "You pervert, why don’t you use these tricks on Yue Xiaoyang?"

Gong Xiaoyu was bold in her words but still behaved conservatively, "I wouldn’t dare buy it. If my mom saw, she’d kill me!"

She had been living with Yue Xiaoyang secretly for years, hiding it from her family.

She couldn’t imagine the consequences if her parents found out. They might not even recognize her as their daughter!

Living with Yue Xiaoyang was the most rebellious thing she had done against her parents’ wishes.

She went all out for him, but unfortunately, Yue Xiaoyang didn’t cherish it at all.

Zhang Miaoyan said, "I thought Xiao Yu was so bold, but it turns out she was just all talk."

The store manager, well-versed in women’s thoughts, noticed how pretty and well-shaped the three young ladies were. She began to give them some advice: "Men are visual creatures. No matter how much they love you, over time the excitement will fade. If the other half knows how to create romance, it can be an excellent way to keep the relationship fresh. These pieces of lingerie sell very well. Being bold and sexy, what’s wrong with that? After all, it’s for your husbands to see, and they will like it. Your relationship might even get better!"

Zhang Miaoyan blushed at the thought, "No, I really can’t."

The store manager, persistent, picked out a set for each of them, "You still look young and don’t understand. As someone with experience, I know men’s tastes well. If you buy these three sets together, I’ll give you a 30% discount. Try them at home, and trust me, you’ll come back for more."

An Junxi and the other two widened their eyes, thinking that wearing this to seduce their husbands would be asking for trouble.

An Junxi looked at the thin pieces of fabric and strings in her hands, blushing, "Store manager, is there something more conservative?"

The store manager laughed, "You have such a good figure, wearing this will have the best effect!"

As for what the effect was, it was something that couldn’t be put into words.

Zhang Miaoyan dared not take it, quietly asking An Junxi, "Do you think Yu Chen will despise me if he sees I bought this?"

The store manager laughed knowingly, "There isn’t a man who wouldn’t like it. Try it first!"

While they were still contemplating, the store manager had already scanned the three pieces of lingerie, "How would you like to pay?"

The store manager was so good at business that they had no choice. Gong Xiaoyu said, "I’ll pay."

The store manager smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to come again."

This sentence seemed to have a special meaning. The three bowed their heads and left the lingerie store. They walked quite a distance before they dared to lift their heads. Gong Xiaoyu said, "Why do we feel so guilty?"

An Junxi said, "I really..."

Gong Xiaoyu interrupted her, "Jun Xi, among the three of us, you need this weapon the most. If you don’t keep an eye on your husband now, be careful President Gu doesn’t get seduced by another woman, and then you’ll be left crying."

Zhang Miaoyan was confused, "What happened?"

An Junxi said, "That He Sirui, I’ve seen Yi Ke getting close to her recently."

Zhang Miaoyan, from the HR department, rarely ventured to the upper levels, so she wasn’t too clear.

Gong Xiaoyu reminded her again, "Remember, try it tonight when you go home. I’m waiting for your update."

An Junxi looked at the bag in her hand, her heart racing as she shoved the scorching lingerie to the bottom, "I’ll try."

Gong Xiaoyu insisted, "You must!"

Zhang Miaoyan also said, "Jun Xi, good luck!"

Gong Xiaoyu turned to her, "Don’t just encourage others; you need it too."

Zhang Miaoyan stammered, "I-I... will try."

An Junxi glanced at the time, "I’ve been out for a long time; the driver is still waiting for me outside."

"Alright, let’s go," Gong Xiaoyu, who had her own car, said, "Miao Yan, I’ll give you a ride."

The three parted ways at the square. An Junxi got into her family’s car and told Xiao Liu, "Back to the apartment."

Gong Xiaoyu took Zhang Miaoyan to Xie Yuchen’s apartment, "Are you just living in the apartment? When’s the wedding?"

Zhang Miaoyan, considering Gong Xiaoyu’s recent relationship troubles with Yue Xiaoyang, didn’t want to mention her and Xie Yuchen’s registration. Even thinking about it now left her still a bit bewildered.

That day, Xie Yuchen had taken her straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau. She was hesitant at the entrance, "Mr. Xie..."

"Call me by my name." Xie Yuchen’s tone was firm. How many times had he said that?

Afraid of making him angry, Zhang Miaoyan obediently corrected herself, "Yu Chen."

"Hmm."

"Are we really going in to register? You don’t need to rush because your family is urging..."

Xie Yuchen didn’t let her finish, leading her inside by the hand. Seeing the five-star red flag inside, the solemn setting, she dared not say a word more.

It didn’t take long before they both emerged with little red books. Xie Yuchen put away both marriage certificates, "I’ll keep these."

Zhang Miaoyan muttered, "Why can’t I keep them?"

Xie Yuchen said, "My parents need to check them."

He opened the car door for her. Zhang Miaoyan got into the passenger seat, heavy-hearted. His emphasis on his parent’s inspection confirmed that he married her just to satisfy them.

Feeling uncomfortable, she wanted to resist several times, to say the registration didn’t count. But ultimately, she was too timid to say such things to him.

She had liked him for almost seven years, marrying him was her lifelong dream. Now that she was legally his wife, she couldn’t feel any happiness.

If he married her out of love, how wonderful it would be?

Xie Yuchen drove her home. After getting out of the car, she saw him get out too and asked, "Are you coming to my place?"

Xie Yuchen gently poked her forehead, "What do you mean ’your’ place? You’re my wife now."

Zhang Miaoyan said, "I bought that apartment."

Xie Yuchen squinted at her, and Zhang Miaoyan added, "Though I’m still paying off the mortgage, it’s still mine!" It was her sense of pride.

Xie Yuchen pulled her over to press the elevator button, "Fine, it’s your apartment."

Previously too afraid to stand beside him, she now held his hand, so nervous her palms sweat.

A jumbled mess of thoughts crowded her mind: fearing Xie Yuchen would dislike her sweaty hands, worrying he would laugh at her for being so scared just holding hands.

The elevator reached her floor, and she pulled out her keys to open the door. Xie Yuchen brazenly walked in to look around.

A simple one-bedroom apartment, it was arranged warmly, giving a homely feel.
