Since they had bought the LED TV, the bedroom should not seem to be so quiet.

Besides the TV, Song Wenxin took the opportunity to also browse through a selection of clocks and small, cute display items.

Looking on as she went on her shopping spree at the mall, Jiang Beihan simply stood by her side, not uttering a word, his face expressionless.

This was the first time that he had made a trip personally to a shopping mall to accompany a woman while she shopped.

“Look at this. What do you think? Isn’t it adorable?” Song Wenxin picked up a small alarm clock shaped like a rabbit, turning around suddenly to show it to Jiang Beihan.

“Childish!” He shot a look of disdain at the silly-looking bunny… how old did she think she was, taking a liking to these things?

Pursing her lips, Song Wenxin looked disappointed at what Jiang Beihan had just said and put the alarm clock back on the shelf.

Next, she spotted a retro clock with an old-school design that looked very stylish.

Once again, she asked for his opinion. “Would this one do, then?”

Since the item was to be placed in his bedroom, she needed his opinion before buying it. If he did not want the item displayed in his bedroom, then she would have wasted her time buying it.

“Whatever, I don’t use these things,” Jiang Beihan replied mildly, looking like he didn’t care either way.

He had an excellent biological clock and did not need to rely on those things.

Based on his reply, Song Wenxin smiled and said happily, “We’ll buy this, then. It’s nice!”

That said, she put the item into the shopping cart.

Observing her happy smile as she browsed the items on display, Jiang Beihan’s dark eyes warmed up inadvertently…

He had never imagined that shopping at the mall with someone could be a little fun.

…

Having paid for the items, they walked out of the mall, preparing to depart, when Song Wenxin suddenly stopped in front of the display window of a men’s apparel store outside the mall.

Her eyes were focused on a blue and white striped tie displayed in the window that had caught her attention.

However, when she noticed the price tag, Song Wenxin winced.

As Jiang Beihan walked closer toward her, he followed her line of sight and finally noticed the tie.

That was a man’s tie!

“Jiang Beihan, lend me some money!” she said as she turned to the man standing behind her.

“Do you want to buy that?” Jiang Beihan asked, glancing at the tie.

Did she intend to buy that tie as a gift for him?

“Yes! That one. I don’t have that much money now. Lend me some money and I will return it another day!” Song Wenxin said determinedly. Although she did not have that much money on her, she was sure that, with the money she had saved from her allowance, she would have enough to pay for the tie!

“But I don’t like anything too flashy!” Jiang Beihan claimed, looking with distaste at the blue and white stripes on the tie.

Indeed, that was not his style. Too flashy!

“Huh?” Song Wenxin responded in confusion, adding, “I’m not buying it for you…”

She was stumped and at a loss for words. Why did he have to be negative when she was buying the tie for someone else? She was not buying it for him, anyway!

Before she could complete her sentence, Jiang Beihan’s cool, handsome face had turned dark instantly.

Amongst the many passers-by on that street, there was an endless stream of young women who were looking in Jiang Beihan’s direction and talking about him, keeping their voices low.

“Look at that man. He’s so good looking!”

“Where?”

“Look, that one wearing a black jacket; that tall guy!”

…

“You’re not giving it to me?!” Jiang Beihan demanded to know, his dark eyes staring intently at Song Wenxin’s face as though he was about to devour her!

If the gift was not for him, then who was it intended for?
