Chapter 39
What Would You Like as Your Betrothal Gift?
“Sure!” Gong Mo smiled and reached out to hug her. “Mom is awesome.”
With such a mother, she could relax and frolic around all she wanted and could say “no” to any player or heartless rat! Of course, she wished Sheng Nanxuan wouldn’t turn into a player. She wanted to give her child a complete home.
Early the next day, Sheng Nanxuan brought breakfast over. Because of him, Mama Gong didn’t need to make breakfast over the past few days. Mama Gong’s satisfaction grew at having such a filial son-in-law.
She picked up the deep-fried breadsticks and soy milk and walked out. “I’ll go to the store first. Enjoy your breakfast.” With that, she gave Gong Mo a meaningful look.
Gong Mo gave a slight nod.
When Mama Gong left, Sheng Nanxuan asked, “What’s up?”
“You could tell?” Gong Mo smiled. “We’re going to the mall today.”
“Oh.”
Seeing that he had no reaction, Gong Mo said awkwardly, “I mean, we’re going to the mall today, just me and my mom.”
Sheng Nanxuan understood now. He raised his eyebrows. “Don’t you need me to carry your bags for you?”
Gong Mo shook her head. He didn’t look like a man who would carry bags for women.
“What will you be doing at the mall?” he asked.
“Uh…”
Sheng Nanxuan thought for awhile. “Are you buying your dowry?”
Gong Mo blushed. “Something like that.”
“We can’t carry all that stuff when we’re going to the capital. Tell your mom to not waste the money.”
“Mom insists on going,” said Gong Mo. “I’ll just accompany her and we’ll see if we actually get anything when things come to that.”
Sheng Nanxuan pondered, then asked, “What would you like as your betrothal gift?”
Gong Mo’s eyes widened. “That’s not necessary, right? Our… our circumstances are special. We don’t need to discuss that.”
“No matter what, it’s still our wedding.” Sheng Nanxuan chuckled lightly. “Sure, have fun shopping, then. I have something to do with Fang Yang anyway, so I won’t be accompanying you.”
...
Upon returning to the guest house, Sheng Nanxuan informed Fang Yang, “Gong Mo is going to the mall with her mama today. Send someone to keep watch over them and see what they look at.”
In the afternoon, Fang Yang reported, “Madam and Old Madam are mainly looking at clothes and shoes, followed by jewelry. They also walked into a furniture store, but didn’t look at anything closely.”
“Got it,” said Sheng Nanxuan. “Go contact the best international clothes designer and jeweler, and get them to show me their unpublished designs.”
Of course his wife had to have unique clothes and jewelry.
“Understood!” Fang Yang replied immediately. It seemed like Boss placed a lot of importance on Madam! He asked, puzzled, “Are you really going to get married here? Won’t you get anyone to attend?”
Sheng Nanxuan smiled. “Why should I let anyone else look at my wife?”
“…”
“We’ll have the ceremony in the future. I don’t want to be disturbed by so many people now. As for you… you’ll be the only one to witness my marriage. Do you feel honored?”
“Yes!” Fang Yang answered earnestly. “I feel elevated in Boss’s eyes.”
“Oh. Then you’d better do your job properly and disappoint me.”
“I won’t disappoint you!” Fang Yang guaranteed loudly.
That night, he organized the photos of the clothes, shoes, and jewelry he collected, saved it on a tablet, and handed it to Sheng Nanxuan.
Sheng Nanxuan scrolled through the collection and looked at each picture one by one. At first, he wanted to pick out clothes for Gong Mo to wear for her wedding, but he realized that many of the clothes suited her and he didn’t know what to choose.
He thought for a while before deleting those that didn’t suit Gong Mo and sending the rest to Fang Yang’s computer. “I want all of these. Deliver them to the villa before I return to the capital.”
