Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 288 - 199 The Little Fox Stealing Food

Wen Shulin and Su Liya browsed separately; their distinct temperaments made it hard for others to guess the relationship between them.

Wen Shulin was the epitome of maturity and grace, the sharpness of a superior always lingered in her brows, making others hesitant to approach her.

In contrast, Su Liya was brimming with youth and akin to a little sun, spreading vitality and spirit wherever she went.

But whenever they appeared together, subtle similarities would quietly emerge.

Especially in the expressions between their brows, they were as if carved from the same mold.

When they smiled, the corners of their brows tilted upward slightly, forming an arc that was both elegant and confident.

Even the way they furrowed their brows when pondering was identical, revealing an inherent chill and distance.

It was this sense of distance that made it hard for others to associate the lofty and exquisite Wen Shulin with the passionately fiery Su Liya.

Chen Cheng became the pair’s "errand boy," carrying bags big and small, though they were not heavy.

"Where do you want to go next?" Wen Shulin asked Su Liya.

Su Liya thought for a moment, "Buy lingerie."

Wen Shulin pointed to the VS store ahead, "I was just about to head there myself."

"Sure!"

The two walked forward, arm in arm, taking long strides.

Right at the entrance, Chen Cheng noticed the pink sign above the door.

There was nothing wrong with a man accompanying his girlfriend to a lingerie shop, but it felt a bit delicate with these two.

"I won’t go in," he found an excuse.

"I’m going to buy some coffee; do you want any?"

"I’ll have a caramel macchiato, thanks Mr. Chen!" Su Liya entered the store without looking back, still remembering to order.

Wen Shulin paused slightly, giving Chen Cheng a seemingly amused look, "Then please, a regular Americano, thank you."

Chen Cheng stood still, his mind involuntarily conjuring up various styles of lingerie as he watched the red and black decor of the shop.

He had forgotten; for men, the issue with Wen and Su was never a physical challenge, but a mental one.

Sighing resignedly, Chen Cheng made his way to Starbucks.

...

...

Inside, the sales assistant welcomed them with enthusiasm.

"Ladies, miss, welcome to VS."

Wen Shulin glanced over the array of clothes while Su Liya was quicker to act, immediately picking up a set of black lace lingerie and holding it up against herself.

"What do you think about this one? Isn’t it sexy?"

Wen Shulin couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "You, thinking about sexiness at such a young age?"

Outside, "mommy" became the simplest word between them, a tacit and unspeakable title.

Su Liya cheekily responded, "Hmph, but I like this style!"

Wen Shulin helplessly shook her head.

The sales associate chimed in, "The miss has good taste; this lingerie is our new arrival and very popular. Its material is exceptionally comfortable, and it wonderfully accentuates the body’s curves."

Su Liya, with a proud smile on her face, turned to Wen Shulin, "See, I told you I made a good choice."

Naturally, Wen Shulin would not agree.

She glanced at a nearby rack and picked up a simple, light-colored lingerie set, pale pink in hue.

"This style suits you."

Su Liya pouted, "I don’t want it; it doesn’t look good at all!"

"How is it not good looking? This one complements your skin tone."

Wen Shulin patiently explained, her voice laced with an imperceptible affection.

"But..."

Su Liya wanted to argue, but seeing Wen Shulin’s look, her voice trailed off, "Okay then."

"There, that’s better."

Wen Shulin understood Su Liya too well.

Girls of this age rush to prove themselves, yearning for maturity, to be seen as adults.

But in her eyes, Su Liya would always remain her little doll.

The shop assistant asked Su Liya, "Miss, would you need a measurement with padding?"

Su Liya confidently stated her size, "36C."

The assistant found her the corresponding lingerie and led Su Liya to the fitting room, adding before she left, "Miss, after you’re done, just ring this service bell."

"Thank you."

Wen Shulin also made her selections, a faint smile lingering at her lips.

She looked around once more, ultimately picking a French-style short nightdress.

The material felt silky smooth to the touch, the ultra-thin straps were just right, with a U-shaped open back adorned with a ribbon that could be pulled apart.

"I’ll take one in M size, please."

After getting the clothing she wanted, Wen Shulin followed into another changing room.

...

...

Chen Cheng sat on a Starbucks sofa, waiting for his coffee order.

He glanced at the shopping bags by his feet; even though it wasn’t his money, Su Liya had spent nearly a hundred thousand on this trip, which was something he couldn’t have imagined before.

"Boy, not one to skimp, huh!"

Ding!

As he listlessly waited, his phone chimed.

Wen Shulin: [Picture]

"Is it nice?"

Chen Cheng’s eyes widened.

Not because of Wen Shulin’s stunning figure in the photo, but because such a cautious person had taken a shot of herself and sent it over, which was beyond his wildest thoughts.

"Whatever you wear is beautiful," he texted back.

"Then I’ll wear it tonight."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Sir, your coffee is ready," the staff member announced.

Just as Chen Cheng was about to stand up, his phone pinged again.

Su Liya: [Picture]

"Mommy wants me to choose this set, but I want the black one."

Chen Cheng felt his head swell; both mother and daughter were sending him these pictures.

Taking a deep breath, he replied to Su Liya, "It also looks fine, suits you."
