66 -65: Accompany Her Shopping
5:30 in the afternoon.
Tang Xi finished her shift and walked out of the hospital, only to see Fu Tingzhou’s car parked not far away.
Her fingers involuntarily tightened as she approached, opened the car door, and sat inside.
Fu Tingzhou glanced at the time, “You’re fifteen minutes late.”
“…Sorry,” she said.
“A patient suddenly felt unwell.”
The man started the car.
The two of them were silent all the way.
The car drove for about half an hour and arrived at the Longtai Mall in the city center.
The man’s strides were large; Tang Xi had to jog to keep up with him.
Looking at his back, Tang Xi’s hand subconsciously reached for her abdomen.
She had been in a daze ever since she found out she was pregnant at noon.
Fu Tingzhou led her to a women’s clothing store.
The sales associate in this high-end luxury store could immediately tell that the man before her was of a distinguished status; the subtle cufflinks on his sleeves showcased an unmistakable identity.
“Sir…
ah…
Miss, what would you need?
Our store just received a lot of new arrivals today.”
The sales associate’s gaze fell on Tang Xi.
The woman was indeed attractive, but her attire was surprisingly plain and frugal…
It was hard to associate her with the clearly superior-looking and prestigious man before her.
Fu Tingzhou pointed to Tang Xi and said to the sales associate, “Find her a few suitable pieces of clothing.”
“Ma’am, please follow me.”
This was Tang Xi’s first time in such a high-end women’s clothing store where even a simple white shirt would cost a four-digit price.
Her eyes widened as she picked up a moderately-priced beige dress, “Just this one.”
“Ma’am, would you like to try it on?
The fitting room is over here.”
Tang Xi glanced at the man in the resting area—he sat there with a faint air of aloofness surrounding him.
She knew that he didn’t want to go shopping with her or accompany her to buy clothes; he was merely fulfilling a task arranged by Qin Jianlan.
Tang Xi said softly, “No need, just wrap it up, please.”
“Alright ma’am, this dress is one thousand three hundred and ninety.”
Tang Xi glanced at the person in the resting area and took out her phone to prepare for payment by scanning a code.
On the side, the sales associate said, “Ma’am, the gentleman who came with you has a gold card from this store which can be used for a discount.”
Tang Xi’s eyes lowered, “No need.”
He had already helped her by giving her five hundred thousand for her mother’s kidney transplant.
In one more month, there would be no further relationship between the two of them.
She would accompany him, fulfilling the tasks arranged by Qin Jianlan.
She could also buy her own clothes.
Carrying the paper bag, she walked up to Fu Tingzhou, “I’ve made the purchase, let’s go…”
“Just this one?” The man frowned as he looked at Tang Xi, his gaze lingering on her fair face for several seconds.
Fu Tingzhou walked over to a row of women’s clothing, “Just wrap up these ones according to her size.”
The sales associate paused, then quickly responded, “Certainly, sir.”
Tang Xi hurried over and gently tugged at the man’s sleeve, paused for a moment, then let go, “No need, I can’t wear so many…”
The man’s gaze fell on the blue dress displayed in the window.
Suddenly, an image of the woman in a light blue dress with a faint smile on the island popped into his mind.
His gaze intensified, “This one, wrap it up too.”
“Sir, this piece is a limited-edition item.
We only have this one in our store, and it has already been reserved by a lady.”
“I’ll pay ten times the price.”
The two sales associates exchanged a glance, then immediately contacted the store manager.
Meanwhile, Fu Tingzhou took out his phone and dialed Xu Ze’s number.
Within three minutes, the store manager arrived, his face wearing an ingratiating smile, “Mr.
Fu, I had no idea you were here, my apologies.”
Fu Tingzhou gave a faint ‘hmm’ in response, his eyes knowingly gazing at Tang Xi, “Try this dress on.”
A sales associate led Tang Xi to the dressing room and took out the blue dress.
Tang Xi looked at the dress, under the showcase lighting it had the faint blue hue of a mermaid’s garb.
Slightly darker under actual light, the waist was adorned with blue sequins, but it wasn’t ostentatious, suitable even for everyday wear.
The neckline was a gentle V-neck paired with a faint blue lace, revealing a woman’s delicate and fair collarbone.
She changed into the dress, let down her casually tied-up hair, and let it drape over her shoulders.
The sales associate said, “Ma’am, you look really beautiful in this dress, Mr.
Fu really has an excellent eye.”
Tang Xi slightly curved her lips, looking at herself in the mirror.
The dress came down to two centimeters below her knees.
The sales associate reminded her, “Ma’am, you could try taking off your glasses.”
Tang Xi sometimes wore glasses at work, often forgetting to take them off when she was busy.
Her prescription was not strong, but it was for convenience at work.
The black-framed glasses looked somewhat dated, yet she couldn’t care less about such things.
At that moment, the woman took off her glasses.
The sales associate repeatedly praised that only she could perfectly pull off this dress, which was only available in two pieces throughout North City, one in this store and one in a branch, both of which had been reserved.

Fu Tingzhou sat in the lounge area with his knees crossed.
Tang Xi had been in the dressing room for over ten minutes.
He lifted his hand to glance at his wristwatch, and when he lifted his gaze again, the woman had already come out.
Upon seeing her, he was momentarily taken aback.
Soon, he regained his composure, his expression as calm and peaceful as a lake, and almost nobody noticed the brief look of astonishment that crossed his face as he looked at her.
Fu Tingzhou had seen many beautiful women in his life.
Why he would show a look of infatuation and astonishment at the physical appearance of a woman, only he himself knew.
The woman before him was like an elf stranded on a deserted island, her quiet and gentle gaze was like a vortex, attracting him.
From the very first moment Fu Tingzhou saw Tang Xi at the Su Family house, he knew that his gaze would momentarily linger on her.
Tang Xi approached him and almost subconsciously asked, “Does it look good?”
Fu Tingzhou didn’t answer that it looked good or not; he stood up, handed over his card, instructed the store manager to send the clothes to Longshan Villa, and then refocused his gaze on the woman before him, deep and cold.
With her eyes demurely downcast, the blue dress made her skin appear even more pale, faintly revealing the bluish-purple veins underneath. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
After taking off her black glasses, there was a soft impression on the bridge of her nose.
Her skin was so fair that the slightest indent appeared reddened.
He couldn’t help but remember how sensitive her skin was; a firm grip would leave her red for a long time.
The man’s voice was somewhat husky, “Keep it on.”
After saying that, Fu Tingzhou walked out first.
Tang Xi watched his retreating back, his recent words echoing in her ears.
She stood there dazed for a few seconds before hurrying after him.
As she glanced back, she saw her reflection in the showcase window, along with his…
The blue dress and his black casual attire seemed to overlap.
