My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 558 - 550: Shopping at the Mall Together

They were simply not from the same world.

"I think liking someone is more important than suitability. Of course..."

Baola’s tone shifted, "I don’t think there’s anyone more suitable for me than you. I trust my judgment."

Who could be better than Chen Jiayan?

Probably no one.

"That’s just your opinion."

Of course, her thoughts might just be temporary.

Chen Jiayan had never believed that anything remained unchanged.

He said earnestly, "I came from an orphanage, unlike you, who hails from a wealthy family. We are not well-matched."

Baola disagreed with his words.

"No one can choose their background. When I fall for a man, I don’t consider his circumstances."

She took a step closer to him, closing the distance he had just established.

"As long as he’s the right fit, it’s all good."

"Miss Xie..."

Chen Jiayan was about to say something when Baola cut him off.

"Don’t say so much. I understand my own feelings. Either get in the car or come into my house, choose one."

Baola spoke slowly,

Unafraid that Chen Jiayan would refuse.

Did Miss Xie not show her might, did Jiayan think of her as Hello Kitty?

Jiayan didn’t want to choose either option.

"It’s not necessary to go through all this trouble. I’ll just call a cab."

It would only take a bit longer.

Baola tugged at the corner of her mouth, her tone cold, "This is my turf. If you don’t get in the car, I’ll have my bodyguards tie you up."

She said, blinking her eyes with a suggestive tone, "Tie you up, you know."

Chen Jiayan was shocked, "Is this how you always bulldoze your way?"

Baola hummed lightly, half-smiling, "I might consider it for you since I like you so much."

If soft approaches didn’t work, she would play tough.

She couldn’t believe this wouldn’t win Jiayan over.

Being a bit forceful could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After some back and forth, Baola secured a meal together.

During the New Year holiday, many restaurants were closed.

Therefore, Baola suggested that Jiayan cook for her.

Jiayan compromised once again.

He didn’t realize that this compromise would lead to many more in the future.

Anyway, it wasn’t his first time compromising in front of her, was it?

Perhaps in relation to him, she was his unavoidable fate.

Jiayan’s home had few ingredients.

Since they were to make a meal for two, they needed to do some shopping first.

Fortunately, the stores were still open at this time.

Baola, beaming, asked, "Do you want to drive, or should I?"

Before Jiayan could answer, Baola said, "You drive. I know where the stores are around here, and I’ll guide you."

"Alright."

They each got into the car.

Jiayan glanced at her and started the car to leave.

Baola, full of enthusiasm, asked, "What are we going to eat tonight?"

"It’s up to you."

"What can you cook?"

"I can make simple homestyle dishes."

Of course, he usually ate out.

He rarely cooked at home.

The home was too quiet.

Even when cooking, it was just for one, so Jiayan didn’t particularly enjoy cooking alone.

Of course, when resting, he occasionally cooked his favorite dishes.

All in all, his culinary skills were acceptable.

"The man I chose is indeed impressive!"

Baola said, beaming, and took the opportunity to compliment Jiayan.

Jiayan: "..."

Immune to her praises.

Today the snow kept falling nonstop.

It was rare for Hai City to experience such heavy snow.

The entire city was covered with ice and snow, everything around white and blank.

There was snow on the roads, so Jiayan drove slowly.

Car music played inside, all Baola’s favorite songs.

She occasionally hummed along.

Maybe it was the New Year atmosphere.

Even the ambiance inside the car grew a few degrees warmer.

It felt like the warmth he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

Every year he had was as bleak as could be, but now with Baola sitting beside him, it felt less so.

It made him feel truly festive, like it really was New Year.

"Doesn’t the snow seem very heavy this year?" Baola asked.

Jiayan slightly nodded, "Indeed."

"Have you always lived in Hai City?"

What had happened to make such a wonderful man grow up in an orphanage?

If not for Xi Bao’s mother’s sponsorship, what kind of person might he have become?

Would she have met him then?

Jiayan noticed Baola’s gaze fixed on his face, her intentions deep and uncertain.

"Yes."

He nodded again.

There were some things she didn’t want to talk about, and Baola wouldn’t ask.

Especially since it concerned his deepest secrets.

Even though she really wanted to know everything about Jiayan.

But she didn’t make inquiries about his childhood.

If he ever chose to share with her in the future, she would listen attentively.

"Hai City is nice, isn’t it? Let’s live here together in the future."

"Shall we buy ingredients at this store?"

Jiayan spotted a large department store by the road.

Baola looked out the car window: "Yes, that’s the one! We almost missed it, good thing you have good eyesight."

Baola directed him, "There’s a parking spot over there, move the car that way."

"I see it."

After parking, the pair entered the department store.

Inside, the heating was turned up high, almost to the point of being hot.

Baola immediately took off her coat upon entering and hung it on her arm.

They headed straight for the supermarket.

Taking the escalator downstairs,

Baola stood on the escalator watching him.

"Did you used to spend the New Year with Xixi?"

"No, I spent New Year alone."

"Why?"

Baola had just finished asking when she remembered something Qiao Xi had told her before.

"Spending New Year alone must be very bleak, but that’s okay."

"?!"

"From now on, I’ll spend every New Year with you."

As Jiayan turned to look at Baola, he caught her giving a sly, sweet smile.

Her features were of the type both bright and enchanting, but when she smiled, they appeared pure.

Even her sweet voice made her ladylike appearance seem less intimidating.

Such a complicated and beautiful woman, like a poppy flower, deeply captivating.

Did she understand what her words, "I’ll spend every New Year with you," implied?

Baola stepped off the escalator and casually pulled Jiayan along.

She suddenly stopped, "Chen Jiayan, can you hold my coat for me?"

Jiayan: "?"

Baola: "I’ll pick the ingredients, just don’t get my clothes dirty, okay?"

Jiayan: "... Can you pick them?"
