Chapter 257 - Can't afford it?

The woman was already so humiliated that she couldn't feel any more shame. Was there anything worse than being asked to take off one's clothes...by a man? 

She rolled her eyes and sneered. "Why is this family so delusional? Do you know anything about this dress? I bought it from EFW at a price high enough to buy your stupid lives. It's from Wan Jia's most recent series. Do you think you can afford it?" 

Wan Jia picked her ears. Their lives were only as valuable as one dress she had designed for fun? This woman was too...

Lu Aotian frowned. Instantly, three bodyguards appeared from hiding. "Master, do you have any orders?" 

Wan Jia held his arm before he spoke. If he gave an order, it could easily be the most shameful thing on earth. "Let her be. She's just being stupid." 

"She spoke to my princesses rudely." He was not pacified. 

Wan Jia blinked at him cutely with those irresistible eyes of hers. "Aotian...that would take too much time. I'm hungry." 

Hearing that she was hungry, his attention was diverted. He led his princesses out. 

As soon as they left, she smiled at him. "I'm not hungry. I just wanted to leave that place." 

Meanwhile, inside the store, the sales assistants were still in shock. 

"Mrs. Lu actually let you off! This is even more shocking than the fact that you dared to be rude to people from the Lu family." 

"Mrs. Lu is too kind. You are lucky that she was present. If not, no one would be able to help you." one of them said to the voluptious woman. 

She widened her eyes. "Mrs. Lu? Didn't that woman just call him...Aotian? Are you trying to say that man is...?!" 

"Aiya, miss, do you live under a rock? Is there anyone who doesn't know Lu Aotian? No wonder you were so rude to him." 

"I'm dead....I'm finished..." her knees gave way. 

A sales assistant went up to her. "It's alright now. Mrs. Lu already let you off. You should just be more careful the next time." 

"Ha...I even said that ....they can't afford my dress. Can I be any more stupid? Lu Aotian is the president of Lu Enterprises. He can buy hundreds of them for his wife if he waned to." 

The assistants exchanged glances before sighing. "You don't know?" 

"Know what?" 

"That woman is designer Wan Jia." 

The woman felt her world spin. "They were telling the truth?" 

The sales assistants looked at her like she was an idiot.

After buying a ton of toys, the family of three were finally done shopping. It was already late and Lu Aotian wanted to take them to a seafood restaurant for dinner. 

"How about we have dinner at home? I'll cook." Wan Jia suggested. 

Little Jia's big eyes lit up. "Mommy, Little Jia wants to cook too. I'll cook for Mommy and Daddy." 

"Aren't you tired? You should let the chefs cook." Lu Aotian replied. 

Wan Jia clung onto his arm. "Then I'll just cook one meal and let the chefs do the rest. Is that alright? I really want to cook today." 

"If that's what you want." He couldn't ever say no to her. 

"Then it's decided!" She was happy now, and took Little Jia's hand. 

Lu Aotian shook his head speechlessly. You only act cute when you want something and shove me aside as soon as you have your way? 

After leaving Lu Aotian a few steps behind, Wan Jia whispered something in Little Jia's ear. 

Little Jia then nodded. "Mommy, I will do my best." 

"What are the both of you whispering about?" He had caught up with them. 

"Girly stuff." They both said at the same time. 

Lu Aotian looked at Little Jia. She also knew girly stuff? What in the world was that anyway?

"Let's go home now. Our baby must be tired." Wan Jia said. 

At home, Wan Jia had a maid deliver everything to her room and rushed to the kitchen. She looked around and when she was satisfied by everything, she got out to look for Lu Aotian and her baby. 

"My love, you should take a shower first. Dinner will be ready soon." 

Lu Aotian nodded and obediently went to his room. Wan Jia then glanced at Little Jia and the little girl nodded. 

....

As soon as Lu Aotian reached his room, he was about to go to the bathroom but a cute little girl appeared. "Daddy!" 

"Hmm." 

"Do I look pretty?" 

Lu Aotian glanced at her. She was still in her school uniform. Of course she looked pretty in anything. "Very pretty." 

The little girl looked at her school uniform and frowned. "Daddy, I want to try on my new dress." 

He understood her intentions. She wanted him to tell her whether she looked pretty in the new dress she would try on. 

For the next two hours, Little Jia would try on a dress and ask him how she looked. She even tried on the old ones. 

"Daddy, is this tiara pretty?" 

"Daddy, do you like this bracelet?" 

"Daddy..." 

When she was finally done, he was so tired that one would think he was from a battlefield. 

He took a bath and went downstairs for dinner.

The dining room was dimly lit with crystal lights and delicious-looking meals well arranged on the table. There was a white cake with a red '30' at its centre and a few candles sorrounding the 30. If one were to count the crystal lights, they would find that they were exactly thirty.

Wan Jia was wearing a beautiful two piece blue gown. The hem was embedded with diamonds that glittered against the dim light. Around her waist was a beautiful waistchain that made her waist look even more slim and delicate. 

She was waiting for him at the entrance like a princess awaiting her prince charming. "Happy birthday my love."
