"Song Yun, do you think this dress looks nice~"
Ye Qingqing held up a pale blue maxi dress in her hands and, draping it over herself, she asked with a smile.
Song Yun's eyes brightened, indeed, someone as attractive as her would look good in any clothing. The dress made Ye Qingqing look youthful and radiant, much like a female college student still attending school.
"But this one is also pretty!"
Ye Qingqing picked up another dress, a white one this time, leaving the men accompanying their girlfriends shopping around them staring in awe. The white dress seemed to awaken their deepest memories, those of first love, a time when the sky was a clearer shade of blue and burdens weren't so heavy. Holding hands with a girl, a day spent walking in the park seemed like such a beautiful era.
"You look good in anything, let's buy them both!"
Song Yun, his smile beaming, handed over a black card to the salesperson who lit up with recognition. Their store might not carry top-tier luxury brands, but even the cheapest dresses started at seven or eight thousand yuan. It seemed the dashing gentleman had the resources of a wealthy, golden bachelor!
After swiping the card and packaging the dresses, the salesperson handed Ye Qingqing a special VIP card with a smile, "Madam, your boyfriend is so good to you. This card gives you a national discount of 20 percent off in our stores. We look forward to your next visit."
Ye Qingqing felt an immense happiness as she clung to Song Yun's arm. Neither of them were short on money, and the clothes in Ye Qingqing's wardrobe were far pricier than these two dresses, but their significance lay in the fact that Song Yun was the one who bought them.
They walked hand in hand through the mall like any ordinary couple. When Ye Qingqing saw something she liked, she would haggle for fun, even if it only saved them a trivial amount, for this innocent young woman it was a fresh and amusing experience.
After walking around for a while, Song Yun and Ye Qingqing stopped by a milk tea shop, casually ordering two drinks and taking a break inside.
At that moment, the milk tea shop's TV screen scrolled with entertainment news, announcing a director surnamed Ma at the helm of a new movie. The film was adapted from the well-known IP novel "Signing in at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Reward: A Beautiful Wife".
Seeing the news, Ye Qingqing took a sip of her milk tea and said discontentedly, "That novel is really good, why did it have to end up in the hands of that director!"
"Oh? You've read it?"
Ye Qingqing lifted her head with pride as she spoke, "Of course, the novel is quite interesting. Most importantly, its protagonists met and married right at the front door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, doesn't it remind you of our situation? Sigh, but I'm sure the film adaptation will cut so much, it's disappointing!"
Wrapping his arm around his wife's shoulder, Song Yun consoled her, "Why not just buy that entertainment company? After all, it's not that much money."
"What are you thinking," Ye Qingqing leaned into Song Yun's chest and sighed. "The company doing the adaptation is Tianyu, one of the top entertainment companies in the country. Its market value must be at least 50 or 60 billion yuan. With that sort of money, I can do so many other things."
As they were being affectionate with one another, Song Yun's phone rang. It was a call from Yuan Siyi.
"Brother Song Yun, mom's third phase of surgery was completed this morning. The doctors said that as long as she recovers peacefully and takes her medication, she'll be fine!"
This was the feeling of home.
Song Yun sat down, and the two of them started to eat.
Song Yun was responsible for cooking the food, while Ye Qingqing was responsible for eating.
He picked up a slice of crispy tripe and after seven or eight seconds in the pot, he dipped it in sauce and held it up to Ye Qingqing's mouth, saying with a smile, "Ah~"
"Awoo!"
Ye Qingqing ate it in one bite, her eyes closing in satisfaction.
The good-looking couple attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.
To couples in the throes of passion, everyone is always most accommodating.
After all, everyone has been through it before; thinking back to the days when they would stay up all night for love, talking on the phone with their girlfriend, or foolishly standing under their loved one's apartment in the middle of the night waiting, the word to describe it all is "innocence"!
But no one would dislike that beautiful time. After all, back then, they wanted to give their most beloved the best of everything, to give her a home—every thought was serious!
Everyone looked at the couple with benevolence.
"Click!"
Song Yun stealthily took a photo of Ye Qingqing getting scalded while eating, her pouty expression as she continuously blew on her lips was adorable.
"You sneakily took a photo of me!"
Ye Qingqing pouted her lips and playfully hit Song Yun's shoulder, saying, "Let me see it when we get home! Delete any that aren't good-looking!"
"Hehe, eat up, eat up."
Song Yun quickly glossed over the matter, believing in his heart that his wife was always the most beautiful, with no such thing as looking bad!
At a table not far from where Song Yun took the photo, a girl wearing a hat kept her face down very low while eating.
It was as if she was afraid of being recognized.
