Chapter 30: Buy Clothes for Him

Chapter 30

Because she had taken the card given by Gu Junxing, Nian Suian felt a heavy burden on her shoulders. On the second day after Gu Junxing was discharged from the hospital and returned home, she planned to rush to the mall for a shopping spree without delay.

Gu Junxing was never one to sleep in. Even now, while resting at home, his biological clock still woke him up early. After eating breakfast alone, he sat on the sofa to watch the morning news.

To his surprise, just after sitting down, not even 8 o'clock yet, he saw Nian Suian, who normally wouldn't get up before 10, rise early and announce she was going to the mall to buy him clothes. Gu Junxing couldn't help but smile.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. It's not like I really have nothing to wear," he said. He always wore suits from the same brand, with several new sets sent over each season. In winter, he wore coats from the same brand as well. So he generally didn't bother looking at other clothes. As for more private attire like loungewear and pajamas, the butler took care of all that. He himself had never paid much attention to these things. When he told Nian Suian yesterday to buy him clothes, it was mostly meant as a joke at first. But seeing how enthusiastic she was about it later, he decided to just let her have her way. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Nian Suian glanced at him but ignored what he said, instead asking, "Who bought the clothes you're wearing?" Gu Junxing was at home today, wearing a set of loungewear. The top and pants matched, but they were in a navy blue checkered pattern, and the fit was quite ordinary: loose and baggy, completely failing to show off his physique.

Gu Junxing looked down at his clothes and replied, "I think Butler Su bought them all. Why?"

"They're so ugly," Nian Suian said in a low voice, afraid Butler Su might hear and feel hurt. "Even my grandfather doesn't dress like this anymore."

"As far as I know, your grandfather passed away before you were born." Nian Suian guessed Gu Junxing was referring to the grandfather of this world's original owner.

"It's just a figure of speech! It has nothing to do with whether I've met my grandfather or not. You have no sense of humor at all."

"Fine. But these are just clothes for wearing at home. Who am I trying to look good for?"

"I'm here at home too. Can't you look good for me?" Nian Suian argued righteously. Gu Junxing looking better would be a treat for her eyes as well.

As she got out of the car across the street, Nian Suian saw the large brand names on the display wall, gleaming silver in the sunlight. Back when she was just a working girl, she would occasionally pass by places like this without even a glance. After all, she couldn't afford anything, so there was no point in looking.

But now things were different. With the black card in hand, she felt like she could walk in and say, "I don't want this, this, and this. Wrap up everything else!"

Nian Suian planned to buy Gu Junxing's clothes first, leaving Gu Zhijing's for last. Clothes for a boy his age were the hardest to buy, so she'd take her time looking in the afternoon.

She first went to the brand Gu Junxing often wore. The brand didn't just sell suits; they also had casual wear, though she guessed Gu Junxing had never paid attention to that.

His clothes were actually quite easy to buy. After all, with his good physique, there was no need to think about highlighting strengths and hiding weaknesses. Unlike Fang Anzhi's low-key flashiness, Gu Junxing's clothes could be chosen simply from black, white, grey, and brown.

In the end, Nian Suian selected a grey lapel jacket, a black windbreaker, two hoodies, and some casual shirts. She also bought a few pairs of pants to match the tops.

For the first time, Nian Suian bought things without really looking at the prices. After making her selections, she simply signed and swiped the card. Because she had more shopping to do and had already bought quite a bit, Nian Suian left her address with the store for home delivery. For such expensive clothes, home delivery service was to be expected...

Afterwards, she went to a brand-name store and picked out several outfits for both Gu Junxing and Gu Zhijing, opting for sporty styles that were particularly suitable for someone of Gu Zhijing's age. With the mindset of "since we're here anyway," she even bought shoes to match. Conveniently, she had obtained their sizes from Butler Su the night before.

Because she didn't need to compare prices at multiple stores, Nian Suian finished her shopping quickly. By the time she completed her purchases for the father and son, it was just past noon. She decided to store the items she had bought and then go for lunch, leaving the afternoon free to shop for herself.

"Ms. Nian!"

Just as she was leaving the storage area, Nian Suian heard someone call out to her, and the voice sounded very familiar.
