“Mommy, I’m back.” Han Muzi had just finished studying the design of the clothes when Little Bean came back with the shopping cart. She turned around and bent over to carry him in her arms.
“Thank you, Little Bean. Come sit in the shopping cart, I’ll push it.”
“Can I?” Little Bean beamed in excitement when he heard that. Rubbing his fingers together, he rolled his eyes playfully. “But that would ruin my image…”
“Hah.” Han Muzi couldn’t help laughing out loud. “What image do you have? You’re just a kid!”
With that, she lifted Little Bean and placed him into the shopping cart. He then grabbed on the side of the shopping cart as soon as he sat down. “Alright then.”
Meanwhile, downstairs…
After Ye Moxuan and Song An got some food from the wet market area, they went to the cashier to pay. The young cashiers looked at Ye Moxuan brightly, and the spark in their eyes dimmed in an instant at the thought of his wife and son.
After collecting the money, the girl at the cashier suddenly realized that they seemed to have bought the same things. Though feeling slightly confused, she still spoke out in a warm attitude, “Sir, do you want to take your wife’s things as well? It’s already paid off.”
Ye Moxuan simply picked up the bag with an indifferent face as if he didn’t hear her.
“Sir?”
Song An could tell that something was up so she narrowed her eyes. “Are you talking to him?”
The girl was a little taken aback. She nodded. “Yeah.”
“You are saying something about his wife?”
The girl was confused by Song An’s puzzled look. She fidgeted for a while before stammering, “J-Just now, there was a very beautiful lady with a boy who came right after you, and she just went upstairs. I-I thought you were a couple.”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan frowned in annoyance and glared at the female cashier.
Under his fierce gaze, she felt a chill running down her spine and immediately bent her back as if an invisible pressure pressed down on her shoulders.
“Uh…”
Sensing that Ye Moxuan’s mood was off, Song An smiled awkwardly. “The two of us came in together. No one else came with us. Maybe you took them for someone else.”
When the person next to the cashier saw this, she hurried over to help her out of a predicament.
“I’m so sorry! My friend is a little short-sighted. Just now, a lady left her stuff here and said that she would give it to her husband later. And since both of them came together just like you guys, my colleague has misunderstood. I’m really sorry.”
“No worries.” Song An shook her head. “Since it’s a misunderstanding, it’s all good that it’s solved now. It’s not a big deal anyway. Moxuan, come on, stop frowning. You’re scaring this young lady here. Let’s go home.”
With that, Song An dragged Ye Moxuan out of the supermarket.
After they left, the female cashier stood there with red eyes, frightened, her colleague comforting her.
“Are you alright?”
She shook her head and hugged herself. “I’m fine. It’s just that he looked so fierce and terrifying just now.”
“Yeah, I think so too… his gaze was too fearsome. For men like him, although he has good looks, he is as good as a block of iceberg. He probably warms up to no one.”
“Yeah.” The frightened girl nodded. “But… the kid looked so much like him. They—”
“Ah, I don’t know what is going on either, but based on his reaction just now, I doubt they’re a couple. Let’s stop talking such nonsense in the future and just do what the customers want.”
“Okay.”
Han Muzi and Little Bean had been shopping upstairs for a while. When they finally came downstairs and checked out, Han Muzi realized that they had bought too many things that both of them probably couldn’t carry home.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi was a little upset.
She blamed it on the fact that she seldom went to the supermarket and when she did, she only cared about getting what she needed, with no thought to whether or not she and her son could bring them home.
In desperation, Han Muzi had to call a cab and asked the driver to help them with their stuff by offering some tips.
When the driver heard that there would be a tip, he immediately agreed to come over.
Han Muzi and Little Bean waited for a while. While waiting, Han Muzi found a young woman with teary eyes looking at them worriedly.
Although Han Muzi was a little confused at that, she couldn’t be bothered by it and left when the driver came to help them pick up things.
After they left, the girls got together and started chatting again.
“What’s going on? I thought they were a couple, but that didn’t seem to be the case!”
“Even if they’re not, we don’t even dare to provoke that man.”
Not long after Han Muzi and Little Bean got in the car, Yan called.
She’s calling me at this hour? Does this mean that she has finished her work already?
“Mommy, let me answer it! I want to talk to Aunt Yan!”
Han Muzi handed the phone to Little Bean, who answered the call immediately and said in a childish voice, “Aunt Yan.”
“Little Bean? Who put you on the phone?”
“Aunt Yan, Mommy and I bought a lot of food at the supermarket. Can we have braised fish in brown sauce tonight, please?”
Usually, Yan would take the time to talk about food with him, but today, she seemed to have some urgent issues. Not only did she not answer his question, she directly said, “Little Bean, I don’t have time to talk about this now. Is your mommy by your side? Give her the phone. I have something to tell her.”
Little Bean heard the anxiety in her tone and handed the phone to Han Muzi. “Mommy, Aunt Yan seems to be looking for you urgently.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi took the phone, “Hey, Yan. What’s up?”
“Muzi, help! The sky is about to collapse, yet you still have the mood to shop?”
Han Muzi arched her eyebrows. “What is going on? You didn’t tell me anything.”
“Let me tell you, I came to take Miss Zhao’s measurements, but do you know what happened? She actually kept me waiting for an hour just because I was one minute late!”
Han Muzi raised her eyes to look out of the window, just in time to see a bus driving by. There was a poster on the bus, and the girl on the poster was Zhao Yiru, the so-called ‘Miss Zhao’ that Yan was talking about.
Zhao Yiru was a popular celebrity within the country who was pretty influential. She got famous after starring in a time-travel series titled ‘Kingdoms Of the World’. When the TV series was broadcasted, she gained many fans. After that, she starred in several other TV series that went popular too. There were countless directors in the entertainment industry who wanted to invite her to film some TV series, but it was rumored that she was very arrogant in nitpicking the script and she wouldn’t accept mediocre directors and scripts.
When her agent found Han Muzi and asked her to design a dress specifically for her, Yan thought about rejecting it but Han Muzi thought otherwise. After all, there was no reason to reject a business order.
