79: A Green Hat

A Green Hat

When Gu Shaoyang and Yu Ziyan got the news that Huo Chenhuan wants to go shopping with Su Yayan, they were stunned.2

Since the accident that caused Huo Chenhuan's legs to become the way it was, he no longer took part in any social gatherings, or appear at any public places. If he could stay at home, he would.

If Huo Chenhuan did not hear of what had happened to Su Yayan, he would never have appeared in Huo Qihan's house.

Now, however, he agreed to go shopping with Su Yayan in a high pedestrian traffic mall…

The way Gu Shaoyang and Yu Ziyan looked at Su Yayan was as if they were looking right at a femme fatale!

Su Yayan could not care less about their thoughts when she headed right to the nearest mall with Huo Chenhuan.

"What do you think we should get for her? And also for Hua Hua? Hua Hua's our Dun Dun's fiancée, practically our future doggy daughter-in-law, we most certainly should get it some first-meeting gift."

Huo Chenhuan stifled a laugh. "That dog's name is… Hua Hua? If it's our doggy daughter-in-law, isn't your friend our relative by marriage then?"

Su Yayan giggled and nodded. "You could also say that."

"Is there anything she'd like?"

"Her? She likes cash."

"Cash?" Huo Chenhuan was slightly dumbfounded after hearing such an "elegant and outstanding" reply.

Su Yayan frowned at his reaction, a tinge of displeasure displayed on her face.

Huo Chenhuan noticed it immediately. The laughter in his eyes faded slightly as he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Su Yayan shook her head. "It's fine, I don't think I should ask you further. Buying her things after consulting your advice feels like you're the one choosing the gifts for her. I'd be jealous."

The Yu Ziyan duo that was a few steps behind the pair who vaguely heard the last line, "…" Are girls so straightforward nowadays?

Huo Chenhuan was confounded. After he snapped himself out of it, his facial expression softened, and murmured, "Okay."

Finally, Su Yayan made up her mind to first visit the boutique, then to the pet shop to get Dun Dun and his little friend some knick-knacks.

Su Yayan had her eyes on a newly arrived beige-colored fall winter scarf, and as she made her way to the counter, a male scarf nearby caught her eye.

On the wheelchair, Huo Chenhuan stared stoically at the people-filled mall, his gaze icy and bottomless, his expression unreadable.

Out of a sudden, he felt a warm scarf around his neck.

Huo Chenhuan paused, looked up, and found himself looking right at Su Yayan's starlit eyes. "Do you like it?"

He caressed the soft, warm scarf around his neck, his dead eyes began to fill with tenderness. "Yes."

"Winter's almost here, we've gotta get new scarves. Oh yes, and also hats."

Even though Yu Ziyan and Gu Shaoyang tagged along, they kept a certain distance between themselves and the couple so they could "date" at ease.

Just like now, the couple was in the shop, so the duo kept watch near the entrance of the shop to keep an eye out for suspicious-looking people in the crowd.

The duo turned their heads to find the future Young Madam pushing their Young Master towards the hats section while trying on all sorts of hats on their Young Master's head like she was trying on her precious mannequin doll.

After trying about twenty hats, Su Yayan's gaze abruptly fell on the green hat[1] at the corner of the section.

Huo Chenhuan, "…"

Yu Ziyan, Gu Shaoyang, "!!!"
