Qin Chuchu’s face burned as if on fire, yet she couldn’t argue back.
The shop assistant also smiled. “You two are truly a match made in heaven—a handsome couple, a perfect pair!”
“And seeing how inseparable you are, you must definitely be newlyweds!”
“There aren’t many men these days who accompany their wives to buy lingerie. Sir, you really are a wonderful husband who dotes on his wife!”
Bai Jinghong turned to look at Qin Chuchu. “Hear that? I’m a wonderful husband!”
Qin Chuchu lightly thumped him. “You’re just being wicked!”
The shop assistant, very perceptive, laughed lightly:
“A couple flirting so amorously—your marital life must be quite progressive. I’m sure you’re brave in trying new things!”
“Please, come this way. Over here we have this year’s newest and hottest designs!”
Qin Chuchu was too mortified to show her face, tugging at Bai Jinghong, unwilling to go over.
Bai Jinghong chuckled. “Come on, let’s go take a look. She’s right, we absolutely must try more new things!”
Then he firmly pulled Qin Chuchu over.
The shop assistant picked up a black thong, smilingly asking Qin Chuchu, “Miss, what do you think of this style?”
“Th-This… is this considered clothing?” Qin Chuchu turned her head away.
Bai Jinghong curled his lip. “It’s certainly avant-garde. It’s practically just a few strips of cloth!”
“We’re not quite that progressive yet.”
“Oh, then what about this one?”
The assistant picked up another set of black silk lingerie with a lightweight design, semi-transparent, trimmed with lace.
It looked very exquisite.
Bai Jinghong nodded. “This style’s not bad. Take a look.”
Qin Chuchu had no choice but to turn back. She glanced at it—the style was indeed alright, the craftsmanship exquisite, and it was very beautiful.
So she took it.
However, the moment it landed in her hands, she hastily tossed it back.
The assistant was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
Qin Chuchu bit her lip. “It’s so sheer. Wearing it would be the same as not wearing it, no?”
The assistant smiled gently. “Miss, isn’t that precisely the allure of novelty lingerie?”
“Visible yet hidden, it enhances the mood between husband and wife! Wearing this set, I guarantee your husband will love you even more, love you so much he won’t want to let go!”
Qin Chuchu still blushed crimson, refusing to speak.
She didn’t know what to say. When had she ever encountered a situation like this!
Seeing Qin Chuchu’s expression, the assistant was very curious. “Miss, is there something you need? You can tell me!”
Qin Chuchu’s pretty face was flushed beyond belief. Looking at Bai Jinghong, she found him grinning mischievously at her too.
So she hurriedly said, “Anyway, I definitely can’t wear this. Let’s pick something else!”
The assistant nodded. “Alright then!”
She searched for a moment and brought out another set of lace lingerie with a cut-out design.
Wearing this set, the parts that should be exposed would be exposed, and the parts that shouldn’t be exposed would certainly be exposed too.
Qin Chuchu didn’t even take it, waving her hands repeatedly. “No way, no way, absolutely not!”
The assistant was truly baffled. “Miss, why are you so shy in front of your husband? Could it be… that you two still haven’t… been intimate?”
The assistant was genuinely curious now. People coming to the novelty section definitely shouldn’t be acting like this.
And as a shop assistant, although her words might be a bit blunt, it was all normal human nature and common conversational topics when selling this type of intimate apparel.
“How is that possible?” Bai Jinghong quickly jumped in, laughing. “Even if she were unwilling, I wouldn’t be able to hold back. We do it at least three times a day!”
“Three times?” The assistant covered her mouth in shock. “Every day?”
“Of course, with such a beautiful wife, three times feels too few!”
“Besides, we’re young and in good health. Generally, once when we wake up in the morning, we squeeze in a session around noon, and there’s always one more before bed at night. As for extras… well, depending on the mood, if the feeling strikes, we definitely add bonus rounds!”
The assistant was stunned, covering her mouth, somewhat dumbfounded. “You… you two are amazing!”
Qin Chuchu stomped her feet in embarrassment and couldn’t help but hit Bai Jinghong several times.
Bai Jinghong laughed heartily. “She’s just shy. Even after so many times, she’s still shy!”
“Find her something a little more conservative to look at!”
“O-Okay…”
The assistant glanced at Bai Jinghong with a hint of awe. Doing it that many times a day and still so energetic—truly remarkable.
Finally, after searching for a moment, the assistant found an elegant lingerie set with ribbon ties.
Qin Chuchu looked at it for a long while without speaking.
She calculated that this set was already relatively conservative. If she rejected it again, Bai Jinghong would probably keep looking endlessly.
That rascal’s intentions were perfectly clear to her, naturally. So this time, Qin Chuchu didn’t show any intention of refusing.
“F-Fine then, we’ll get this set!”
Once decided, Bai Jinghong went to pay first, then merrily led Qin Chuchu out of the store.
Only when they were far away from that shop did Qin Chuchu let out a long breath of relief.
Everything felt like a dream, far too surreal.
She never imagined that one day she would walk into that kind of shop with a scoundrel and even buy… embarrassing clothes.
But afterwards, there were no more blush-inducing segments.
Overall, Qin Chuchu had quite enjoyed herself on this outing.
It wasn’t until they were heading back that Qin Chuchu started getting nervous again.
Having bought that kind of clothing earlier… wouldn’t Bai Jinghong have those kinds of intentions?
Would he make her wear them to show him?
A flurry of nervousness, embarrassment, and worry surged up all at once.
Finally, Bai Jinghong’s car slowly pulled up outside her villa.
Lost in thought the entire way, Qin Chuchu had arrived home.
She opened the car door and got out.
But seeing that Bai Jinghong didn’t seem to be getting out, she couldn’t help but ask out of confusion, “You… aren’t you coming down?”
The moment the words left her mouth, Qin Chuchu instantly regretted it.
She wanted to slap her own mouth.
Hadn’t she just given Bai Jinghong an excuse to tease her?
Bai Jinghong merely laughed heartily. “You were spacing out the whole ride. You must have been overly nervous.”
“Don’t worry. As lustful as I am, I’ll more or less still consider your feelings.”
“Go back and rest well. Remember the planning work, alright!”
Bai Jinghong blew a flying kiss toward Qin Chuchu, then with an exaggerated swerve, roared off into the distance.
Watching Bai Jinghong’s car disappear from sight, Qin Chuchu stood rooted to the spot, lost in thought for a while before finally returning to her villa.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side, inside one of the villas within the Bai Family Estate.
Shen Yaoyao had also returned home.
She was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the mountain of gifts beside her.
These were all things Bai Jinghong’s mother had bought her while taking her shopping that afternoon.
Pick any item at random, and it was an incredibly expensive gift.
But what Shen Yaoyao cared about wasn’t the value, but the feeling.
From Ji Qiuwan, Shen Yaoyao had actually experienced maternal love.
This was something she had never dared to hope for, yet it had genuinely happened to her.
That kind of enthusiasm one shows a daughter-in-law, along with all the small details and doting affection… it truly left Shen Yaoyao bewildered.
Just then, Shen Yaoyao’s phone suddenly chimed with an incoming message, interrupting her reminiscence.
She picked it up to look, and the gentle smile that had been on her face instantly turned dead serious.
Because the person messaging her was none other than her superior, Hades—Chen Lin!
It was also a simple “Are you free for a call?”
Shen Yaoyao sighed, didn’t reply, and directly dialed the number back.
Chen Lin picked up quickly, and his voice was extremely grim. “Yaoyao, what exactly are you up to?”
The opening line was already an interrogation.
