Chapter 77
Her voice still had a childish tone, so when she mentioned the “honeymoon period,” it naturally felt out of place. Ye Zhi couldn’t help but chuckle, “How do you know about the honeymoon period?”
“Auntie told me.” Huo Ran swung his hand back and forth, “Auntie also told me to ask Dad to quickly find me a new mom so it wouldn’t delay her marriage.”
Ye Zhi’s heart tightened, his smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. “Did you tell Dad about it?”
“Yeah, I said I want Zhi Zhi to be my mom.” The little girl looked up at him, her face full of innocence, completely unaware of how her words affected Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi didn’t dare to ask what Huo Youqiao’s response was. He knew it would probably be something like teaching her that “Auntie is Uncle’s wife.” He quickly said, “Next time, don’t say things like that. It might bother Dad.”
Huo Ran didn’t understand, “Why would it bother him? Dad really likes Zhi Zhi.”
The elevator “dinged,” indicating they had arrived, and many people were waiting at the door. Ye Zhi couldn’t ask Huo Ran how she knew her dad liked him, especially since the beautiful mall quickly caught the little girl’s attention, and she ran towards the shops.
Ye Zhi hurriedly followed.
Although Huo Ran was young, she wasn’t afraid of places like this at all. She had a strong aura, while Ye Zhi felt a bit nervous. At first, he didn’t dare to touch the clothes on display, but gradually he got used to it.
The salespeople in the brand stores had sharp eyes. Seeing Huo Ran, they knew a big customer had arrived. They provided excellent service, recommending many clothes for her to try on and even bringing drinks, snacks, and candies. When the female clerk took Huo Ran to try on clothes, she invited Ye Zhi to sit and rest on the side.
Ye Zhi didn’t dare to leave and stood outside waiting. Every time Huo Ran changed into a new outfit, he took photos and sent them all to Huo Youqiao.
He didn’t have confidence in his own taste, so he let Huo Youqiao make the decisions. Of course, he had asked beforehand if sending messages wouldn’t bother him.
Huo Youqiao’s reply came quickly, carrying a sense of wealth and generosity – buy them all, they all look good.
Since the boss had spoken, Ye Zhi naturally complied. He swiped the card, and the goods didn’t need to be picked up immediately. He could have them delivered to the car or home later. When Ye Zhi looked at the bill, he received another message from Huo Youqiao, asking him to buy a winter coat for him at a certain brand store, and he also sent the size information.
Height, weight, shoulder width, sleeve length, all very detailed.
Ye Zhi immediately felt motivated.
“Buy clothes for Dad? Okay, I know what Dad likes to wear the most.” Huo Ran heard that they would go downstairs later to buy hair accessories and was not unhappy. Instead, she was quite happy.
There were many people in the brand stores, and if you wanted to go in immediately, you had to make an appointment in advance. Without an appointment, you had to queue up. Ye Zhi certainly didn’t make an appointment, so he could only wait outside in line, worrying that Huo Ran would get tired from standing for too long. He simply picked her up.
Originally, Huo Ran’s view was blocked by the crowd, but being lifted allowed her to see everything around her. Of course, she was willing to be carried. Her eyes roamed around, and when she saw a certain spot, her eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted loudly, “Little Uncle, Little Uncle!”
Ye Zhi’s smile on his face froze when he heard this address. At this moment, he just hoped that Huo Ran was referring to any of her uncles except Huo Youcheng. But unfortunately, it was Huo Youcheng.
The other person was inside the brand store where they were queuing. He was clearly a big customer, and even though the others were busy, there were still three store clerks serving him. He wasn’t alone; there was another person with him, who seemed to be male, although slightly smaller in stature.
Ye Zhi’s breathing became chaotic, and he hoped that the noise outside would be too loud for Huo Youcheng to hear, but he didn’t expect his ears to be so sensitive. He quickly turned his head and then locked eyes with them.
When Huo Ran was seen by Huo Youcheng, she waved even more cheerfully, “Little Uncle, Zhi Zhi and I are here…”
Huo Youcheng said something to the person next to him, and soon a clerk came to invite them in.
