Chapter 21
Shopping
The next morning, Mo Yu followed Su Mei out. Before leaving, Su Mei did not forget to ask Mo Yu what kind of car she liked. Everything today was according to her preferences.
It’s good to be rich! Mo Yu sat in the Maybach happily and greeted Gu Lian in her heart.
“Good morning, Hubby! Mommy is bringing me to buy clothes today. I’m going to attend Mo Xue’s banquet tonight, so I’ll have less time to accompany you today. Don’t miss me too much!”
It was rare that Gu Lian did not bicker with her. Instead, he wished her a good time.
The ward was still quiet. Occasionally, there were birds chirping outside the window. When Gu Lian thought of what the doctor had said yesterday, he felt that the future was promising.
Su Mei brought Mo Yu to the mall and planned to give her a makeover from head to toe. Gu Zi also experienced what it meant for a woman to shop. He was extremely regretful now.
Mo Yu was first dragged to the makeup area to pick items. From cleanser to foundation, the beauty consultant in the store offered samples one by one. She did test eyeshadows or lipsticks, because Su Mei generously bought one of each type and shade for Mo Yu.
According to Su Mei, different clothes needed different makeup, and different makeup needed different eye shadows and lipsticks. Instead of wasting time, it was better to buy them all.
Mo Yu looked at the smiling consultant and stepped forward to gently pull Su Mei’s hand. She said sincerely, “Mom, have you considered the possibility that I don’t know how to do makeup?”
At the beginning of the apocalypse, Mo Yu had just gotten into university. She was eager to learn how to put on makeup. After buying a full set of cosmetics, she practiced in the mirror three times and decisively gave up.
She couldn’t tell the difference between eyebrow pencils, eyebrow powders, eyebrow tints. She only knew that when she put everything on her face, the eyeliner looked like a winding caterpillar, and it was the black and thick kind.
There was even less of a need to talk about eye shadow. Not to mention blending or doing cut-creases, just picking the color combination alone gave Mo Yu a headache.
After the whole face was done, it could only be said that Picasso’s abstract art was realistically displayed on the face.
Su Mei had never thought that a young lady would not know how to put on makeup, let alone that Mo Yu’s face was all natural. For a moment, she was speechless. She did not know if she should praise her for her natural beauty or ask her why she did not know how to do makeup.
Fortunately, the counter lady was tactful. She walked over with a smile and handed over the wrapped makeup. “It’s alright, ma’am. If you have any questions about makeup, you can look for me. I’ll do my best to serve you. These are the products you bought. The receipt and the contact information of our shop are in the bag. Thank you for coming. I look forward to seeing you next time!”
Mo Yu sighed in her heart. As expected of a big brand, their service attitude was good.
After the whole morning passed, they only finished shopping for cosmetics. Because they only found out at the last minute that Mo Yu did not know how to do makeup, Su Mei called a stylist and makeup artist and asked them to come to the Gu family at five in the afternoon to help Mo Yu do her makeup and hair.
Lunch was at a place Mo Yu chose. She realized that Su Mei’s taste was similar to hers, so she went to a spicy fish restaurant in the mall. After the three of them were full, they planned to take a break before going to the clothing area to help Mo Yu choose clothes.
Su Mei had been complaining that she had been too busy recently and had not prepared anything. She should have prepared custom-made clothes for Mo Yu in advance.
Mo Yu didn’t have much desire for this, but after all, since the elder was feeling guilty, she still had to comfort her. “Mom, it’s not your fault. It’s not too late to take measurements now. Besides, you’re already so good to me. What else can I be dissatisfied with?”
Mo Yu had always been sweet. After being coaxed, Su Mei was overjoyed.
The host’s figure and appearance were all top-notch. It was just that the host had grown up in the countryside and felt too inferior, so this pearl was covered in dust. Now, Mo Yu slept and ate well every day. Her entire body was radiant and she was praised by the salesperson for everything she wore.
In just an hour, Mo Yu had changed into almost twenty sets of clothes. She was so tired that she just wanted to lie down.
Sometimes, a gift from the heavens was the best thing.
Mo Yu called out in her heart, “Hubby, I need you!”
“What do you want?”
“I’m tired of shopping. Help me shop.”
“…”
“You’re not even pretending anymore, are you?”
“Hehehe, I love you!”
Mo Yu decisively swapped their souls and lay on the bed to sleep.
Gu Lian stood speechlessly in the changing room, awkwardly looking at the long dress in his hand.
Don’t look. He could just close his eyes and change.
In the next two hours, Gu Lian was mentally and physically exhausted.
He had never thought girls’ clothes would be so troublesome. The zippers were easy, but some of the strap designs made him feel like a trussed crab.
As for those high heels, Gu Lian would empathize with the little mermaid the moment he stood up and walked. He would deeply experience what it meant to walk on the tip of a knife.
