Getting ready both Weimo and Xiaomin left to the mall. Even though Xiaomin had enough of dresses, but she wanted to go for shopping to get some fresh air to reassure herself that she is alive and back to life. Also there was one more reason... She wanted to figure out something.
The only way to do it was shopping.
Imperial mall, one of the best place located in the heart of Shangai. This was also a subsidary of M&M, Weimo's company. Though most of the shares, around 80% belonged to Weimo's company but it was never publicised. Weimo had many hidden investments which probably even his financial manager didn't knew.
Going around, Xiaomin went inside men's store and started looking through shirts.
On the other side weimo kept on finding the right opportunity to talk to Xiaomin about the changes but was unable to do so till now.... He was concerned, as he was happy that Xiaomin was warming up to him and accepting the relationship, but he was also worried that him asking her would be viewed by her as doubting her and that could create rift between them.
Trying to frame the question in the most simplest way, he kept on finding an appropriate chance. Just when he thought Xiaomin as usual will go to A Store or C store, she surprisingly entered Y store which was men's clothing brand.
'Is she going to buy clothes for me? But didn't she say she wanted to buy some simple dresses for herself? ' thought Weimo and kept on following Xiaomin.
Inside the store,
It was first time that Xiaomin visited the store, She had never bought men's clothes before this. Even for Weimo, his clothes were all custom made from their designers. And most importantly, he usually wears white shirt, black trousers and black coat. For special ocassions, he will change black to silver that was it. Weimo had a pretty monotonus wardrobe.
Going through the shirt section, Xiaomin was just brushing through when a simple skyblue coloured shirt caught her eye. There were no prints or designs on that shirt, just simple shirt along with plane white buttons.
Xiaomin touched and felt the fabric of the shirt, 'It feels soft and breathable material'
Asking the sales attendent to wrap it up Xiaomin went towards the tie section.
The tie section was located closer to the corridor and would give a clear view of something that Xiaomin wanted to observe. All this time Weimo kept walking behind her while carefully observing her each and every move. When Xiaomin bought the shirt he felt, probably she really wanted to gift him something. But as she moved to the tie section and just pretended to look at them, while actually looking across the corridor...confused Weimo even more.
Across the corridor,
It was a lingerie store . It was a very new and emerging brand, thus its clothes were not cheap but were not expensive as well.
Inside the store, a man was choosing some erotic lingerie with a lady besides him. Looking at them someone could mistake them as husband and wife. Soon a women with a big belly, almost around seven months pregnant came dashing towards the couple. Turning the women around with force the pregnant lady slapped her hard.
The slap was so hard that the women fell to the ground. The man was terrified, and instead of helping the women get up from the ground he knelt down and caught the pregnant women's leg and started begging and apologizing.
Not paying any attention to her husband, the pregnant lady asked her bodyguards to take that disgusting man away and left. The pregnant lady was the daughter of Army major while her husband was just about to be promoted to a captain. Breaking a military marriage was a crime and specially when both parties belonged to army background.....it was more problematic. In her last life this incident was captured in a video by some passerby and was doing rounds in the news for almost a month. Being house arrested, Xiaomin's only connection to the outer world was social media where she saw this clip.
Today Xiaomin came here to verify if she actually did not return from her dream and everything that she had gone through was a reality or not.
