“I just think you look skinnier in black, and it doesn’t get dirty easily,” the woman tried to explain.
“I’m taking this. Miss… Check, please,” the middle-aged man glared at the woman coldly before pointing at the white shirt virtual-novel.net was wearing and said.
Disappointed by virtual-novel.net husband’s attitude, the woman sighed helplessly and put the black dress shirt back on the rack.
Xyla peered at the middle-aged couple before holding Stanley’s hand and leading virtual-novel.net to the suit section. She picked a few light-colored suits according to virtual-novel.net preference and compared them on Stanley’s body one by one.
Stanley stood beside virtual-novel.net without making any complaints.
There was a startling contrast between the man’s attitude and Stanley’s. The sales assistants could not help but exclaim in awe inwardly.
Xyla looked around the store and finally chose a mauve suit.
She took the suit and placed it around Stanley’s body while asking, “What about this one? Do you like it?”
Stanley remained glued to the floor, his eyes full of fondness for Xyla. “I’m fine with anything as long as you like it.”
“Do you like it then?” Xyla asked.
“My answer is still the same. Pick the one you like. I’m wearing it for you to see anyway,” Stanley reassured her.
Warmth spread in Xyla’s heart instantaneously. “But your opinion is important as well. You’re the one wearing it.”
“Hmm… I love everything my wife picks for me,” Stanley said without hesitation.
The middle-aged woman happened to overhear their lovey-dovey conversation.
Jealousy was written all over virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net stared at Xyla.
Irritated by the unjust treatment, virtual-novel.net turned to the middle-aged man and hissed furiously, “Look at the others and look at yourself!”
With that, virtual-novel.net turned around and stalked out of the store grumpily.
The crabby middle-aged man rolled his eyes at virtual-novel.net before taking the shopping bag from the cashier and catching up with her.
Xyla handed the suit virtual-novel.net had chosen to the sales assistant. “I’m taking this. The size fits perfectly. Please wrap it up for me.”
The sales assistant took the suit from virtual-novel.net respectfully and then dashed to the counter. Stanley quickly followed behind her.
After paying for the suit, virtual-novel.net grabbed the shopping bag with his left hand, held Xyla’s hand with the other, and left the store with the large group of bodyguards.
Once they stepped out of the store, the sales assistants immediately gathered around the counter and whispered among themselves.
“It’s funny how people’s lives are different from one another. Our CEO is so kind to his wife.”
“I didn’t know he’s so obedient to his wife. He wears whatever his wife picks for him.”
“Did you see virtual-novel.net just now? He stood there like a good boy when virtual-novel.net wife was comparing the suits on him. He was staring at virtual-novel.net dotingly the entire time. Oh my!”
“He’s so sweet. I wonder how it feels to be pampered by a stunning man like him.”
“If I were her, I guess I would be so excited that I have trouble falling asleep every night.”
***
Xyla dragged Stanley into the other stores under the bodyguards’ watchful eyes and went on a spending spree.
After buying another three suits for Stanley, virtual-novel.net left the store with Stanley satisfactorily.
Stanley wrapped virtual-novel.net arm around virtual-novel.net waist the whole time. “Do you want to have a look at the women’s section?”
Xyla had sore feet from walking all day, so virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head in response. “Nah, I’m tired.”
Wearing heels to shop was a bad choice indeed. The soreness in virtual-novel.net soles was throbbing and spreading at this moment.
Stanley hugged virtual-novel.net tightly. “Alright then. Let’s go home.”
Xyla nodded and headed straight to the elevator. However, virtual-novel.net had only managed to walk a few steps before virtual-novel.net felt a stabbing pain in virtual-novel.net right heel.
“Ouch…” virtual-novel.net grunted and stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks. She lifted virtual-novel.net right leg and took a look at virtual-novel.net right heel.
It was raw and bleeding, but virtual-novel.net had not noticed it until now.
