"Broooooo!"

The twins Yunru and Yubi jumped on their elder brother as soon as they just took one step inside. But one look at Guiying and they realized instantly that something was wrong.

"What happened, sis?" Yubi asked, concerned. "Why do your eyes look so red?"

She put her hands on her waist and fumed at Zixin. "Bro, how could you! How come she cried when you were there with her? This is not how you are supposed to take care of her!"

"You are right…" Zixin lowered his head in shame, and his shoulders dropped.

"No, no!" Guiying hastily came to his defense. "Zixin did nothing wrong."

"Then how can you cry with him around you?" Yunru demanded an answer as well. "He did a poor job of taking care of you. That's why Bro must be punished!"

"Like I said, Zixin is not at fault…" she anxiously continued to explain but the twins were lost in their world to resolve this serious matter.

Yubi declared. "To pay for this sin, Bro will empty all his pockets for sis Guiying's sake!"

"Yes, Bro will take sis shopping and will bend to her command for the entire day. The sky's the limit hohoho!"

Zixin brightened with this idea and nodded heavily. "I will do whatever she says."

The twins nodded with appreciation.

"N-No that's not required-"

"Sis, you don't have to be reserved! After all, you are going to be the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. You must learn to spend your future husband's money to the fullest," Yubi bobbed her head. "Look at Mom and Grandma. Don't they do the same?"

Zixin followed with the nod. "Spend all my money. Everything belonging to me is yours only."

Guiying didn't know how to face them. It had been some time since she had started living in the Chen villa, but she still wasn't used to them addressing her as the future daughter-in-law of the family. Her cheeks turned pink everytime she would think of them as a husband and wife.

B-But we aren't even dating yet…

"I…well, I…I remember I have to freshen up!"

Guiying scurried away like the squirrel, averting her gaze from the trio of siblings.

"Hehe, sister-in-law was blushing~" Yunru sheepishly grinned.

"It's good now," Yubi nodded. "Now sister-in-law won't think about the melancholic memories."

Zixin had already notified them how Guiying was feeling low and missing Zhan Yahui. The twins didn't completely understand her feelings as they still resented her for hurting their brother. But they also tried to understand Guiying's point of view who had definitely spent far more time with Zhan Yahui than them.

Yubi said, "It's a hard time for sister-in-law. That's why Bro. You have to be extra careful and extra attentive towards her. It is only with everybody's support that she would be able to come to terms with what has happened."

"Yes," Zixin's gaze dimmed. "I won't let Guiying become sad anymore. All those dark and gloomy days are gone. Now it's only time for her to smile and shine."

"You can take whatever you want here."

Zixin explained very sincerely to Guiying that no matter what she wanted from the shopping complex, it would be hers. The shopping trip set up by the twins was a source of bliss for Zixin whereas it was a source of a mountain of stress for Guiying, who wasn't used to visiting high-end, luxurious stores.

Guiying's eyes lit up, who liked a beautiful purple dress passing by a fashion store. But as soon as her gaze fell on the tag, her lit up eyes popped out of her sockets, trying to control her choke.

She promptly turned away but Zixin's intervention pulled her into the store. "The purple dress," he politely asked the store attendant, pointing at the dress.

"Nooo!"

Guiying urgently whispered. "I was just looking at it. I don't want it."

He frowned. "Your eyes definitely lit up with joy. You definitely want it."

"Y-You are mistaken…"

"I am not."

"Weren't you looking at something else?" She sweated.

"Why would I look at anything else? I only look at you."

"..."

Exiting the store, Guiying held the delicate paper bag which contained the exorbitantly expensive purple dress. That light paper bag felt extraordinarily heavy to her.

I think I have spent three years worth of my earnings on this dress? Or is it five?

To Guiying, this shopping trip was definitely over. She had crossed way over her budget and there was nothing left to look around anymore.

"Let's have lunch!" She chirped.

Zixin frowned once again. "It's early for lunch. We haven't toured through the whole mall either."

"I d-don't want to tour the whole mall…" her pale expression tried to bring a smile to her lips. "I am done."

"But a woman has many things to buy. A woman's shopping is very deep and complicated. It's beyond the normal understanding of a human. How can it get over with just one dress?"

"Huh? Deep and complicated? Normal understanding? Who told you that?"

"Mom, Grandma and Yubi."

"..."

"Don't worry. My shopping is not so deep and complicated. Look, we are done already!"

"We are not done. I haven't spent anything on you yet," he pursed his lips.

Guiying felt betrayed at that moment.

Excuse me, the heavy bag that I am holding says otherwise!

So more than Guiying shopping around the mall, it was Zixin who pulled her into all the stores and bought everything that she liked. Though Guiying did her best not to express any sense of liking towards any product, she failed miserably. The end result being Guiying freezing over the bill amount and losing her sense of balance.

'Guiying' sneered. "Get used to it. You have a very rich boyfriend now."

"H-He is not my boyfriend…!"

Zixin tapped on her shoulder, and she turned.

"Y-Yes…?"

"Is 'she' also here?" He asked beamingly. "You were talking to her, right?"

Guiying blinked. "J-Just for a moment…"

Oh no. Did I look weird talking to myself?

"What does 'she' like? Did 'she' like anything from here?" He probed. "After all, I am taking you both shopping. But 'she' didn't say anything yet, so I thought nothing fancied her. Is there anything that caught 'her' eye?"
