"Why? I have money, no worries, I can still support you."
"I know youāre rich!" Xiao Man giggled, "But spending like this all the time leaves life with a little less passion. Since we want to live as ordinary people, why not do it more thoroughly, how about it?"
Her eyes were bright like dazzling jewels.
Li Sinian couldnāt remember how long heād been living like this, but he found Xiao Manās proposal quite interesting.
It probably wasnāt because of the proposal itself, but because of the person who proposed it.
"Alright, whatever you say goes."
"Then letās buy it today, when we get home, you hand over the card to me."
"Alright."
Whether it was stars or the moon, it made no difference to him, as long as she was happy.
...
Xiao Man had been standing in the household goods section for a while, Li Sinian was on the phone, watching from a distance.
He frowned, his voice was relatively light. Since most of it was in Spanish, there was no need for concealment.
After Xiao Man found something she liked and turned around, she saw him frowning.
When he hung up the phone, she walked back and asked, "Whatās up? Is there something going on over there?"
There was a fleeting emotion in her eyes, she smiled slightly: "If somethingās up, you should go. Iāll wait for you at home."
Li Sinian shook his head, "No. Since Iāve promised you to try living as an ordinary person, I canāt just leave you because of these things. Weāre not the same as before now."
"I was just kidding," Xiao Man laughed softly.
Being in his position, how could he truly manage to do it?
Li Sinian had been in that position for so long, and his brothers were very important to him too. She wouldnāt be so selfish as to make him abandon the brothers with whom he shared life-and-death bonds for her.
She had always known that he couldnāt easily give up the people and matters there, and wanting to completely leave that place wouldnāt be possible in the short term.
"If needed, just leave for a while, Iāll take it as if youāre on a business trip."
"Nothing important, Iāve already sent Lucia back, she and Frey can manage the big picture. If things get serious to the point where I absolutely have to go back, I definitely will, donāt worry," he said, then changed the subject, "What did you just have your eyes on? You seemed to really like something."
Since Li Sinian had said this, Xiao Man didnāt insist any further, knowing he had his limits, she nodded and pointed in a direction, "Yeah! Over there, come take a look."
Xiao Man pulled him over to a section full of cups, pointing to two cups, one dark blue and the other pink, the dark blue cup was slightly larger, and the pattern was in the opposite direction.
They were couple mugs.
"You like this?"
"Mhm mhm," Xiao Man nodded, feeling particularly fresh, "Iāve always seen others using couple mugs, letās buy a pair too, the blue one for me, the pink one for you."
"... Isnāt the blue one for me, and the pink one for you?"
Xiao Man gave a bright smile: "We can trade, be a bit different."
"Alright." Li Sinian didnāt argue at all, he would use the pink one if he had to, it didnāt matter.
As long as it was to her liking.
They bought a pair of couple mugs.
Xiao Man was in a great mood because of it.
This was her first relationship, and she wanted to do everything couples could do.
When they arrived at the clothing section, they noticed a certain company had a white T-shirt available in different sizes, with a big heart printed in the middle.
