Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Bought for My Husband

Lin Chuxia was shopping up front, while Gu Peng was helping carry things in the back, and soon both hands were filled with bags.

Among them were several pieces of men’s clothing, which were bought for Gu Peng.

Of course, she picked out what she thought was decent, and then had Gu Peng pay for it.

No matter whether Gu Peng wanted to or not, he had to buy them.

The clothes make the man, as the saying goes.

Gu Peng was to work by her side, and in the future, his appearance would largely represent her.

He must not leave people with the impression of a slovenly uncle upon his first appearance.

Lin Chuxia hadn’t been out shopping for a while, and now a large part of the clothing sold in the fashion mall was produced by their own factory.

Whether in style or fabric, they were very trendy and popular among the public.

Lin Chuxia also picked out several pieces for herself.

When she wandered to the men’s section again, Lin Chuxia saw a mannequin wearing a black cotton-linen shirt.

This type of fabric was rare on the market, but it was very comfortable to wear, breathable, and cool.

Amid the popular synthetic materials of today, this fabric was more comfortable, yet few people were buying it.

"Salesperson, could you get me a size 185 of this shirt?"

Lin Chuxia directly asked.

Behind her, Gu Peng glanced at the tag on the clothing and resignedly reached into his pocket.

Before he could pull out the money, an invoice was handed to him first, with a few banknotes on top.

"Help me settle the bill for this clothing."

Gu Peng looked at the invoice and money for a while, and then expressionlessly said, "I still have money myself. I don’t need Mr. Lin to pay for me. Even if I’m out of money, you could still advance my salary."

Lin Chuxia laughed, "What are you thinking? You haven’t even worked for me yet and want your salary advanced for a month? Go on, then. This shirt isn’t for you; it’s for my husband."

Only then did Gu Peng remember that Lin Chuxia’s husband seemed to be about the same height as him.

His tall figure looked at the things being handed over and pressed his lips together.

Just as he was about to take them, a voice came from afar, "Auntie Lin, when did you get here?"

Qin Jianjun saw Lin Chuxia and the others from afar and walked over with big strides.

Upon seeing her holding an invoice and money, he directly took them and handed them to the salesperson nearby, "Settle the bill and wrap up the items."

After the fashion mall was established, Lin Chuxia only managed it for a while.

At present, except for the veteran employees, almost no one knew that Lin Chuxia was the mall’s owner behind the scenes.

Moreover, Lin Chuxia was usually very low-key, always shopping like an ordinary customer whenever she visited the mall.

This not only satisfied her shopping desire but also allowed her to spot any shortcomings in the mall during her shopping.

The young salesperson didn’t recognize Lin Chuxia, but she did recognize Qin Jianjun.

Once she heard Manager Qin addressing her as Aunt Lin, she looked at Lin Chuxia with a different expression.

She had already heard that their Manager Qin was the nephew of the mall’s owner, which meant that the woman before her was the real owner of the mall.

Holding the money, she jogged to the cashier while her mind kept replaying if there was anything she did wrong earlier.

Soon she would have to remind her colleagues that the boss had visited incognito again, and everyone had to be on their toes and pay attention to their service quality.

Lin Chuxia was still unaware that her appearance had once again elevated the service quality of the fashion mall, as she was listening to Qin Jianjun talk to her.

It turned out that the police station called him again this morning.

Yang Rui was taken away by the police station yesterday; the station intended to impose a severe penalty on him.

After all, causing a scene on the rooftop of the city center mall was too disruptive.

The main issue was that he wasn’t genuinely seeking death but was using it to threaten his ex-wife.

Causing such a big commotion had already seriously disturbed public order.

However, before the police could punish him, Yang Rui broke down crying, tears mixed with snot, complaining.

He said there was a child under one year old at home, with no one to care for him and also having a congenital heart disease.

The child’s mother had abandoned them due to the child’s illness, and if he didn’t take care of the child, the child would surely die.

After investigating, it was found that he did indeed have an ailing child.

Plus, he showed a good attitude in admitting his mistakes and appeared so remorseful, almost as if he were expressing his resolve at the police station.

Of course, the police couldn’t let him die, nor could they detain him.

The issue wasn’t big but wasn’t small either, and they couldn’t just watch the child go uncared for.

After criticizing and educating Yang Rui and having him write a letter of guarantee, the police station released him.

But this morning, someone reported to the police again, and it was Yang Rui’s neighbor.

After entrusting his child to a neighbor yesterday, Yang Rui went to the clothing mall to make trouble.

He told the neighbor that he was going to handle some matters and would be back soon.

But the neighbor waited all day and a night without seeing him.

Once they inquired outside, they learned about the rooftop incident at the fashion mall.

The neighbor took the child to the police station, thinking Yang Rui was still there.

But the officers informed them that Yang Rui had been released the previous day.

Now, a living person had disappeared into thin air.

The police station called Qin Jianjun, wanting Wang Tianxue’s contact information, worried that Yang Rui might go looking for Wang Tianxue again, and informed Qin Jianjun to be vigilant.

Who knew what else he might do?

Qin Jianjun now also looked grave, "I’ve already called Manager Wang to remind her to strengthen precautions. The security personnel at Xiyang Clothing Factory have also been notified, and I’ve personally checked the door to the rooftop. It’s securely locked; I just don’t know if this is enough."

Lin Chuxia frowned in thought and finally shook her head, "It’s fine. We’ll keep things as they are here; what we’ve done is already enough, though I think there’s a nine in ten chance Yang Rui won’t come back to cause trouble."

"Why?" Qin Jianjun instinctively asked.

Gu Peng coldly snorted nearby, "He won’t come. Even if you opened the door to the rooftop and let him up, he wouldn’t dare go up."

Lin Chuxia agreed, "He’s someone who clings to life and fears death. Yesterday he probably hadn’t expected the situation to escalate so much, and when he ran into Gu Peng, he almost lost his life. Now with a chance to live, how could he risk it again?"

If Lin Chuxia guessed correctly, that child was abandoned.

That child wasn’t Yang Rui’s blood, and Yang Rui lost what was once a happy family because of him.

Even if Tang Lili was the instigator of all this, now that Tang Lili was nowhere to be found, would Yang Rui place all the blame on that child?

Also, given Yang Rui’s character, he probably wouldn’t raise someone else’s child.

Hearing Lin Chuxia and Gu Peng say this, Qin Jianjun finally felt relieved.
