The Bamboo Shoot Who Married into a Wealthy Family [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 4

The lights of the high-end shopping mall were all turned on, creating a bright, sprawling expanse where glass display cabinets reflected brilliant glimmers under the illumination.

The mall was enormous. The shop assistants, wearing exquisite makeup, waited with beaming smiles. The corridors of the mall were very spacious, but not a single customer was seen walking around.

The shop assistants kept the smiles on their faces, but their hearts were already surging with turbulent waves!

A notice had been issued yesterday stating that President Feng would be coming to inspect the mall. To avoid affecting the customer experience, all shops were ordered to open early.

But… who would come to inspect a mall while holding hands with a little cutie? This was clearly a case of using public office for private gain—he had brought his darling baby here for a “buy, buy, buy” spree!

Lin Xiaozhu, the old antique, looked around curiously, the leaves on his head shaking along with his movements.

“Didn’t you say it wasn’t time for the shops to open yet? Why are all these stores open?”

“It’s rare for us to come out shopping. It would be too boring to only visit clothing stores, shoe stores, and supermarkets. Since the shops are open, we can walk and look at the same time. If there’s anything interesting, we can drop in.”

Feng Jingbo took the initiative to reach out, leaning down with a smile: “Remember to hold on tight, don’t get lost.”

He was treating Lin Xiaozhu entirely like a child.

Lin Xiaozhu reached out and grasped that broad, large palm. There were thin calluses on his hand; it was very warm and provided a great sense of security.

“Mm, Hubby, I’ll follow you closely. But holding hands like this isn’t tight enough. Let’s change the posture.”

As Lin Xiaozhu spoke, he separated Feng Jingbo’s fingers one by one, then placed his own fingers into the gaps, locking them together in a ten-finger interlace.

“This way, we won’t be separated.”

Feng Jingbo chuckled: “Mm, let’s go.”

Getting married felt like taking care of a child, but the feeling… wasn’t bad.

Lin Xiaozhu’s head was full of thoughts about how to seduce the man after they got married. Do it more often to increase the probability. The sooner he gave birth to the little bamboo shoots, the sooner he could go back home to cultivate~

The two arrived at a luxury men’s clothing store. The storefront was huge, with all kinds of apparel available. The shop occupied a massive area, housing men’s clothing from various luxury brands, spanning all age groups from children’s wear to elderly fashion.

As soon as Lin Xiaozhu entered, he was drawn to a specific item. He proactively let go of Feng Jingbo’s hand and scurried over on his short little legs.

Feng Jingbo squeezed his now-empty hand, a helpless expression appearing on his face.

He was being so well-behaved just a moment ago, but as soon as he entered the store, he ran off—he truly still had the temperament of a child.

Including the set he was currently wearing, Lin Xiaozhu only had three sets of clothes in total. There were far too many types of clothing to buy, which was why Feng Jingbo had specifically chosen this large store.

Men’s fashion usually had fewer varieties than women’s. Everywhere the eye could see was dominated by black, white, and gray, with other colors serving as soulful accents.

But there was one area that was colorful and distinct from the rest.

—The pajama section.

Lin Xiaozhu took down a pair of pajamas with a cartoon bamboo print and gestured with them against himself in front of the mirror.

His eyes sparkled and the corners of his mouth tilted up, like a little rabbit that had discovered a carrot.

“Hubby, does it look good?” Lin Xiaozhu turned around, tilting his head to look at him.

Explosively cute!

“It looks good. Wrap it up. Pick out a few more.” Feng Jingbo stood there quietly waiting with one hand in his pocket. A gentle smile was on his face, without a hint of impatience.

A man who can patiently accompany someone while shopping is truly a rare breed.

The shop assistant was even more dumbfounded.

Hubby? President Feng is married?!

Feng Jingbo was a famous golden bachelor in City A. These luxury mall assistants were all very sharp, so they naturally recognized this VIP. Even though Feng Jingbo usually selected styles from magazines and had the shop staff deliver them to him in the past.

Lin Xiaozhu picked out a few more pairs of pajamas, all of which had cartoon images.

Feng Jingbo was somewhat surprised: “You really like this kind of cute clothing?”

“Yes, it lets me pretend to be tender and look young.”

Lin Xiaozhu leaned in close to Feng Jingbo’s ear and whispered: “You like wearing black, white, and gray, which makes you look especially steady and reliable. I’m not like you young people. I’m already 500 years old, so I need to wear some vibrant colors to have a bit more vitality.”

Feng Jingbo stared at that delicate, cute, and youthful face of his and fell silent.

A person who didn’t even look cute or young at twenty-seven had no right to speak.

The two were whispering in each other’s ears, and Feng Jingbo had a doting look on his face. The shop assistant watched with burning eyes, feeling incredibly envious.

Not long ago, Old Master Feng was still claiming on Weibo that he wanted to solicit a marriage for President Feng. In less than a week, President Feng was married.

Reasonably speaking, such a short timeframe should indicate a contract marriage. But look at President Feng—personally accompanying him on a shopping trip, buying everything with a wave of his pen, and even whispering secrets!

This is so sweet it’s sickening, I’m not eating this dog food!

After choosing the pajamas, Lin Xiaozhu picked out several sets of daily casual wear.

“Hubby, I’m done picking.”

Feng Jingbo chuckled: “It’s too little. Pick some more.”

Lin Xiaozhu scratched his head in frustration: “It’s enough. Besides, there are so many clothes here, my eyes are getting dizzy from choosing.”

“Alright then. Let’s pick out an outfit for taking the marriage certificate photo now. How about a white shirt?” Feng Jingbo took a shirt off the rack and held it up against Lin Xiaozhu to measure.

Lin Xiaozhu looked in the mirror: “Mm, not bad. I’ll go try it on.”

Feng Jingbo also took a white shirt of the same style in a different size and went into the changing room to switch clothes.

Soon, both of them pulled back the curtains of the changing rooms and stood side-by-side in front of the mirror.

Feng Jingbo had a refined and gentle appearance, and the clean white shirt added a bit of scholarly air to him. The sharpness he displayed during business deals was entirely tucked away. In front of the mirror, he looked like a gentleman of the nobility, elegant and possessed of great temperament.

Lin Xiaozhu had a delicate and cute face. Wearing a white shirt actually gave off the feeling of a child secretly wearing an adult’s clothes. His eyes were clear and clean, and he looked as tender as a green onion, making one unable to resist the urge to ravage him!

“This set it is.” Feng Jingbo gave Lin Xiaozhu a light push. “Change back into your original clothes. You can put this on later when we take the marriage photo.”

“Why? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to just wear it now?”

Lin Xiaozhu wrung his brain but couldn’t figure it out, his head so conflicted that bamboo leaves almost started falling off.

“I’m afraid that if you don’t change your clothes, I’ll look away for one second and you’ll be kidnapped by some pervert.” Feng Jingbo laughed and pushed the person toward the changing room door.

Lin Xiaozhu bent down, made a fist, and lightly hammered his slightly aching legs.

“Tired? Once you’re done changing, I’ll take you to get something to eat. We’ll rest for a bit before going to buy other things.”

“Okay.” Lin Xiaozhu’s eyes immediately crinkled into a smile.

He was originally a little bamboo shoot that grew in the soil all day. After walking for a long time, his roots would get very tired. Hubby was truly too considerate~

Feng Jingbo walked to the counter and swept his gaze over the dozens of shopping bags.

Too few!

“For the clothes picked out just now, bring one of every color in the same style. Deliver them to the house today.”

The cashier girl at the counter was stunned: “Alright.”

The shop assistant was filled with envy and jealousy, silently flipping through the bags to confirm the styles so she could collect the other colors.

She couldn’t even afford one piece, and the rich man just collected them as a set! Why wasn’t she a cute and beautiful boy!

Lin Xiaozhu’s eyes suddenly lit up, looking at the other with admiration: “Hubby, you’re so smart. This way, I won’t have to wring my brain to choose when I’m short on clothes.”

Feng Jingbo chuckled and reached out to rub his head.

“Let’s go. Hubby is taking you to eat.”

After saying that, Feng Jingbo prepared to leave. Lin Xiaozhu, however, pulled at the corner of his clothes: “Wait, we still have something left to do.”

“What?”

Lin Xiaozhu smiled, lifted Feng Jingbo’s hand, and interlaced their fingers together.

Feng Jingbo laughed: “Mm, this way there’s no fear of getting lost. Let’s go.” Little kid.

One floor of the mall was dedicated to selling all kinds of delicacies. Feng Jingbo took Lin Xiaozhu to eat some snacks before continuing their shopping trip.

This time, their goal was to buy shoes.

“Xiaozhu, how many pairs of shoes do you have?”

“Two pairs. One pair of cloth shoes that I’m wearing now, and one pair of slippers for when I shower.”

Poor to the point of clarity!

In the middle of the shoe store were soft, long benches. After picking out shoes, one could sit on them, lift a foot, and change shoes to see if they fit.

“Slippers, sneakers, cloth shoes, leather shoes… buy a few pairs of each of these.” After Feng Jingbo finished his instructions, he left Lin Xiaozhu to choose for himself.

Lin Xiaozhu was quite interested in shoes. He took down a pair of sneakers, pulled out the paper wadded inside, and then put his foot in.

He picked up the two white shoelaces and threaded them through the holes one by one. Then… he tilted his head and stared at them for a long time without moving.

“What’s wrong?” Feng Jingbo’s brow furrowed as he asked with concern.

Lin Xiaozhu looked up at Feng Jingbo piteously, like a little animal that had done something wrong. His voice was also very small, lacking confidence: “I… I don’t know how to tie shoelaces.”

Only then did Feng Jingbo notice that the cloth shoes Lin Xiaozhu was wearing today were secured with Velcro.

Hearing this, the shop assistant chuckled. She started to walk over, intending to tie the laces for Lin Xiaozhu, when she saw Feng Jingbo, who had been sitting on the sofa bench, move.

Feng Jingbo stood up and crouched down in front of Lin Xiaozhu. He picked up the two laces: “Look closely, this is how you tie a shoelace.”

“Mm.” Lin Xiaozhu responded, lowering his head to stare intently. His hands were also placed properly on his knees—a total good baby.

Feng Jingbo’s fingers were long and powerful, very beautiful.

Lin Xiaozhu dazed off for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, focusing on the person’s movements and learning seriously.

“See, one bow-knot is finished. Try the other foot yourself.”

“Mm.” Lin Xiaozhu lifted the laces and crossed them.

Feng Jingbo gave encouragement and guidance while watching: “Yes, just like that. Hook it through here…”

“Done!” Lin Xiaozhu looked up, his large obsidian-like eyes sparkling. He had only tied a bow-knot, yet he acted as if he had completed a great engineering project.

Feng Jingbo was also very supportive, reaching out to rub his small head and praising him: “You learned so fast.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaozhu revealed a sweet smile.
