Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A shop assistant quickly came over and said, "This dress is part of our new collection for the season. It has only arrived recently and flatters the figure."

She removed the dress from its hanger as she spoke and passed it to Shen Manting. "Go ahead and try it on. You'll look great in it since you have such a nice figure."

Shen Manting looked at the dress and felt tempted.

The pink dress made one appear slim and looked appealing.

At a glance, she noticed that the dress came in a small size.

She couldn't imagine herself being able to fit into that dress.

She was used to wearing larger sizes…

She took the dress and entered the fitting room hesitatingly.

Her jaw dropped when she saw the price tag.

She counted the digits.

4,800 yuan.

Shen Manting's hands were shaking.

The dress was ridiculously expensive!

If she was still working at her previous job, she could only afford the dress after forgoing meals for an entire month!

Shen Luo'an had already spent 20,000 yuan on infant supplies. If he were to buy the dress for her at this price…

But it was indeed a beautiful dress!

After checking the price, Shen Manting felt an even stronger urge to try the dress.

After all… trying it on cost nothing.

Shen Manting hesitated for a moment and decided to try it on.

She slipped into the dress and zipped it up.

She had tied her hair into a ponytail to make it easier to carry her child, but now her locks had been ruffled into a mess.

In the end, she simply undid her ponytail and let her long, lustrous tresses fall over her shoulders.

She opened the door and walked out. The shop assistant exclaimed, "Wow!" She wasn't sure if she meant it.

Shen Luo'an turned around and looked at her when he heard her stepping out of the fitting room.

His eyes lit up as his gaze rested on her figure.

Shen Manting had evidently lost a lot of weight.

Nevertheless, she still had curves in all the right places.

Her waist was slender, her bust was full, and her voluptuous figure was in perfect shape.

With her hair down, she appeared to have regained her former charm.

The effervescent, confident, angelic Shen Manting from the past.

However, he felt sympathetic for the new Shen Manting.

Shen Manting also couldn't believe her eyes when she looked at her own reflection in the mirror.

But… this dress was too expensive…

"We'll take the dress she's wearing. Let her try these on, too."

Shen Luo'an had chosen a few more garments for her, including skirts, blouses, and trousers.

The shop assistant took the garments from him with a smile and said, "All right, I'll pass you new stock from the warehouse. Please wait a moment."

Shen Manting was disturbed by her conscience. She walked over to Shen Luo'an from behind and tugged lightly at his sleeve. "The dress costs 5,000 yuan! It's too expensive. Let's go to another shop!"

Shen Luo'an glanced at her and said, "What are you fussing over? You don't even need to pay for it."

Then, he nudged her as he spoke. "I'll be bringing you along on more outings in the future. Are you going to embarrass me with your outmoded outfits?"

His words seemed to have overwhelmed her.

Shen Manting was stunned. Shen Luo'an gave her another nudge before she could come to her senses. "Help her to change."

The shop assistant obeyed and responded quickly.

"I'll try them on myself!" Shen Manting took the clothes from the shop assistant's hands.

Every time she emerged with a new set of clothes, Shen Luo'an simply said, "We'll take it."

Shen Manting thought he was out of his mind. She hissed through clenched teeth, "Do you think you've hit the jackpot?"

"No," Shen Luo'an pursed his lips, "but I'm still able to afford some clothes."

"Shen Luo'an!" Shen Manting stomped her feet out of frustration. She bit her lip and whispered, "I'll never pay you back!"

That was a huge sum to make up for!

The clothes in this store were particularly expensive. She used to be reluctant to buy anything there.

But now, he was suddenly presenting her with so many outfits. She felt her heart bleeding with guilt.

Although she didn't have to pay a single yuan, he had to spend a considerable fortune on her.

"I don't expect you to pay me back," Shen Luo'an whispered. "You gave birth to my child. Do I have to conceive a child to repay you, too?"
