Chapter 372: Immodest! (2)
It took the trio four hours before they finally concluded the battle.
On their way to the elevator, Lin Jiayi and Shi Yao were leisurely enjoying their ice creams amidst joyful chatter. In contrast to those two, Lin Jiage was lugging along many bags of different sizes behind.
As the three of them boasted attractive faces, they caught many glances from passers-by.
While they were passing by the washroom, Lin Jiayi, who had finished her ice cream at this point in time, suddenly halted her footsteps and flashed a gentle smile toward Shi Yao, “Yaoyao, I’ll be heading into the washroom to wash my hands. Are you coming as well?”
Shi Yao looked at the remaining ice cream in the cup she was holding and quickly gobbled the remaining bit up. When she was finally done, she raised her head to look at Lin Jiayi, and her eyes curved into beautiful crescents as she nodded her head in agreement, “Sure!”
Having received Shi Yao’s agreement, Lin Jiayi turned her gaze toward Lin Jiage.
In the moment that she turned her head over, the smile she had directed toward Shi Yao disappeared without a trace, and even her voice became cold and composed, “You can wait here for me and Yaoyao.”
After finishing her piece, she did not bother waiting for Lin Jiage’s response before grabbing Shi Yao’s wrist and leading her toward the washroom.
Lin Jiage watched as Shi Yao walked toward the washroom, only finally retracting his gaze after her silhouette disappeared from view. He leaned lazily against the glass railing of the shopping mall, waiting for the two ladies with a bored look on his face. Perhaps out of boredom, his gaze was focused downward, where his foot tapped on the ground ceaselessly with a light ‘tak tak’ sound.
It didn’t take too long for a couple of girls to pass by his side, and some of them whipped out their phones to snap shots of him.
Lin Jiage didn’t raise his head to take a look, but he could sense their presence. As those girls persistently lingered in the area, he started to get a little impatient. With a slight frown between his brows, he turned his sights toward the entrance of the female washroom.
There were no signs that Lin Jiayi and Shi Yao would be coming out soon… Seeing that the girls still weren’t leaving, he straightened his body and lugged the bags of clothes into the male washroom.
It wasn’t his primary intention to enter the washroom, but after walking in, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
He didn’t mind keeping Lin Jiayi waiting, but he didn’t want Shi Yao to wait too long for him after leaving the washroom. Thus, he swiftly washed his hands before carrying the bags out once more.
But as he was walking out of the male washroom, he caught sight of a trash can in his peripheral vision. Then, his gaze slowly lowered to the bags he had in his hands.
He couldn’t interfere with what Lin Jiayi was wearing, and he couldn’t be bothered to do so either. Even if she were to race across the streets nude, he wouldn’t voice the slightest word of objection…
However, the same didn’t apply to Soft Bun… Soft Bun was his. Any skin of hers that was revealed to others was equivalent to a loss to him.
The only reason why he praised those clothes desperately and bought them was so as to not incur Soft Bun’s displeasure… But just because he was willing to spend his money on those clothes didn’t mean that he would allow Soft Bun to put them on!
He knew that if Soft Bun were to really bring these clothes home, he wouldn’t be able to stop her whether she wanted to wear them to school or out in the streets. The one and only way he could stop Soft Bun from wearing those clothes was to prevent them from falling into her hands in the very first place!
Everyone had times that they erred, and he was no exception to the rule either…
Having sorted out his thoughts, a gleam flickered across Lin Jiage’s eyes. He walked toward the trash can with widened strides and browsed through the clothes in those bags one by one. Whenever he spotted clothes that he was unwilling to see Soft Bun wearing, he would unhesitatingly stuff the entire bag into the trash can.
All he would have to do later on was to feign as if he had accidentally left those bags behind in the washroom, and that should settle the matter!
Maybe Soft Bun would feel pity over those clothes, but it was not as if he could be blamed for them either.
There was no such thing as an infallible man, and to err was human!
