Chapter 163: Buying the School Beauty a Pair of Floral Cotton Pants
“Huh? A sugar daddy?!”
This strange title immediately put the girls on alert.
The term usually has two meanings. One is that two families have a close relationship, so the children in the next generation will have a god-father or god-mother. But the other meaning…
The girls looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
This was Chu Yuwei. The top-ranked school beauty of Chengnan for three years straight. So many guys at school pursued her, but she never even gave them a second glance.
This guy must be making it up, right? This despicable, overconfident guy, making such a disgusting joke.
But… why didn’t Yuwei deny it? She even seemed happy about it, her eyes twinkling.
Meanwhile, Gao Guanwen, holding the flowers, had a dark expression on his face.
His eyes were practically spitting fire.
If it were just a rumor, he wouldn’t care. But the weird thing was, why was Chu Yuwei acting so obedient?
This guy just made such an intimate gesture, and she didn’t even flinch!
And with the “sugar daddy” thing, why didn’t Chu Yuwei object?!
“Yuwei, is what he said true?”
Chu Yuwei was about to run home. “Don’t follow me. I’m going home to change my pants.”
Gao Guanwen then looked at Jiang Zhou. “Hey man, I can compete with you fairly, but what you just did was too shameless, wasn’t it?”
“Is it wrong for a father to feel for his daughter?”
“Shut up! Please don’t tarnish the girl I like!”
Jiang Zhou didn’t answer.
Instead, he looked at Chu Yuwei, who was running away. “You’re running back like that? Get back here!”
Chu Yuwei ran back, looking at him with a wronged expression. “Why? Don’t you want me to wear cotton pants…”
“Your legs will get frozen from such a long walk. You’ll definitely have chronic arthritis in your old age.”
“Then what should I do? Should I take a taxi back?”
Jiang Zhou looked around and patted her head. “Come on, come with me.”
“Okay.”
Gao Guanwen was furious seeing Jiang Zhou ignore him and the goddess listen to his every word.
He planned to go up and teach Jiang Zhou a lesson, to make him learn to respect women!
But at that moment, Guo Wei suddenly appeared from behind. He swayed back and forth, blocking Gao Guanwen’s path. Then, he followed the two of them.
Everyone’s eyes followed the three of them as they crossed the street. After exchanging glances, they couldn’t help but follow out of curiosity.
Across from the Night Waves Bar was a large shopping mall. Jiang Zhou led Chu Yuwei inside and took the elevator to the third floor.
This area sold women’s clothes, and it had everything except for a lack of cotton pants.
Jiang Zhou called a saleswoman over. “Hello, could you please help me find a pair of cotton pants for her?”
The saleswoman looked at Chu Yuwei. “What a beautiful young girl. Did your boyfriend bring you here to buy clothes?”
“No…”
“Aww, you’re shy. Wait here, I’ll find them for you.”
Chu Yuwei’s cheeks were flushed.
She secretly looked up. Jiang Zhou was staring at the saleswoman, telling her to find the thickest ones she could.
He didn’t care about the style or color, just that they were thick and could block the wind.
A moment later, the saleswoman found a pair of floral cotton pants and handed them to Jiang Zhou.
“Go to the dressing room and put these on.”
“Okay.” Chu Yuwei hugged the pants and skipped off to the dressing room.
These kinds of cotton pants were usually worn by older women. They had large red flowers and green leaves dyed on the fabric.
They looked very tacky, and young girls would never be caught dead in them. But the key thing was that these pants were very warm and great at blocking the wind.
Most importantly, Jiang Zhou had bought them for her!
So Chu Yuwei didn’t feel any resistance at all.
Meanwhile, the crowd following them couldn’t help but look at each other.
They thought Jiang Zhou really did seem like a father. He was worried that his daughter was cold and brought her here to buy thick clothes.
It was truly a heartwarming gesture, like something a family member would do. The girls lowered their heads and looked at themselves.
Beauty comes at a price.
Girls of every era were like this.
They were also wearing very little, and their legs were shivering a bit from the cold. But everyone was like this, thinking that thin legs looked better.
But honestly, only those who are cold know what it really feels like. So seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
Gao Guanwen’s reaction was also obvious.
He was still holding the bouquet of flowers he brought, but now his hand was lowered to the ground.
He suddenly understood that the person hadn’t ignored him. He was just so worried that Chu Yuwei was cold that he was in a hurry to bring her to buy cotton pants.
He, on the other hand, had followed her all the way, looking for a chance to give her flowers, confess his feelings, and talk about how much he liked her. But, he hadn’t even thought about this kind of thing.
He even thought about taking her on a roller coaster at the amusement park after he succeeded in his confession.
Was he a fool? Taking someone on a roller coaster in the dead of winter?
Gao Guanwen remembered his self-righteousness from a moment ago. He told this person not to tarnish the girl he liked. But what was the result? This kind of care was the real deal.
The love he had just been proclaiming was incredibly childish. His so-called deep affection and respect were all exposed in front of this one pair of floral cotton pants.
Just then, the dressing room door opened.
Chu Yuwei came skipping out in the floral cotton pants. “I changed! Do they look good?!”
Jiang Zhou laughed. “You look like a left-behind housewife. My mom isn’t even that tacky.”
Chu Yuwei smiled brightly. “But I’m not cold anymore. My legs feel all warm and toasty.”
“As long as you’re not cold, go on and have fun.”
“I don’t want to play anymore. Do you want to take me home?”
Jiang Zhou looked at Guo Wei. They had originally planned to go play a game of pool.
Guo Wei sighed. “I knew you would choose the girl over your brother. Fine, I’m out of here.”
Jiang Zhou gave him a thumbs-up. “After you got a girlfriend, you really learned to read the room.”
“Less nonsense. Treat me to dinner when you get back from Beihai!”
“Go to hell! You always want me to pay.” Jiang Zhou grunted and looked at Chu Yuwei. “Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
Chu Yuwei followed him out of the mall. “You’re going to Beihai? For what?”
“To take care of some things. I’ll probably be back before the new year. Spend more time with my sister.”
“Okay! I told Han Rou yesterday that we should get our nails done together.”
“Go ahead and have fun. I’ll pay for it.”
Chu Yuwei’s eyes lit up. “Really? Then I won’t hold back!”
Jiang Zhou smiled. “How much can two little girls spend?”
“A lot, maybe!”
“Great. I’m so glad I’m not your boyfriend.”
As they left, the people who had followed them all stopped once they were outside the mall. Even Gao Guanwen, who had been chasing Chu Yuwei, stopped. It was pointless. There was no point in chasing her anymore.
Chu Yuwei only had eyes for that one person. She was even so happy she forgot to say goodbye to her friends.
—
Half an hour later, Jiang Zhou took Chu Yuwei home. Chen Wanying and Chu Xiong were watching TV.
As soon as they saw their daughter, they were stunned.
“Sweetheart, what kind of look is that?”
“How do you have pants like that?”
Chu Yuwei stammered. “I ran into Jiang Zhou on the street.”
Chen Wanying’s eyes widened slightly. “You… you met Jiang Zhou and even changed your pants?”
“What? Don’t get the wrong idea!”
“Then what’s going on?”
“I was out with my friends, and I was only wearing one pair of leggings. I ran into him, and he yelled at me, saying I’d freeze to death dressed like that. Then he took me to the mall and bought me these pants.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanying was speechless.
Her daughter had appendicitis, and he sped her to the hospital in the middle of the night and stayed with her all night. When her daughter was in a hotel, he slept outside, guarding her, afraid she wasn’t safe.
Now, when her daughter was out shopping, he insisted on dragging her to buy cotton pants, afraid she would freeze.
Who cares if they’re not family? Besides a blood relative, who would be so wholeheartedly good to someone else?
Honestly, Chen Wanying never wanted Chu Yuwei to get into a relationship too early. But Jiang Zhou truly left her with nothing to say.
“Sweetheart.”
Chu Yuwei looked up. “Huh?”
Chen Wanying cleared her throat. “How about next time you see him, you just marry him?”
“Mom, don’t say that! We’re not even together!” Chu Yuwei’s face was burning hot.
Chu Xiong, on the other hand, sighed. “We finally raised a daughter, only for her to be swept off her feet like this.”
Chen Wanying glared at him. “When we were dating, were you even a third as good as Jiang Zhou?”
“You’re heartless! I got a demerit for secretly showing you my pistol back then!”
“What girl would be interested in that? You should have just bought me a scarf!”
