Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 482 - 481: No Sense of Proportion in Doing Things

Chapter 482: Chapter 481: No Sense of Proportion in Doing Things

Su Mu, of course, couldn’t expect Xuanxuan to have much understanding of Allen.

During the wedding dress trial that day, Su Mu had already noticed that Xuanxuan and Allen were really not that familiar with each other.

It could only be said that because Allen was Xuanxuan’s cousin’s fiancé, the two would become relatives in the future.

Only then did they have a bit of an intersection.

So, when Su Mu asked his girlfriend to accompany him to pick out a wedding gift for Allen, he didn’t think as much as Jiang Xinxuan did.

As for wedding gifts, as long as they were appropriate for the occasion, that was fine.

Who could really grasp someone else’s preferences to give a gift?

Unless the two parties were very familiar, very understanding of each other.

But this was clearly not yet the case between Su Mu and Allen.

"Okay, I also want to buy a gift for my cousin, and since we’re going together tomorrow, that’s perfect."

"Today, because my mom spent so long picking out gifts, I didn’t even have the chance to choose one for my cousin."

Jiang Xinxuan was embarrassed to say that he and his mom had spent an entire afternoon shopping, yet he didn’t even have time to choose a wedding gift.

In reality, besides Bai Mingyun taking quite a bit of time to pick out gifts, Jiang Xinxuan spent the rest of the time choosing clothes.

Because Jiang Xinxuan’s mom had said they could treat this trip to Huangtong City as a short vacation for him and Su Mu.

Naturally, Jiang Xinxuan wanted to dress up nicely.

Although Jiang Xinxuan was already very, very beautiful.

Women always want to look attractive, regardless if they are beauties or not, it’s very applicable.

Jiang Xinxuan’s wardrobe was already very extensive.

But what girl would ever think she has too many clothes?

For girls, the newest clothes are always the best.

Especially since Jiang Xinxuan felt that Su Mu had already seen most of her clothes.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan wanted to give Su Mu a fresh new impression.

So the whole afternoon, besides helping her mom choose a set of jewelry as her aunt Bai Mingyun’s wedding gift to Bai Wanting,

The rest of the time was spent with Bai Mingyun helping her daughter choose clothes.

Bai Mingyun was one hundred percent satisfied with Su Mu, her future son-in-law.

So, when picking out clothes for Xuanxuan, Bai Mingyun was very thorough.

In the past, Bai Mingyun thought her darling daughter’s beauty was one in a million.

In the future, if a young man were lucky enough to win her daughter’s heart, it would definitely be his good fortune.

But after meeting Su Mu, Bai Mingyun felt it was her daughter who was climbing high by getting together with Su Mu.

And this wasn’t just in terms of Su Mu’s background and status.

Even just based on appearances, Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan standing together was more than just a good match.

Strictly speaking, Su Mu’s attractiveness was a notch higher.

With a daughter who found such a high-value, high-status, high-intelligence boyfriend, Bai Mingyun had every reason to be invested.

For Bai Mingyun, Xuanxuan’s happiness for the rest of her life depended on whether she could firmly grasp onto Su Mu, this towering tree.

Bai Mingyun was enthusiastic about choosing clothes, and Jiang Xinxuan, thinking about dressing up for Su Mu to see, naturally tried them on with zest.

Plus, with Jiang Xinxuan thinking he still had several days to choose a wedding gift for his cousin, he naturally wasn’t in a rush.

"Then we’ll buy it together tomorrow."

Su Mu honestly hadn’t thought that much about it.

Su Mu didn’t even consider why Xuanxuan and her mom went shopping together to buy wedding gifts for Bai Wanting.

But Xuanxuan herself didn’t buy anything.

Anyway, for Su Mu, going to buy a gift for Allen tomorrow would also be shopping.

Plus, Xuanxuan shopping for a wedding gift for Bai Wanting would be considered shopping as well.

It wouldn’t take up too much time.

"Okay, Su Mu, have you had dinner?"

Jiang Xinxuan and her mom were quite tired after an afternoon of shopping and trying on clothes, so they had dinner outside before returning home.

Of course, they ate earlier than usual.

Therefore, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know if Su Mu had eaten dinner at this time.

After all, Su Mu spent the afternoon with Grandpa Su at the auction.

How long the auction lasted, Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t be sure.

Jiang Xinxuan only knew that at this time, Su Mu was at home.

But exactly when Su Mu got home, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t had the chance to ask yet.

Now that they had settled the important matters, Jiang Xinxuan naturally wanted to care more for her boyfriend.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan still harbored a little ulterior motive.

If Su Mu had already had dinner and was now resting, Jiang Xinxuan naturally wanted to chat with her boyfriend a bit more and exchange sweet nothings.

Today, when Su Mu visited her home, since her parents were there, Jiang Xinxuan felt she didn’t have the chance to be affectionate with Su Mu.

A girl in love naturally wishes to be as close to her boyfriend as possible.

But Jiang Xinxuan was also a girl who knew her limits well.

If Su Mu wasn’t very free at the moment, Jiang Xinxuan would certainly not pester and cling to him excessively.

"Not yet, I’m waiting for my dad and mom to come home, but I guess they’ll be back soon."

Su Mu checked the time, and indeed, his parents should be returning home soon.

It’s just that Su Mu wasn’t sure whether soon meant a few minutes, ten minutes, or even twenty minutes.

But Su Mu knew that since his mom had suggested they have dinner together at home tonight,

his parents wouldn’t be back too late.

On this point, Su Mu was very confident in his mom’s word.

"Then I won’t chat with you for now. You rest for a bit until your uncle and aunt return. Just let me know a little earlier if we’re going shopping tomorrow."

Upon hearing that Su Mu’s parents would be home soon, Jiang Xinxuan very considerately ended the conversation.

Although Jiang Xinxuan felt she hadn’t exchanged any sweet nothings with her boyfriend.

The topics Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu talked about were all related to Bai Wanting and Allen’s wedding.

Even the gift selection Su Mu mentioned revolved around her cousin and Allen’s wedding.

But Jiang Xinxuan didn’t want to be in a situation where Su Mu’s parents had to call him for dinner when they got home.

She was afraid that might leave Su Mu’s parents with a bad impression of her.

Su Mu had spent half the day at Jiang Xinxuan’s house.

Of course, the time Su Mu took to pick gifts for his girlfriend’s parents with Jiang Xinxuan was also included in this.

If Su Mu’s parents came back and saw her still clinging to Su Mu, Jiang Xinxuan feared the elders might think she lacked propriety.

"Okay, you get some rest. I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow and send you a message then,"

Su Mu took up the conversation naturally. After Xuanxuan sent a "bye" emoji, the conversation was officially concluded.

Su Mu was aware that at this time, his parents certainly weren’t back at the castle yet.

If Dad and Mom had already returned, Ah Fook would definitely have come up to notify him.

It’s also getting late, after Dad and Mom return to the castle, everyone would undoubtedly have to eat dinner first.

However, Su Mu felt that his girlfriend had already spent the whole morning shopping with him, and then accompanied her mom for half of the afternoon.

She must be tired from all the walking.

Therefore, without saying much more, he just sent a "bye" emoji.

After ending the chat with his girlfriend, Su Mu noticed a few avatars with red dots.

He first opened the unread message from Four Eyes.

"Su Mu, I went on my first date with Li Minli today."

Below it were several laughing emojis.

It was clear that Four Eyes’s first date had gone very well.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sending laughing emojis at this time, but would likely be seeking Su Mu’s advice instead.

In Four Eyes’s view, Su Mu had been in a relationship much longer than himself.

Besides, Su Mu had much more experience, so it was quite normal for Four Eyes to ask for advice.

As Su Mu didn’t reply, the impatient Four Eyes couldn’t resist falling into chatterbox mode again.

"Su Mu, you have no idea how cute Li Minli is in person, it’s the first time I’ve felt like this, I don’t even know how to describe it."

"It just feels tingly and itchy in my heart, and especially happy."

"Also, Li Minli said she has a good impression of me. She said that in school, I seemed a bit dazed, but after spending today together, she found me quite humorous."

"Su Mu, do you think I can consider this a success?"

"Too bad I didn’t dare to directly ask Li Minli whether this counts as a date or not. Do you think I’m a bit of a loser? I always end up regretting things afterward."

A few crying emojis followed; Four Eyes seemed to have some self-awareness.

The first time he chickened out, and he ended up needing Su Mu to step in and help him find the information of the girl he saw from behind.

Thankfully, Su Mu knew the chairman of Xinghuan Entertainment.

And with He Qiya volunteering to help out, the problem was resolved quite smoothly.

But this time, Four Eyes had a mishap at a critical moment, and Su Mu was truly at a loss for words regarding his good friend.

You go on a date with a girl, and she even expresses her liking for you.

But then, Four Eyes missed the best opportunity.

Now he’s coming to Su Mu with regrets.

Su Mu felt that there was nothing he could do this time.

Not to mention, Su Mu didn’t even know Li Minli.

When he arrived at Yude High School, Su Mu didn’t go in with Four Eyes.

Su Mu only had a rough idea of what Li Minli looked like from the materials she left at Xinghuan Entertainment.

As to whether there was any "photo trickery," it was later that Su Mu heard Four Eyes vouching for Li Minli.

After hearing Four Eyes’s description, Su Mu knew that Li Minli was probably quite attractive.

But as far as Su Mu was concerned, even if Four Eyes rendered Li Minli in great detail right in front of him,

Su Mu and Li Minli were still just strangers.

Even if Su Mu knew Li Minli, he wouldn’t meddle in matters of romantic feelings between a man and a woman.

So, to all of Four Eyes’s rambling, Su Mu only replied with one sentence.

"Pay more attention next time, don’t always be regretful."

A few simple words flew out from Su Mu’s phone.

Su Mu saw that there were still a few little red dots with avatars in his WeChat friends list.

He Qiya, Lin Mumu, Xia Shuya.

It’s like the saying, ’Three women make a drama,’ but now it’s three women looking for me at the same time.

Adding Su Mu and the already responded Jiang Xinxuan, has it now become four women approaching me together?

Su Mu helplessly curled the corners of his mouth.

If these four women knew each other, could they form a table for mahjong?

Since Su Mu had been in relatively frequent contact with He Qiya lately, he originally wanted to click on He Qiya’s avatar first.

"Su Mu, I know I’m too timid, but every time I see Li Minli, my brain just seems to work in slow motion."

"Do you think this could be what falling in love feels like?"

"Was it the same for you when you dated Jiang Xinxuan?"

"Are there things that you feel embarrassed to say in front of Jiang Xinxuan, but then regret not saying once you’re alone?"

Before Su Mu could click on He Qiya’s avatar, Four Eyes bombarded him with a barrage of text messages.

Su Mu noticed that Four Eyes’ typing speed had improved by leaps and bounds.

The stream of messages seemed to come through one after another, as if they didn’t require any time to be typed.

After reading through Four Eyes’ messages in one go, Su Mu actually gave it some serious thought.

Feeling embarrassed to say things in front of Xuanxuan and then regretting it later when alone?

Su Mu realized he didn’t have any of the issues that Four Eyes was talking about.

Even during his first intimate encounter with Xuanxuan, there was nothing Su Mu was embarrassed to express.

He just booked a presidential suite directly, letting actions speak for everything.

Of course, everything that happened later was with Xuanxuan’s consent.

There wasn’t a hint of force involved.

If Su Mu didn’t face such situations even in such critical matters, naturally there wouldn’t be any in other scenarios.

Su Mu felt that his good friend was "excelling" a bit too much in the love department, to be asking such outlandish questions.

Could it be that because Four Eyes couldn’t have a normal relationship, he thought everyone was like that?

"No, falling in love is nothing like your awkward situation."

"You, you might have missed the chance. Maybe Li Minli was all ready to be your girlfriend, and you’ve just choked it back."

Su Mu thought that Four Eyes still needed a lot of encouragement.

Otherwise, with the way Four Eyes was going, when would he ever make Li Minli his official girlfriend?

Everyone remembered the big talk Four Eyes had posted in his circle of friends.

Days were passing by, and probably many were waiting to see the outcome when the time came.

"Really? Li Minli said from the start that I’d have to wait at least until she finished her college entrance exam next year."

"She only agreed to start interacting with me now; surely she wouldn’t agree to be my girlfriend so soon, right?"

Seeing his friend, whom he considered the God of Luck, speak this way, Four Eyes started to feel unsettled.

Had he really let a golden opportunity slip by?

But Four Eyes thought it over and it didn’t seem right.

Li Minli had agreed to be friends first, and at that time, she was very clear that considering a romantic relationship would only happen after her exams next year.

Why was Su Mu saying this now?

Naturally, when confused, it was time to ask, and Four Eyes didn’t feel any embarrassment in front of Su Mu anyway.
