Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 789: Shopping

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“At first, everyone feels a bit shy, but it gets better over time. I was the same way, but now everything is fine,” Ye Xiaomeng said, feeling her cheeks heat up.

“Oh, I’m so nervous about it. Plus, I’m not confident about my body. My waist is all flabby now, and I feel embarrassed to even look at myself,” Shu Pan confessed. She remembered looking in the mirror the other day and feeling disheartened by her changed figure.

Although Gu Shaoting repeatedly assured her that she looked as beautiful as ever, even better than before, she felt he was just trying to comfort her.

“Every new mom feels that way. Once Xiaobao gets a bit older, it’ll get better,” Ye Xiaomeng tried to reassure her, thinking Shu Pan was worrying too much.

“I hope so,” Shu Pan said dejectedly.

“Don’t worry, girl. Let’s go buy a couple of special outfits later. Trust me, they’ll boost your confidence, and Gu Shaoting will be stunned,” Ye Xiaomeng said with a mischievous wink. Shu Pan knew she was up to something, but this time, Ye Xiaomeng’s words made sense. She figured having some nice outfits might indeed help.

After their meal, they headed straight to the mall. The mall was bustling as always, and Ye Xiaomeng led Shu Pan directly to the women’s clothing section.

Ye Xiaomeng had a clear purpose. She bought whatever she liked without checking the price. As she often said, she deserved to treat herself after being restrained for so long—women dress up for themselves, after all.

Shu Pan watched in amazement, quickly trying to stop her. “Xiaomeng, you’ve bought enough. Save some for later.”

“Maybe I did get a bit carried away,” Ye Xiaomeng laughed, looking at her haul. “Now it’s your turn.”

“I only need a couple of pieces. I don’t go out much these days,” Shu Pan said nonchalantly.

Ye Xiaomeng stopped and turned to her. “Girl, that’s the wrong mindset. Even if you’re not working or going out, you should still dress up and look good. Men like the sense of freshness. Who wants to look at a drab, unkempt wife every day?”

Shu Pan was taken aback. She realized she had been in a bit of a postpartum daze for the past three years. What Xiaomeng said made sense. Women need to maintain their figure and appearance.

Poor Gu Shaoting. Lately, she hadn’t paid much attention to herself, often lounging at home in casual wear. No wonder he hadn’t seemed particularly enthusiastic about her.

“Okay, let’s shop. I’ll buy a few more pieces if I find something suitable,” Shu Pan said, feeling a sudden determination.

As she had hoped, Shu Pan bought several dresses and two nightgowns. These nightgowns were particularly daring: the straps were just thin strings, and the style was a slip dress. Most notably, the fabric was satin, clinging to the body.

Shu Pan blushed furiously as she paid for them.

“Alright, we’ve got everything. Let’s head back,” Shu Pan said, checking the time. She had been out for a while, and Xiaobao was probably getting fussy at home.

When Shu Pan returned home, she put away her purchases and immediately went to check on Xiaobao. The nanny said he had just eaten and fallen asleep.

Seeing his chubby little face, Shu Pan’s heart melted. She couldn’t resist giving him a kiss.

Seeing him asleep, Shu Pan returned to her room to sort through the clothes she had just bought.

A moment later, her phone rang from her bag. Shu Pan was puzzled—who could be calling at this time?

She took out her phone and saw it was Gu Shaoting.

Since Xiaobao’s birth, he rarely called at this hour.
