Chapter 638 - Immense Drug Addiction (1/2)

Xia Ruoxin knew exactly what Chu Lui was saying. Indeed, she really needed someone else to help them now. After all, both she and Wei Lan were women; and Wei Lan's health was not good. She was afraid if something like yesterday happened again, what were they going to do? What would Gao Yi do?

Forget it. She rummaged through the shirt pile, not sure what she was looking for. However, she did not know that Chu Lui had already started smiling. She somehow forgot that there was a man like this who was born a businessman. He knew how to calculate everything, even to the finest details. He had planned outcomes for almost everything.

After she picked two light-colored t-shirts, she passed them to Chu Lui.

Chu Lui did not even try them on and passed it to the counter straight.

”Are you not going to try it?” Xia Ruoxin asked Chu Lui.

”It's okay.” Chu Lui took out his wallet. ”Whatever you pick would be good.”

Xia Ruoxin was too lazy to reply to him. Anyway, this kind of shirts was all designed for home use. No matter how fat he was, he would still be able to fit. Moreover, Chu Lui was not even fat.

Chu Lui took out his wallet and produced a card from inside.

However, the cashier tried for a really long time and said it could not be read.

Chu Lui kept that card and changed to another, but the result stayed the same. After three or four cards, he finally remembered that those cards were only for use in China, but he did not bring the international cards with him. Moreover, the money in his wallet was of the wrong currency.

He could only ask Xia Ruoxin for help.

”Ruoxin, I'll pay you ten folds when we return.”

Before Chu Lui was this stupid, he only gave women money to spend. Such things like letting a woman foot the bill was his first time. He was ashamed beyond words and had the urge to dig a hole and bury him inside.

Even though overseas was different from inside the country, there was no need for a man to foot the bill. If a woman did, he wouldn't get looks from people; but Chu Lui's dignity was indeed being stepped on.

Xia Ruoxin took out her money and paid for the bill. Luckily, she had some money with her. If not, she really could not foot the bill. It was only a few pieces of clothes, but he just had to pick the most expensive ones. Those clothes, together with his undergarments, cost a few thousand dollars—a third of her monthly salary.

After she paid, she bought some other men's slippers and toiletries before throwing all of them into a bag and giving the bag to Chu Lui. He should carry his own bag and not expect her to be his coolie.

Chu Lui carried the whole bunch of stuff, and this was his first time. He did not have a car or a driver, and he had to walk home on foot.

When she returned home, Xia Ruoxin hurriedly went to look at Gao Yi. The look of not seeing him for one day—as if she did not see him for three years on her face—made Chu Lui heart ache. However, there was no choice as he was the one who made this ill fate. He had to shoulder the outcome.

”Auntie, is he okay?”

Xia Ruoxin asked Wei Lan and carefully placed her hand on Gao Yi's forehead. She was afraid that he would fall sick again, and that would make matters worse.

”Yeah, he's fine. Today's been okay so far.” Wei Lan smiled as today was comforting for her. ”He slept all the way and did not act up. I don't dare to hope that he would stay like this. I just wish that he could sleep more so he'll have more energy.”

She was worried about her son, and now, all she wanted was for her son to sleep more. She did not dare to think about anything else.

A minute more was a minute; a second more was also precious. It was good that he was sleeping, then he would not have to suffer.
