Chapter 295 – Wildlife Safari Zoo (1/2)

Saturday.

It started snowing in the morning. This is the first snow in Yan Tai County and is much later compared to last year.

Dong Xuebing got out of his bed and looked out of the windows. The weather forecast is getting more and more unreliable. The forecast for today is supposed to be sunny, why is it snowing now? Luckily, the snow is not heavy, and there is only a thin layer of snow covering the ground.

After getting dressed, Dong Xuebing walks out of the bedroom. “Ah, you all are ready?”

“Yes. I was just about to wake you.” Yu Meixia, who was wearing an apron, had prepared breakfast. “Breakfast is ready.”

Yu Qianqian looks at Dong Xuebing in her new clothes. “Big Brother, what do you think of my new clothes? Should I wear it?”

“Haha… why not?” Dong Xuebing laughed. “Qianqian is pretty in anything.”

Yu Qianqian smiled shyly.

After breakfast, Yu Meixia went to change in her room. She changed into a pastel-colored coat, white sweater, long casual pants, and had her hair tied up into a bun. She looks trendy and mature.

Dong Xuebing was stunned when he saw Yu Meixia. This was the first time he saw Yu Meixia in such dressing, but he felt her dressing is quite familiar. He remembered seeing the model on the cover of a women magazine on the coffee table, wearing something similar. He knew Yu Meixia would not have such a dressing sense. She is just copying what model wore.

Dong Xuebing gasped. “You are so pretty.”

Yu Meixia blushed. “No…”

“What do you mean by no? You can ask Qianqian. Qianqian, is your mother pretty today?”

“Yes!” Yu Meixia shouted. “Mum, you are so pretty.”

“… no…”

Yu Meixia’s set of clothes cost over 1,000 RMB. She had bought it after she got her salary from the supermarket. When she bought this set of clothes, she did not think the clothes are pretty. She felt uncomfortable as the coat is tight-fitting, and her heels are making her feet hurts. She had never worn high heels in her life, but she does not want to embarrass Dong Xuebing by dressing like a country bumpkin when she goes out with him.

“Are you cold?” Dong Xuebing looks at Yu Meixia’s legs.

Yu Meixia replied. “It’s not cold. I’m fine.”

“That is because there is heating here, and it might be cold at the zoo later.” How can Yu Meixia not feel cold? Her pants are too thin, and it’s late Autumn now.

“Then… I will put on the down jacket?”

“The jacket will not match your clothes.”

“Ok.”

Dong Xuebing thought for a while. “Let’s go. We will go to the mall to buy some clothes for you first.”

“Xiao Bing, the clothes here are expensive.” Yu Meixia looks at the price tag.

Yu Qianqian was also shocked by the price of the clothes. A dress costs a few thousand RMB, and she doesn’t even touch them.

Dong Xuebing does not care about what they say and walked to the fur coat section. “What color do you like?”

Yu Meixia kept quiet.

“If you are not telling me, I will pick something for you.”

The store assistant walks up to them. “Sir, Mdm, can I help you?”

Dong Xuebing looks around. “That white mink coat. Yes… we want to try that one.”

“Sure.” The store assistant immediately takes the coat out.

Yu Meixia is unwilling to try the coat on. When Dong Xuebing was talking to the store assistant, she peeped at the price tag. She was standing too far away and could not see the numbers, but she is sure it is five figures. That means the coat cost more than 10,000 RMB. It is almost equivalent to 2 to 3 years of her supermarket salaries. But Dong Xuebing gave her a stare, and Yu Meixia tried it on carefully.

Immediately a beautiful woman appeared in front of the mirror.

The store assistant is a bit jealous of the woman in front of her. This woman is not young, but she is very pretty. Even as a girl, she can’t help but keep looking at her.

“Ok! We will get this!” Dong Xuebing announced.

Yu Meixia replied. “Xiao Bing, this coat is too…”

“Just listen to me. This coat suits you, and you look pretty in it.”

Yu Qianqian, who was standing beside her mother, nodded.

After paying for the coat, the three of them left the department store. On the way to the car, Dong Xuebing noticed Yu Qianqian looking at her mother’s coat enviously and also looking at the stores selling clothes nearby. Dong Xuebing quickly brought them to another section of the shopping mall.

“Since we are at the mall, Qianqian should also pick a few clothing.” Dong Xuebing said.

Yu Qianqian quickly shook her hands. “I… I don’t need new clothes.”

Yu Meixia also rejects Dong Xuebing’s offer. “That’s right. She has lots of clothes, and she wears her school uniform most of the time.”

“Just go and pick the clothes you like.” Dong Xuebing patted Qianqian’s head. “Go.”

……

One hour later.

Dong Xuebing, Yu Meixia, and Yu Qianqian carried a few shopping bags into his Mercedes MPV front passenger seat. They had bought shoes, pants, scarves, and all sorts of women’s clothing. These items are for Qianqian and Yu Meixia, and Dong Xuebing spent almost 100,000 RMB.

Yu Qianqian said excitedly. “Mum, which cap looks better? This or this?”

Yu Meixia ignored Yu Qianqian and said. “Xiao Bing, I’m sorry to make you spend so much money on us.”

“Thank you, Big Brother.” Yu Qianqian said.

“It’s fine as long as you all are happy.” Dong Xuebing laughed. “We are out to enjoy ourselves today, and shopping is part of the fun. Alright, we are moving off.”

Wildlife Safari Zoo.

This zoo is newly opened, and there are not many tourists.

The tickets cost 50 RMB per person, and Dong Xuebing bought three tickets for them.

Yu Qianqian is overjoyed today. She had never been so happy in her life. When she is young, her parents are poor and cannot afford to bring her out. After she attended school at County First Middle School, all of her classmates had been to the zoo and amusement parks, except for her. Some of her wealthier classmates had even been to Beijing and Shanghai for holidays. This is why Yu Qianqian felt she is out of place with them. But now, her Big Brother had brought her to the zoo and also bought many new clothes for her.

Yu Meixia knew what Qianqian is thinking, and she is grateful to Dong Xuebing for doing so much for them.

“Why are you two looking at me like this?” Dong Xuebing looked at them and said. “Let’s go.”

Yu Meixia nodded and followed behind Dong Xuebing while holding on to Yu Qianqian’s hand. Yu Qianqian looked at Dong Xuebing’s back and shouted. “Big Brother.” When Dong Xuebing turns, Yu Qianqian quickly held Dong Xuebing’s hand with her other free hand. She is now holding her mother’s hand with her right hand and Dong Xuebing with her left hand. But Yu Meixia blushed as she noticed the other tourists looking at them as if she and Dong Xuebing are a couple bringing their child out to the zoo.
