4686 Never Too Late to Love (93)

"I'm a little richer than you think."

Gu Chengze's words surprised Bai Sheng. She inched closer to him and asked, "How rich is 'a little richer'?"

"Anyway, I can afford to support 70 to 80 of you."

"Psssss…" Bai Sheng was taken aback, "Is it so cheap to support me!?"

"Idiot!" The man knocked her head. "Even if you go shopping at Gucci and Armani every day, I can afford it."

"…"

That would mean he's quite rich? Bai Sheng suddenly chuckled to herself.

Gu Chengze saw her snickering and drew her tightly into his embrace, asking, "Why are you snickering!"

"Nothing."

"Tell me. You must be snickering about something."

"Oh, I…" Bai Sheng pursed her lips and continued, "I'm chuckling at the fact that at least, being with you, I won't have to worry about living in poverty!"

"Why are you so useless?"

"Seriously…" Bai Sheng suddenly sat up and looked at him solemnly. "When I married you back then, I was really prepared for whatever difficult times."

"…" Gu Chengze was greatly amused.

Did he really give the impression that he was that poor? When he first met her, he was well-dressed too. Did he not have the bearing of a noble at all?

Bai Sheng seemed to have read what he was thinking and quickly explained, "I'm not saying that you were dressed poorly and had a poor temperament!"

"So what was it about me that came across so poorly?"

"I just thought about it and felt that rich people would choose a woman of equal social status to be their wife. If you really had money, why would you take a fancy to me and marry me in a flash?"

Gu Chengze pursed his lips but did not say anything. She had too much of an inferiority complex. Even when she was with him, she was always careful. She was always nervous about making him unhappy, or that she would lose his favor.

He understood her childhood experience, and it naturally shaped her attitude. However, he hoped that she would gradually become more confident and braver when she married him.

A thought suddenly struck Gu Chengze, and he walked out of the room.

When Bai Sheng saw him walking out without saying a word, she was baffled and stuck her head out to take a look. "Honey… what are you doing?"

Gu Chengze went straight into her room and opened the wardrobe. Other than the few pieces of clothes he bought for her, her own clothes were all simple in style. She could not bear to wear those dresses that he had bought for her. Fortunately, she had a good disposition, and actually could make cheap street goods look like high-end goods

These clothes were too mediocre and cheap. His heart ached so much that he decided to take her to the mall for a crazy shopping spree in the afternoon.

When Gu Chengze returned to his room, Bai Sheng was holding the bowl and looking at him in a daze, with a poached egg in her mouth.

"What's the matter?"

"Once you're done eating, we'll go out this afternoon."

"Go out?" Bai Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Haven't you already applied for leave on my behalf? You don't have to send me to work this afternoon then."

"Not to work."

"Where to then?"

…

An hour later.

Gu Chengze, with Bai Sheng in tow, stepped into the resplendent shopping mall. The first floor was decorated magnificently, especially the jewelry and jade on display, they almost blinded her.

Before she could react, Gu Chengze led her all the way to the fourth floor. The third and fourth floors were dedicated to women's clothing counters. However, all the counters represented only top brands.
