After saying this, she got off the truck and walked toward the house.

Mi Nuo followed her in. Then, that woman pointed at a room in a corner. “You’ll sleep there tonight.”

There was no bed, just a pile of goods occupying the room and two thin blankets on the floor. Mi Nuo had wanted to say something, but upon raising her head and looking at that woman, she immediately shut her mouth and remained silent.

Ever since Zhuang Nainai met Hu Zi’s friend, she had been staring at her phone every day.

Because that taxi driver had told her that Hu Zi would call her after some contemplation.

However, two days had passed since then and Hu Zi had not contacted her once.

Zhuang Nainai could not help but feel dejected as she recalled the time they met in the police station. After seeing Hu Zi, she had beat him up. That person would probably still bear a grudge against her, wouldn’t he?

As her mind was occupied, she did not have much appetite and was rather restless.

There were some matters to be settled at the office these few days, so Si Zhengting would go to work in the day. After Zhuang Nainai and Ding Mengya had lunch, they sat on the living room couch and watched the television idly.

Seeing her like this, Ding Mengya suggested, “Shall we shop for some baby products?”

Zhuang Nainai was at a loss. “What are we buying?”

The nursery upstairs had already been fixed up. Si Zhengting had already hired someone to customize things like the baby cot. Everything was made of crude wood, so the furniture had no scent and they were environmentally friendly and hygienic.

Furthermore, the decorations in the room he designed were very fun and fresh. As for clothes, they were already bought way beforehand. In addition, Zuo Yiyi and Lin Xi’er had also sent them clothes. Hence, the number of clothes they had was so huge that the babies wouldn’t be able to wear every single piece even if they wore new clothes every day.

Ding Mengya said, “We can buy toys!”

Needless to say, the toys were already piling up in the room. Was there really a need for more?!

However, she could only nod after seeing Ding Mengya’s excited expression. “Okay.”

Dazhuang escorted them to the nearest mall. With people protecting them on both sides, they shopped in peace.

Initially, Zhuang Nainai had thought that there was nothing much to buy. However, upon seeing those tiny baby clothes, her urge to shop suddenly rose.

“Look at that little skirt! So pretty!” As she pointed at that little skirt nearby, Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up. She imagined how blessed her baby would be when she wore such pretty clothes after she was born.

After she heard this, Ding Mengya’s lips twitched. She could not bear to tell her that that skirt was too big and that the baby would be able to fit into it only after one year. Instead, she waved her hand. “Get it if you like it!”

With twinkling eyes, Zhuang Nainai walked forward, picked up the skirt, and put it in the shopping cart.

The two women’s “buy-it-all” mode had been fully activated. When they were about to head home at night, Zhuang Nainai finally realized the damage they had done today after seeing the number of bags the two bodyguards were carrying on each of their hands.

On the way home, Zhuang Nainai was in a dilemma. “We bought so many things, but we can’t possibly use all of them. Shall we return some of these items?”

Upon hearing this, Ding Mengya’s lips twitched as she shook her head. “Even if we can’t use all of them, we still mean well. Just keep them. When I was your age, I didn’t even have time to buy stuff for my children even if I wanted to.”

Zhuang Nainai could not help but look at her.

It was already 5 pm and the sky was getting dark.

Under the dim light, Ding Mengya’s looked slightly lost. She also looked like she was reminiscing about the past.

She pursed her lips before saying, “When I was young, my best friend and I promised to learn how to knit and shop for baby clothes together when we were pregnant. But...”
