Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Ye Jian’s calves trembled, her scalp tingled, and every cell in her body screamed, urging her to run outside. She really wanted to escape!

”Thinking of leaving?” Xia Jinyuan saw through her immediately and smiled subtly as he looked at his girlfriend, who was thinking of fleeing again, ”Then let’s go back to my apartment, and we can talk privately.”

She did not want to!

Despite every cell in her body wanting to flee, Ye Jian felt as if her feet were nailed to the floor; she couldn’t run even if she wanted to.

The young sales assistant approached them, looking at the most eye-catching couple in the store. Following Xia Jinyuan’s gaze, she promptly took down a red dress, enthusiastically recommending, ”This gentleman has great taste. This dress is a new arrival. We only received one set of sizes and this is the only piece left that fits this lady. Moreover, it’s almost New Year, and wearing such a bright red dress could not be more festive.”

Ye Jian glanced at the dress and subconsciously stepped back, declining, ”Wearing a dress is so inconvenient, let’s just go.”

”Inconvenient? No no no, madam, it’s very convenient. Don’t be misled by its body-hugging style; it’s actually a mermaid cut, which doesn’t hinder walking at all.” The sales assistant did not understand Ye Jian’s intent, thinking she referred to the dress being inconvenient to wear for activities, and hurriedly explained, ”Look at the hem, our designers have considered this, it definitely won’t inconvenience you.”

”Touch the fabric here, it’s very soft lace. It’s extremely comfortable once worn; it won’t restrict your movements at all. And if there’s anything inconvenient, can’t your boyfriend help out? Right?”

Seeing that the boyfriend was interested while the girlfriend was hesitant, the skilled salesman immediately turned to Xia Jinyuan, ”Sir, your girlfriend is so beautiful, and her skin is particularly lovely. I’ve really never seen anyone who’d suit this red dress better than her. Once she tries it on, she will definitely amaze you. Why don’t you have your girlfriend give it a try?”

Xia Jinyuan, who wanted the dress the most, was moved by the salesman’s passionate recommendation. He took the red dress and handed it to Ye Jian, his eyes full of tender warmth, ”Sweetie, go try it.”

He was very excited to see what Ye Jian would look like in the red dress, certain that, as the salesperson said, it would be absolutely stunning.

”I will feel very uncomfortable, let’s not do this.” Ye Jian, accustomed to wearing pants, held the red dress as if it were a hot potato. For her, used to pants, wearing such a dress felt weird!

”If you’re not used to it, you can gradually get used to it. It’s rare we come out like this; we should get something out of it, otherwise, our grandparents might twist my ear and scold me for not accompanying you properly.”

Yesterday, returning home, Grandpa Xia and Old Madam Xia specifically asked about their grandson and his future granddaughter-in-law’s holiday plans. Upon learning that there were no plans, Grandpa Xia was stunned, and Old Madam Xia directly grabbed Xia Jinyuan’s ear, scolding, ”You scoundrel, tell me, are you bullying Little Ye? Huh? You, when in a relationship, are you so stingy? So stingy that you even skimp on shopping with your girlfriend?”

”Where’s your paycheck? Where is it? Have you touched the money? You scoundrel, grandma has never seen you behave this way in a relationship. No flowers, not accompanying your girlfriend shopping – stingy! Stingy, I’ve never seen a man as stingy as you.”

”If it were my daughter, if you were this stingy, I definitely wouldn’t agree to let my girl be with you! And getting married, pah! You think you’re a toad wishing to eat swan meat, dreaming so beautifully!”
