Chapter 293: I’ll Call You Wife, You Call Me Husband, Deal?

Gu Yifan gave the young saleslady a surprised look, momentarily at a loss for words.

‘D?’

‘A Great D-level powerhouse??’

‘And she’ll keep growing???’

‘I must be very happy????’

“Hehehe…”

Gu Yifan could only offer an awkward but polite laugh. “Thank you. I am indeed very fortunate!”

Just then, Su Qinghe came out of the fitting room.

Her little face was flushed, clearly embarrassed by what had just happened.

Gu Yifan just smiled when he saw her. ‘This Hanhan is truly adorable!’

“Um… hello,” he said, turning to the smiling young saleslady. “The styles my fiancée just tried on? I want five of each, in every color. Please wrap them up!”

“Oh?”

Hearing that Gu Yifan wanted to buy so much, the young saleslady’s eyes lit up!

‘A big spender!’

She quickly smiled and said, “Of course! You two, if you’ll just wait a moment, I’ll go get those bagged up for you right away.”

With that, she turned around happily to take care of it!

‘I can’t believe it!’

‘Selling so much at once, my commission is going to be huge!’

‘I can’t believe I ran into such a big spender today!’

“Y-Yifan, isn’t this too much?”

“Don’t buy so many,” Su Qinghe said quietly.

“It’s fine, it’s not that much. Don’t you have to change your underwear often?”

“Besides, didn’t the saleslady just say you can’t be careless when buying bras? Otherwise, it’s bad for your health!” Gu Yifan said with a slight smile.

“B-but… this is still too much…” Su Qinghe said.

“It’s not too much at all!”

“Alright, don’t worry about it. I get the final say!” Gu Yifan said with a wave of his hand.

Su Qinghe: “…”

A smirk played on Gu Yifan’s lips as he said teasingly, “We’ll just buy this many for now. Next time, after you’ve ‘grown’ a bit more, we’ll get you new ones!”

‘Grown…????’

She looked at Gu Yifan, completely bewildered.

Gu Yifan didn’t explain. While they were waiting for the saleslady, he suddenly felt like teasing his Hanhan, Su Qinghe!

“Hey, I’m so good to you. Shouldn’t you show some appreciation?” he said, looking at Su Qinghe.

“Huh?”

“What kind of appreciation?”

Su Qinghe was taken aback for a moment.

Gu Yifan said with a smirk, “I’m so good to you, it wouldn’t be too much to ask you to call me ‘Hubby Dearest’, would it?”

“Huh?”

Su Qinghe froze.

“H-here?”

“That’s right!” Gu Yifan said nonchalantly.

“I… I…” Su Qinghe stammered, unable to get the words out.

The next second, her face turned bright red!

Even the skin on her neck flushed pink!

‘This “Bully” is picking on me again!’

‘Making me call him Hub… Hubby again…’

‘And there are so many people here!’

‘This… It’s just too embarrassing to say!’

“Hmm?”

“What? You don’t want to?” Gu Yifan frowned, pretending to be a little angry.

“I… I…”

Su Qinghe’s mouth opened slightly, but no words came out!

“Hey, Su Hanhan, that’s not right!”

“We’re about to get engaged!”

“Is it so hard for you to call me ‘Hubby’?” Gu Yifan said, pretending to be completely fed up.

“N-no, it’s not that…”

“D-don’t be mean to me!”

“I… I’ll say it, okay?” Su Qinghe said, her face full of grievance.

“Then say it!” Gu Yifan said nonchalantly as he looked at her.

“O-okay…”

“Th… thank you, Hubby Dearest…” Su Qinghe mumbled, her face red and her head bowed, her voice as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz.

“Hmm?”

That soft, sweet voice echoed in Gu Yifan’s ears…

That one ‘Hubby Dearest’ made Gu Yifan melt!

The corners of Gu Yifan’s mouth curled up, a triumphant, mischievous smile spreading across his face.

“Hold on, Su Hanhan. Who can hear you when you’re whispering like that!”

“That doesn’t count. Say it again, louder!” Gu Yifan said, his expression flat and his tone nonchalant.

Su Qinghe: “…”

‘This “Bully” is definitely doing this on purpose!’

‘Just saying it once was enough to make me feel like I was burning up!’

‘If I say it a few more times, I’ll probably cook from embarrassment!’

“Hurry up!”

“Or I’ll get really angry, and the consequences will be severe!” Gu Yifan said lightly.

“I… o-okay…”

Su Qinghe nodded.

‘She felt so helpless!’

“Hub… Hubby Dearest…”

She steeled herself and said it again.

‘After all,’ she thought, ‘he keeps asking… and we’re getting engaged, just like he said! I might as well just say it!’

A brilliant smile broke out on Gu Yifan’s face!

‘This Su Hanhan has finally given in!’ he thought. ‘Hehehe…’

“There’s my girl~”

“Wifey Dearest!”

“Love you, mwah!” ?(′???｀?)

As he spoke, he planted a kiss on Su Qinghe’s little cheek!

WHOOSH~

Su Qinghe’s little face instantly turned impossibly red!

She wanted to shrink her head into her neck!

She looked incredibly shy!

“Alright~”

“Su Hanhan~”

Gu Yifan said, smiling as he pinched Su Qinghe’s cheek.

“Ow… ow…” Su Qinghe said, looking at Gu Yifan pitifully.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan stopped pinching her little face.

“Hmm… By the way, don’t you always say that ‘Hanhan’ is an insult?” Gu Yifan said, looking at her.

“Su Hanhan really is an insult…” Su Qinghe said, nodding earnestly.

“Ohh~”

“Then I’ll stop calling you Su Hanhan… How about I call you ‘Wifey’ instead?” Gu Yifan said to Su Qinghe with a perfectly straight face.

Su Qinghe: “…”

‘I knew this “Bully” wasn’t that simple!’

‘If he calls me ‘Wifey’, won’t I die of embarrassment in front of Uncle, Aunty, and Grandma?’

‘And he’ll definitely make me call him Hub… Hubby!’

‘That would be… even more mortifying!’

‘What should I do?’

Su Qinghe lowered her head, completely flustered.

“So?”

“Is it a no?” Gu Yifan asked again.

“I… I… You’re bullying me…” Su Qinghe managed to stammer out.

Gu Yifan: “…”

‘How am I bullying her again?!’

Gu Yifan was speechless!

‘I’m trying to have a serious discussion with her, okay?!’

‘This Su Hanhan, really!’ Gu Yifan thought to himself.

“Hey, now… how am I bullying you?”

“Didn’t you say ‘Hanhan’ is an insult?”

“I’m just trying to make you happy by not calling you Su Hanhan anymore!” Gu Yifan said to Su Qinghe with a sigh of resignation.

“B-but if you call me Wi… Wifey… in public, or in front of Uncle and Aunty…”

“It’s embarrassing!” Su Qinghe said in a small, weak voice.

Er…

‘So that’s the reason?’

‘Alright, then!’

“Su Hanhan, how about this?”

“In private, when it’s just the two of us, I’ll call you Wifey, and you’ll call me Hubby. How does that sound?”

“That way, I’ll stop calling you Su Hanhan!” Gu Yifan said after a moment’s thought.

Su Qinghe: “…-_-||”
