Chapter 271: The Battle Between Women (1)
Shen Jingchen was always in a bad mood whenever he was woken up in the morning, but no matter how unhappy he was, his hands were tied when he was up against Shen Jingbin. His very first instinct was to punch whoever was dragging him out of bed, but he instantly s.h.i.+rked back the moment that he realised it was Shen Jingbin.
"My dearest sister, just what are you doing? Can't you see what time it is?! Even if you're all raring to go for the day, can't you be little more considerate towards me?!"
"Mom and Dad are here. They said to hurry and wake you because we'll be heading out in a bit," Shen Jingbin replied.
Shen Jingchen wailed and buried himself under his blankets. "Inhumane! I'm going to sleep naked in the future! I dare you to barge into my boudoir while I'm sleeping nude!"
"You call this room a boudoir? Are you kidding me? Also, it's not like there's anything to see even if you do sleep naked," Shen Jingbin replied, her voice dripping with disdain.
"…"
Papa Shen and Mama Shen left with the siblings roughly half an hour later.
This time around, they were out to buy some items for the New Year. After some discussion, Mama Shen and Papa Shen decided that they had to bring something fitting as a present since this was their very first visit to the Zhao household.
While accompanying them as they shopped around, Shen Jingbin was suddenly struck with the idea of getting something for Zhao Chengning as well. She tugged at Shen Jingchen and asked in a whisper, "What kind of gifts do guys like?"
Shen Jingchen thought for a moment. "Planning to give something to Zhao Chengning?"
Shen Jingbin nodded.
"As a girlfriend?" Shen Jingchen asked once again.
Shen Jingbin continued nodding her head.
Shen Jingchen shrugged. "Just give him whatever; he'll like it as long as it's from you."
"I shouldn't have had any expectations for help from you," Shen Jingbin lamented as she facepalmed.
"Don't look down on me!" Shen Jingchen unhappily retorted.
Shen Jingbin gave him a withering look in reply before turning to Papa and Mama Shen, telling them that she was going to go shopping on her own. The mall they were currently in was the largest in B City. The first and second floor sold brand name clothes, while the third and fourth floors sold jewelry. The fifth floors were food and beverages, and the sixth housed the cinemas. Papa Shen, Mama Shen, and Shen Jingchen were on the third floor, while she went down to the first floor on her own.
