Chapter 495 - 21: The Interweaving of Fate
As the New Year approached, the gift shop became busier, but the Charitable Foundation slowed down. Shen Chi was so busy that he barely had time to touch the ground, leaving early and returning late every day, while Lin Xiaoguai had arranged to go shopping for New Year’s goods with Zheng Cuicui and Han Shouzhen.
Shen Yinian had also returned. Naturally, this laborious time was not to be missed.
Aside from that, Xu Ji had been summoned back by his mother. Only Han Xinyu got out of it due to her pregnancy. However, it probably couldn’t be said that way because if she hadn’t been pregnant, she would have been more active than anyone when faced with such a situation.
They had originally planned to go to the supermarket, but upon seeing the crowd inside, they backed out and instead took a detour to the department store, where new clothes and jewelry were essential during the New Year.
Despite the crowd, the department store was still a lot better than the supermarket.
"Little Niangao, didn’t you say your watch strap was broken? Let’s buy you a new watch this time," Lin Xiaoguai suggested.
"No need," Shen Yinian shook his head. "Just changing the strap is fine. That watch works quite well." The watch had been a coming-of-age gift from his mother.
"Then as you wish," Lin Xiaoguai said upon hearing this, not pressing further.
"Let’s go look at clothes," Han Shouzhen suggested as she sized up Shen Yinian. "Little Niangao seems to have grown taller; last year’s clothes probably won’t fit anymore."
Lin Xiaoguai took a look herself, and indeed, last year she could reach up to her son’s chin, but now she just reached his neck.
