They walked further and further away. In the display window, the sign of the beautiful doll was no more.

Not long after Xia Ruoxin left, a black sedan stopped outside the shop, and a very handsome couple emerged.

“Lui, let’s go in. I heard the new stock has arrived.” Li Manni walked in with her arm around Chu Lui’s elbow. They frequent this place which was the reason why the employees sucked up to them. Upon entering, everyone greeted them with a pa.s.sion and showed them all the new arrivals, from the latest purse to jewelry.

Naturally, they were not humans but money in these people’s opinion.

Li Manni scanned through the display and was surprised to find that the doll was gone.

“Where is that doll?” She pointed at the empty s.p.a.ce. It was still occupied the last she came. She had wanted to buy it, but she had other matters to attend to and had to leave in a rush. That’s why she had forgotten completely about it.

She had intended to buy it today, not for herself but for her unborn child in the future. That doll was beautiful, and she had fallen in love with it at first glance. She had a.s.sumed that it would still be around because it was set at a high price so no ordinary man could have afforded it.

Her a.s.sumptions, however, would not be a reality. See, it was no longer there.

“Excuse me, Mrs. Chu. The doll had just been purchased by someone else. There are many new arrivals in our shop which you will definitely find to your liking,” the salesperson said awkwardly.

“Oh, it was sold. What a pity.” A look of disappointment swept across Li Manni’s face. It had just happened; they were so close. Had they arrived earlier, perhaps it would still be there.

“What was it that you wanted?” Chu Lui asked her softly as he looked at her face. She could have anything. As long as he was around, he would give her everything.

He was treating her very well as though he was trying to redeem himself from something.

Li Manni shook her head. “Nevermind, forget about it. It was just a doll. A pity though. I had wanted to buy it, but it had been sold.”

Chu Lui raised his eyebrow. A doll? “When had you started to develop a liking for little girl’s things?”

“It’s not like that. I wanted to buy it for our child.” Li Manni was visibly embarra.s.sed as she explained.

Chu Lui put his hand around her waist. “Our child can have a thousand of it when he’s born.” Dolls were for girls —he thought, and a tender look appeared in his eyes. Perhaps, a girl would not be so bad after all. She would be his little princess.

He rested his hand on Li Manni’s belly. There was still no sign of a child here.

Maybe they should go to the hospital for another body check. He wondered if he or she was the cause. He was afraid to hurt Li Manni’s feeling so he kept putting it off. Yet, three years had pa.s.sed, and this seemed highly abnormal.

He was a normal man, and so was she. There was no reason for them to be childless until now.

“Let’s take a look at the accessories.” Li Manni forced a smile. There was an indescribable pressure on her. A child. When would she be able to have the child she wanted?
