BXBX NOVEL Chapter 204: Careful
Chapter 204
"The jewelry from the future isn\'t as intricate as ours; most of it is minimalist. I really like this design. Divine Lady, could you bring a few pieces back for me? I can pay you for them."
"What a delicate gold necklace! Isn\'t gold easily broken when it\'s so thin? How can they make gold as fine as a strand of hair in the future?"
As the ancient people were discussing, they saw the sales assistant bring over several pearl styles, some round and some flat-round, for the three to choose from.
Some necklaces had a red gemstone set in the middle, while others featured cat\'s eye stones...
The ancient imperial concubines stared at these jewels, their eyes fixed and unable to look away.
Although they already had many pieces of jewelry.
But one can never have too much jewelry.
Moreover, with the enhancement of the lighting, those jewels seemed to be tempting them, urging them to buy, buy, buy!
"I can\'t look anymore. How could there be such a good husband who doesn\'t criticize his wife for dressing immodestly, but instead supports her?"
"The shopping malls of the future are so enviable. If I could spend a day shopping in a future mall, I\'d feel my life was complete."
"Hehe... Sister, your dream is too conservative. If you go to the future, shouldn\'t you experience planes, high-speed trains, and buses? And find a handsome man..."
"Hehe... I like the food of the future. I just want to eat and eat and eat."
Seeing the concubines laughing together, Gu Qingrou\'s eyes were filled with endless loneliness.
She gazed deeply at the man on the screen.
This man was average-looking, the type you\'d never pick out of a crowd, but he was truly good to his wife. He could sense his wife\'s unspoken worries, accompany her shopping, and help her choose clothes.
In terms of appearance, this man didn\'t match his wife.
But in terms of his demeanor, conversation, manners, and attentiveness, how fortunate this woman was to find such a good man.
"Miss, your boyfriend is so good to you," the sales assistant said enviously when the Beautiful Elder Sister\'s husband took out his phone to pay.
She had seen many customers and could tell at a glance who was sincere and who was not.
Even though it had only been about fifteen minutes, the sales assistant could feel the doting nature of the Beautiful Elder Sister\'s husband.
"He\'s not my boyfriend. We\'ve been married for five years," the Beautiful Elder Sister said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the sales assistant was so shocked her eyes nearly popped out. She looked the couple up and down uncertainly and exclaimed:
"Five years? My goodness, you don\'t look like you\'ve been married for five years at all. You look just like a couple in the honeymoon phase."
It wasn\'t just the sales assistant and Gu Sang who were shocked, but also the ancient people watching the livestream.
For them, in five years, one could have three or four children.
Some well-off men from ancient times shook their heads and said, "That\'s impossible. How can they not be bored after five years? No matter how beautiful a person is, once you have them, you stop treasuring them, right?"
"Tsk, five years, and this beauty doesn\'t look her age at all. People from the future really don\'t age, huh?"
"This guy is quite devoted."
"Oh my, they\'re still so in love after five years. Divine Lady, I want to learn the art of managing a husband. Can this beautiful woman teach me a bit? I don\'t expect my husband to be this good to me, I just want him to be a little kinder and more understanding."
"I also want to know how this beautiful woman trained her husband. Aren\'t couples usually like siblings after five years of marriage? How can they still be so loving? It\'s so enviable."
Five years is neither long nor short.
But it\'s enough time for deep affection to turn into indifference.
Pei Changying stared at Gu Sang with flickering eyes and spoke in a deep, affectionate voice:
"Sang Sang, if you like jewels, I will buy them all for you."
"There will definitely be more than in the future\'s jewelry stores, and you can choose from jade, agate, gemstones, and gold as you like."
"I not only want to give you jewels, but I also want to carve a golden statue of you as tall as you are."
"When we grow old together, it will receive incense offerings from thousands of families."
Gu Sang\'s face turned uncomfortable: "Stop, stop talking. What you\'re saying makes me sick. Pei Changying, is your strategy now to destroy what you can\'t have?"
The disgust in Gu Sang\'s eyes was clear for all the people in the world to see, showing how much she despised the person speaking to her.
"Who is Pei Changying? The Divine Lady seems to despise him so much."
"Hey, brother, are you asking to be arrested? How dare you call the current emperor by name."
"No way, it\'s the emperor? The Divine Lady is actually scolding..."
"Why does the emperor always make the Divine Lady angry? It seems like every time the Divine Lady starts a livestream, she ends up scolding the emperor. I\'m really curious about how the emperor offended the Divine Lady."
"Haha, this is hilarious. Although we can\'t hear what the emperor is saying, I can imagine how irritating his words must be to make the Divine Lady so disgusted."
After leaving the jewelry store, they visited two more shops. Before Gu Sang could react, the husband had already noticed that the Beautiful Elder Sister was walking a bit awkwardly. He looked down, frowned, and asked while looking at her feet:
"Honey, are your shoes hurting you?"
The Beautiful Elder Sister smiled: "Just a little bit. It\'s not too noticeable. You\'re so attentive, darling. You even noticed this. You\'re so good to me."
Hearing this, her husband immediately crouched down in front of her and said, "Silly girl, get on my back. We\'ll go rest over there for a bit."
"I\'ll buy you some band-aids later. Next time your feet are uncomfortable, tell me earlier."
"Otherwise, you might really get blisters."
The Beautiful Elder Sister nodded obediently and let her husband carry her to a bench in the mall\'s corridor.
Her husband crouched down and helped her take off her high heels. Seeing her already reddened heel, he stood up and said with concern:
"You two wait here. I\'ll go buy some band-aids."
After her husband left, the Beautiful Elder Sister smiled apologetically at Gu Sang:
"I\'m sorry for delaying your shopping trip."
Gu Sang shook her head: "Not at all. I didn\'t have any plans today, and I\'m very happy that I got to see how you and your husband interact. This is a great example for many young women of what to look for when they start their own families in the future."
"You\'ve shown me the mutual understanding and respect between you as a couple, and you\'ve also shown many people how to choose their future partners."
Hearing Gu Sang\'s words, a sweet happiness flashed across the Beautiful Elder Sister\'s smile.
She said with a smile: "Yes, when choosing a partner, you must use your heart to feel, not your eyes to see, because eyes can be deceiving!"
"Moreover, as someone who\'s been through it, I want to tell you that love is mutual. No one can be unconditionally good to you."
"When he\'s good to you, you should praise him, and always be grateful. You need to notice his efforts and express it verbally."
"Actually, men need to be coddled too."
