Chapter 2022: I’m embarrassed to tell people you’re my son’s mother

“All right,” Shen Manting answered as she carried the baby and shoved the large backpack into Shen Luo’an’s arms.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, but wasn’t too bothered.

After arriving at the mall in their car, Shen Manting noticed that a baby stroller was stored in the trunk.

She settled the infant in the stroller and loaded his belongings into it, before heading straight to the floor dedicated to infant supplies.

Before this, Shen Manting didn’t think the baby was short of anything. But once she set foot in the mall, she felt that everything around her could be useful.

She enlisted the help of a shop assistant to carry a shopping basket for her. She grabbed one item after another from the shelves and tossed them into the basket. Before long, her purchases had already filled two large baskets.

At the checkout counter, the total bill came close to 20,000 yuan.

Shen Manting was shocked. She exclaimed, “Since when have infant supplies become this expensive?”

The shop assistant replied with a smile, “Infants are delicate and need extra care, so products that cater to them have to be of the best quality.”

She glanced at the infant in Shen Manting’s arms as she spoke. “The immune system of small infants in particular is weaker. Using products of subpar quality might make them vulnerable to falling ill. Our products are of reliable quality. Even many celebrities trust our brand.”

Shen Manting agreed with the shop assistant’s point.

Nevertheless, she found the products a tad too expensive.

She didn’t seem to have bought much at all – only several milk bottles, a sterilizing chamber, and a few other miscellaneous items.

Besides a few substantial items, her purchases included mostly small, sundry supplies.

She felt sorry for Shen Luo’an as she saw him swipe his credit card.

Shen Luo’an glanced at her and noticed her pained expression. He teased, “I didn’t even ask you to pay for the purchases. I’m spending on them for my son. What are you worrying about?”

“Pfft.” Shen Manting rolled her eyes at him. Then, she walked away with the infant in her arms. “Let’s go home.”

“What’s the hurry?” Shen Luo’an signed the receipt and looked up to face the shop assistant. “We’ll collect the items later.”

“All right,” the shop assistant answered with a wide grin. “I’ll pack them for you first. Just make sure to come back to collect them later.”

“All right.” Shen Luo’an left the store, pushing the stroller along.

Shen Manting turned around and ordered, “Pass me the bottle.”

Shen Luo’an bent down to retrieve the bottle and handed it to her.

Shen Manting fed the infant as she walked. She asked, “What else do you want to buy?”

“Let’s go to the third floor.”

The third floor?

Shen Manting looked at him strangely. “That’s the women’s section.”

“I’ll get you some decent clothes. Look at your outfit,” Shen Luo’an mocked scornfully. “Strangers will think you’re pregnant with your second child. How are you going to respond when they question you?”

Shen Manting was speechless.

“Moreover, you’re wearing an outdated outfit. You make me embarrassed to acknowledge you as my son’s mother.” Shen Luo’an gave her a look of disapproval as he stepped into the elevator. He pressed the button to the third floor.

Shen Manting stood in front of the elevator with an indignant expression.

“Aren’t you coming in?”

Shen Manting walked into the elevator begrudgingly with the infant in her arms.

This shopping mall was known for high-end goods.

Even a mere handful of infant supplies had already cost them a fortune. No doubt the women’s clothing on sale there would be of first-rate quality and price.

Shen Luo’an entered the shop of the clothing brand that Shen Manting used to be fond of. As soon as he walked in, he noticed a dress that was popular and in season. “This one looks nice.”

Shen Manting was standing behind him. She estimated that dress to have cost several thousand yuan.

She looked at Shen Luo’an and said in a weak voice, “I think my outfit is decent enough. Let’s go.”

“Try it on.” Shen Luo’an took over the infant and held his bottle.

Shen Manting felt a bit unworthy of the dress chosen for her.

Shen Luo’an was getting impatient. “Hurry up. It’s almost time to go home!”
