Qin Tian followed Xia Nuannuan's gaze and his eyes fell on a blue dress in the store.
It was the "Blue Battle Dress" he had designed earlier with Xia Nuannuan as the model.
Qin Tian glanced at Xia Nuannuan beside him, then at the blue dress displayed on a dummy. His eyes lit up slightly, and a good idea popped into his mind.
"Do you want that dress?"
He asked with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan turned her head to look at him, first shaking her head, then nodding somewhat shyly, and asked in a low voice, "How about I be the second customer and buy one too?"
She really wanted that dress, even wanted to buy two of them, one to wear and one for collection. After all, this blue dress was Qin Tian's first designed outfit, and it was drawn with her as the model, so it had significant meaning for collection. However, she knew that if she asked, Qin Tian's mother would definitely give it to her directly.
"No need to buy it, I have an idea."
A mysteriously secretive smile appeared on Qin Tian's handsome face.
"That won't do, you have to pay for it!"
Xia Nuannuan looked at him seriously, clearly misunderstanding.
Qin Tian smiled, covered his mouth with his hand, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.
Xia Nuannuan's pretty face blushed at a visible speed. After listening, she shyly shook her head like a rattle drum.
"No, I'll be too embarrassed!"
"You can do it, help me out!"
Qin Tian encouraged with a smile.
"Xiao Tian, what are you two whispering about?"
Tang Xiuxia had just finished helping to fold the clothes Su Xia bought into shopping bags and asked loudly, full of curiosity. Su Xia beside her also looked at the two children with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan lowered her head, her face flushed with shyness.
Qin Tian looked at the two mothers, pointed to the blue dress, and explained, "Mom, Nuannuan wants to buy that dress, so I told her she doesn't need to buy it. I'll let her wear that dress today to attract customers for the store, and this dress will be her reward."
The two mothers were stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Nuannuan with astonished eyes.
"Actually, this dress was my first design, and the design was later sold to that Mr. Wang. This dress is selling quite well in Jiangcheng now. When I designed this dress, I drew it with Nuannuan as the model, and she still has the original design draft in her hand!"
Qin Tian continued to say with a light smile. When they went to Jiangcheng to see Wang Lingyue before, Xia Nuannuan knew that the original design draft of the blue dress was in his hands, and after returning to Yucheng, she had taken it to collect.
After listening, the two mothers exchanged glances full of surprise, clearly not expecting that the blue dress displayed in the most prominent position in the store had such a story. Xia Nuannuan's head was almost buried in her chest, and the roots of her ears were completely red.
"Nuannuan, Xiao Qin's idea is good. Since you like the dress, why not help out? It's more meaningful than buying it!"
Su Xia added with a shallow, beaming smile. Tang Xiuxia beside her said nothing, but her eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at Xia Nuannuan. She really wanted to see how beautiful her son's designed dress would look on her future daughter-in-law.
"Mom, don't egg them on, it's too embarrassing!"
Xia Nuannuan looked at her mother with shy eyes.
Su Xia couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? My daughter is so beautiful, she'll definitely outshine that fake model when she wears it. When customers come in and see it, they'll say, 'Oh, this dress looks really good, boss, give me one of these dresses to try,' and the store's business will pick up."
"Auntie is making a lot of sense!"
Qin Tian nodded in agreement. Tang Xiuxia covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, looking at Xia Nuannuan with a smile.
"Nuannuan, let's work together to make Nuannuan's Cabin a success on its opening day. My mom will treat us to dinner tonight, and we'll celebrate properly!"
Qin Tian continued to persuade with a hearty smile.
"No problem!"
Tang Xiuxia agreed loudly.
Xia Nuannuan was moved by his words and glared at Qin Tian with a pout. How could she refuse after he said that! She knew she couldn't refuse anymore, but Qin Tian's knowing expression made her feel that she couldn't compromise so easily. Suddenly, she remembered a very popular video she had seen online a couple of days ago. It was on a website called Bilibili, where people posted videos they filmed. In the video she watched, a cute girl was teaching people how to do makeup. Just as she was watching the video and seriously learning makeup, the "girl" in the video suddenly said something that startled her, causing her eyebrow pencil to drop. Yes, it turned out to be a boy! At this very moment, a flash of inspiration struck her, and a cunning smile, like that of a little fox, appeared on her delicate and pretty face. For some reason, seeing this smile, Qin Tian suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Auntie, I'm very willing to help!"
Xia Nuannuan said to Tang Xiuxia with a sweet smile. Tang Xiuxia was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised by her sudden change. Before she could speak, Xia Nuannuan suddenly feigned a pitiful expression and changed the subject, "However, Auntie, I'll be very embarrassed to wear it alone."
"Then what do you want?"
Tang Xiuxia looked at her with a confused gaze, thinking she wanted to find a friend to wear it with her. Qin Tian, however, sensed something and his face turned pale. As expected, Xia Nuannuan directly pointed at him with her right index finger.
"Let Qin Tian wear it with me!"
"Ah??"
Tang Xiuxia and Su Xia were both dumbfounded. Qin Tian was also stunned, completely bewildered.
"Auntie, I saw videos of boys wearing women's clothing online, and they got a lot of likes. I think Qin Tian could also try it, it would definitely be very eye-catching."
Xia Nuannuan explained with a serious expression. Tang Xiuxia and Su Xia exchanged a look of utter astonishment, then simultaneously looked at Qin Tian and sized him up. Qin Tian's face was pale, his mouth twitched wildly, and he forced a smile that looked worse than crying.
"Nuannuan, don't joke around."
"I'm not joking, I'm serious!"
Xia Nuannuan blinked her bright, sparkling eyes and said with a smile.
"With my height, are you sure I can wear women's clothing?"
"It's okay, find the largest size, it's possible!"
"Nuannuan, you've changed!"
"Qin Tian, what are you talking about? Sacrifice a little for the store's opening success!"
Xia Nuannuan said with a mischievous smile. Black lines appeared on Qin Tian's forehead, and he looked at his mother for help. Tang Xiuxia stared at him with a strange expression and after a moment of silence, tentatively said, "Xiao Tian, why don't you... just listen to Nuannuan and try it?"
"You really are my dear mother!"
Qin Tian was on the verge of tears and regretted it to the extreme. Finally, he cast a hopeful gaze at his future mother-in-law. Su Xia turned her head and looked at a black skirt on the wall, saying, "I think this black skirt might be worth a try!"
