Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 321

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 321

After Lin Xinyan came out of the menswear store, they continued on their shopping spree and she bought Cheng Yuxiu a nice fur coat. When they passed by another boutique, Lin Xinyan spotted a black cashmere coat that would suit Aunt Yu perfectly. She then asked the shop attendant to get the coat for Aunt Yu to try on.

Aunt Yu waved her hands in shock. “I don’t need this! I have enough clothes to wear myself. Don’t take it for me.”

“Your daughter just wants to be filial to you, so you should try it. Nice clothes would make you look younger.” Judging from Aunt Yu’s age, the shop attendant assumed that Aunt Yu was Lin Xinyan’s mother and not her mother-in-law, as it was rather rare for women to shop for clothes with their in-laws.

From the shop attendant’s experience, it had always been a mother-daughter duo, which was why she had said as such, to persuade Aunt Yu to try on the coat.

Aunt Yu’s face paled at her words as she scolded the shop attendant. “What nonsense are you speaking of? This is my young mistress, and I’m her servant. How can you say such words to embarrass me?”

Lin Xinyan patted Aunt Yu’s shoulder soothingly. “Don’t be mad, it’s fine! You’re about my mom’s age, anyway.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry.” The shop attendant was stunned momentarily before she soon apologized to them. This was the first time she had actually seen someone buying clothes for their maid; a coat of good quality, in fact.

How is it possible that there’s still such a kind-hearted, rich woman in this world? The shop attendant thought internally.

This is a real eye-opener for me.

“Then you should take her offer and try on the coat! There are not many people who are lucky enough to be employed by such a kind-hearted young mistress.” The shop attendant was desperate for her commission, hence she really wanted Aunt Yu to try on the coat and buy it.

“Go and try it on.” Lin Xinyan smiled.

“But…”

“Come with me then! I’ll bring you to the changing room.” Without further ado, the shop attendant dragged Aunt Yu to the changing room.

Aunt Yu was a petite lady, which was why the short coat that she had tried on looked really good on her.

“See how good you look in this coat!” The shop attendant praised.

“Then I’ll take this one.”

“I really have enough clothes to wear. I don’t need such a nice coat.” Aunt Yu grabbed the attendant to stop her from wrapping the coat.

“Oh, I’m not buying this as a gift for you. I expect you to take good care of Xichen and Ruixi in the future,” Lin Xinyan uttered purposefully.

“Taking care of them is my responsibility,” Aunt Yu answered. “Besides, I’m paid to do so.”

Zong Jinghao had always been kind to her. Throughout the years, all the credit cards that he had given her had no spending limitations.

That only served to show how reliable and trustworthy she was, in the eyes of Zong Jinghao.

“You are so lucky! I’ve never come across such a kind-hearted boss myself. I’m so envious, you know.” The shop attendant joked, “Shall I work in your stead then?”

Aunt Yu waved her hands frantically. “Oh, no way.”

She was worried that others could not take care of the family well. It was not because she was reluctant to let go of such a high-paying job, leaving her kind employer.

The shop attendant quickly wrapped the coat whilst Aunt Yu was distracted.

By the time Aunt Yu realized the coat was wrapped up, she knew that she couldn’t reject the gift anymore and left the store with it after Lin Xinyan had paid for it.

After three hours of shopping, their hands were now full of shopping bags.

When they descended downstairs, Lin Xinyan passed by a winter clothing store by the name of AQ. Back when she was still living in Country A as a kid, she was terribly afraid of winter months, as Zhuang Zijin was poor and couldn’t afford to buy warm winter clothes for her.

When she was twelve, Zhuang Zijin had used all of her earnings for the month to buy a down jacket for her, and she could still remember that it was bought from AQ.

That was the warmest piece of clothing that she had ever worn.

Lin Xinyan turned around to face Aunt Yu. “Wait for me in the car.”

Aunt Yu nodded and left with their bags.

Lin Xinyan entered AQ once Aunt Yu had left.
