The ladies and wives Xu Ke met at the banquet often invited Lin Mengyao to go shopping or attend gatherings together.
"Where are you off to this afternoon?" Xu Ke asked, looking at the exquisitely dressed Lin Mengyao with a gentle tone.
"Going shopping over at Golden Port City. My feet have been aching so much lately," Lin Mengyao said, rubbing her sore calf.
"If it's painful, just skip it. You can go shopping any time; there's no need to squeeze it in today." Xu Ke stood up from his seat, walked over to Lin Mengyao, and placed her legs on his lap, gently massaging them.
Lin Mengyao gradually showed an expression of enjoyment, her voice lazily hoarse as she said, "You don't understand the joy of shopping for girls. I quite like shopping with Miss Bai, as she always finds some rare and quirky items, which are particularly interesting." Lin Mengyao half-opened her eyes and looked at Xu Ke.
