Ruan Xiao said concisely, “To see girls’ clothing.”
“Of course, please follow me.”
The shop assistant led the way, while Ruan Shu quietly leaned against her dad, her clear eyes curiously observing the clothing store.
The décor was grand and bright, with a wide selection of clothing styles that looked quite expensive. The store was spacious and even had a dedicated play area for kids.
“See if there’s anything you like.”
Her dad gently pinched her small neck, prompting Ruan Shu to withdraw her gaze and focus seriously on the clothes ahead.
There were little dresses as well as casual sporty outfits, but a look of indecision crossed her delicate little face—she didn’t know what to pick.
Ruan Xiao handed her a pair of overalls, light pink, with a small pocket on the front.
“Try it on?”
Ruan Shu obediently nodded.
Ruan Xiao then picked out a small T-shirt for her. The little one took the clothes and went into the fitting room by herself to change.
The shop assistant was dumbfounded the whole time. “Does she… not need any help?”
A faint smile played on Ruan Xiao’s lips, subtle but revealing his good mood.
“No need.”
Although it was just two simple words, to the assistant it somehow sounded a bit like showing off.
When Ruan Shu emerged from the fitting room, she looked adorable in her tiny overalls, especially with the little pocket at the front.
Ruan Xiao commented, “Not bad.”
He then handed her a tiger outfit. “This one.”
Ruan Shu obediently went back to change again.
When she came out, her cuteness was almost overwhelming—the shop assistant had to stifle a scream.
Ruan Xiao looked quite pleased as well, adjusting the little hat on her head.
Now, only her chubby, excessively adorable little face was visible, with her bright blue eyes slightly curved in a cheerful expression—utterly endearing.
“Do you have these outfits in other sizes? I’d love a set for my girl, too.”
Not far away, another mom sneaked a few glances in their direction. When she saw Ruan Shu in the tiger outfit, her eyes lit up, and she hurried over with her daughter in tow.
The assistant smiled. “Yes, we do. There are also other designs you can take a look at.”
With flushed cheeks, Ruan Shu walked back to her dad, looking at herself in the mirror with a happy smile.
The tiger outfit, in white, resembled her dad’s animal form the most.
Ruan Xiao, however, thought of something else—he’d have the butler order more custom ragdoll cat outfits.
His daughter looked lovely in everything.
Ruan Shu tried on several outfits, each one chosen by her dad. With each new set, she happily trotted off to change on her own.
Compared to the other kids in the store, she was like a perfectly crafted doll, showcasing her beautiful clothes.
Others couldn’t help but feel envious.
“Look at that little girl! She changes clothes by herself without fuss. Why can’t you behave like that?”
“This one looks good; that one looks good, too. Ahhh, why does everything look so adorable on that little one? Get me a set of everything she’s wearing!”
“She’s so well-behaved. What’s her spirit beast form? Can I trade my kid for hers? I’m so jealous!”
“Trade, my foot! Do you even know who that is? That’s Marshal Ruan!”
“When did Marshal Ruan have a daughter?”
Ruan Xiao overheard these conversations, and watching his daughter run up to him in her little dress, he suddenly understood the joy of raising a daughter.
“Wrap up everything we tried and send it to the Marshal’s Mansion.”
When speaking with others, his voice remained cold, almost like a robot devoid of emotions.
But when he looked back at his daughter, his expression softened immediately, the rapid change almost catching people off guard.
Ruan Shu held her dad’s hand as they left the children’s clothing store.
After they left, the store’s sales for the day surged far beyond usual, with the best-selling outfits being the ones Ruan Shu had tried on.
Later, the store manager even personally delivered clothes to Marshal Ruan’s mansion, offering all items at half price.
But that’s another story…
After leaving the mall, Ruan Xiao installed the child seat and helped Ruan Shu settle in before taking the driver’s seat himself.
Neither of them realized how lively the internet was at that moment, with topics about them trending everywhere.
