Extreme Pampering After Marriage

Chapter 42: Read Some Interesting Manga

“Thank you,” Xu Youyou said with a smile on her face.

“Open it! See if you like it,” Su Lanxu urged.

Under Su Lanxu’s enthusiastic gaze, Xu Youyou unwrapped the gift box. She asked, “Please don’t tell me you gave me something strange!”

“How’s that possible?! This is a gift I meticulously prepared for you,” Su Lanxu protested.

When Xu Youyou saw the foreign brand of paint in the box, her eyes lit up immediately. “This brand is difficult to find here! I tried to look for them several times, but I couldn’t find them. Lanlan, you actually managed to buy it!”

Su Lanxu said proudly, “Don’t you know who I am? How can something like this be difficult for a person like me?”

Xu Youyou hugged Su Lanxu, feeling touched. Then, she said, “Lanlan, you’re the best! You must have spent a lot of effort to buy this!”

Su Lanxu said casually, “Not really. It only took me two days. I flew abroad and found more than ten stores that carried this brand of paint. The important thing is that you like it! As long as you like it, it’ll be worth the trip!”

Xu Youyou looked at Su Lanxu and said very seriously, “Thank you, Lanlan,”

Although Xu Youyou did not know Su Lanxu for a long time, she could tell that Su Lanxu was very sincere.

Su Lanxu was not very used to emotional displays so she laughed it off and said, “Alright, don’t look at me with that look! Are you trying to seduce me? Alas, no matter how much you seduce me, I can’t marry you!”

Xu Youyou scoffed. “Who tried to seduce you? Nonsense!”

When Xu Youyou lifted up the paint, she saw a few light pink books underneath. The books were clearly targeted at female audiences.

“What’s this?”

A cunning expression on Su Lanxu’s face as she said, “I saw this while I was buying your present. I bought a few of them to broaden your horizons…”

“Are these illustration books?” Xu Youyou asked as she picked a book up and flipped through it. In the next moment, her cheeks flushed red immediately. She asked in embarrassment, “Lanlan, why did you buy these for me!?”

Su Lanxu wore a wicked smile on her face as she said, “What’s wrong? You’re already 20 years old. You’re old enough to watch those kinds of movies, let alone read this kind of interesting manga.”

“I’m not going to read them. You can bring them back and read them yourself,” Xu Youyou said as she pushed the books over to Su Lanxu. She had never watched any movie and read any books or manga regarding that matter. Hence, she was very shy when presented with such things.

Su Lanxu replied nonchalantly, “I’ve already read it.”

Xu Youyou: “?”

Su Lanxu smiled as she made a peace sign and said, “I bought two sets. I naturally have to share such good stuff with my best friend!”

“Thank you, but there’s no need,” Xu Youyou hastily said. It would be awkward if her family saw it. Moreover, she was now living with Mo Shenbai.

“Just keep them. They might come in handy one day,” Su Lanxu said. After pushing the box to the side, she asked, “Did you invite your brother?”

“Yes, he’ll join us after work,” Xu Youyou replied, “You know I don’t have many friends so it’s a waste for you to reserve such a big room.”

Su Lanxu put her arm around Xu Youyou’s shoulder and said, “Nonsense! It’s fine to have fewer people, but we can’t be cramped in a small space. Otherwise, that annoying Lin Zhihuan or Lin Yin might laugh at you if they find out about it!”

“I don’t care about what other people say or think.”

Just as Xu Youyou’s voice fell, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

Following that, a gentle voice rang in the air.

“Youyou…”

Su Lanxu rose to her feet immediately. She moved to stand in front of Xu Youyou, shielding her, before she cursed loudly, “F*ck! Speak of the devil! What are you doing here?”
