Chapter 2022: I’m embarrassed to tell people you’re my son’s mother

“All right,” Shen Manting answered as she carried the baby and shoved the large backpack into Shen Luo’an’s arms .

He raised his eyebrows slightly, but wasn’t too bothered .

After arriving at the mall in their car, Shen Manting noticed that a baby stroller was stored in the trunk .

She settled the infant in the stroller and loaded his belongings into it, before heading straight to the floor dedicated to infant supplies .

Before this, Shen Manting didn’t think the baby was short of anything . But once she set foot in the mall, she felt that everything around her could be useful .

She enlisted the help of a shop assistant to carry a shopping basket for her . She grabbed one item after another from the shelves and tossed them into the basket . Before long, her purchases had already filled two large baskets .

At the checkout counter, the total bill came close to 20,000 yuan .

Shen Manting was shocked . She exclaimed, “Since when have infant supplies become this expensive?”

The shop assistant replied with a smile, “Infants are delicate and need extra care, so products that cater to them have to be of the best quality . ”

She glanced at the infant in Shen Manting’s arms as she spoke . “The immune system of small infants in particular is weaker . Using products of subpar quality might make them vulnerable to falling ill . Our products are of reliable quality . Even many celebrities trust our brand . ”

Shen Manting agreed with the shop assistant’s point .

Nevertheless, she found the products a tad too expensive .

She didn’t seem to have bought much at all – only several milk bottles, a sterilizing chamber, and a few other miscellaneous items .

Besides a few substantial items, her purchases included mostly small, sundry supplies .

She felt sorry for Shen Luo’an as she saw him swipe his credit card .

Shen Luo’an glanced at her and noticed her pained expression . He teased, “I didn’t even ask you to pay for the purchases . I’m spending on them for my son . What are you worrying about?”

“Pfft . ” Shen Manting rolled her eyes at him . Then, she walked away with the infant in her arms . “Let’s go home . ”

“What’s the hurry?” Shen Luo’an signed the receipt and looked up to face the shop assistant . “We’ll collect the items later . ”

“All right,” the shop assistant answered with a wide grin . “I’ll pack them for you first . Just make sure to come back to collect them later . ”

“All right . ” Shen Luo’an left the store, pushing the stroller along .

Shen Manting turned around and ordered, “Pass me the bottle . ”

Shen Luo’an bent down to retrieve the bottle and handed it to her .

Shen Manting fed the infant as she walked . She asked, “What else do you want to buy?”

“Let’s go to the third floor . ”

The third floor?

Shen Manting looked at him strangely . “That’s the women’s section . ”

“I’ll get you some decent clothes . Look at your outfit,” Shen Luo’an mocked scornfully . “Strangers will think you’re pregnant with your second child . How are you going to respond when they question you?”

Shen Manting was speechless .

“Moreover, you’re wearing an outdated outfit . You make me embarrassed to acknowledge you as my son’s mother . ” Shen Luo’an gave her a look of disapproval as he stepped into the elevator . He pressed the button to the third floor .

Shen Manting stood in front of the elevator with an indignant expression .

“Aren’t you coming in?”

Shen Manting walked into the elevator begrudgingly with the infant in her arms .

This shopping mall was known for high-end goods .

Even a mere handful of infant supplies had already cost them a fortune . No doubt the women’s clothing on sale there would be of first-rate quality and price .

Shen Luo’an entered the shop of the clothing brand that Shen Manting used to be fond of . As soon as he walked in, he noticed a dress that was popular and in season . “This one looks nice . ”

Shen Manting was standing behind him . She estimated that dress to have cost several thousand yuan .

She looked at Shen Luo’an and said in a weak voice, “I think my outfit is decent enough . Let’s go . ”

“Try it on . ” Shen Luo’an took over the infant and held his bottle .

Shen Manting felt a bit unworthy of the dress chosen for her .

Shen Luo’an was getting impatient . “Hurry up . It’s almost time to go home!”
