The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 540 - 475: Encountering the Love Rival

Chapter 540: Chapter 475: Encountering the Love Rival
Mu Chenxi chuckled twice, knowing that he was a clean freak, she refrained from mentioning more disgusting matters.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered that his wallet was still with her, and hastily took it out and handed it over: "Professor Luo, thank you. I’ll return the money to you when I get home. It’s a total of one hundred and thirty yuan."
Luo Shangqing did not take it, his hands stuffed in his pockets, he nodded towards a place not far away: "There’s a supermarket over there, go and buy some daily necessities you will need these days."
Mu Chenxi scratched her head. She hadn’t brought anything when she left home and indeed needed daily essentials. She appreciated Luo Shangqing’s thoughtfulness and went off to look for the supermarket with Kong Tai.
After waiting a while, Luo Shangqing saw Mu Chenxi running back like the wind, panting and saying, "Professor Luo, there is no supermarket over there, I looked all around."
"How is that possible?" Luo Shangqing walked towards her, "Are you sure you looked properly?"
Mu Chenxi vigorously nodded her head: "Really, there’s none."
Luo Shangqing took Mu Chenxi to a supermarket where he used to shop, only to find it had turned into a barbershop. After asking the owner, he learned that the supermarket had closed down a half month ago.
"Then let’s go elsewhere to shop," Luo Shangqing took his car keys, "There’s another large supermarket nearby."
"I can go by myself, just tell me which bus to take," Mu Chenxi felt bad for constantly taking up his time, knowing someone like him was always extremely busy with official duties.
"I also need to buy some things." Luo Shangqing walked towards his car, "Get in."
Pets were not allowed in the supermarket, so Mu Chenxi had to leave Kong Tai in the car, gave him some cat food, as he was also tired from a full day of excitement, and he dutifully dozed off on the car seat.
Luo Shangqing entered a high-end supermarket, where over half of the items were imported.
While he was picking a water cup, Mu Chenxi wandered into the toiletries section to pick things like toothpaste. She had just picked a couple of items when she saw someone familiar. Mu Chenxi wasn’t particularly good at recognizing faces, but some faces stick in one’s mind, firmly like a plaster that’s hard to peel off.
Cheng Lin, in a beige trench coat, was pushing a cart and picking out food items. Her beautiful appearance and tall figure made everyone who passed by her turn their heads for a second look.
Mu Chenxi also stared at her for a while until Cheng Lin turned her head after finishing selecting some fruits.
Mu Chenxi quickly lowered her head and scurried away, worried that if Cheng Lin noticed her with Professor Luo, some misunderstandings might occur, and the blame would be great on her.
Mu Chenxi moved to another section and picked a couple of underwear and some socks, then chose the cheapest nightgown. Between a pink and a sky-blue color, she was indecisive, holding one in each hand, going back and forth, muttering, "The pink one gets dirty easily, but it’s cute; the blue one is dirt-resistant, but the color is too cold, which one should I pick?"
As she was struggling to decide, a nightgown was plucked from the rack and thrown into the cart in front of her, followed by Luo Shangqing’s indifferent voice: "Neither looks good, pick this one."
Looking at the beige bubble-sleeve nightgown tossed into the cart, Mu Chenxi couldn’t help saying: "This is too expensive."
She didn’t have that much pocket money to spend on such an expensive nightgown.
Luo Shangqing seemed not to hear, "Anything else you need to buy?"
"No more," Mu Chenxi quickly shook her head; these items had already cost her quite a bit, it was almost stacking up to a month’s living expenses.
"If that’s all, let’s go check out," Luo Shangqing casually pushed her cart, "Think again carefully, if you’ve forgotten anything, no one will accompany you back here to buy it."
Mu Chenxi was sure she had bought everything needed, but she didn’t want to appear together with Luo Shangqing.
"Um, Professor Luo, I just saw someone who seemed to be your..."
She hadn’t finished saying "girlfriend" when Luo Shangqing’s phone suddenly rang. He completely ignored her words, answering the call while walking.
As they approached the checkout counter, Mu Chenxi suddenly slapped her forehead: "I forgot something, Professor Luo, you go ahead and check out, I’ll go look for it."
Luo Shangqing was still on the phone, seeing her dash away, he couldn’t help but frown, "This girl!"
The queue quickly moved and it was soon Luo Shangqing’s turn, his call also finished by then, so he bent slightly to pick up items from the cart, and when he picked the underwear, he could feel the curious glances around him. Being a tall and robust man without a female companion but buying a lot of women’s products, people inevitably speculated.
