Chapter 2022 - I’m embarrassed to tell people you’re my son’s mother (1/2)

“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.
