Chapter 68: Episode 6.11 Terse

If there’s a mall that is considered a safe haven for the rich and the famous, then it should be the high-end KV Mall. Located in the heart of the capital city, it is the home of various high-profile stores and several five-star restaurants that could only be found in City B.

It is popular with the public because of the luxury it houses. However, not everyone could enter its premises.

Only individuals with membership are allowed to go past its magnificent entrance.

It sounded like its business model was the recipe for bankruptcy. But that is far from reality.

KV Mall is one of the most successful malls in the country because of its "exclusivity," they are raking in tens of millions of yuan every day, regardless of whether it is weekday or weekend.

Because of its success, businessmen made it a point to open at least one physical store in KV Malls.

Several international retail stores, whose targets are commonly middle-class customers, are basking in the mall’s glory.

And their owners must admit that the sky-high rent was worth it because of the massive turnover that they enjoy.

However, this success didn’t make them lenient with their marketing methods. These retail stores that people with considerable money frequently visit would do sales promotions during weekends.

Just like this Friday morning. Since most working people are still busy with their day jobs, the volume of people is still mild, making the staff of the retail store of C&M operate leisurely.

Chu Yan is one of those staff, and she is presently trying to make herself busy by fixing the neatly hung shirts in the displays.

Their store loves hard work, you see. So, they don’t have a choice but to make it work for themselves despite everything being properly set up for today’s discounted sale promo.

She was busy trying to look busy when suddenly, three adults and a child entered their store, and she was shaken.

"Oh my god! S-Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng?!" Chu Yan internally screamed.

She was practically losing her mind because she was in front of the current hottest couple and the new power couple in their country.

Because of her fortunate store location, it is normal for her to see celebrities on a weekly basis, but these two are way beyond the league of those little white faces that appear on prime-time television.

This alpha and omega duo is currently a sensation! May it be local and international!

"Good morning, sirs and little sir. Are you looking for anything specific? I could help you with that," the store staff greeted professionally, just like how she was trained in handling high-profile customers.

Of course, she didn’t dare to miss the sunny and good-looking, tan-skinned omega whose glowing skin put shame on the heads of the young actors these days and the little boy with striking platinum-blonde hair just like Shen Yuan.

One quick glance, and he knew that this must be Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng’s son! So freaking cute!

The store clerk, Chu Yan, mustered all her self-restraint to stop himself from touching the little lad’s cheek.

"It looked so fair and smooth, just like Mantou! What should I do?" the poor lady could only lament in her head.

"Daddy! Daddy!" The boy shyly swung Shen Yuan’s hand, signaling to ask whatever his concern was.

Shen Yuan flashed his pearly white and charming dimples at his son and the store clerk. "We happen to see that you are currently selling kids’ wear with the print of Huhu the Fox, can we see that?"

"Absolutely!" Chu Yan flashed her big smile and guided them to the kids’ wear section, where there were piles of Huhu the Fox shirts, bags, handkerchiefs, and other things. She heard the cute squeal of the little boy.

As it turns out, Shen Yuan’s son loves the friendly superhero vulpes, Huhu the Fox! Gosh, today must be her lucky day!

Feeling like she was no cloud nine, the staff presented their promo to her customers very jovially.

"Actually, we are on sale today, and we offer a 40 percent discount on the apparel with Huhu the Fox print—"

But it was cut by the beautiful omega that came with the Bai-Shen couple.

"Excuse me, is your manager around?" the omega asked, raising his hand.

In an instant, Chu almost had a heart attack. Did she offend them in some way?

"Father-in-law..." She heard Shen Yuan trailing off, and this time, her soul almost escaped from her body.

The youthful-looking omega turned out to be Shen Yuan’s father-in-law! In other words, he is Bai Tingfeng’s Dad!

"I-I sincerely apologize for being rude," she instantly said her sorry. "I-I will call my manager now."

And she turned to head towards his manager’s office, but to her surprise, the same omega stopped her.

"Oh, gosh. I think you are misunderstanding something. I am sorry," the omega said in the softest tone she ever heard.

"I am only asking for the manager because I wanted to waive the discount for me. You see, sweetheart, we are on a splurging spree using this child’s grandfather’s credit card. Discounts and sales, as you guessed it, will defeat the whole idea of maxing out the credit card. So, can I?"

"Eh?" Chu Yan couldn’t believe what she heard. Years working in sales made her come across people who want to throw around their celebrity status for a discount, but someone who refuses discounts... She didn’t know if they existed until she met this omega!

Bai Tingfeng face palmed himself. His face was pinkish due to the mix of shame and his wanting to laugh at the situation. He really can’t maintain a serious look.

In the end, Rong Suyin successfully got what he wanted, and Yanyan got a pair of everything with the face of his favorite cartoon character in store.

"You sure don’t want to double charge everything?" his unbelievable father-in-law said for the last time when leaving the store.

The manager and the store clerks couldn’t think of a response. This is the first time that they encountered such a customer.

"Dada, that’s bad. It’s illegal!" Yanyan acted like an angel and pulled him away towards the bodyguards waiting for them.

On the other hand, Shen Yuan was utterly speechless and could only cover his mouth to laugh. This human is the most spontaneous person he ever met, and it shocks him every time.

And it was pretty funny and outrageous.

Actually, this little day out that they pulled up out of nowhere was enjoyable for him.

It was fitting to say that no boring minute passed because Rong Suyin was an absolute sweetheart, Yanyan genuinely enjoyed their activities, and Bai Tingfeng, the serious one, didn’t pull a stinky face and was always smiling.

There were inexplicable times when he caught Bai Tingfeng staring at him, but he just shook it off for now and focused on the present.

They really had a great time.

They dined in the best traditional restaurant in the mall and watched a 3D cartoon movie, which sent Yanyan into a laughing fit inside the cinema, and when Rong Suyin said shopping, he meant a shopping spree!

Shen Yuan believed that he was the most impulsive buyer in the world because of his thoughtless spending on BL materials, but as it turns out, he was completely wrong! His father-in-law accumulated over 100 shopping bags for an hour of hopping around!

Thankfully, they have more than ten extra pairs of hands that help them with everything they buy.

When Rong Suyin decided he’d got enough spending, all four of them proceeded to the open-roofed activity area, which is currently transformed into a mini amusement park. There they saw the carousel, all light and pinky.

"Daddy! Daddy! Can we ride that? I saw on TV that we can ride as a family," the five-year-old looked at Shen Yuan with bright, hopeful eyes.

Rong Suyin and Bai Tingfeng included, their boy’s purity blinded all three adults, so they agreed.

However, his granddad bailed out at the last minute because he would toss out the roasted duck he had eaten earlier.

"Shen Yuan, you did great in Awakener’s Test! You’re so handsome and pretty at the same time!" Someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.

Shen Yuan, who was busy riding a fake unicorn with Yanyan, heard this and fell into momentary stupor. There are times he forgets that he was famous.

"Thank you! I love your shirt by the way. It complements your skin undertone," he just said out of random. But inwardly he was happy he was praised.

"They are pretty tamed," Shen Yuan heard the familiar voice of a man speaking from a horse beside him.

Of course, it was none other than Bai Tingfeng. He was referring to the fans who are looking at them. They didn’t take pictures nor crowded them, probably out of respect for an S-Class awakener.

"I thought so, too," answered Shen Yuan in a playful tone. Deep inside, he is smiling because this is the first time Bai Tingfeng has spoken to him after his blunder.

He must confess. This slightly chipped off a part of the guilt that was pressing on him.

For the record, he could be prideful and vicious, but if he wronged a person who clearly didn’t deserve it, he would be bugged by it.

Now, his dilemma was how he could apologize to the alpha.

However, because of this terse exchange between them, awkward silence followed after that.
