After Li Lili finished speaking, she also went to look at the bag.

"What kind of bag do you want to buy?" Chen Mengyao turned to look at Li Lili and asked.

"I just heard about a new model and wanted to see what it was like," Li Lili said casually.

"Madam, I'm sorry, our newest items just arrived and they've already been sold. Could you please see if there's anything else you like?" the salesperson said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you," Li Lili nodded after hearing that.

"Please wrap this up for me." Chen Mengyao handed the bag in her hand to the shop assistant, and then followed the shop assistant to the counter to pay.

However, after looking at them, Li Lili didn't find anything she liked.

After seeing that Chen Mengyao had paid the bill, she said, "Let's go. Let's go take another look."

The two then moved on to the next battle.

"Ningxue, what do you think of this dress?" After arriving at the clothing store, Chen Mengyao picked up a dress and asked.

"Not good, take a look at some others." Li Lili looked carefully and then began to speak.

“Look at this,” the two said at the same time.

"Let's go try it together," Li Lili said with a smile.

The two then went to the fitting room together and began trying on clothes.

"It's alright," Li Lili said, looking at her clothes after coming out.

"I feel good too," Chen Mengyao said cheerfully.

"Haha," the two laughed simultaneously. A quick glance revealed their understanding. They went to the counter together to pay.

"It feels so good to spend money," Li Lili said sincerely after leaving the store.

“So, it’s so much more carefree not to get married. You only have to worry about yourself. You can spend your own money however you want,” Chen Mengyao said smugly. “But after you get married, you can spend your husband’s money too,” Li Lili retorted, unconvinced.

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you about this. You might as well spend your time spending money on something else." Chen Mengyao quickly interrupted Li Lili.

"Let's go." Upon hearing this, Li Lili immediately laughed, and then, while talking, she pulled Chen Mengyao forward to continue shopping.

Women can be terrifying when they go shopping because they don't feel tired.

Chapter 350 Each Holds His Own Account

It's getting late, and Li Lili and Chen Mengyao are still having a great time shopping.

"Ningxue, what do you think of this?" Just then, Chen Mengyao tried on a beige hat.

“Okay.” Li Lili was also picking out hats. After hearing Chen Mengyao’s words, she looked up at Chen Mengyao and then spoke.

So Chen Mengyao and Li Lili tried on a few more hats, and then each bought one.

“Shoes, shoes,” Chen Mengyao said, pointing to the shoes in the shop.

She took a liking to the shoes in the shop window and immediately pulled Li Lili over.

"It looks great!" Chen Mengyao exclaimed repeatedly as she put it on, her eyes glued to the screen.

"Buy it," Li Lili said domineeringly.

However, after hearing this, Chen Mengyao smiled and nodded, then said to the shop assistant, "Swipe the card."

After leaving the shoe store, Chen Mengyao looked at the package in her hand and then said to Li Lili, "Don't I have a lot of stuff? It's a bit heavy."

However, Li Lili immediately laughed after hearing what Chen Mengyao wanted to say.

"You really are something. If it weren't so heavy, you wouldn't have realized how much you bought," Li Lili said with a smile.

"It's okay, I can still hold on. Let's go, let's keep going," Chen Mengyao said bravely.

"Of course we have to keep shopping! Our cosmetics haven't arrived yet," Li Lili said immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot," Chen Mengyao quickly replied.

The two then went straight to the lipstick counter to buy lipsticks.

"This shade is nice, it looks good," Li Lili said after picking one out.

“This one works too,” Chen Mengyao said to Li Lili after trying the color on her arm.

So the two of them buried themselves in choosing lipsticks.

"Wrap them all up," Li Lili said to the shop assistant.

However, at that moment, Li Lili's phone rang. It was Chen Ling calling.

"Hey, honey, what time are you coming back? I'll come pick you up," Chen Ling said quickly after the call connected.

"Okay, it's almost ready now. Come over. I'll send you the location in a bit," Li Lili said immediately after hearing this, and then hung up the phone.

"See, see, what did I tell you? You really aren't free after getting married, are you?" Chen Mengyao said to Li Lili from the side.

“What? This is just him trying to comfort me. You’re too young to understand,” Li Lili retorted.

"Hmph, I'm not going to talk to you about that anymore. Let's hurry up and buy some more things before he comes over." After saying that, Chen Mengyao pulled Li Lili and started walking out.

"What else do I need to buy?" Li Lili looked at the items in her hands, carefully considering what she was still missing.

"Oh, it seems there isn't any left. Let's find a place to get a drink of water then," Chen Mengyao said upon seeing the situation.

"Great idea!" Li Lili said happily. The two of them then hit it off immediately, found a milk tea shop, and prepared to go there to wait for Chen Ling.

"Let me tell you, even though you're married now, you have to remember that you're a complete person. Don't let Chen Ling get in your way," Chen Mengyao said while drinking her juice.

"Huh? It's not as exaggerated as you say. We're doing just fine," Li Lili said casually.

"Then isn't he still controlling your time?" Chen Mengyao asked, unwilling to give up.

"You're overthinking it. If Chen Ling really wanted to control my time, he wouldn't have let me go shopping. It's just that it's late now, and he wanted to come pick me up. You're overthinking it," Li Lili said to Chen Mengyao.

"I'm just reminding you. You know what you're doing," Chen Mengyao said calmly.

"Mengyao, tell me the truth. Do you really not believe in marriage?" Li Lili asked, looking at Chen Mengyao.

“Yes, I don’t believe it. I think marriage changes women too much, and men aren’t very loyal to marriage either,” Chen Mengyao said firmly.

"Have you ever considered that you might have misunderstood the meaning of marriage? It simply allows two people to be more responsible together. It's true that some people are unhappy in their marriages, but this unhappiness shouldn't be solely attributed to the man. Often, it's just a communication breakdown that causes the two people to drift apart. Of course, there are definitely bad men out there, but if you truly carefully assess someone and understand their character, I think you can minimize that chance. Even if the two of you still separate in the end, it's because you're simply incompatible and can't live together." Li Lili began to share her thoughts.

“If it’s not right, why get married? I know what you said makes a lot of sense, but since you said that after marriage you should be more responsible, then for the sake of the children, the two of you should live together. Since you’re married, even if the love is gone, they should still have familial affection. Why would anyone choose to leave?” Chen Mengyao insisted on her thoughts.

“If it’s not working out, just separate! It’s not a big deal, as long as the two people have seriously discussed the plan and are responsible for the child. Of course, I also mind infidelity during marriage,” Li Lili said with a smile.

"It still feels like a lot of trouble. Getting married is really scary," Chen Mengyao continued.

“Oh dear, I think you have too many misunderstandings about marriage. No matter how I explain it to you, you can’t understand it. Marriage is really a wonderful thing. You can try to let go of your prejudices first,” Li Lili continued.

"Oh, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, it'll hurt our feelings," Chen Mengyao said with a smile.

"Mengyao, just let the past be the past. Learn to let go. Don't think about it so much, and don't ruin your own happiness," Li Lili said to Chen Mengyao.

"If only it were as easy as you say," Chen Mengyao said sadly to Li Lili.

"Believe me, Mengyao, you will find your own happiness. You are such a good person, you will definitely meet a good man," Li Lili said firmly to Chen Mengyao.

"Ningxue, do you think I'll really meet a good man?" Chen Mengyao asked Li Lili, gazing at her intently.

"You definitely will. You're so outstanding, you'll definitely meet someone. Don't worry," Li Lili said with a smile to Chen Mengyao.

However, after hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Mengyao began to wonder if she could really find happiness like Li Lili described. This kind of happiness was something she had never dared to hope for before.

Chapter 351 Shopping Mall Opening

After hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Mengyao felt a sense of longing. These longings are probably common to every girl. Just then, Chen Ling arrived at the mall entrance.

"Hey, Ningxue, I've arrived. Have you finished shopping?" Chen Ling said to Li Lili on the phone.

"Okay, okay, I'm going out now," Li Lili said quickly, and then hung up the phone.

“Chenling has arrived, let’s go.” Li Lili said to Chen Mengyao.

"Okay," Chen Mengyao nodded.

He then stood up, picked up his things, and prepared to leave.

"Chen Ling." Li Lili called out immediately upon seeing Chen Ling.

Chen Ling quickly took the things from Li Lili's hands and then said, "You guys really know how to shop! It's so late now."

"Then you should take her home quickly. I'm leaving now," Chen Mengyao said immediately after hearing Chen Ling's words.

So after Chen Mengyao left, Li Lili and Chen Ling also prepared to go back.

After the two returned home, Chen Ling asked, "Did you buy me anything?"

However, at this moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed and then said shyly, "No."

After Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately ran to the bathroom to wash up.

Once inside, Li Lili slapped her head and said, "Really, why didn't I think of that?"

However, Chen Ling in the room wasn't so petty. He figured it was fine if there wasn't any, and didn't take it to heart; he had only asked casually.

"The mall is opening today, everyone please keep an eye on the customer flow." Chen Ling held a meeting with everyone as soon as he arrived at the company in the morning.

"Okay, Mr. Chen," the colleagues replied quickly. After the meeting ended, Li Lili pulled up the mall's real-time surveillance footage, which showed a constant stream of people inside.

"The mall's decor is really beautiful."

"Yes, yes, we can go and take a look after we get off work."

"Now we'll have a new place to go shopping."

"You can even take photos."

The female colleagues in the company were all discussing the shopping mall in the break room. Li Lili overheard them and thought it was a good idea; she also wanted to go check it out that evening. However, just then, Li Lili suddenly remembered that she had told Chen Mengyao that they would go shopping together when the mall opened. So, Li Lili decided to ask Chen Mengyao if she wanted to go that evening.

"Mengyao, do you have time tonight?" Li Lili walked up to Chen Mengyao and asked.

"Huh? Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Mengyao looked up at Li Lili and said.

"Oh, it's because we agreed to go check out the mall together when it opens. Now that it's open, if you have time after get off work tonight, let's go together," Li Lili said with a smile.

"Oh, is that so? Okay then, I'll tell Chen Ling later," Li Lili said, somewhat disappointed. But at least someone else could go with her.
