Chapter 68
"Well, that's because you were too rough." Susie shyly buried her face in Matt's chest.
Looking at the little wildcat curled up in his arms, Matt's lips curved slightly. "Your head is rubbing all over my chest. Are you playing with fire?"
Susie quickly lifted her head in alarm.
"But there seems to be another problem that's even worse." Susie sighed.
"What?" Susie pointed at the entire set of underwear Matt had torn to pieces.
"I bet I go through more underwear than any other woman in this mall."
Susie sighed again. "I'm wondering how I'm going to walk out of this bathroom. After all, I don't have the habit of bringing a spare set of underwear when I go shopping."
"Alright." Matt draped his suit jacket over Susie.
Susie got up and followed Matt out of the bathroom.
They saw Susie and Matt walking outside by side and stood up from the sofa together.
Susie looked a bit odd wearing Matt's suit jacket.
"Nick, do me a favor," Matt said.
"Go to the nearest pharmacy and get a bottle of emergency contraceptive pills," Matt said slowly.
"Oh, okay." Nick glanced at Sim and turned to leave.
"Matt, where are we going now?" Sim asked Matt, though his eyes couldn't help but fall on Susie.
"I think it should be the nearest lingerie store."
Matt looked at Susie. "What do you think, my little wildcat?"
"Oh, alright." Sim laughed.
"I think those guys playing video games are going to really regret missing this exciting moment," Sim said with a smile.
The lingerie store Susie had been to before.
The moment Susie stepped into the store, the clerk enthusiastically came over.
In such a high-end, expensive lingerie store, Susie had bought dozens of sets last time, so it was hard for the clerk not to remember her.
"Susie, what type of lingerie would you like to choose this time?"
Hearing the clerk's words, Susie's mind wandered a bit, her eyes unconsciously falling on Matt.
Matt thought this was Susie giving him a hint.
"I think when it comes to choosing lingerie, I seem to be the one who's better at it." Matt smiled.
Sim stood behind Matt and Susie with his arms crossed.
For some reason, he really wished there could be another guy beside him right now to share the awkwardness of being a third wheel alone.
"This one, this one, and this one..."
With a casual point from Matt, the clerk took down more than a dozen sets of lingerie from the shelves.
"If I remember correctly, Susie, you also bought more than a dozen sets of lingerie from our store last time, right?"
The store clerk smiled at Susie. "It looks like our store's lingerie is really popular with you, Susie. I'm very honored."
"I guess so." Susie smiled awkwardly.
"If you have any valuable suggestions, please feel free to give them to our lingerie store anytime." The clerk said to Susie with a smile.
Susie silently thought to herself, 'Can I suggest improving the quality of the lingerie? So that even if a man uses brute force, the underwear won't get torn apart.'
However, she only dared to think such ridiculous words in her head.
As for saying them out loud, forget it.
After all, she didn't want to become gossip material for the clerks here the moment she walked out of the store.
"That was really embarrassing just now," Susie whispered in Matt's ear after changing into new underwear.
Matt nodded. "Looks like we should have a rule for going out in the future—always bring an extra set of underwear."
Hearing Matt's teasing, Susie's fist lightly tapped on Matt's shoulder.
"Matt, I got the stuff." By the time Nick came back, Matt had already brought Susie out of the lingerie store.
Susie swallowed the emergency contraceptive pill Nick handed her without hesitation.
Watching Susie's decisiveness, Matt murmured, "Oh, I almost feel like you're killing my cute son."
Susie blinked at Matt. "If everyone got pregnant that easily, those gynecology hospitals would go out of business. I just don't want to take the risk."
"Alright, I guess you're right." Matt sighed softly.
"I think I need to continue the fire safety inspection upstairs," Matt said apologetically to Susie.
Susie nodded. "Okay, I think I'll go sit in the car and wait for you. My legs have no strength left at all."
"I certainly don't mind you doing that," Matt said.
Inside the black business car.
The men were still enthusiastically discussing the exciting moments from the video game earlier.
"But what did you and the boss do during that time?"
Gian suddenly started gossiping.
"I think I have the right not to answer your question," Susie refused.
Gian stared at Susie with a gossipy look. "So, is it something we shouldn't hear about?"
Faced with Gian's persistence, before Susie could fight back, the car door opened again.
Matt returned to the car after finishing the mall's fire safety inspection.
Gian was a bit disappointed. "Matt, you came back a bit too early. Otherwise, I think we would have gotten some gossip out of her."
"Is that so?" Matt asked with a smile.
"I think you should thank Matt for coming back in time, or have you forgotten what my fist felt like last time?"
Gian rubbed his left cheek. If he remembered correctly, last time this little wildcat's fist had landed right on his left cheek.
Such a thin and weak-looking person had so much strength that she almost knocked his teeth out.
"Alright, I got it." The men burst into laughter.
Susie seemed to be the most suitable woman in the world to be a mafia boss's fiancée.
Even this group of difficult guys around him was as obedient as pets in front of Susie.
"My little wildcat, you're even more amazing than I imagined." Matt leaned close to Susie's ear and praised softly.
"I think so," Susie smiled and pinched Matt's thigh.
"Are you hinting at something?" Matt said quietly to Susie.
Gian couldn't help but look at Matt and Susie through the rearview mirror.
"Of course not," Susie blinked at Matt. "I just wanted to tell you that all of this is real, not a dream."
"Oh, alright, I was overthinking it."
