Chapter 166
While Lila was lost in thought, Alexander had already walked over to the passenger side and pulled open the car door.
She turned her head and was surprised to see his tall, imposing figure standing by the car.
Alexander was actually opening the car door for her?
There were no elders around right now, so why was he still working so hard to play the role of a good husband?
Did he just naturally love to put on a show?
Seeing her staring at him without moving an inch, Alexander's thin lips curved into a mocking smile. "What, is the passenger seat of this luxury car too comfortable? So comfortable that Mrs. Sinclair doesn't want to get out?"
Lila instinctively got up and stepped out of the car.
Sigh, Alexander never spoke nicely.
Looking at the friends and couples going in and out of the mall entrance, walking together, she suddenly felt that shopping for jewelry with Alexander, given their relationship, was really awkward.
Lila stood hesitantly by the car, forgetting to move for a moment.
Alexander glanced at her and said impatiently, "Why are you still standing there? Want me to formally invite you to lift your feet?"
Lila gritted her teeth and walked toward the mall entrance without another word.
The first floor of the mall had luxury brand counters, some selling bags, some selling skincare products, and some selling watches.
Of course, there was also an area dedicated to selling jewelry from various brands.
Lila was debating whether she should just randomly pick a few cheap gold pieces and leave, or what to do.
Alexander, walking beside her, spoke up, "Didn't Grandma say everyone in your town buys these gold pieces when they get married? So you must have already decided which brand to pick when you got married, right? You've probably even figured out how many grams the bracelet should be—the thicker the better, the heavier the better?"
Lila looked at him disapprovingly. "Is that how shallow you think I am?"
"Otherwise, what kind of good impression do you think you should have in my mind?"
"Have you forgotten? You personally told Grandma I was sweet, cute, had a good personality, and was smart. Aren't those all good impressions you have of me?"
After her retort, she smiled with a bit of smugness. "I really didn't expect it—you usually don't speak pleasantly, but you pay quite a bit of attention to me. You understand me pretty well. When you said that to Grandma, I was actually a bit surprised."
Alexander snorted coldly, looking at her like she was an idiot. "Those were just words to make the old lady happy. You actually believed them?"
She met his gaze, smiling as she asked back, "If they were just words to humor Grandma, why didn't you say I was sexy, alluring, and unique?"
Alexander scoffed with disdain. "Use your brain and think—do you have anything to do with 'sexy'?"
Hearing this, Lila's smile deepened. "So, I do have something to do with sweet, cute, good personality, and smart?"
Alexander froze, a bit choked up.
Had he been caught off guard and led into Lila's trap again?
Fine, just fine.
Lila was even more cunning than those seasoned, difficult foxes in the business world!
Rendered speechless, Alexander grabbed her wrist in frustration and pulled her to a gold jewelry counter, looking down at her. "Hurry up and choose. Buy something and let's go."
Having won a round in her confrontation with Alexander, Lila was in a great mood.
So now, instead of arguing with this giant of words, she inexplicably wanted to tease him a bit.
She looked down at Alexander's large hand that had just grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the counter, then looked up at him with her head tilted, smiling. "Honey, is my wrist really soft? Do you really like holding it?"
