LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 23: Shopping
"So do you have any kindergarten in mind?" Bo Ehuang asked her husband.
Zan Guiying was sleeping in the middle.
"Father selected some of them. We should decide tomorrow."
"Then we should take one nearest to our home, with good teachers and a good record."
"Yes!"
***
Next day they had a deep discussion in Grandpa Zan' room. They selected 'Sunshine Kindergarten' which one of the nearest of them all. Zan Tengfei wanted his daughter to be studied in the kindergarten which he studied, but it was far from their villa so the option was cut out.
***
"I am gwoin to kindewgwaten!!" Zan Guiying announced to the De children.
"It is a great news!! You are really growing!!" De Hua commented.
"So did you decide the place?" De Longjun asked.
"I dunno!! Daddy, mommy and gwandpa decided it. I don't know wew I am gwoin to gwo!!" She said sadly.
"It's okay yingying! When you reached there, you would know." De Genji comforted her.
"Then how wud I pway with you?!" Zan Guiying asked.
"Well after our school started, we are meeting only for three days. So you could play with other friends during the remaining days!" De Hua reminded.
Zan Guiying nodded.
"So did you buy the things you needed?!" De Haoyu asked.
"What thins?!" Zan Guiying asked.
"Your bag.... Books... Things like that!!"
"No! I didn't!! Oh... What I wiw dwo?!"
"Hey!! Don't panic!! We could ask your parents permission to go to shopping!!" De Longjun said.
He took out his phone and called Zan Guiying's parents.
After sometime.
"Alright! Thank you Uncle Zan!!" He hung up his call.
"What did my daddy say?!" She asked.
"Uncle Zan gave us permission!!"
"Yea....s!!"
"But not today but Sunday!! Yingying's mommy would also be there with us."
"Mommy wiw awso come wid us?!" She asked.
"Yes. So Sunday it is!!" De Haoyu pointed.
***
Sunday.
Xi Fang, Bo Ehuang and kids arrived in the shopping mall 'MallDeLux'. It was owned by De's so their arrival was informed early.
"Welcome Mrs De!!" Manager came and greeted them.
"It will be good if you don't inform the other customers. After all customers is most important in our mall!" De Longjun instructed.
The manager had already seen De Longjun with his father, so he understood De Longjun's authority.
"As you wish! Young master De!!"
***
The shopping was too much fun. The kids were squealing happily and running around like all the kids.
There were kids section in the mall. They played in that with the parents and De Longjun overlooking. Sometimes De Longjun goes to the workers there and talked to them.
There was ice skating available in the mall. The kids wore jackets. They were given boots and blade.
Zan Guiying looked at De Longjun. He was looking at them from the railings but had not entered inside.
"Bwig bwothew Jun!!" She called him.
"Yingying doesn't know to pway this!! Pweas hewp me!!" She grabbed his hand.
The elders laughed. De Genji looked at her brother.
Falling for her persuasion, De Longjun changed to a jacket. He also wore his boots and blades.
"Grab my hands!!" He steadied her up. And he began to move. The first fall of Zan Guiying came within seconds.
"Ouch!!" She fell in her butt.
De Longjun helped her to get up. He laughed. "Look at my body and stand like I do!" He said.
After a couple of trials, she completed covering half of the ice skating area.
"Mommy!!" She waved.
Bo Ehuang waved back.
"It's so much fun!!" She giggled and skated for sometime.
"Children can we go to shopping?!" Xi Fang asked.
The children reluctantly agreed. But before starting their shopping, they ate a lavish lunch from the mall restaurant.
Their first stop was at the kids bag section. Seeing the bags, Zan Guiying wanted every bag from there which Bo Ehuang refused. Zan Guiying pouted. But coaxed by her mother. They settled at a Doraemon printed bag. She selected a Doraemon knight.
And a bunny printed water bottle was selected next. Crayons, sketch pens, water colour, picture books everything was selected and was taken to billing section.
After that they gone to a parlour area. Where all of them where where groomed.
***
Bo Ehuang and Xi Fang sighed with relief.
"After children's shopping, the time came for our shopping!!" Xi Fang declared.
"Then what about the kids?!" Bo Ehuang asked.
"It will be okay. We have bodyguards with us. We can leave the kids with them."
Bo Ehuang looked around, but there was no one.
Suddenly Xi Fang called some plain dressed men and women.
What!! They were already here?!
Xi Fang looked at Bo Ehuang's gaped mouth. She chuckled. "We should be always careful!"
After instructing both kids and bodyguards the two mother's left for their shopping.
The kids started to explore around the mall with De Longjun as their leader. They ate and played around.
After sometime they got tired and sat down.
"Brother I want to go to toilet." De Genji said.
"Take a guard with you. It would be safe." De Hua said.
"Sister!! There is no need for that. The washroom is nearby. I will go and come within seconds!!" She said.
"Don't take too much time." De Longjun instructed.
"Okay! Brother. Wait for me." She said and ran towards the toilet.
***
When De Genji opened the washroom, there was only two three people inside. They were already leaving.
After doing her buisness, she was washing her hand.
Suddenly some girl opened the bathroom door.
"Oh! My! It got ruined. What would I do?!" She was murmuring.
De Genji looked at the girl. "What happened?" She asked.
"Oh!! Hai!! My dress got ruined because of some colour." She was rubbing off colour from her top.
"Is it the employees mistake?" De Genji asked.
"No! No! It was my own. I tripped on it accidentally. But thank!! God!! It was small!!" The girls said.
"Here!! Let me help you!!" De Genji took some tissue and started to rub off the paint.
"Oh!! Thank you!!" The girl said.
After sometime the paint was removed. The top had some faint markings on it. But it could only be seen if you look carefully.
"Why didn't you buy a new top....After all you are in a mall!" De Genji asked.
"The problem is.... It is the new top I brought. I fought with my mom for it!!" She laughed.
She looked at her top.
"Thank you!! Sorry, but I didn't ask your name?!"
"Oh my name is De Genji!" De Genji introduced herself.
"Oh!! My name is Chang Mingxia!" The girl introduced.
"So shall we go?!"
They both nodded. De Genji pulled the doors handle.....
But it was not opening.
"What happened?! Chang Mingxia asked.
"The door!! The door was not opening!!" De Genji panicked.
"Let me try it!" Chang Mingxia tried it too. But it was not opening.
They bothe tried to pull the door handle... But it all failed. They both got panicked.
They began to knock the door... "Hello... Brother....we are stuck here!!! Somebody help us!!! Please... Hello!!!!" The girls began to knock the door frantically.
Nobody heard it outside....
Outside is too vibrant and too loud for anybody to hear their voice...
