With Li Ting's guidance and suggestions, Lin Jie picked out two sets of summer clothes and two sets of autumn clothes for himself, and also chose two sets of summer and autumn clothes for Lin Miao!

Based on the discounted clothes she had her eyes on for a long time, Li Ting completed a set of summer clothes and, according to her perfect weight, chose a beautiful set of autumn clothes for herself!

Looking at this set of autumn clothes, her eyes lit up as she said confidently, "I must successfully lose weight to fit into these clothes!"

After choosing the clothes, Lin Jie didn't even ask about the price, declined the store's home delivery service, and left with Li Ting carrying the clothes.

However, from the store manager's wide smile, it was obvious that the cost wasn't low.

Putting the clothes in the car, Li Ting asked worriedly, "Lin Jie, are you sure it's okay? I estimate these clothes cost at least three to four hundred thousand!"

Lin Jie explained softly, "It's fine, you don't need to worry!"

"That guy is the owner of the Han Group, worth at least several billions, for him, even a few million is just a drizzle!"

In fact, he still secretly blamed himself for not being hard-hearted and fierce enough. When the moment came, he hesitated a bit and thought he should have chosen seven or eight sets, a dozen sets of clothes each, even emptied the store to make Han Wenbin truly heartbroken!

Li Ting let go of her worry, clinging to the autumn outfit as she said lavishly, "Lin Jie, it's dinner time! Come on, I'll treat you to a 568 yuan seafood buffet!"

"Come on now!"

Lin Jie glared at her and said, "You're still on a diet, going to a buffet like this, you'll be at a loss! Let's just have some Western food!"

Li Ting pouted and murmured, "The Western restaurant at Henglong Mall costs nearly as much as the buffet!"

She didn't lower her voice on purpose, so Lin Jie naturally heard it and, feeling a stir, smiled and asked, "Li Ting, do you actually want to eat seafood yourself, don't you?"

The question seemed to touch a sore spot with Li Ting, as she pouted and said with grievance, "I've been dieting for three months now, every day just vegetables and rice, barely daring to eat any fruit!"

"I can't hold on anymore; I just want...want to have a good meal!"

This aggrieved tone, this pitiful expression, it was the first time Lin Jie saw Li Ting like this!

He wanted to laugh but couldn't quite manage, pointing at the clothes in Li Ting's arms and said, "Someone just said they'd have no problem not eating for a month to beautifully fit into this attire!"

Li Ting timidly raised a finger and said, "I just want to indulge this once!"

Her current looks reminded Lin Jie abruptly of his former self, enduring the torment of looking at a bowl of braised pork but only being able to eat a few pieces!

Lin Jie empathized and said, "Just bear with it today. Tomorrow, Miaomiao doesn't have to work; I'll take you both to Zhujia Port for the freshest seafood!"

Li Ting smacked her lips, nodded, and said, "Alright then, I'll hold on until tomorrow. What should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Go home, rest, you can buy that set of clothes yourself! I'm about to drop dead from exhaustion!"

"Then can I go back with you and have another bowl of the noodles you made on the day you moved in? I think they're really delicious!"

Seeing Lin Jie's gaze look over again, Li Ting weakly said, "For tonight's seafood, I've only had a bun, a bowl of porridge, and an apple since morning, so I'm both tired and hungry!"

Lin Jie also felt a bit impressed with her; it was truly taxing for her to walk so energetically for so long today, not knowing how she managed to hold on.

He started the car and drove out of the parking lot!

After getting home, Lin Jie cooked a pot of green vegetable shredded pork shrimp egg noodles as their dinner.

After the meal, Li Ting held the clothes meant for Li Miao against herself and said, "Miaomiao will look stunning in these clothes! I'm just a little taller than Miaomiao; once I slim down, I can wear these too!"

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said softly, "Let's just put away Miaomiao's clothes for now."

"Why?" Li Ting asked in confusion.

"To us, these clothes are very high-end fashion, too extravagant for work and leisure at home. With Miaomiao's nature, if she knew the value of these clothes, she would be reluctant to wear them, so we'll put them away for now!"

In truth, Lin Jie's real thought was to wait for Lin Miao's eyes to heal before wearing these clothes.

In today's complex society, with Lin Miao having little ability to protect herself, wearing a set of expensive branded clothes would be too showy; it's better for her to dress more simply!

Li Ting nodded with some understanding and carefully put the clothes away in the wardrobe.

Lin Jie noticed it was already past nine o'clock and said, "Li Ting, I need to drive to pick up Miaomiao, so you'll have to do your own thing!"

Li Ting lay comfortably and lazily on the sofa, "I'll rest for a bit and then get a cab home on my own; no need to worry about me!"

Over an hour later, Lin Jie and Lin Miao opened the door and heard a light snoring sound.

Lin Miao giggled and said, "Brother, we've got a lazy little pig in our house!"

Lin Jie took a few steps forward and saw Li Ting lying on the sofa, mouth slightly open, sleeping soundly, fortunately without drooling!

"Miaomiao, you take a bath first; I'll get your midnight snack ready, let her sleep a bit more, then I'll drive her home."

Lin Miao nodded and directly went back to her room.

Lin Jie went to the kitchen to prepare Lin Miao's midnight snack, just boiling some wontons, cutting some cooked food, mixing some cold dishes, and reheating the food deliberately left over from lunch, all very simple tasks.

Amid Lin Jie's busy work, soft music suddenly started playing in the living room.

Following the music, Li Ting's groggy voice sounded, "Mom... I'm sleeping... of course I am..."

As she spoke, Li Ting realized the scene in front of her wasn't her bedroom at all!

Startled, she sat up from the sofa and quickly explained, "I'm playing at a classmate's, got too tired from shopping in the afternoon, laid down on the sofa, and fell asleep without realizing it."

"Oh, I got it... Goodbye, mom!"

After hanging up, Li Ting stood up and walked towards the kitchen, gloomily saying, "Lin Jie, my mom wants me home by twelve."

Lin Jie softly replied, "I'll drive you back after I finish the midnight snack! And remember to come over early tomorrow morning, I'll drive you both to Zhujia Port!"

Li Ting nodded, "Seafood is such a temptation for me now; I'll definitely be here tomorrow morning! Meanwhile, could Miaomiao give me a massage?"

"No way!" Lin Jie's response was firm and decisive!

He added, "Apart from when Miaomiao was an apprentice and practiced on me, I never let her work hard!"

Li Ting whined, "But I'm really tired today, my legs are sore after just a short nap!"

Lin Jie glared and said, "You're only tired for a day, a good night's sleep will fix it! Miaomiao is always tired, she should rest well when she gets home!"

"Such a sis-con!" Li Ting murmured softly.
