Chapter 166:120, Chen Kainan, long time no see! Visit again the self-built house at No. 139’_1
When Lin Mo woke up the next day, the time was already a little past 10 am.
Li Jinwen was sitting in a chair doing her makeup. Seeing Lin Mo waking up in the mirror, she couldn’t help but turn around and say, “You’re awake already?
Did I wake you?”
“No… I just woke up naturally.”
“Oh, that’s good. By the way, honey, I’ve laid out a few sets of clothes for you over there. Try them on later and see which one looks good.”
“Hmm, what time did you get up?”
Lin Mo stretched leisurely and sighed, “Shopping really is a physical activity, too. I wandered around the antique market all day yesterday without doing any heavy lifting, but I still feel dead tired. You shopped at Sijiqing for so long and still don’t feel tired at all?”
“I also got up not long ago.”
Li Jinwen said with a laugh, “Shopping is okay. What’s there to be tired about?
Sure, my feet sometimes get sore from walking too much, but as soon as I think about all the nice clothes ahead, I’m instantly full of energy!
“Even if I don’t buy anything, just looking is worth it.”
“Not to mention me, you didn’t see it yesterday, but your girl was brimming with energy. She doesn’t know the meaning of tired when buying clothes. I really admire her. And just this morning, she came over early to ask me what we’re doing today. I told her we’d wait until her dad woke up. She’s in the living room watching TV now, waiting for you to get up.”
Well, then,
men and women might not even be the same species.
After Lin Mo got up, he tried on the first set of clothes. They fit well, and the fabric was comfortable. He wasn’t picky about clothes at all and nodded in satisfaction, saying, “Wife, I think this outfit is fine. No need to try on the rest.”
” How can that be okay!”
Li Jinwen stopped her makeup, stood up, looked Lin Mo over from head to toe, and urged, “Hurry and try the other ones. Honestly, you’re quite handsome, and you have a good physique. I think you must be dressed up well from now on, you’ll definitely be more handsome than those male celebrities!”
“Besides, aren’t we going back home today? You need to dress up and look sharp!”
Better looking than male celebrities?
That might be an exaggeration!
Flattery will get you everywhere!
Lin Mo was aware of what he looked like.
He wasn’t unpleasant to look at, but he wasn’t especially handsome either, just an ordinary guy with regular features.
His physique, though, was quite good: not the exaggerated muscle blocks you see in gyms, built from protein powder, but very lean and sturdy muscle lines, tall and thin, with a good proportion of limbs, and long legs.
Years of physical labor had taken a toll on his back muscles but had also given him a perfect figure.
“Stop flattering, keep it up and your husband will start floating away. Fine, I’ll listen to you and try on some other clothes.”
Lin Mo was reluctant to waste too much time on his appearance; with that time, he would rather explore the system. But he was still quite willing to keep his wife happy.
Besides, looking smart wouldn’t hurt.
He was no longer a porter, and sometimes, it was necessary to care about his image.
Clothes make the man.
Dressing smartly can also avoid many little troubles.
As for the cliched plots of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, Lin Mo wasn t very interested.
He didn’t want to play the pig, nor did he want to eat the tiger.
He just wanted to live his life quietly and comfortably.
The matters in Yuhangwere almost settled. Today was their last day here; they would be flying back in the evening.
After trying on all the clothes, Lin Mo looked at himself in the mirror.
You wouldn’t believe it, you really wouldn’t.
A black suit paired with a white sweater, topped with a long black coat, actually looked pretty good together.
It had a bit of a Tommy Shelby vibe.
Li Jinwen nodded in satisfaction and said, “See, having you try on a couple more outfits was the right call. This one really suits you, it’s as if it was tailor- made. It elevates your demeanor instantly.”
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Mo turned from side to side and sincerely added, “It does look really nice. I never thought I, Lin Mo, could actually have a day when I looked so sharp!”
Men get better looking with age.
Now at 30 years old, Lin Mo really had quite some charm.
Especially the tufts of white hair by his ears made him look all the more profound.
At that moment,
Lin Xiaoxiao’s faint call came from outside the door.
“Mom, is dad awake yet? I’m so hungry!”
“Alright, alright, once your dad is dressed we’ll head out!” Li Jinwen helped Lin Mo take off his coat and urged, “Go wash up quickly, then we’ll head out to grab something to eat.”
“Yeah, we don’t have much to do today, so we three can go shopping leisurely.” Lin Mo said with a smile and headed into the adjacent bathroom to start freshening up.
In the next couple of days, Lin Mo expected he would be very busy.
He might even settle in Rakshasa City for a while.
So, taking advantage of the time he had now, he wanted to spend more time with his wife and daughter.
Lin Mo was quick to freshen up, done in just a few minutes.
However, it took a good half hour for the family of three to make it out the door.
The time women spend on makeup is a bottomless pit, with so many steps that Lin Mo watched several times and still couldn’t remember them all.
It was nearly 11 am by the time the famished family finally left the hotel and found a bustling local Zhenjiang pot cover noodles shop to enter.
While waiting for the noodles, Lin Mo received a reminder text from Shenzhou Car Rental.
The rental period for the car was up, and they were asking if he wanted to renew the rental.
Lin Mo glanced at the message and thought for a moment, then said, “Wife, our car rental is nearly up. I have an idea. After we return the car, let’s buy a new one. What do you think?”
