Chapter 162: Let’s Get Engaged! (3)

They were only getting engaged and there was really nothing much to buy.
Mo Beihan was unwilling and insisted on buying something festive. If they were in the previous lifetime, he could prepare plenty of items for Yao Yao but this time period simply forbade him from doing anything.
Things like clothes, shoes and accessories were a must at a wedding.
However, people were forbidden from wearing accessories in this time period and the only thing they could wear was a watch.
However, Gu Qingyao already had a watch as Mo Beihan just bought an imported watch for her awhile ago and she definitely would not want another watch.
Mo Beihan said, “That’s from before. Why can’t I buy it now? An engagement must be ceremonial so I will buy one more watch. When we get married, I will buy another one for you. All of them will be different pieces and you can wear it on rotation!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“It’s okay, Brother Beihan. One is enough. I won’t be able to wear them all…”
Mo Beihan looked around their surroundings and mumbled to her, “Are you a lady? Don’t all ladies like to display all sorts of luxury goods? Even if they are not wearing them, won’t they be happy from looking at them?”
Er…
Gu Qingyao was short of words. This… really seemed to be the case!
Mo Beihan was insistent on buying a watch, and what more a good one. He led Gu Qingyao to the watch counter and asked for an imported watch.
This time, he did not buy a Rolex but bought an Omega instead. It was extremely gorgeous when worn on the wrist and its design was more feminine with a stunning pale pink color.
Of course, the price was especially beautiful too!
Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched. A few hundred dollars!
After purchasing the watch, they headed to purchase clothes. This time, there was nothing nice to browse at as the better items were probably already being sold given the larger crowd on year-end.
Nevertheless, there was a checkered woolen cloth that was pretty decent and they bought it. Since Gu Qingyao still had many cloths on hand, she only asked for an amount that could make a piece of garment.
Next were pants and shoes.
“Forget about the pants. I still have some on my hands. This is simpler. Black would be alright,” Gu Qingyao said.
Mo Beihan agreed after some thought. There were not many choices in this time period and a pair of black pants was enough.
“Let’s buy two pairs of shoes then. A leather shoe is especially fashionable to wear now!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
This was really the case!
One was considered relatively trendy and fashionable if he or she wore a leather shoe in this time period.
Once they arrived at the shoe counter, the lady at the counter saw that Mo Beihan looked rather wealthy, especially with all those items he was carrying, and immediately showed him a few pairs of shoes from Shanghai.
“This is the newest design. It’s said to be imported from Shanghai. This design is very new. Do you want to look at it?”
The designs in Shanghai were usually more fashionable. Mo Beihan looked at the shoes at the counter and truthfully speaking, they were nothing to bat an eyelid at when viewed using the modern lens.
But in this time period, they were indeed very fashionable!
It was a cotton-padded leather shoe with an upper that was slightly higher than ordinary leather shoes. Thus, it would be warmer when worn in the winter.
Although the design was rather new, there was only one such design.
The sizes were not uniformed, that’s all. On the other hand, the remaining few designs were older!
Other leather shoes were about eight to nine dollars and better ones were twelve dollars. This latest design was the most expensive, being priced at fifteen dollars.
Mo Beihan bought the most expensive pair in Gu Qingyao’s foot size. He wanted to buy another pair but Gu Qingyao hurriedly stopped him. “It’s okay. The quality of this pair is very good and it will not spoil even after wearing it for ten years. There’s no need to buy so many pairs.”
