After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was Forced to Play the Role of a Scumbag Alpha (GL) - Chapter 13

Chapter 13

In the afternoon, when Shen Hanzhi came over, the little girl was already awake. When Shen Hanzhi knocked on the door, the little girl was washing up in the bathroom.

Hearing the knock, the little girl hurriedly wiped her face and rushed to open the door for Shen Hanzhi.

Shen Hanzhi saw Wen Jin’s hair was messy and smiled, “Go tidy yourself up first. We’re not in a hurry.”

The little girl’s ears turned slightly red. She glanced at Shen Hanzhi and quickly ran back to the bathroom.

Shen Hanzhi entered the little girl’s room, sat on the bed, and waited for her to finish. In less than ten minutes, Wen Jin came out.

“Sister, I’m all done,” Wen Jin said, looking at Shen Hanzhi.

“Good. Uncle Wang is waiting for us downstairs,” Shen Hanzhi said, taking Wen Jin’s wrist and heading downstairs.

Wen Jin remembered riding in a car when she was very young. For the next ten years, her life was confined to the small attic at Rose Manor. She hadn’t ridden in a car for over a decade until recently, when the wedding car brought her from Rose Manor.

Wen Jin took a deep breath, looked at Shen Hanzhi beside her, and felt the sky outside was much brighter than at Rose Manor.

Shen Hanzhi opened the car door for Wen Jin, let her sit inside, and then got in from the other side.

Wang Haichuan soon started driving. Shen Hanzhi lowered the window slightly to let fresh air in, worried the little girl might feel uncomfortable. She pointed out places along the way, and the little girl listened attentively, peering out the window with an unconscious smile on her face.

“After a few more trips, you’ll get familiar with this area,” Shen Hanzhi said, seeing Wen Jin’s happiness. She felt relieved, worried that the little girl, so disconnected from society, might feel uneasy.

Wang Haichuan drove into the underground parking of a large mall. Shen Hanzhi led the little girl to an elevator and up to the mall.

The mall was vast, filled with dazzling goods. The first floor had men’s and women’s shoes. Shen Hanzhi casually entered a store.

Because of Wen Jin’s heel injury, Shen Hanzhi had her wear light canvas shoes. Now in the mall, she bought three or four pairs of various shoes for the little girl, letting her try them on. The shop assistants beamed; this store was not cheap, considered light luxury.

“As long as the size fits, pick a few nice styles,” Shen Hanzhi said while helping the little girl choose shoes.

“Sister, isn’t this too many?” the little girl asked, feeling overwhelmed by the shoes.

Shen Hanzhi smiled, “Not at all. Get a few pairs of each type for now. Next time we shop, we’ll buy more if you like something. Pack these up for me.”

“Okay, please wait,” the shop assistants said, quickly packing and organizing.

Shen Hanzhi paid and left an address for the store’s delivery service.

While Shen Hanzhi swiped her card, the little girl kept looking at it. Seeing her curiosity, Shen Hanzhi explained, “You need money to buy things outside, but nowadays, people rarely use cash. They use mobile payments or cards.”

Wen Jin nodded. She knew about money but didn’t know that cash was rarely used now. She wasn’t even clear on how to use cash, which made her feel a bit lost.

Shen Hanzhi noticed the little girl’s disappointment, took her hand, and said softly, “Don’t be upset. You’re so smart; you’ll pick this up quickly once you get used to it. Come on, let’s buy clothes.”

Shen Hanzhi held the little girl’s hand and walked toward the elevator. Wen Jin looked curiously at the people in the elevator. She vaguely remembered elevators from when her mother might have carried her in one as a child, but that was over a decade ago, and she hadn’t seen one since.

Shen Hanzhi held Wen Jin’s wrist, walked forward, and explained, “Just step on with me. Don’t be afraid.”

Wen Jin looked at Shen Hanzhi, who was smiling at her, her eyes full of a gentleness Wen Jin had never received. She froze for a moment, forgetting to respond.

Seeing the little girl staring at her in a daze, Shen Hanzhi gently poked her dimple, “Am I that nice to look at?”

Wen Jin snapped out of it, her ears visibly reddening.

Too shy to look at Shen Hanzhi, the little girl let Shen Hanzhi pinch her palm and smile, “Let’s go. I won’t tease you. Step onto the elevator with me.”

“Okay,” the little girl said, looking at the moving elevator with some nervousness. But seeing Shen Hanzhi beside her, she felt less afraid and stepped onto the elevator with her.

Afraid Wen Jin might be scared, Shen Hanzhi let go of her hand, held the railing with one hand, and wrapped the other around the little girl’s lower back.

Wen Jin found riding the elevator novel. With Shen Hanzhi holding her, she lost her earlier nervousness and looked around curiously, finding it fun.

Shen Hanzhi watched the little girl, her eyes smiling. A little rabbit should be happy every day.

They soon got off the elevator, and Shen Hanzhi first took the little girl to an underwear store.

A shop assistant approached and introduced, “Hello, ladies. What do you need? We have all kinds of underwear and sleepwear.”

“Comfortable bras, both regular and sports styles. Check what size she needs,” Shen Hanzhi said, glancing at the little girl.

The assistant looked at Wen Jin, making her blush.

The assistant then said to Shen Hanzhi, “Miss, she’s probably a C cup. For the exact size, it’s best to measure. Should I measure her?”

Hearing the assistant would measure her, the little girl stepped back, hiding behind Shen Hanzhi.

Shen Hanzhi patted the little girl’s hand and smiled, “She’s shy. I’ll measure her. Please get me a measuring tape.”

“Okay,” the assistant said, noticing Shen Hanzhi’s expensive yet understated clothing, knowing she likely had money. She quickly fetched the tape.

“Here you go, Miss.”

“Thank you,” Shen Hanzhi said, looking at the little girl, “Little Jin, I’ll measure you. If we buy the wrong size, it’ll be uncomfortable. Just relax your arms, stand straight, and puff out your chest.” Shen Hanzhi instructed seriously.

Wen Jin’s ears and cheeks turned red, but having Sister measure her was better than a stranger.

Shen Hanzhi slipped the tape under the little girl’s arms, measured roughly, and told the assistant the size.

The assistant quickly brought a bra, “Miss, she can try it on over her clothes for a more accurate fit.”

The assistant handed the bra to Wen Jin, who looked at Shen Hanzhi, her ears red.

Shen Hanzhi smiled, patted the little girl’s head, and said softly, “Just try it in the fitting room over there.”

Shen Hanzhi led the little girl to the fitting room, “I’ll wait outside.”

The little girl nodded, blushing, and tried it on in the fitting room.

Seeing Shen Hanzhi’s attentive care, the assistant smiled, “Miss, you and your sister have such a great relationship, so protective.”

Shen Hanzhi shook her head with a chuckle and explained, “Not my sister. She’s my wife.”

“Oh, you’re so lucky then. Your wife has such a great figure,” the assistant said, trailing off with a knowing look.

Shen Hanzhi smiled without commenting. She was just raising the little girl like a child; her figure didn’t matter much to her.

As Shen Hanzhi talked with the assistant, the little girl’s soft voice came from the fitting room, “Sister, I’m done. This one fits perfectly.”

“Good, then buy a few more in this size,” Shen Hanzhi said with a smile, knocking on the fitting room door, “Little Jin, come out when you’re ready. Pick the styles you like.”

The little girl adjusted her clothes and hair, ensuring nothing was messy, and came out, handing the bra to the assistant.

Shen Hanzhi led the little girl to choose styles, “See what styles or colors you like. These are daily essentials, so we’ll buy plenty.”

The little girl hesitated, her ears red, tugged Shen Hanzhi’s wrist, and whispered, “Sister, you choose for me. I don’t know.”

Her eyes were watery, looking timid from uncertainty.

Shen Hanzhi knew the little girl was shy and nodded. The assistant chimed in, “Yes, Miss, it’s only right for you to pick your wife’s clothes.”

Shen Hanzhi felt the assistant was imagining something wild but didn’t mind. She led the little girl to pick underwear.

Shen Hanzhi chose several plain-colored bras and some sports styles. When she saw the sleepwear, she smiled at the little girl, “Let’s get some pajamas too, okay? Look, isn’t this one with rabbits cute? This one with lambs is nice too.”

The little girl looked at the dazzling array of pajamas, unsure which to choose. She had no concept of these things, but as long as Sister liked them, she could wear them for her!

“Sister, buy whichever you like me to wear,” the little girl said, pulling Shen Hanzhi’s wrist, her eyes bright.

“Okay, we’ll take these. You’ll look adorable in animal pajamas,” Shen Hanzhi said, already picturing the little girl in rabbit pajamas, her smile unwavering.

Wen Jin, embarrassed by the praise, hid behind Shen Hanzhi, shyly.

Shen Hanzhi didn’t call her out, just asked the assistant to pack everything. She bought five full bags for the little girl, paid with her card, and had the store deliver them home.

After Shen Hanzhi and Wen Jin left, the shop assistants started gossiping.

“I didn’t expect that lady to like her wife in cartoon pajamas. Is this some new fetish?”

“It’s their couple’s thing.”
