The God of Death
SHOPPING WITH MOM

"Oh my beautiful princess has come." welcome Madame Li happily as Shuwan, Wei and Li Minghao enter her residence.

"Daughter?" parrot Shuwan while frowning.

"Because you don't want to marry my stupid son, then I'll make you my adopted daughter.You don't mind, do you?"

Shuwan smiled stiffly in response to the words of Madam Li. She did not know what to say.

"But nonya, what about Mr. Li, Li Minghao, as well as the Li family?" Shuwan hesitated to say that.

"You take it easy Wan'er, they'll agree.If they don't agree, let me go and stay with you."

Madam Li said as she looked at her husband and son in a threatening tone.Isn't that a coercion?

"Leave it! After all, Li's residence did not yet have a daughter." great master Li who was the father of master Li Hongli did not mind the wishes of his daughter-in-law.

"The matter of the adopted daughter is over.Now I will invite my daughter to buy clothes and jewelry to wear tomorrow.Come on my daughter, we go."

Madam Li clasped Shuwan's hand and took him out of the Li residence to the train that had been used to pick Shuwan up.

"Mrs, where are we going?" "Don't call madam!Now you are my daughter, and I am your mother.So you must call me mother.Remember, MOM!"

Madam Li emphasized her call to Shuwan.She was very unhappy that the girl still called her mistress.

"Mother, where are we going?" Shuwan rectifies his words awkwardly, while Madam Li looks very happy with her new call.

"We're going to buy clothes and jewelry for you to wear tomorrow at the emperor's birthday party."

"Mother had already told Hao'er last night to buy it, but the stupid kid said he forgot." Madam Li sounded annoyed.

"That emperor's year?" beo Shuwan, "Yes, tomorrow is the birthday of the emperor.The whole family of court dignitaries, officials of the capital and the region, as well as the extended family of nobles are always invited to the event."

"You have to come with us tomorrow!" said Ms. Li did not want to be denied.

"Madam, we've arrived." the coachman outside told me.

"Alright, let's go down." Madam Li took Shuwan by the hand and directly entered her subscription large clothing store.

"Welcome madam.There's something I can help you with?" a waiter approached Madam Li and Shuwan as soon as they entered the large store.

"Find me a good outfit for my daughter!" madam Li's orders without hesitation.

"Well, come with me." the waiter walked over to the stairs and walked towards the second floor of the building followed by Madam Li and Shuwan

The second floor is where the clothes with premium quality.

"This one looks perfect for you, Miss." the waiter showed Shuwan a bright red dress.

Just looking at the school alone had made Shuwan's eyes hurt. "I don't like the color." replied the girl bluntly.

"Well, I'll find it..." "Let me search for myself.You just accompany me!" cut Shuwan fast.

Shuwan sees some of the clothes in the shop, but nothing seems to interest him.

Shuwan continued to wander around the store, until his gaze was fixed on a pink hanfu combined with a soft light purple color forming a very beautiful gradation.

Simple but very beautiful.She who really likes soft colors immediately interested and took the dress.

"You like it?" madam Li asked gently.Shuwan nodded in response.

When she was about to pay for the dress, her eyes accidentally saw a light blue hanfu with folds underneath, the top of which showed a little bit of her shoulder.

Instantly his heart was in a dilemma.Where should he buy?Hanfu who was in her hands or who she had just seen?

Mistress Li who accidentally saw Shuwan's gaze fixed on the light blue hanfu just smiled

"If my daughter likes those two hanfu, then just buy them both.Li's residence won't fall poor just for buying those two hanfu."

"I can pay for it myself, mother." he said clumsily.He looks like he is taking advantage of the woman's affection, when taking the two hanfu.

"You're my daughter, don't hesitate."

After paying for the two hanfu, they walked out of the store.

"Mom's not buying clothes for tomorrow?" Shuwan was astonished that his adoptive mother had not bought anything for herself.

"I bought it with your dad last week.Let's go to the jewelry store!"

"No need, mom.I have some." - Shuwan declined subtly. "You were not given permission to refuse!" ms. Li did not want to be denied.Forced her to obey the wishes of her adoptive mother.

He chose a pair of earrings and a hairpick with a light blue decoration.

"Is there anything else you want to buy, Wan'er?"

"No mom, I'm done.Do you still want to shop?" Shuwan asked back.

"Let's go home!" the two of them walked towards the horse-drawn carriage, then returned with some groceries.

Shuwan feels very happy to get the attention and affection of mistress Li.

This was the first time she felt like she was going shopping with her mother, even if not her real cheese.

The death of her mother when she was a child, made her lose many happy moments with her mother.

She did not even feel the mother's affection in her infancy from children to adulthood.

Looking at the sad-looking Shuwan, Lady Li immediately asked, "What's Wan'er?You're not happy to go with mom?"

"Not so.Not so mother.Today I was very happy.It has been a very long time, I did not feel the affection of the mother, since she me.." Clear details appear out of Shuwan's sharp eyes.

The girl could not continue her words. Madam Li who saw that immediately hugged her foster daughter warmly.

"Now there is a mother, son.I will shower you with affection and love.Don't grieve anymore" said Ms. Li gently as she rubbed the girl's back.

*****

Next day

Two luxurious-looking chariots, though not as luxurious as those of the imperial family, had been waiting in front of Li's residence.

It was seen that big master Li and Li Jingmi and his parents had entered into a carriage that could accommodate six adults.

Mr. Li and Mrs Li Minghao and Shuwan entered the other carriage.

Li Minghao's gaze was fixated on the one object that was right in front of him.

A very pretty girl with a light blue fu, with matching colored hairpicks adorning her head.

"Mother, why rush to make Shuwan your daughter?I wanted to marry her so badly, Mom was so cruel!" Li Minghao nodded to his mother.

"But I don't want to marry you.I'd better be mother's adopted daughter.Wlee!" the girl even mocked him.

"Now she's your sister.You still want to marry her?" the mother even glared at him.

Li Minghao had indeed been in love with the girl ever since he first saw her in the cave, as he was unconscious from his stupor due to the fight with the assailants

But the girl only considered him a friend.Material now he became his adopted sister.It was cruel and painful.

Adored and loved by many girls, but always cold and unresponsive.After he falls in love, the girl he loves does not respond to him.

The gods gave him his karma so quickly. That was Li Minghao's mind.

The sun was already on the western horizon when Li's carriage entered the gates of the imperial palace.

They were directly directed to the palace hall, where the event was held.
