As soon as she opened the door, Cedrick saw her carrying bags of various sizes. These bags could easily stack up to a height
taller than an average person.
“D–Did you just rob a mall?”
Gwendolyn flashed an awkward grin.“You need to understand what a girl wants. Besides, there are discounts and buy–one–
free–one and buy–two–free–three deals everywhere in the mall. How can I resist? I bought them because they were quite
cheap.”
Cedrick froze for a moment before exposing her lie. “You’re not poor. Why would you care about those marketing gimmicks in the
mall?”
Gwendolyn refuted, “What nonsense is that? This has nothing to do with me being rich or poor. If I can get them at a lower price,
why should I buy them at full price? I’m a frugal spender, okay?”
Cedrick was impressed. “Gwenny, I like that you’re careful with your spending. I have no doubt you’ll make an excellent wife who
can take care of the family’s finances!”
Gwendolyn chuckled in amusement upon hearing that. “All right, enough with the sweet talk. Come and help me unpack these. I
bought lots of winter attire for you.”
He stared at all the exquisite shopping bags in disbelief. “Y–You bought all these for me?”
Gwendolyn arched her brows and casually fibbed, “Well, most of them were buy one, get one free, and there was a fifty–percent
off sale. I may have accidentally bought too many because I haven’t seen you wear this style much.” As she spoke, she picked a
light–gray sweater from the bag and passed it to him. “Here. Put this on and see if it fits.”
Cedrick frowned, refusing to accept the sweater from her. “I don’t wear this kind of sweater during winter, especially a turtleneck
one!”

“From now on, you have to because I’m with you. You have to keep yourself warm. You have a nice model–like body, so I’m sure
everything you wear will fit you like a glove.” She nudged his waist several times while holding the sweater. “Go and put it on.
This is my first time buying clothes for a man. How could you turn me down?”
Despite having a smile on her face, she was gritting her teeth when she uttered the last sentence with a hint of threat.
Cedrick sighed and accepted the sweater. He then remove his shirt and put on a knitted garment.
Not long after, Gwendolyn handed him another dark gray wool coat, and once again, Cedrick complied and put it on.
Then, Gwendolyn personally helped him wrap the new scarf she bought around his neck.
Without his usual formal attire, Cedrick now appeared less domineering. Like an artistic teenager, he had become more
approachable,
His face was remarkably exquisite, with features so handsome that they surpassed those of an ordinary young man.

Feeling satisfied, Gwendolyn pinched his checks affectionately. “You look dashing. Ceddy, you must dress like this from now on.
I’m tired of seeing you all suited up.”
Gedrick lowered his head, examining his appearance. Suddenly, a fearful idea crossed his mind, causing his heart to race.
“Gwenny, please don’t tell me you bought me a down coat.”
He would never wear those bulky clothes that would make him appear puffed up.

As his anxiety continued to escalate, Cedrick could not help but notice that Gwendolyn proceeded to unpack the remaining
shopping bags,
She retrieved two long down coats from the bags, which appeared as puffy as fermented buns. Both coats were black but had
different styles.
Gwendolyn said, “You indeed know me very well, Ceddy. Not only did I buy you some down coats, but I also bought some
autumn clothes, thick cotton pants, and thick cotton socks. Oh! There are also two black fox fur coats. They’re super warm and
perfect for the coldest snowy days.”
She kept talking without a pause. Cedrick felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face turned paler with each passing
moment.
Autumn clothes, down coats, and thick cotton pants were all his biggest nightmares. I will not wear them. Over/my dead body!
No way!
Yet, that was not the only thing he needed to tolerate.
Gwendolyn continued, “Come here, Ceddy. I bought these clothes in pairs. You have to put them on for me to take photos of
them!”
Once again, Cedrick was thunderstruck. Not only does she want me to wear them, but she also wants to take photos of me
wearing them. She might as well kill me!
His chest tightened with an oppressive weight. He fixed his gaze fiercely upon the mound of shopping bags and clenched his
teeth in frustration. “Are you testing my patience?”
Gwendolyn sat on the couch, crossed her legs, and folded her arms. With an elegant yet rebellious demeanor, she tapped her
arm and gazed into his eyes. “Yes, I am. Are you going to put them on or not?”
Cedrick stared at her with his cold, dark eyes.
A minute later, Cedrick gave up. “Yes, of course. I’ll wear them. When I’m with you, there are no boundaries or limits that can
hold me back.” He smiled and added softly, “It’ll be my pleasure to wear them since you bought them for me.”
Gwendolyn burst into laughter and stood up, giving him a playful peck on the lips. She then took his hand and led him back to
the bedroom, carrying all the new winter clothes with them.

After turning on the heater in the room, she sat on the edge of the bed with her camera, enjoying Cedrick’s performance of
undressing and putting on the new clothes. With each movement he made, she captured his moments of awkwardness and
chilly demeanor.
To Cedrick, the entire process was torturous, but Gwendolyn enjoyed every moment of it.
She shamelessly indulged in admiring his handsome face and perfect physique, occasionally transforming into a mischievous
temptress, playfully pinching his abs and teasing him without reservation.

The torture lasted for nearly half an hour, and it finally came to an end when Cedrick was done putting on all the clothes.
Gwendolyn sat leisurely in the middle of the bed, cross–legged, flipping through the camera, engrossed in admiring the private
photos she had just taken. She looked particularly focused, and a subtle delight shimmered in her eyes.
Cedrick rested his chin on her shoulder and embraced her from the back, looking exhausted. “Gwenny, I’ve worn the down coat
and the cotton pants. Considering how hard I’ve worked, could you give me a little reward tonight?”
His voice lacked strength, soft and pitiful as if he was seeking sympathy from her.
After setting aside the camera, Gwendolyn turned around, grabbed his shoulder, and pulled him into her embrace, allowing him
to lean in with his head resting on her shoulder.
Cedrick gently tugged at the silky fabric of her blouse, a silent plea for understanding and comfort.
In a gentle voice, Gwendolyn asked, “What kind of reward do you want?”

His face brightened, but before he could speak, Gwendolyn added, “I can give you anything except for moving in and sleeping
together.”
Cedrick’s expression turned desolate. “You knew that’s exactly what I wanted...”
Gwendolyn caressed his face and kissed his eyes. “Be good.”
He snorted softly, sulking in silence.
This time, Gwendolyn did not console him like she usually did.
Instead, she concealed her concern and said earnestly. “I may be a bit busy with work at Angle lately. I may not be able to video
call you during lunch to supervise your medication, and I may come home later than usual. Maybe...”
Cedrick looked up and gazed into her eyes. “Maybe what?”
“Nothing.” She smiled. “It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed, shall we?”
Cedrick held onto her tiny waist, refusing to let go. He frowned aggrievedly. “How can I sleep when you haven’t fulfilled the
reward you promised me!”
“What do you want?”
He thought earnestly, concealing the mischievous sparkle in his dark eyes as he gently nuzzled her neck. “Changing clothes is
truly tiring. See, I’m all sweaty now. How about you lend me a hand with a relaxing bath?”
