You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Cecilia's thoughts were interrupted for a moment, and then she subconsciously looked in the direction that Shigure Kira was pointing, and saw a very lively pastry shop.

"Qiluo, no need for pastries. We bought too many last time, and everyone is already tired of them."

"Hmm...okay then."

Shigure Kira nodded, then pointed ahead and shouted, "The destination is just ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi helped Bella up and looked at the shopping mall not far away.

The shopping mall is five stories high, bustling with people coming and going.

Shiyu Qiluo took out her phone, scrolled through the notes, and murmured softly to herself.

"Toothpaste, toothbrush, shower gel, shampoo, cleaning tools, bedding..."

There are many things to buy, but most of them are small items that Shigure Kira can carry on her own.

At this moment, Bella barely suppressed the shyness in her heart, ignoring the sensation between her legs, and looked towards the shopping mall in the distance.

"Sir, what items do we need to buy?"

"The items that Qiluo needs to buy are similar, so you can buy them together with Qiluo."

Qiu Bi replied, then looked at Cecilia beside him, "Besides the items Qi Luo mentioned, is there anything else we need to buy?"

Cecilia hesitated for a few seconds, then replied, "There's nothing I particularly need for the time being. Even if I do come across something I really need, you can return to this store to buy it."

So I'm just a tool?

"Isn't that how you use a husband?"

Cecilia smiled and asked in return, then looked at a shop not far away and murmured to herself, "Qiu Bi, before buying daily necessities, shall we go and take a look at that shop first?"

"Jewelry store?"

Qiu Bi followed Cecilia's gaze and saw a jewelry store selling wedding rings, and next to it was a wedding dress store where wedding dresses could be rented or purchased.

In addition, there is a wedding planning company not far from the jewelry store and the bridal shop.

Although the foot traffic in jewelry stores and wedding dress shops is not high, customers still occasionally come in to make purchases.

After all, diamond rings and wedding dresses are not only for weddings, but also have other uses.

In contrast, wedding planning companies are rarely visited, to the point that passersby rarely go in.

"Cecilia, shall we begin preparing for the wedding now?"

"Yes, it's never a bad thing to prepare early; it can prevent the wedding from being postponed due to various issues."

"Then go and have a look."

Qiu Bi seemed to think Cecilia's words made a lot of sense, so he called out to Shigure Kira, who was deep in thought, "Kira, let's go to the mall later. Cecilia and I need to go to the jewelry store first."

"Jewelry store?"

Shigure Kira was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and immediately stopped in her tracks.

"Lady Cecilia, shall we begin preparations for the wedding now?"

"Since I saw it, I might as well go and take a look. It's never a bad thing to prepare for the wedding in advance."

Upon hearing this, Shigure Kira nodded as if she understood, and then walked towards the jewelry store first, her behavior showing even more excitement and anticipation than Cecilia's.

Cecilia smiled slightly, then pulled Qiu Bi towards the jewelry store.

Maria, holding Angelia's hand, followed silently behind the two.

Angelia had already reverted from her magical girl form and returned to her previous attire.

……

This was Shiyu Qiluo's first time stepping into a jewelry store. Although she wasn't buying the diamond ring herself, it was practically the same as buying it herself.

"Lady Cecilia, let's go pick out a diamond ring! I've only ever seen diamond rings in movies and TV shows since I was a child!"

Shiyu Kira excitedly urged Qiu Bi and Cecilia, as if she, not Qiu Bi and Cecilia, were the ones preparing to buy the diamond ring.

Seeing this, Cecilia chuckled and then released Qiu Bi's arm, browsing the dazzling array of diamond rings and jewelry in the display case with Shi Yu Qi Luo.

Qiu Bi didn't disturb the two women choosing diamond rings. Instead, he put his hands on Bella's slender waist and lifted her off his neck.

"Bella, you can ride later. Let's wait for Cecilia to choose her diamond ring first."

When we entered the jewelry store, Bella might have bumped into the door frame if she hadn't bent down and hugged Qiu Bi's head tightly. That was Qiu Bi's oversight.

However, when Qiu Bi lifted Bella down, he noticed that Bella's cheeks were flushed unnaturally.

"Bella, are you sick?"

Qiu Bi looked puzzled, then squatted down in front of Bella, pressed the back of his hand against Bella's forehead, and felt her body temperature.

Although Bella's body temperature was rather high, it didn't seem like she had a cold or fever.

"N-nothing... Sir, I'm not sick, I'm just a little uncomfortable with this kind of behavior..."

"So you were just shy."

Qiu Bi suddenly realized, then reached out and ruffled Bella's hair, smiling as he said, "There's nothing shameful about a child acting cute; there's no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed about it."

"...Yes, sir, I understand."

Chapter Sixty Ich liebe dich

Buying a wedding diamond ring is an extremely important matter that requires careful selection, and the process can never be rushed. When two women are choosing together, the selection process becomes even slower.

Qiu Bi led Bella and waited for nearly an hour before Cecilia and Shiyu Qiluo finally chose their wedding rings and deliberately requested that a line of text be engraved on the inner band of the rings.

——Ich liebe dich.

Qiu Bi and Bella were unaware of this; only Cecilia, Shigure Kira, Maria, and Angelia knew.

"Qiu Bi, let's go pick out a wedding dress!"

Cecilia smiled slightly, in a good mood. However, instead of holding Qiu Bi's arm or leading him, she pulled Maria and Angelia away from the jewelry store and headed towards the wedding dress shop next door.

As Shi Yu Qi Luo passed by Qiu Bi, she casually slipped the packaged diamond ring into his hand.

"This is the wedding ring that Lady Cecilia chose. You must hold it carefully and make sure you don't lose it."

Shi Yu Qi Luo knew the importance of the wedding ring, so she earnestly and seriously reminded Qiu Bi.

Qiu Bi was naturally aware of this matter, and while accepting the wedding ring, he nodded seriously.

Then, carrying the wedding ring in his left hand and holding Bella's hand in his right, he followed closely behind Cecilia and the others.

Compared to wedding dresses, choosing men's suits is undoubtedly much simpler, since it's just a simple white suit and doesn't require much selection.

In contrast, wedding dresses come in a wide variety of styles.

Strapless wedding dresses, short dresses, one-shoulder dresses, boat neck dresses, mermaid dresses, A-line dresses, ball gown dresses, deep V-neck dresses...

When Qiu Bi first learned about the different types of wedding dresses, she was surprised to find it difficult to distinguish between them.

Cecilia spent a long time choosing before finally settling on a one-shoulder ball gown wedding dress.

Although this wedding dress is pure white, blue roses are added to the chest and hair accessories, making it look less monotonous.

After discussing it carefully for a while, Cecilia decided to buy the wedding dress directly to avoid the trouble of returning it later.

Afterwards, Cecilia and the others went to a nearby wedding planning company to plan their wedding a week later.

As for Qiu Bi and Bella...

With his left hand carrying his and Cecilia's wedding dress and engagement ring, and his right hand holding Bella's hand, Qiu Bi followed closely behind Cecilia and the others with a sullen expression.

……

When Qiu Bi, Cecilia, and the others returned to the apartment, it was already evening.

"Daddy's so slow!"

Xilin had already woken up. When she saw Qiu Bi carrying large and small bags, she immediately stuck out her tongue, as if she was being coquettish or making a face.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Bi put down the items in his hands, then picked up Xilin and gently tickled her "weak spot," causing her to let out a melodious, silvery laugh.

In an instant, Celine's laughter echoed throughout the entire apartment.

"Daddy, Daddy... Celine knows, knows she was wrong! Stop tickling Celine!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi finally stopped.

The next second, the purple void flashed by, and Sirin instantly left Qiu Bi's arms and went into Cecilia's embrace.

"Mommy Cecilia, Daddy is bullying Sirin!"

"Mommy Cecilia will teach Daddy a lesson for you later!"

Cecilia smiled and hugged Sirin, then looked at Sofia and Alexandra and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Sofia and Alexandra shook their heads in unison, and then Sofia replied, "We're waiting for you to come back."

"Sorry, I also decided on the wedding arrangements for a week from now, so it took a little while."

Cecilia looked slightly apologetic, then countered, "Since you haven't eaten yet, why don't we go out to eat together?"

Sofia and Alexandra did not object and nodded in acceptance of Cecilia's proposal.

Then, Cecilia gently patted Sirin and said, "Little Sirin, go and call your sisters, we're going out for dinner soon."

"Let's go out to eat! Yay!"

Sirin waved her arms excitedly, then fell backward. As Cecilia was shocked, a purple hole quietly tore open, swallowing Sirin whole.

Cecilia stared blankly at the spot where Sirin had been standing, suddenly realizing that Sirin was actually a little girl with Herrscher powers.

"Cilin seems to have become much more mischievous than before."

Perhaps it was the greatly improved living environment, or perhaps it was the happy family life, but although Xilin was still the "little angel", she had already developed some of the liveliness and vigor of a young girl.

Upon hearing Sophia's words, Cecilia chuckled and then replied, "Cirin has become much more mischievous than before, which is not a bad thing. Given Sirin's personality and intelligence, she will surely manage her mischief and not cause trouble for others."

"By the way—Alexandra, where's Bronya?"

Bronya is still asleep, but she should be awake soon.

Young children often sleep a lot, but after waking up, they are very energetic and lively, which sometimes causes their parents to be overwhelmed and not get enough rest.
