Investing in Children’s Clothing Brands

The night was deep, and the traffic on the streets of Jiangcheng gradually thinned out.

After leaving the private kitchen restaurant, with the highly emotionally intelligent god-tier assist from the Wan Sisters, Su Bai very naturally took Lu Yuning's hand.

However, they didn't immediately return to the private club by the East Lake. Instead, driving the anime-decaled Panamera, they wound their way to the foot of a somewhat old bachelor apartment building.

This was where Lu Yuning used to rent.

With a click, the key turned the lock, and the slightly dim ceiling light flickered on.

The small bachelor apartment was spotlessly clean.

Since the lease hadn't completely ended, the room still retained some traces of Lu Yuning's past life. In the corner, there were even a few old mannequins and thick stacks of sketches she hadn't taken with her.

"Why did you suddenly want to come back here?" Su Bai casually closed the door, hung his coat in the entryway, and looked around the cozy but cramped space.

"There are a few out-of-print embroidery designs I drew before left here, and I never got around to picking them up. Besides..."

Lu Yuning changed into her slippers, turned around, and naturally wrapped her arms around Su Bai's waist. She pressed her cheek against his broad, warm chest, her voice revealing a heartwarming softness.

"Besides, I kind of missed this place. After all, this is where my destiny began to change after I met you."

Su Bai smiled faintly, naturally wrapping his arm around her slender waist, and led her to sit on the slightly worn fabric sofa in the living room.

Lu Yuning curled up in Su Bai's arms like an incredibly docile kitten.

She looked up, gazing at the familiar walls around her. Her eyes, which usually carried a hint of fatigue from years of drawing, were now filled with deep sweetness and sentiment.

"Looking back now, the experiences of the past half year really feel like an unreal dream."

Lu Yuning's slender fingers absentmindedly drew circles on Su Bai's chest as she murmured softly, "Back then, I had to go to work at that shabby studio every day. I really thought I would have to give up my dream of becoming a haute couture designer for the rest of my life."

"But then, you descended from the sky like a god."

Lu Yuning tilted her face up, her intellectual and gentle features filled with deep affection.

"Su Bai, thank you. You gave me a whole world."

Hearing this heartfelt confession and feeling the unreserved attachment of the beautiful woman in his arms, a soft ripple stirred in Su Bai's heart.

"It's also because you're inherently talented, Ningning." Su Bai lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Your designs deserve the best of everything in this world."

The two shared a quiet, tender moment on the sofa.

Suddenly, as if recalling something extremely interesting, Lu Yuning sat up straight from Su Bai's embrace, a shy yet clever smile appearing on her face.

"Oh, right, Boss. Close your eyes and wait a moment. I have something to show you."

Lu Yuning blinked mysteriously, then got up and ran into the bedroom.

Not long after, she walked out holding an exquisitely crafted dark green velvet gift box and sat back down beside Su Bai.

"What's this? Did you design another new battle outfit for me?" Su Bai raised an eyebrow, looking at the box with curiosity. After all, the surprises the Wan Sisters had worn over the past few days were all creations similar to what came from boxes like this.

"It's not for you."

Lu Yuning rolled her eyes at him, though she was holding back a smile. "This is the new clothing I took the time to make for Shengsheng at the club a few days ago. Open it and take a look."

"For Shengsheng?"

Su Bai was even more confused. The previous special outfits were generally shared among everyone. Could there be some hidden mystery in the clothes Lu Yuning specifically made for Chen Yusheng?

He reached out, unfastened the metal clasp on the gift box, and lifted the lid.

However, when he saw clearly what was inside the box, Su Bai froze instantly.

Lying quietly in the box were not haute couture dresses for adult women at all, but several tiny, exquisitely detailed little outfits!

They were real baby clothes.

There was a miniature British-style suit for a boy, with even the bow tie made of top-tier silk; there was also a princess dress for a girl, the hem hand-embroidered with lifelike little flowers using incredibly fine gold thread, the fabric as soft as a cloud.

At the very bottom lay two pairs of palm-sized soft-soled baby shoes sewn from pure sheepskin!

"This..."

Su Bai stared at the box of miniature children's clothes, stunned for a full three seconds, before he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ningning, isn't your thought process a bit too far ahead? Why did you start making baby clothes?"

Su Bai reached out and picked up the little sheepskin shoes that were only three fingers wide, shaking his head in amusement. "Shengsheng and I only just put this matter on the agenda a few days ago. We haven't even made the first move yet, and you've already made the clothes for the full moon banquet?"

Faced with Su Bai's teasing, Lu Yuning wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she shook her head seriously, her gentle face revealing the solemnity and rigor of a professional designer.

"Boss, you don't understand. For this kind of thing, we should naturally prepare early!"

Lu Yuning carefully placed the box on the coffee table, turned around, and naturally wrapped her arms around Su Bai's neck, her tone carrying an unquestionable bossiness.

"Do you know that the maternal and infant products on the market right now are a total mixed bag! Even those luxury children's clothes that parade as international top brands, in their pursuit of bright colors and cuts, aren't necessarily comfortable to wear."

"Shengsheng is the first in our big family to prepare for a new life. As your child, how could they wear things of unknown origin with potential risks?"

At this point, Lu Yuning's eyes became incredibly bright, even carrying a hint of exclusive pride: "So I've made up my mind! From today on, whether it's Shengsheng's, or... or born to the other sisters. In short, from now on, all your children's clothes and kidswear, we will make them ourselves."

Hearing the bold words of this exclusive designer, a flash of surprise crossed Su Bai's eyes, which then melted into appreciation and a smile.

Ningning was starting to make her own decisions. Compared to the timid little designer from before who only knew how to agree, there was no doubt that she had grown a lot over the past half year.

Sure enough, if a person wants to grow, they must be trained with a lot of resources. If she were still doing her previous job, even if she followed Su Bai, there wouldn't have been any essential growth in her work.

"Makes sense."

Su Bai pinched Lu Yuning's fair and delicate cheek, suddenly struck by inspiration:

"Since that's the case, we might as well consider starting a children's clothing brand. Hmm, let's invest a hundred million first."

I was just worrying about not having any massive expenses lately to trigger the system's god-level cashback. This was clearly a perfect project for it. Never mind whether it would turn a profit; at the very least, the final product was something genuinely needed.
