Chapter 19 Teasing
Inside the room.
Xiang Lianyi couldn't suppress her excitement and ran over to Xi Mufeng "Thank you for that," she said as she took Xi Mufeng's hand in hers and sat down next to him.
Xi Mufeng gave her a small glance and didn't say anything, but the redness of his ears betrayed his feelings in that moment.
The important matter that had been haunting her was settled by Xi Mufeng, and Xiang Lianyi felt her heart was on fire.
She stared at Xi Mufeng lovingly and said, "Xi Mufeng, I'm so glad you're here with me!"
"Ahem, you're a girl, you should, you should watch what you say..." Xi Mufeng didn't know how to feel about Xiang Lianyi, only that her words made his face burn.
"Oh, what's wrong with what I'm saying? You don't like to hear it?" Xiang Lianyi asked, moving around Xi Mufeng to face him and staring into his eyes.
Xi Mufeng had never been treated like this in all his years alive. His face flushed red like an innocent girl that was being teased. "Well, ahem, I like it!" He didn't dare look at Xiang Lianyi, his eyes darting left and right, but he admitted what he was thinking.
"Like it? Like what?" Xiang Lianyi pressed. She looked like she wasn't going to stop until she teased him to the point of tears.
Just when Xi Mufeng felt like he was about to catch on fire, Liang Han pushed in the door and promptly rescued him.
"It's done, I mean... Um, you guys go on, go on, just pretend I'm not here," Liang Han said with a smirk when he saw the slightly-compromising position of the two in the room.
"Hey, don't go. We don't have anything else to talk about." Xi Mufeng stood up suddenly and called out to Liang Han.
Xiang Lianyi smiled at the situation, "Yeah, we're done talking. I should go back now. Thank you for today. I'll treat you some other day. " She said with a smile, looking at Xi Mufeng with a long gaze that held different meanings.
"Oh wow, then I guess I'll be getting a free lunch out of this. I didn't really do anything, you know, it's all this guy..." Before Liang Han could finish, Xi Mufeng gave him a hard look that made Liang Han swallow the rest of his sentence.
"Hey, do you want to walk me out?" Xiang Lianyi looked at Xi Mufeng with amusement and said.
"Yeah, let's go." Xi Mufeng said coolly, leaving Liang Han alone in the private room.
By the main entrance.
"You can stop here, I can go back on my own," Xiang Lianyi said, "Xi Mufeng..." Only after a long while did she summon up the courage to stand up on her tiptoe and left a soft kiss on his cheek. She whispered in his ear, "Thank you!" Then turned around and quickly ran away.
That left Xi Mufeng standing on the spot like a statue for a long time. After a while, he grinned, touching the place where he had just been kissed, his ears slowly turning red.
If anyone sees him now, they will definitely feel surprised. This is man, who was smiling like a love-struck fool, really the same person as the cold and collected Xi Mufeng?
After returning home, Xiang Lianyi was in a good mood. Not only did she resolve a matter that had been troubling her, she also did something she had always wanted to but never had the courage to do. She kissed Xi Mufeng!
Even though it was only a kiss on the cheek, it still made her heart feel like a little deer that were pounding in her chest and jumping around.
She saw Qin Zhu busy in the kitchen and couldn't wait to run to her and whispered in her ear.
"What? Really? Are you sure this time? Is such an opportunity real? Oh, girl, I hope you're not scammed again!" Qin Zhu said in surprise.
"Mom, keep your voice down. It's real this time, it definitely is. Madam Xi introduced me to them." Xiang Lianyi didn't dare to say that Xi Mfeng had introduced her. First of all, she didn't want her mother to interrogate her about their relationship. Secondly, because Xi Mufeng didn't have the same authority in Qin Zhu's eyes as Madam Xi.
As soon as she heard that it was Madam Xi who introduced her, Qin Zhu folding her hands together and chanted, "Oh my God, Madam Xi is really a good person. May the Bodhisattva bless her. Our family can be saved. I have to hurry to tell your father the good news. Honey..." Qin Zhu was so excited that she couldn't wait to go find Xiang Guoping to report the good news as she chanted gratefully to herself.
Xiang Lianyi leaned against the kitchen door and smiled at her.
This time, they did not stay at home and entrust everything to the manufacturer. They would go to the factory every day. The deadline was getting closer and closer, and both Qin Zhu and Xiang Lianyi were getting anxious.
There was really no way not to make them anxious. This was a business that concerned the livelihood of the whole family. Something had already gone wrong once before, so this time it was really necessary to ensure that nothing goes wrong!
A few days later.
Qin Zhu and Xiang Lianyi got a hundred finished sets of uniforms, and only then did they really let out a breath. Qin Zhu's eyes moistened and said, "Lianyi, it is really done!"
"Yeah, Mom, it's finally done!"
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and both of them were excited.
Xiang Lianyi handed over the clothes to Xu Qing on the promised date, and the quality was not bad at all, which made Xu Qing impressed. "I heard you had some trouble a while back?" She looked at the little girl in front of her and smiled.
"Just a little bit." Xiang Lianyi aid without a bit of hesitation.
"I didn't think that you could still deliver on the agreed-upon date. I had thought that you might come to me to extend the delivery time, but you never came. I didn't expect you to come and deliver the clothes as promised."
"Auntie Xu, thank you for your concern. I also thought I would have to come back to you for help, but perhaps God didn't want me to come. This matter still worked itself out and I'm especially happy to be able to deliver to you as we agreed." Xiang Lianyi hadn't forgotten Xi Mufeng's careful instructions about how his mother cannot find out that he had helped her.
