Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

She silently put down the knife and fork in her hand, and pushed her stomach twice with her right hand, but when she let go, her stomach bounced back to its original position...

She thought with some annoyance, if it was winter, she could wear a coat to cover it up, but what should she do in the hot summer? !

"Ding Ding Ding-"

The crisp sound of a fork hitting a goblet was heard, and everyone fell silent, looking at Du Rixiao who was knocking on the goblet.

"Spring has hundreds of flowers, autumn has the moon, summer has cool breezes and winter has snow. If you have nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world."

"As a human being, don't let too many things get into your mind."

"Some time ago, I had some misunderstandings with a few gentlemen and ladies. It started because of a pair of chopsticks. Today, let's end it with this pair of golden chopsticks."

As he spoke, he picked up the golden chopsticks next to him and handed them to Henry sideways.

Henry took it expressionlessly and tapped the goblet twice with the golden chopsticks.

Then he said in English: "It is fate that brings us together today. I toast to you all!"

Everyone raised their glasses to gesture.

After drinking, Du Rixiao started talking again.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'It takes a thousand years to be able to ride the same boat together, and ten thousand years to be able to sleep on the same pillow together.' Let's not be so mysterious. Anyone who can sit here and eat with me today must have had a relationship with me for at least two hundred years."

"For this fate, I toast to everyone."

Everyone was busy pouring wine and raising their glasses. After all the hustle and bustle, Ai Shutong's belly bulged a little more.

She straightened her chest and raised her head, took a deep breath, and touched her belly with her hand. The bulge in her belly had shrunk a lot.

She smiled with satisfaction.

I thought, I’ll do this when I say goodbye to everyone later!

The meal lasted until three in the afternoon.

Du Rixiao saw them off to the car one by one, and said goodbye to them reluctantly.

"We are all friends, so we should find more time to get together."

"I heard that Miss Ai's clothing store is opening tomorrow. I will definitely bring my friends to support her. I wish Miss Ai a prosperous business in advance!"

Ai Shutong was flattered. "Boss Du is so polite. I wish your business will prosper!"

Shen Jiaxing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, bowed and said goodbye, "Boss Du, goodbye!"

Du Rixiao also bowed to him, "Professor Shen, please slow down and be careful on the road."

The car drove into the avenue and Ai Shutong collapsed in the back seat.

Huang Lanying next to him asked, "What's wrong?"

Ai Shutong: "Next time I go out to eat, I won't wear a cheongsam. If I eat a little more, my belly will bulge out."

"I was afraid of being seen, so I kept breathing in and out. It made me so tired!"

Huang Lanying laughed at her: "Who told you to eat so much? I've noticed you a long time ago. You eat more than those men!"

Ai Shutong: "How is it possible?!"

She raised her voice and asked Shen Jiaxing in front of her, "Teacher Shen, do I eat as much as you do?"

Shen Jiaxing replied: "I just drank alcohol and didn't eat much food."

Ai Shutong was speechless.

When the car passed the busy Nanjing Road, Ai Shutong stopped the car in front of the clothing store and said, "It will open tomorrow. I am worried, so I will go down to take a look."

Huang Lanying smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do when I go back. Can I go with you to take a look?"

Ai Shutong stared at her for a few seconds, and seeing that she looked smiling and talking, she nodded in agreement.

The two walked into the clothing store one after the other. Ai Shutong greeted Zheng Qiuying behind the counter, "Qiuying, you've worked hard!"

Zheng Qiuying stopped writing, looked up and smiled at her: "It's not hard, this is much more interesting than going to school!"

She slightly turned her head to look at Huang Lanying who was looking around behind Ai Shutong, and asked with her eyes: Who is this?

Ai Shutong gave her a look that indicated she would talk later, then turned and came to Huang Lanying.

"Ms. Huang, how about it, did you see anything you like?"

Huang Lanying smiled uncomfortably, "These dresses don't suit me very well. I always wear cheongsam."

Ai Shutong smiled and said, "We also have cheongsams here, all of which are high-end custom-made. I'll get you a brochure. Do you have a look to see if there's a style you like?"

Huang Lanying's eyes lit up, "Sure! Actually, I want to try a dress, but I've never worn one before and I'm afraid people I know will laugh at me!"

Ai Shutong had already labeled the three private rooms on the first floor with room numbers. She led Huang Lanying to the middle private room No. 102 and took out a booklet.

There are not only cheongsam styles, but also photos.

She pointed to a picture and introduced it to Huang Lanying: "I think this cheongsam is very suitable for you. Look at this cheongsam on the model."

Huang Lanying: "Oh my! Isn't this the actress Zhen Lili? It looks good, really good! I want this one!"

Ai Shutong quickly wrote it down with a pen, "Would you like to see what it looks like later? They all look great."

In this way, Huang Lanying ordered three cheongsams at once.

Ai Shutong called Xu Ma over and asked her to measure her size.

"Ms. Huang has a great figure. She must look beautiful in a dress. How about I pick two for you and you try them on?"

Huang Lanying smiled shyly, "I have never worn a dress."

Ai Shutong: "Everything has a first time, right? It's free to try!"

Huang Lanying nodded slightly twice.

Ai Shutong turned around and went to the hall to pick out clothes for her.

After choosing one, she gave it to the newcomer Hu Ying and said, "Hurry up and iron this dress."

Hu Ying took the clothes and went to Room 101.

Ai Shutong picked out two more pieces and took them to 101. "Have you ironed them?"

Hu Ying quickly said, "Okay, Manager."

Ai Shutong: "Iron these two pieces of clothing and send them to 102."

Hu Ying took the clothes and said, "Okay."

Ai Shutong returned to the private room with the clothes and said to Huang Lanying, who was drinking soda, with a smile, "Miss Huang, what do you think of this dress?"

Huang Lanying: "The opening at the neck is too big, is there a smaller one?"

Ai Shutong nodded, "There is a stand-up collar that can cover the neck."

"Our waiter will bring it over in a while."

Huang Lanying nodded and patted the long sofa, "Miss Ai, come and sit down, let's chat."

Ai Shutong raised her eyebrows, walked over and sat down on the sofa, and asked with a smile: "Miss Huang, what do you want to talk about?"

Huang Lanying: "I see you have a very good relationship with Shen Jiaxing."

Ai Shutong said generously: "Yes, I have a good relationship with Mary and Allen, and they have all helped me."

Huang Lanying pursed her lips, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Ai Shutong looked up and said to Xu Ma, "Xu Ma, can you go and see how the clothes Miss Huang wants to try on are ironed?"

Xu Ma: "Okay, Manager."

After Xu Ma went out, she considerately closed the door.

Huang Lanying then continued: "I'm not talking about the closeness between friends, but the kind of..."

Ai Shutong: "Lover? You mean the relationship between lovers?"

Seeing Huang Lanying nod, Ai Shutong laughed unkindly, "Haha, Miss Huang, your eyesight is not very good!"
