It was ten minutes later when Lu Yujing finished cleaning the stains off her clothes and got dressed.

Just a second before Lu Yujing turned around, Jian Qingyi pretended to lower her head and read a book.

“Yi Yi…”

"Political Commissar Lu, we're really not a good match, and I'm still in school, so I don't want to be distracted," Jian Qingyi reiterated her stance.

Rather than marrying into a wealthy family, she would rather be the wealthy family herself.

“I can wait, until you’re willing.” The girl’s attitude was exactly what Lu Yujing had expected.

Jian Qingyi didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to feel burdened. Waiting for you is my own choice."

Jian Qingyi was even more speechless.

It wasn't her who made him wait, so why should she feel burdened?!

"Political Commissar Lu, I never even thought about anything happening between us..." Jian Qingyi really wanted to crack open his brain to see what kind of love-struck brain was inside.

She already said they weren't a good match, but he's still stubbornly insisting.

"I have to go now. Remember to close the door behind you when you leave." Jian Qingyi got up and walked out.

If he keeps delaying like this, will she still be able to deliver the goods?

“I’m free today, I’ll give you a ride…” Lu Yujing immediately followed.

"You're not allowed to follow me." Jian Qingyi turned her head and glared at him.

I've completely stopped pretending.

"When are you coming back?" Lu Yujing asked.

"Is this any of your business?" Jian Qingyi said, then turned and left.

Having a scumbag father at home is already troublesome enough, but he still wants to be her living father.

"Then be careful, and remember to call me if anything happens," Lu Yujing said with concern.

His response was Jian Qingyi's retreating figure, as if she were fleeing.

Once outside the military district gate and making sure no one was following her, Jian Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After delivering the goods to both sides, and seeing that it was still early, Jian Qingyi strolled around the streets where the clothes were sold.

I want to check out the latest fashion trends.

To make money in the clothing industry, you have to keep up with the times.

After walking around in circles, she gained a basic understanding of the latest fashion trends.

We've gone out, so we can't go back empty-handed!

She bought a set of clothes for Jian Zhongkang, Wang Xiujuan, and her scumbag father.

Wang Xiujuan wore a maroon woolen coat, while Jian Zhongkang and his scumbag father each wore a black and a gray woolen coat.

The two brothers are about the same size, and Jian Qingyi found it convenient to simply get one style in two colors.

Jian Qingyi originally planned to go to Guangzhou to buy clothes, but while strolling around, she saw this style of clothing and bought it without hesitation.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

It was lunchtime, and there were long lines at the cafeteria's food windows.

The four of them attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered.

Yesterday, Luo Zhenzhu was quite composed, but after being coaxed by Jian Qingyi and Jian Liqiu last night, she blushed inexplicably when she saw Jian Yiwei.

Seeing her like this, Jian Qingyi suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Jian Yiwei about this yet!

While Luo Zhenzhu and Jian Liqiu were queuing for food, Jian Qingyi gave Jian Yiwei a wink.

The two went to a relatively quiet corner one after the other.

Luo Zhenzhu, who was in the queue, seemed to have guessed something, and her face turned even redder.

"Big brother, what do you think of Sister Pearl?" Jian Qingyi asked directly.

"It's fine! What's wrong?" Jian Yiwei didn't know why Jian Qingyi suddenly asked this, but he still answered truthfully.

Knowing that Jian Yiwei hadn't understood her meaning, Jian Qingyi said directly, "I mean, what do you think about her being my and my second sister's sister-in-law?"

Jian Yiwei was surprised that Jian Qingyi brought this up, and a slight unease appeared on his face.

"Big brother, is it okay or not? Give me a straight answer!" Seeing his hesitation, Jian Qingyi nudged him with her elbow.

"I hadn't thought about it." Jian Yiwei felt his face burning.

"Big brother, you don't already have a girl you like, do you?"

“No!” Jian Yiwei answered with unusual firmness.

“Big brother, I talked to Sister Pearl last night…” Jian Qingyi observed his reaction.

Seeing that he didn't show any aversion, she continued, "I think Sister Pearl seems to be a little interested as well, but when a boy and a girl are together, the boy has to take the initiative. You can't expect a girl to take the initiative, can you?"

"Brother, if you're interested too, then work hard and try to get your uncle and aunt to hold their big, fat grandson next year."

"You're so clever for your age! Now I know why you're not growing taller—it's all gone into your cunning." Jian Yiwei reached out and ruffled Jian Qingyi's hair.

"Big brother..."

"Okay!" Jian Yiwei's ears turned red instantly.

"What do you know?" Jian Qingyi teased him deliberately.

"I know you're cunning." Jian Yiwei glared at her and turned to get food for Jian Liqiu and Luo Zhenzhu.

Perhaps because they had opened up about their relationship, the two people in the queue would occasionally make eye contact, and an ambiguous, sour smell would waft out.

Knowing that they were mutually attracted, Jian Qingyi and Jian Liqiu tactfully took their lunchboxes and left.

The groceries Jian Qingyi bought yesterday are still sitting on the island. Originally, the plan was for the four of them to have a nice get-together, but now it seems the two sisters will have to enjoy them.

No sooner had the two set out the food than someone arrived uninvited.

“Yi Yi…”

"Political Commissar Lu, we only have enough food for two people here." Jian Qingyi gestured towards the small dining table in front of her.

On the dinner table, besides the braised food and cold dishes that Jian Qingyi bought yesterday, there were only two steamed buns.

"Yiyi, I brought my own food, and I also brought your favorite roasted lamb leg and braised sea cucumber." Lu Yujing magically produced two large insulated containers from behind her back.

Before Jian Qingyi could say anything more, he quickly unscrewed the thermos.

The aroma of roasted lamb leg instantly filled the small room.

The compartments were laid out one by one.

The already small dining table was quickly filled to the brim with the shelves of the insulated food containers.

Golden and crispy roasted lamb leg, sizzling with oil; fragrant braised sea cucumber; flavorful mushroom soup; vibrant green stir-fried phoenix tail...

Faced with delicious food, Jian Qingyi swallowed hard, completely losing her composure.

"Yiyi, have some soup to line your stomach first." Lu Yujing carefully ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Jian Qingyi.

"Political Commissar Lu, do you know what it means to throw a meat bun at a dog?" Jian Qingyi couldn't help but pick up the mushroom soup.

He dared to tempt her with delicious food; she would teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget.

There is no return!

"Try it first," Lu Yujing chuckled.

Jian Qingyi didn't stand on ceremony anymore.

One bite, and the delicious flavor immediately won over her taste buds.

"Wild fungi?"

"Mm!" Lu Yujing nodded with a smile.

"You have to like it..."

"I don't like it!" she said, but her chopsticks never stopped.

"Second sister, you eat too." While shoveling food into her own mouth, Jian Qingyi didn't forget to put some into Jian Liqiu's bowl.
