A Long-Awaited Marriage - Chapter 9
“Oh, you’re having spicy hot pot again? Are you sure? Who was it that got so spicy last time that they were crying and sniffling, got two pimples on their face, and wailed for a week?”
Lu Anran pursed her lips and looked at Ding Shuyao with a smile.
Some people just never learn!
Ding Shuyao pouted, “Yeah! I get pimples whenever I eat spicy food, but I still crave it~ Oh my god! Why are you doing this to me! Why are you being so unfair to me!”
Ding Shuyao was furious. How could her pretty face get pimples?
“Ranran, then tell me, what do you want to eat?” Ding Shuyao pouted and turned to look at Lu Anran.
That reluctant little expression made Lu Anran burst into laughter.
“If you want hot pot, we can make it at home! Just add two or three small red chilies, enough to make it spicy. If you get pimples after eating spicy food, it’s probably because the broth in the hot pot isn’t clean.”
Lu Anran pinched her chin and said in a serious tone.
“It doesn’t taste the same when I eat it at home~” Ding Shuyao muttered, still harboring some wicked intentions, thinking she could just whine for another week.
Lu Anran saw through her little scheme, and playfully poked her forehead, “You~”
Ding Shuyao knew that Lu Anran had agreed, and happily leaned on Lu Anran’s shoulder, “Ranran, I knew you were the best to me! God is so good to me, giving me such a good friend like you!”
“When I get my salary, I’ll treat you to a big meal! Order whatever you want!” Ding Shuyao waved her hand arrogantly.
“Haha, my Yao Yao is so generous! I’m just waiting!”
Lu Anran happily echoed, her eyes curving into beautiful crescent shapes, her lips red and teeth white, her skin as smooth as jade.
Two freshwater pearl earrings added a touch of elegance to her look.
Like a beauty in a painting, every frown and smile captivates the heart.
Ding Shuyao felt inexplicably saddened. Compared to her best friend’s gentleness, her beauty was insignificant.
“Ranran, you are absolutely stunning. I’m even a little jealous!”
Lu Anran playfully pinched her little nose, “You, you’re so beautiful without even realizing it. Yao Yao, you’re great, there’s no need to envy or be jealous of others.”
“I love your easygoing, straightforward, and decisive personality.”
“By the way, when do I report to the new company?”
How could Lu Anran not understand a girl’s little thoughts? She knew Ding Shuyao’s personality; she was just acting on impulse.
“HR has already emailed me, and I can officially start work next Monday. I need to hurry up and prepare my onboarding documents. I’m going to that spicy hot pot place on Lishang Road tonight!”
Lu Anran smiled and nodded, “Okay, then I won’t bother you anymore. Once you’re done with your work, we’ll go eat hot pot.”
Ding Shuyao dashed into her room. She started editing photos, uploading certificates, and writing documents.
Good heavens, we actually have to write an onboarding statement! What kind of freakish boss came up with this terrible idea? Why didn’t they ask about it during the interview?
After writing her onboarding statement, Ding Shuyao rushed to the nearest hospital to complete her pre-employment medical examination.
It’s only the beginning of summer, and the weather is already unbearably hot. Ding Shuyao has been running back and forth between several departments and is already drenched in sweat.
After finishing her physical examination, she dragged her tired and somewhat sleepy body, clutching a stack of medical reports in her hand. Before she even stepped into Ranran Flower Shop, she heard a childish voice, “Mommy, let’s have dinner together tonight?”
Mother?
Who’s calling for Mom?
Whom are you calling “Mom”?
Three big question marks appeared on Ding Shuyao’s forehead. She quickly stepped back, looked up at the shop sign, and saw that it clearly read “Ranran Flower Shop”.
That’s strange! I didn’t go to the wrong place!
No way, how could she possibly go to her best friend’s flower shop by mistake? She could find Ranran’s flower shop even with her eyes closed!
She hurried inside and immediately saw Lu Anran standing miserably behind the bar, with a little boy of about five years old standing next to her.
The little boy was wearing a stylish hoodie and had a small backpack slung over his shoulder.
She was staring at Lu Anran with an expectant look on her face, while one hand was tugging at Lu Anran’s sleeve.
Lu Anran was both amused and exasperated. This child came to find her as soon as school was over! Was he serious?
You really want her to be his mother? Are you kidding me?
Lu Anran was truly on the verge of tears. How come this bizarre situation still wasn’t over?
How could the child’s father let him come here alone with his child to see a strange woman?
You’re so carefree!
Lu Anran looked at Su Zheyan and inwardly cried out: Oh no, she seems to have gotten herself into big trouble!
Of all the shops on Jinbo Road, why did he choose her flower shop?
God really loves to play jokes and tease people.
