Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 904: Chapter 904: Protector of the Flower

"Sister, what did he say to you?" Xiao Rou leaned in, blinking at Sun Qing with a curious and gossiping expression that made Sun Qing’s face even redder.

"Sister, your face is so red."

Xiao Rou’s words made Sun Qing, who was pretending that nothing had happened, glare at her. She cleared her throat and explained, "Didn’t he pay for lunch today and refused to take money? So I gave him a piece of clothing."

"Oh~" Xiao Rou elongated her tone.

"Really, I think it’s his sister’s son." Sun Qing added.

"Then he only has a sister and no brothers, Sister, that’s good. If you marry him, you won’t have to worry about sister-in-law issues."

Xiao Rou said while sorting through clothes.

"Xiao Rou!"

Sun Qing called her by her full name, insisting, "Xiao Rou, I don’t have any plans to get married."

"Sister, you can date first and get married in a couple of years." Xiao Rou said expectantly. The people around Tang Yue all had good impressions, and Zhao Xiangqian is with Si Yu, who is so devoted to his wife. His staff and brothers surely learn a thing or two, right?

Zhao Xiangqian works for Tang Yue’s husband, so he must have reliable character.

Also, when Zhao Xiangqian looks at Sister, his eyes are shining.

Xiao Rou would love for Sister and Zhao Xiangqian to be together. As long as Sister is happy, Xiao Rou will be delighted. She doesn’t want Sun Qing to miss such a good match because of her.

"Pa."

Sun Qing lightly tapped Xiao Rou, saying, "Xiao Rou, when did you become so gossip-prone."

"You’re my sister, can I not care?" Xiao Rou rubbed her tapped forehead, looking innocent and aggrieved. She was naturally good-looking, and even when aggrieved, she appeared pitiful, which softened Sun Qing’s heart. "Xiao Rou, you’re not that young anymore; when will you find a match?"

Sun Qing changed the topic, causing Xiao Rou to immediately fall silent. She quickly said, "Sister, we sold so many clothes today, I don’t even remember how much we took in. Should we do the accounts?"

"Alright."

Sun Qing stopped saying more as the hired staff already went home, leaving the two sisters. They were both excited to do the accounts.

"Sister, we... we can really repay the debt!" Xiao Rou’s eyes were red with excitement. She had poor health and spent a lot of money on it since childhood. Xiao Rou wanted to help more with the family’s work and earn more, but her health didn’t cooperate.

Now, choosing to open a clothing store, Xiao Rou made a big decision. Now that the store is open, on the first day, the net profit is US$ 500, giving her a feeling of seeing the dawn.

Many acquaintances came to support the opening today, so having more people is normal. In the future, they likely won’t make this much daily, but as long as they earn money, she believes they can gradually repay the debt.

"Isn’t it."

Sun Qing was equally excited. She always knew Mingyue Clothing was profitable; thinking Little Angel Children’s Clothing would be too. However, she never imagined a daily profit of US$ 500.

"Sister, let’s hurry home." Xiao Rou looked outside, pitch black, feeling uneasy about the money.

"Alright."

Sun Qing felt the same, stood up to organize the last clothes, then prepared to go home.

Xiao Rou put the money into the denim bag, handed it to Sun Qing, and said, "Sister, you take care of it."

"Xiao Rou, don’t open the store in the evenings anymore. The weather will get colder, and fewer people will buy clothes." Sun Qing reminded her, noticing the obvious decline in customers since afternoon, almost no one compared to the busy daytime.

"I know, Sister. When you pass by on your way back, we can go home together every day." Xiao Rou held Sun Qing’s hand, smiling brightly.

Sun Qing had just closed the door when she saw Zhao Xiangqian standing nearby.

Zhao Xiangqian wore a military green camouflage suit and came out from under a tree, startling Sun Qing. Had it not been for the color reminding her of Zhao Xiangqian, she might have been scared.

"You, why haven’t you returned to the company yet?" Sun Qing felt her heart skip a beat. With just her and Xiao Rou today, especially since it was the opening, and they had so much money in the denim bag, Sun Qing was naturally worried.

"Of course, I stayed to be your guardian angel." Zhao Xiangqian grinned, always sweet-talking. He said, "Let’s go; I’ll escort you home."

Xiao Rou glanced at Sun Qing, seeing no objection, she said, "Then thank you, Brother Zhao."

On the way, Zhao Xiangqian didn’t talk much, not making anyone uncomfortable. His tall figure gave them a sense of stability.

"You sisters should pay more attention to safety on the way home. It’s best not to leave money in the store and take the main road." Zhao Xiangqian walked them to the door, patiently advising them, feeling the need to say this despite their relationship.

"Thank you." Sun Qing accepted Zhao Xiangqian’s kindness. Xiao Rou sneaked inside, leaving her and Zhao Xiangqian at the door. She said, "Be careful on your way back to the company too."

As soon as she finished, Sun Qing turned and went inside, closing the door and felt as if she could hear her heart pounding.

She didn’t dare to look at Zhao Xiangqian just now.

"Remember to lock the door." Zhao Xiangqian said across the door with a grin, waited a moment, listened as she locked the door, went inside, then turned and left.

"Sister, Brother Zhao is really nice." Xiao Rou couldn’t help but say.

Sun Qing glanced at her.

"Fine, I won’t mention it." Xiao Rou covered her mouth as if she wouldn’t say anything, but her rolling eyes made Sun Qing speechless.

Zhao Xiangqian is indeed a good match, but she knows nothing about him, yet Xiao Rou is so eager for her to be with him. Does she think Sun Qing is undateable?

"Si Yu, is Zhao Xiangqian really planning to pursue Sun Qing?" Tang Yue asked, lying on the bed, watching Meng Siyu holding Chenchen, coaxing him to sleep. His tall figure made Chenchen seem tiny, even with the baby blanket, forming a stark contrast.

What’s more, Chenchen’s little pink blanket added to the huge contrast, yet warmed her heart.

When Meng Siyu is home, Tang Yue can basically enjoy herself.

Tang Yue wants to coax the child, but Meng Siyu won’t let her, telling her to lie on the bed, and just feed the baby.

"Yes." Meng Siyu nodded, his gaze moving from his daughter’s serene sleeping face to Tang Yue’s face. He softly spoke, "Qianzi talked to me; he truly wants to marry Sun Qing."

"Even though Qianzi’s military rank is not high now, it will definitely rise later, allowing Sun Qing to settle in Jing City. This way, they can often reunite."
