Chapter 930: Chapter 930: Going Home for a Blind Date
"Okay." Sun Rou automatically took the lamb leg and went to heat it up.
"Sister, you watch the store, I’ll go heat it and make lunch as well." Sun Rou said, not giving Sun Qing any chance to refuse, and walked out, constantly winking at Sun Qing before she left.
Sun Qing watched her walk farther away helplessly. It was almost noon, and the girl who came to sell clothes had gone home for lunch, leaving only her and Zhao Xiangqian in the store. Sun Qing felt a bit uneasy, her gaze fell on Zhao Xiangqian, and she asked, "Don’t you have to be at the company today? How do you have time?"
"We just finished a big order, so we have two days off." Zhao Xiangqian cheerfully asked, "Do you need help moving the goods? I can help."
Zhao Xiangqian offered eagerly, satisfied just to show his face and make a good impression on Sun Qing.
"I see." Sun Qing responded, organizing clothes with her head down, feeling extremely awkward.
She rarely spent time alone with a man, and even in a busy store, she felt uneasy, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Zhao Xiangqian thickened his skin and said, "Sun Qing, the clothes you picked for me last time looked great. My sister really liked them. It’s getting cold, and I want to buy a cotton-padded jacket for my little nephew. Which one do you think is good?"
"A cotton-padded jacket?" When Sun Qing talked about selling clothes, she was an expert. After asking Zhao Xiangqian how old his sister’s child was, knowing it was a boy, she chose a durable color with good quality. She explained, "This jacket is a bit long; he can wear it this year and even next autumn."
"And this color is also dirt-resistant; even if it gets a bit dirty, it won’t look messy. He can wear it for three to five days without needing a wash."
Sun Qing introduced with a smile, her voice gentle and unhurried, making Zhao Xiangqian increasingly fond of her. He said, "Alright, I’ll take this one."
Zhao Xiangqian paid directly, and after buying the clothes, he shared amusing stories about his little nephew, making Sun Qing laugh continuously.
When Sun Rou returned with the heated lamb leg and cooked meal, she witnessed this delightful scene. She secretly observed Zhao Xiangqian, thinking his looks weren’t bad, he could make her sister happy, and he was also a subordinate of Tang Yue’s husband. Tang Yue’s husband was such a good man, surely his subordinates would learn a thing or two about taking care of their wives, right?
Thinking this, Sun Rou felt more strongly that matching Zhao Xiangqian with her sister was a good idea.
"Time to eat." Sun Rou deliberately brought three sets of bowls and chopsticks. The dishes she made were simple, with the roast lamb leg cut into thin slices and served with a special dipping sauce. This lamb dish had a distinct flavor compared to the freshly roasted lamb from yesterday.
Sun Qing, seeing that there was a portion prepared for Zhao Xiangqian, raised her eyebrows but didn’t say much.
After lunch, Sun Rou said, "Sister, the goods will arrive this afternoon. Let Brother Zhao help with it."
"Brother Zhao, can I ask you for help?" Sun Rou’s voice was crisp.
Zhao Xiangqian readily agreed and said proactively, "I just need to send this package to my sister."
Zhao Xiangqian, holding the packed clothes, was about to leave. Seeing Sun Qing still standing there, he said, "Sun Qing, if you don’t leave now, it’ll be dark soon."
Sun Qing silently looked up at the sky, seeing it was just past noon, and there was plenty of time before dark.
Nevertheless, Sun Qing followed along silently. Every time, they hired someone to move the goods. Today, letting Zhao Xiangqian do it felt a bit inconvenient.
But Zhao Xiangqian was naturally familiar, eager to make Sun Qing happy, and moved the goods gladly.
At the company.
Si Yu, after organizing the contracts, granted Li Wei and Yan Dong a vacation.
"Brother Meng, why half a month’s vacation?" Li Wei, seeing such a long break, couldn’t help but swallow. It was too much.
Yan Dong also looked at Si Yu with a face full of doubt.
"You guys should go home for some matchmaking. Just in time, there’s half a month before the New Year. Make sure to bring a wife back." Si Yu’s words made Li Wei and Yan Dong secretly want to curse!
But they didn’t dare curse Brother Meng. At most, they complained in their hearts. Even in a fight, they would be the weaker side.
"You two are already 28 or 29, aren’t you planning to get married?" Si Yu raised an eyebrow. Li Wei and Yan Dong, with countless words, couldn’t even utter a word under Si Yu’s gaze.
As their boss and partner, Si Yu worried about their personal issues. Li Wei and Yan Dong thought long and hard, realizing that besides the three of them, everyone else was married.
No, only the two of them were left.
Zhao Xiangqian was actively chasing after his future wife.
Li Wei and Yan Dong exchanged glances and thought about going home for matchmaking this time, feeling inexplicably... disheartened. They’ve been wanting to find someone all along. Every time they go home, they try matchmaking, but the girls are always so picky – picky about them not being able to come home often, picky about their appearance, or thinking their families are poor.
In short, after dragging on and on, it just got delayed.
Could it be that they really have to just bring a random wife back this time?
Li Wei and Yan Dong murmured in their hearts, not daring to say more.
Si Yu also got two days off and immediately took a flight to Sea City.
He would arrive in Sea City tonight, able to spend a day with Xiao Yue there.
Si Yu, full of anticipation, thought about his wife and children he hadn’t seen for more than half a month, his heart racing back home.

In Sea City, Tang Yue stayed home all day.
Originally, she planned to go to Qingmeiren to find Lian Qingxuan, but Lian Qingxuan came to her early.
Tang Yue showed her the planning book she wrote overnight. If Lian Qingxuan didn’t understand anything, she asked Tang Yue on the spot. The two of them spent the whole morning in a Q&A fashion.
At home, Tang Yue could also conveniently feed the two children. To let Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian go out for a walk, Mo Xiaolin volunteered to take over the responsibility of taking care of the children.
Originally, Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian didn’t want to leave, but Tang Yue said, "Dad, Mom, since you’re in Sea City, you can buy something for Grandma and Granny Tang? And there are things you can buy here to take to Jing City."
"If you buy nothing, isn’t it a wasted trip?"
Tang Yue’s words swayed them, and Lian Qingyang added, "Exactly, Mom, Uncle Tang, Sea City has lots of good things. You can shop for a day; leave Zaozao and Chenchen, don’t worry, I’ll help take care of them at home."
"I can help too." Lian Tong, who was pregnant, also volunteered.
She couldn’t hold the children but could entertain them if they were in strollers or cribs.
Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian finally went out, reassured. Tang Yue said, "Mom, you can go shopping tomorrow. We can just take turns."
"Alright, I’ll just go with your aunt tomorrow." Mo Xiaolin smiled, mentioning that coming to Sea City, they should take something home.
