Lin is off today. Just before noon, Baojia tells Lin to prepare for her first visit to Baojia’s grandpa’s house. There’s still plenty of time, but Lin feels a little nervous.
Lin Luoran doesn’t want to visit Baojia’s grandpa without a gift. In fact, medicines in her mysterious space are the best gifts for seniors. However, the ginseng is only “thirty years old,” and it would be a waste to pull them out since this kind of good seeds are hard to find.
Lin thinks for a moment and figures out another gift. She asks Baojia to drive to one of Sister Wang’s stores, she has something important to discuss with Sister Wang.
Knowing that Lin and Sister Wang have always been in contact recently, Baojia does not doubt. After getting out of the car, Lin Luoran picks a random jade pendant over 10,000 yuan in the store, instead of going to find Wang Miao’e.
Minus the operating costs, this small piece of jade pendant is made of real jade, but not
“What? The commander in chief of the military subarea?” In front of a two-story house, Lin Luoran lowers her voice and says in surprise.Knowing Lin Luoran so well, Baojia smiles, “I didn’t mean to hide this from you. You never asked, so I didn’t have the chance to tell you…” Baojia doesn’t believe that Lin Luoran’s surprise is out of happiness. She must be angry.Lin Luoran’s mad at Baojia now. However, she has no choice but to forgive her best friend because Baojia is looking at her with begging eyes and bowing for her forgiveness.It’s true that Lin Luoran never asked about this. Besides, she used to be so sensitive and self-abased. If Baojia did tell Lin Luoran about what kind of family she came from, Lin Luoran must have estranged from her best friend because of inferiority. Thinking in this way, Lin Luoran feels relieved, but she still pretends to be mad, “I won’t forget about this! You have to make it up to me later!”Baojia
The problem is solved by Liu Zheng, and everybody is happy. After all, Commander Qin is an old man who needs to rest early, so it’ll be inappropriate for Lin Luoran to stay too long. It is already past eight o’clock, and Lin Luoran is about to leave.Baojia insists on staying and keeping her grandpa accompanied. She asks Liu Zheng to drive Lin Luoran home.Commander Qin is obviously excited about Baojia’s stay, and Lin Luoran has no choice but to accept Baojia’s suggestion. After saying goodbye to Commander Qin, Baojia walks Lin Luoran and Liu Zheng to the door, “Master. Liu, I shall hand over Luoran to you!”What does Baojia mean by saying “handing over” me to Liu Zheng? Baojia is such a wicked girl! Lin Luoran is going to say something, but the door is closed with a “bang”! Lin Luoran can even hear Baojia tittering behind the door.Before Baojia’s joke, it is natural for Liu Zheng to give Lin Luoran a lift home. Now, in the quiet
Lin Luoran and Liu Zheng remain silent on the way home. Lin Luoran doesn’t know why she blushes, and her heart beats so fast.All she can remember is that when they arrive at her house, Liu Zheng says, “It was a makeshift…”He is interrupted by Lin Luoran in a loud voice, “I knew!” Her face is red. Lin Luoran gets out of the car in a hurry.Liu Zheng’s eyes are filled with laughter. Looking at Lin Luoran’s hurrying back, he doesn’t think that she is ridiculous. Lin Luoran’s usual calmness comes to Liu Zheng’s mind. The contrast is cute, he thinks.Lin Luoran hurries upstairs like a ghost is chasing her. She drinks two glasses of water to make her blush fade away. She feels funny after calming down. She is no longer a pubescent girl, and it is awkward to be so shy today.Lin Luoran transports herself into the space and eats some cherry tomatoes. Looking at these thriving ginsengs, Lin Luoran is a little embarrassed.
Lin Luoran tidies herself up and goes downstairs. She knows that Baojia doesn’t eat breakfast, so she cooks some noodles with a fried egg and takes them with her in a lunch box.Baojia is snickering, “I heard that last night there was a big show outside the compound. Someone rescued the damsel in distress!”Baojia grows up in the military families compound. Thus, it is natural that she knows what happened last night. Lin Luoran assumes that the more she explains, things may get more confusing, so she lifts the lunchbox in her hand and says, “I will throw the breakfast away if you keep talking nonsense!”Baojia puts on a flattering smile, “All right! Dear Lin, can I have a taste?” Then she grabs the lunchbox from Lin Luoran and eats the noodles up.The two of them joke and laugh along the way and arrive at the company just on time.Coincidently, they come across Liu Zheng in the parking lot. Liu Zheng smiles politely at
Baojia feels uncomfortable to make an explanation in front of all these people. She squints at Mu Tiannan and says, “Who are you? Why are you meddling in our business?”“Gee, Miss Qin, you are not gentle at all. No wonder your fiancé is about to run away with others.” Mu Tiannan shakes his head and says that with an annoying face.Lin Luoran starts to get angry. This guy is so repulsive for trying to incite Baojia and Lin Luoran to become enemies!There is nothing between Lin Luoran and Liu Zheng. Even if Lin Luoran likes him, she won’t do anything after knowing Liu Zheng is Baojia’s fiancé.Mu Tiannan is making things unbearable. The glasses have entirely covered Liu Zheng’s eyes. However, his frowning eyebrows still show his emotions.“Why are you guys still here? It’s not working time. You should go home. ” Liu Zheng is always prestigious in the company, and his words drive away all the bystanders. Only Liu Mei glan
“I heard that you want to buy a house. Have you found a suitable one yet?” Wang Miao’e is always so straightforward.“Yeah. I don’t like apartments with elevator. The building land is on the decrease these days. Those commercial residential buildings that have fewer floors are always located in the suburb. It is so hard to find a nice one.” Even the bead can’t do anything to help Lin Luoran find a house.Wang Miao’e smiles, “I know about a house on sale, which perfectly meets your requirements. But it is quite expensive. Would you like to see it someday?”Holding the hands of Wang Miao’e, Lin Luoran expresses her gratitude, “You really help solve a big problem of mine. I have been worried sick about it these days. It’s okay that the house is expensive. I still have a raw stone, and I will be able to make the down payment.”Hearing that Lin Luoran still has a raw stone, Wang Miao’e feels assured. She knows that Lin Luoran earned 6 million yuan last time, from
“Alright, I haven’t experienced much of the world, but I do know that the Suzhou garden is much prettier than this…” Lin Luoran tries to persuade herself. However, Lin Luoran cheers up at the thought of buying this house. There is a little island with a bridge in the backyard. Two small bamboo cabins are in the center of the island, surrounded by green bamboos. Outside of the corner gate, a cobblestone road leads all the way to the wood bridge. On both sides of the road, camellia flowers are thriving. Grape trellis is put up along the corner, and lots of bamboo poles are stuck in the field. It seems that lots of vegetables such as cowpea and loofah were growing here before.On the left side of the backyard is a delicate loft. You can see the street when you go upstairs. This building has carved beams and painted rafters, and several small copper bells are hanging on the eaves.The space between the wall and the pond is planted with vegetables,
While Lin Luoran is worrying about her housing fund, Fatty Cui, who wallows in money, is also having bad days. He can’t sleep at night, and Wang Miao’e has been picking fights with him because of this.Fatty Cui doesn’t want Wang Miao’e to know about his concerns. How can he tell his wife that a martial art master bent a steel bar right in front of him and forced him to hand over some raw jade with Reiki?This is too confusing. Doesn’t Reiki only exist in those mythical novels? How can an uncouth fellow like him know where to find Reiki? Fatty Cui is worried. He doesn’t care much about himself. He is afraid that those gangsters may go and make trouble for Wang Miao’e. As a result, Fatty Cui has lost a few pounds in the past half month, which makes Wang Miao’e quite envious of him.Lin Luoran thinks over and over again and decides to cut open the raw stone she left in Baojia’s place. She will think of something else if she still can’t get enough
