Chapter 174: My Wife, Drink More Water
TL: Etude
Jiang Qin looked at Feng Nanshu solemnly, thinking to himself that she might be able to deceive herself, but could she deceive others? He wondered if she could truly say what kind of cup this was with a clear conscience.
But Feng Nanshu, clutching the cup, refused to let go.
She was wearing a white down jacket, its hood trimmed with light pink fluff, making her look exceptionally lively and pure. Under the orange supermarket lights, her aloof and beautiful face carried a hint of stubbornness, her teeth lightly biting her red lips, and her eyes brimming with determination.
Im out of money. Ive been burning through cash for promotions lately and even have to scrounge for meals.
Jiang Qin put on a poor face, pretending to be broke.
I have money, Ill buy it for you.
She was rich enough to spend without blinking an eye.
Before he could say dont buy it, Jiang Qin suddenly thought, what if she calls me big brother? How would I respond?
Im defenseless against that.
In the end, the couples cup would be bought, and just one big brother would shatter another piece of concrete, losing both his wife and his soldiers.
Ah, a young girls money is so easy to earn, especially those like her, trapped in a friendship.
She just wanted to collect more things related to him, desperately incorporating traces of him into her life, as if that would make him impossible to lose or forget. She didnt care whether it was worth it or not.
So, in the end, what she was buying wasnt just a cup, but rather that pure and beautiful connection.
She was still worried about whether a best friend could last a lifetime, so she wanted to keep everything related to him in her life.
Boss Jiang, how much for these two cups?
Thank you for your patronage, 99 yuan. Ill round it down to 90 for you.
No need to round it down. I dont like being short one yuan. Heres a hundred, keep the change!
Jiang Zhihua, with a beaming smile, received the hundred yuan note, thinking to himself that if she had known Jiangs biggest weakness was this stunningly beautiful girl, she wouldnt have bothered making the Star of Learning contest.
I should have just written your name on every product, like those milk tea cups, and made a fortune off your family!
After watching the pair leave, Boss Jiang came out from behind the counter, set up a new pair of couples cups, and replaced the old price tag with a new one priced at 100 yuan.
She hadnt noticed the price issue at first, but Jiang Qins reminder made her realize.
Who would want to buy an incomplete love? Its simply inauspicious.
Changing the price from 99 to 100 yuan, making it complete, was more in line with what couples would desire.
No wonder he made money, the attention to detail was unbeatable.
Jiang Qin, Im hungry.
Me too, lets go to the cafeteria for a meal.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu, holding hands and each carrying a cup, headed to the cafeteria for a meal.
The rabbit might not have been saved, but they still needed to eat. Jiang Qin ordered several dishes: crispy fried yellow fish, boiled shrimp, cold shredded pork ears, and a small stir-fried lotus pond dish, with a bowl of rice each.
He was genuinely starving, wolfing down his meal as soon as he sat down, feeling slightly better only after filling his stomach a bit.
Then he noticed the little rich lady pulling out her wallet from her pocket and silently pushing it towards him.
Whats this? Do you want to keep me?
Feng Nanshu pursed her lips slightly, I cant spend all my living expenses. You spend it for me.
Jiang Qin didnt expect to be actually kept, Is it all here?
I lent fifty to Gao Wenhui. Ill get it back for you tomorrow.
Jiang Qin opened the wallet and saw it was filled with crisp hundred yuan notes, two bank cards, a milk tea card the entirety of the little rich ladys wealth minus fifty.
Inside the stainless steel cup were five embossed characters saying My wife, drink more water.
Jiang Qin was stunned for a long time. He opened his own cup and saw five similar characters, reading My husband, drink more water.
Whose brilliant idea was this, anyway?
When he had received the cups from Jiang Zhihua, he had carefully examined them. Although the two cups were color-coordinated and identical in shape, they had no explicit messages.
Sure, they were couples cups, but it wasnt necessary for them to be identical.
Just like the couples shirts they had bought at the Wanzhong Mall, there were no blatant phrases like I love you, you love me, husband, wife, which made wearing them more comfortable.
But who knew there was a hidden trick inside the cups?
Give it back to me after youre done looking
Feng Nanshu, though appearing aloof, was actually a bit panicked, afraid he wouldnt give it back after seeing the words.
Use hot water to clean it several times, preferably fill it up and leave it overnight. I smell a bit of an odor, but the certification looks legitimate, so it should be fine.
Pretending not to have seen anything, Jiang Qin nonchalantly handed the cup back to her.
I got it.
Feng Nanshu hugged the cup to her chest, treasuring it dearly.
Jiang Qin turned to Gao Wenhui: I heard you borrowed fifty yuan from the little rich lady?
Gao Wenhui looked up: Its the end of the month, I was a bit short on living expenses. But you two are still good friends, why start managing money now?
My point is, if youre short on living expenses, you can work part-time at the little rich ladys milk tea shop instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Isnt the milk tea shop fully staffed? Gao Wenhui was surprised.
Jiang Qin spoke after eating a few bites: Were opening milk tea shops in the University of Science of Technology and the Teachers University. We definitely need to send experienced staff there first, so this shop will be short-staffed. Youre Feng Nanshus best friend, so working part-time at the front plaza for a while, and maybe later as a manager, would reassure me.
Of course, its reassuring with family. Ill go tomorrow.
What family? Youre really a treasure, Gao. You havent even started working, and I already feel like docking your pay!
??????
Lets settle on that, then. Ill inform Hu Xin, and you can learn from her.
After finishing his meal and feeding Feng Nanshu a few bites, Jiang Qin picked up his cup, glanced at the words inside, and walked out of the cafeteria.
Nanshu, you must take control of your familys finances in the future. Dont hand them over to Jiang Qin. A woman only has a say when she controls the familys wealth.
Feng Nanshu looked at her, bewildered: Wenhui, I forgot to ask, wasnt your leg hurting?
Gao Wenhui was speechless for a moment: Suddenly, it got better.
Wenhui, youre bad, I wont listen to you.
Actually, Jiang Qins decision to have Gao Wenhui work part-time at Xi Tian was calculated.
This woman was unpredictable, a wildcard within the uncontrollable spectrum. But once Gao joined Xi Tian, whether or not her salary got docked would be up to him.
Jiang Qin walked contentedly to the dormitory building and saw Cao Guangyu also returning. The cup in his hand looked like the same model as his, still wrapped in plastic film.
Yo!
What yo? Get lost!
Keeping someone means being their sugar mommy/daddy, but in a less crude way.
