Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 38 Your thoughts are too easy to guess.

"Why is there another one?"

As soon as Liu Changcun entered the store, he heard his son asking him a question.

My gaze swept across the store, noticing my daughter already sipping her lemon tea from her cup.

He took the cup from Liu Songyan, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp.

In the sweltering heat, a cool sensation slid down my throat.

It relieves the body's heat.

"What do you mean 'another one'? This aunt outside the door has been a great help to our family."

"..."

Stopping in front of the bookstore, Liu Songyan looked outside.

I could see a figure stomping his feet slightly in the distance.

She's another strange auntie.

"Songyan, you watch the shop for Dad, I'm going out for a bit."

"it is good."

"Do you know how to use the cashier?"

"Yes, I remember it after seeing it once."

"He's quite bright, but his grades just won't improve."

"..."

Seeing Liu Songyan remain silent, the old father had no intention of continuing his lecture.

Looking at Liu Wanqiu, who had poured herself another cup of lemon tea, she stopped in her tracks as she was about to leave.

"You should drink less too, drinking too much cold food can easily upset your stomach."

"I only had a little bit..."

"This is the fourth cup already."

Just as Liu Wanqiu was about to make a fuss, her own brother exposed her.

Her face flushed red with shame, and she started fidgeting with her fingers, as if she were having a lot of fun.

Seeing this, Liu Changcun didn't say anything more.

She turned around and patted her son.

"Keep a close eye on her and don't let her drink anymore."

"clear."

"I'll go now, I should be back soon."

After saying that, Liu Changcun turned and left.

All that's left is the sight of their children gradually walking away from the shop.

I watched my father leave, and saw him talking to the woman waiting outside the shop.

He was too far away to hear what was being said.

Watching the two leave side by side, I stopped by the roadside to wait for an empty taxi to pass by.

It was as if there were eyes in the back of their heads; even though their backs were turned, they were able to accurately stop Liu Wanqiu from reaching for the lemon tea bucket.

"Put the cup down."

"Ah~ have another drink~"

"No."

"Brother~"

Faced with his younger sister's coquettishness, the cold and ruthless Liu Songyan remained unmoved.

His father's dying words instructed him to be strict with himself and not to even think about having another drink under his watchful eye.

Liu Wanqiu was a little bored.

I had to spend my precious weekend in the bookstore. I finally got some delicious drinks, but they wouldn't let me have any more after just four.

Sitting on the stool, he kicked his calves every now and then.

I looked at my brother, who had already sat down at the cashier.

He leaned forward to strike up a conversation.

"Dad and the florist next door seem to have a special relationship."

"..."

"Actually, I don't object to Dad getting to know other women. Ever since Mom left, Dad often runs the shop alone, and he seems so lonely..."

"She can't."

"Who?"

"Ning Mengyao from next door."

"And who is Ning Mengyao?"

"It's the florist you mentioned."

"Oh~"

After a series of conversations, Liu Wanqiu finally understood.

Turns out the florist next door is named Ning Mengyao.

She had barely understood for two seconds when she became confused again. She then moved closer to her brother and whispered a question.

"Why can't Aunt Ning do it...?"

"She's been married."

Thinking of the woman who had just delivered lemon tea not long ago, Liu Songyan, sitting at the cashier, had a very low opinion of her.

Although Ning Mengyao is quite good-looking, she is too soft-hearted.

He seemed to have a bad spirit and looked like he was having a very hard life.

Moreover, whether it was Liu Songyan's imagination or not, he always felt that getting involved with that woman would be very troublesome.

As a son, Liu Songyan hopes his father can live a peaceful and stable life.

Instead of getting involved in some messy, irrelevant things.

Liu Wanqiu, sitting next to him, was completely bewildered.

At 11 years old, she didn't understand what it meant to be married.

My own father was married before.

Otherwise, where did she and her brother come from? The feeling of doubt came and went quickly, noticing that her brother in front of her didn't seem to like Aunt Ning very much.

Liu Wanqiu, who was somewhat perceptive, immediately changed the subject.

"Actually, my friend was also going to introduce her to her dad. Her mom works at a hospital and knows a lot of pretty nurses."

"Ok?"

Liu Songyan, who had been keeping his eyes fixed ahead, finally made a move.

This was the first time he, as the older brother, had heard of the topic his younger sister was discussing.

"Is it reliable?"

"Zhiyan seems very confident, but she can't find anything too small, so she keeps putting it off."

"What's too small?"

"This!"

The little hand she raised landed firmly on her older brother's heart.

"..."

Liu Songyan remained silent.

He looked at his younger sister's little hands pressed against him.

Come back to the taste.

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

------------

"How about this one?"

"..."

The curtain was drawn back, and the figure that appeared under the light startled An Zhaoran, who was waiting.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse. If Liu Changcun was just handsome on ordinary days, he looks radiant now that he's wearing new clothes.

He lacks the naivety of those pretty boys on TV, yet possesses the composed demeanor of a mature man.

A straight back and long, slender legs.

The suit's perfectly tailored waist accentuated her already excellent figure.

Liu Changcun, still waiting for a response, looked up, clutching his sleeve.

Looking at An Zhaoran, who remained silent in the waiting area.

He spoke again.

"No, I'll change into another outfit."

"That's it."

An Zhaoran finally came to her senses.

She involuntarily looked away, then pretended to be calm as she glanced at the stunned shop assistant beside her.

"Could you please pack up the old clothes?"

"Ok."

Her professional demeanor quickly brought the female shop assistant back to her senses. She first hurried to the fitting room and gathered up the old clothes that had been replaced.

As she left, she secretly glanced at Liu Changcun several times.

Then I went straight to the counter.

"Time is of the essence, there's no time to find someone to customize it."

Standing up from her seat, An Zhaoran walked lightly to Liu Changcun.

Looking down at the other person's collar, he slowly raised his hand and straightened the slightly crooked tie.

Gently push upwards.

"But it looks great this way, and it suits you very well."

"It does look quite nice, but wearing this in such hot weather..."

"The rooms are all air-conditioned, and you can take off your coat if you get hot."

"Yes, I was overthinking it."

As if he hadn't expected this, Liu Changcun gave a self-deprecating laugh.

But when this appearance fell into An Zhaoran's eyes, even though he had never forgotten this face in the past ten years.

Upon closer inspection again, it's hard not to be momentarily stunned.

She looked at the other person standing in front of her, watching the man stroke the fabric of his suit.

"This outfit should be enough to fool your parents, right?"

"Ah."

Nodding in response, An Zhaoran mumbled a reply, still somewhat dazed.

"..."

The spotlights in the clothing store cast wave-like patterns on the wall.

He paused for a moment, then tilted his head slightly.

With her eyes wide open, An Zhaoran finally realized what was happening.

"W-what!? What?! Meeting the parents?!"

"I just wanted to tease you, but you got so into character... so I didn't have the heart to call you out on it."

Even though Liu Changcun was mentally prepared, An Zhaoran's reaction still surprised him.

It's hard to imagine that a woman with such a dignified and elegant appearance could also have such a girlish demeanor.

When the other party asked him for help last night, Liu Changcun only suspected that the favor might be to appease the other party's parents' pressure to get married.

The fact that the other person took me shopping for clothes today completely confirmed this suspicion.

Looking at the panicked An Zhaoran in front of him, Liu Changcun simply smiled and spoke.

"Your thoughts are too easy to guess, Miss An."

　I usually update two chapters before 7 PM.

　　Because updating too quickly during the new book period would not get enough recommendations, I usually start with two chapters. However, each chapter has a lot of words, so I always write 5,000 words a day.

　　It's been a long time since I've seriously written a book, and some of the mechanisms have changed so much that I don't even recognize them anymore.

　　It seems that monthly votes, comments, and readership all affect a new book's ranking.

　　So I hope for lots of votes, lots of comments, and lots of follow-up reads.

　　Thank you!
