Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

The boss clearly misunderstood the relationship between the two.

Li Huan's face immediately turned red, as if the sunset had crept onto her cheeks. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to stand there any longer and wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

At this moment, Lu Yuan quickly spoke up to defuse the situation.

"Boss, you've misunderstood. We don't have that kind of relationship. We're just friends who came here to choose some beds."

"I know you young people are shy and embarrassed to say certain things, right? It's okay."

The boss came over like he was trying to sell his beds.

Lu Yuan took a look and found it was a two-meter-long bed with a dragon and phoenix carved on the headboard, which made him feel overwhelmed and that the thing was not quite suitable.

It was at this moment that Lu Yuan continued to speak.

"Boss, if you keep saying that, I'm going somewhere else!"

"Can't young people take a joke?"

Upon hearing this, the boss quickly tried to salvage the situation, but he didn't know why, as he kept saying things that sounded increasingly off.

Lu Yuan kept shaking his head, completely at a loss for words.

Seeing that Li Huan's head was almost buried in the ground, he interrupted.

"Boss, how much is this bed?"

"This bed is 120 yuan, or 150 yuan if you include the mattress."

"How about this, 130 yuan for the bed and mattress?"

Upon hearing this offer, Lu Yuan immediately tried to negotiate a lower price.

Li Huan was stunned when he heard this, thinking he had misheard. He quickly looked at the person in front of him again, trying to confirm it.

"No, are you telling me this price is wrong? I don't make any profit at this price."

Upon hearing this, the boss became a little anxious and quickly waved his hands, saying he was unwilling no matter what.

Li Huan wasn't used to haggling with people, so she didn't say much. She just watched Lu Yuan struggle and was curious about how he would haggle.

To her surprise, Lu Yuan's reaction far exceeded her expectations.

Lu Yuan spoke directly.

"One hundred and thirty yuan a day, I want ten sets."

"No, no...this price..."

The boss looked troubled and refused to agree no matter what, but then suddenly paused and confirmed.

"You want ten sets?"

He might not even sell ten sets a month, so this is definitely a big customer.

"That's easy. Ten sets should be fine. When can we send them over?"

"Send it to Xijing Road in five days."

Lu Yuan doesn't really like haggling with people. He usually does it because if he's too straightforward, the boss will suffer a loss.

After paying the deposit, Lu Yuan headed towards his next destination.

It took an hour to order everything I wanted, including a bed, some other furniture, and a showerhead.

By the time they finished, it was already dark outside. Lu Yuan had wanted to treat Li Huan to something nice to eat.

Li Huan just wanted to eat something casually.

"Isn't it boring to go shopping with me?"

"No, I actually find it quite interesting, and I don't dislike the feeling of being misunderstood."

When asked about accompanying Lu Yuan, Li Huan patted her chest and said, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that what she said was a bit inappropriate.

She moved her mouth as if to explain, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't find the words at all, and her face puffed up with anger.

"Don't get me wrong, that's not what I mean. I just don't mind being misunderstood."

"What do I mean?"

Lu Yuan took a bite of noodles, looked at her with a somewhat confused expression, and asked a question. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the person in front of him hum softly.

She kept a straight face like a little girl and didn't say a word.

Lu Yuan was a little confused and scratched his head.

"I'll take you home after we finish eating."

"I don't want to!"

Li Huan said it subconsciously.

Lu Yuan paused for a moment after hearing this before asking.

It's getting dark.

"It's getting dark... Let's go home now that it's dark."

Li Huan looked at the sky and, for some reason, felt a little restless.

She couldn't explain why she felt this way. She was fine before meeting Lu Yuan, but it was only after she realized that Lu Yuan's thoughts were different from hers that she felt something was wrong.

On the way back, Li Huan didn't say anything, just walked quietly ahead.

Lu Yuan, who was following behind, followed calmly and then spoke quite composedly.

"I took up too much of your time today. I can do it myself next time."

"Nothing of the sort, please don't overthink it."

Li Huan quickly shook his head and said aloud.

"I was thinking, you already have two or three shops, and maybe you'll have a fourth one. You're about to become a rich man. Will you stop being friends with me in the future?"

"How could that be!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan shook his head repeatedly.

"We're friends."

"you're right."

Li Huan paused for a moment, then nodded.

The two arrived at the entrance of a residential area, and Li Huan stopped and said.

"Since you've said we're friends, how about I treat you to dinner in a few days?"

"You've done me such a big favor, I should be the one treating you."

Li Huan seemed to be in a better mood and quickly shook his head, saying, "We've known each other for so long, and I've never treated you to a meal. If you don't want to, then let's just pretend we're not friends..."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Huanhuan?"

The sound startled Li Huan, who quickly turned his head to look.

A woman carrying a vegetable basket looked at them with a bewildered expression.

"mom?"

Li Huan felt like he'd been caught red-handed and quickly spoke up.

Lu Yuan quickly smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Li Huan's friend, my name is Lu Yuan."

Compared to Lu Yuan's composure, Li Huan was a little flustered, her heart pounding.

It was as if she had secretly run away to play and been discovered by her mother. She didn't dare to look her in the eye, and her tone was also a little bewildered.

"Mom... what are you doing here?"

"I'm going out for a walk and chatting with my friends."

Tian Jingxian looked at her daughter and said with a smile.

"You're Lu Yuan? I've heard Huanhuan mention your name quite a few times; she speaks very highly of you."

How could I have forgotten about that?

Li Huan felt a little regretful and quickly explained.

"Don't listen to my mom's nonsense. I didn't say that. I was just passing by on my way home from get off work today, and she wanted me to give her some advice, so I helped her look at some furniture."

"Auntie, thanks to Li Huan, I was greatly helped."

Lu Yuan nodded.

"I see."

Tian Jingxian looked at the somewhat nervous Li Huan, then at the calm and composed Lu Yuan, her gaze revealing a thoughtful expression.

He quickly smiled and said, "I was wondering why Li Huan was only coming back now. Don't mind me calling out to Xiao Lu."

"Auntie, you don't mind."

Tian Jingxian invited:

"Would you like to come over for a visit?"
