"If you don’t co out, I’m coming in," Pei Yicheng’s voice ca from outside the door.
Nianhua erged from the restroom reluctantly, wishing she could disappear on the spot.
She cleared her throat and said, "I, I was just using the restroom."
"Is that so?" Pei Yicheng looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "Your ears are red, are you sure you’re not embarrassed?"
"Who’s embarrassed? What do I have to be embarrassed about?"
With her lips pursed, Nianhua felt her face burning hot. She changed the subject, "By the way, Cheng-ge, there’s sothing I want to ask for your help with. Do you know soone who’s good with their hands? Um, preferably soone who has retired and is trustworthy."
Nianhua spoke quickly. Having ntioned so serious business, she felt her cheeks cooling down.
"What for?" Pei Yicheng’s smile faded as he asked.
"I..."
Nianhua paused, unsure of how to phrase it, then continued, "I feel like the people who tampered with our Chili Sauce Factory haven’t been found yet, and I always have the feeling that if they didn’t succeed with the factory, they would definitely try sothing else. It’s alright when we are at ho, but Big Brother is always out delivering goods. I think it’s safer to have soone skilled to accompany him. Of course, I’m willing to pay double the wage."
Nianhua knew that the Gu Family would target the Xu Family just like in her previous life. The Chili Sauce Factory incident had passed, but she was sure the Gu Family wouldn’t just leave it at that.
"Who do you suspect is out to harm you?" Pei Yicheng’s eyes flickered.
"I don’t know."
Nianhua lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze. She always felt like she couldn’t keep any secrets from him. She urged him, "Cheng-ge, tell quickly, do you know such a person? If you don’t, I’ll ask soone else."
"I do."
Pei Yicheng affird, not wanting her to worry. He said, "Actually, we need to add another vehicle for the chili sauce deliveries, and expanding the Chili Sauce Factory is also essential. Let’s take this opportunity to make our chili sauce known to even more people."
"Exactly, exactly," Nianhua agreed excitedly, admiringly looking at him, "Cheng-ge, you’re really amazing."
"Then you should be happy." A smile shone in Pei Yicheng’s eyes as he accepted the praise.
"Of course, I think I’m so lucky to have you as my boyfriend, I must have accumulated good fortune for two lifetis!" Nianhua said earnestly, believing every word. In her last life, she must have donated all her earnings, which was why the Heavens were compensating her so generously in this life!
"Did you have sugar this morning?" The smile in Pei Yicheng’s eyes grew even brighter.
"No." Nianhua looked at him with a puzzled face, not catching on imdiately. Just a mont ago she had been complinting him, so why was he suddenly asking if she had eaten sugar?
"Today your mouth seems to be dipped in honey." Just as Pei Yicheng reached out his hand, he saw Nianhua quickly step back. He raised an eyebrow, his gaze filled with confusion.
Nianhua quickly warned, "Be careful, your wound on the back might reopen."
Pei Yicheng: "..."
He just wanted to hold her hand.
"Cheng-ge, I’m going to boil so water," Nianhua said, as she picked up the kettle and walked out.
Pei Yicheng lowered his head, pondering Nianhua’s words, feeling that she was hiding sothing in her heart. Perhaps she knew who was trying to harm her?
