Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

During lunch time, it was rare to see the three of them together.

Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei sat opposite each other. Neither of them looked at each other, and no one spoke at the dining table. Xiang Xiaoyuan was excited because she received 900,000 yuan in her bank account. Naturally, she did not notice anything wrong and continued to eat happily.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had made an appointment with the workers at the property management department very early on. She would be able to carry out a simple renovation of the shop this afternoon. This step only required repainting the walls and laying the floors. The color of the walls and the materials for the floors had also been decided early on.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had accumulated a lot of renovation experience before she transmigrated into the novel. However, different renovation teams would have different renovation problems. To be on the safe side, she decided to go over personally to keep an eye on it.

After lunch, she went upstairs to change her clothes. Not long after she entered the room, Lu Wanggui also came up.

He had no choice. His luggage was intercepted and sent directly to the master bedroom. Of course, he was more curious about what Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to do.

He had wanted to talk to Xiang Xiaoyuan, but Xiang Xiaoyuan had placed all her attention on the renovation of the shop and was not in the mood to deal with him.

Lu Wanggui had just stepped through the door when he heard Xiang Xiaoyuan say, “Are you going to the office this afternoon? If you don’t go to the office, then rest well. You probably didn’t rest well after traveling for such a long time. I have to go to the shop in a while. It’s the shop that I told you about earlier. The renovation will start today. I’m worried and want to go over and take a look.”

Lu Wanggui nodded slightly.

Noticing his actions, Xiang Xiaoyuan naturally walked to the window and closed the curtains. The room instantly darkened. “Oh right, there’s one more thing. Didn’t they choose me to be some parent representative at the parent-teacher conference today?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan tried her best to sound annoyed and conflicted. “Those parents in the group chat wanted to give me some money as a token of appreciation. I didn’t want it, but they insisted on giving it to me. When they realized that I didn’t want it, they even troubled assistant Gao to transfer it to me... What do you think I should do with this money? Should I return it or...”

In order to make her words sound more real, she added, “If you know that it’s so troublesome, I wouldn’t have spoken up at the parent-teacher conference.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s voice was as clear and melodious as a pipa. Her words were clear, and her speed of speech fluctuated along with her emotions. She didn’t tire people or make herself sound noisy. Everything was just right.

The curtains were drawn, and the room was dark. Lu Wanggui could not see Xiang Xiaoyuan’s expression clearly, but he could still catch her emotions from her tone.

She was nothing like before.

What was she like before?

Lu Wanggui slowly thought... He and Xiang Xiaoyuan had not known each other for a long time. They had known each other for less than three months, but in three months, she had not spoken to him more than she had today.

He could tell that she was a little talkative and lively now. She would take the initiative to communicate with others. She was bright and bold.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had said so much, but Lu Wanggui still did not respond. She began to regret it. Why did she tell Lu Wanggui all these things... if he really asked her to return the money, she might cry herself to death.

Moreover, it was fine if she just returned the money, but she might have to continue working. When she thought about the possibility of working for others for free, Xiang Xiaoyuan instantly became listless.

Just as Xiang Xiaoyuan was feeling endless regret, Lu Wanggui spoke. His voice did not change much. “Just accept it.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly raised her head to look at him.

“It’s not that much.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “...”

900,000 yuan?

Not that much?

Alright, she was short-sighted. 900,000 yuan was probably no different from 9 yuan to Lu Wanggui. In other words, she only took 9 yuan from other people. 9 yuan was nothing to be upset about!

“Then I’ll listen to you.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan lowered her head and tried hard to suppress the corner of her lips.

Everything was developing in a good direction. Although she didn’t have much money now, it didn’t matter. In the future, she would have a house, a car, and cash. There were also men... ahem no, she couldn’t have that.

“Then I’ll go first?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan pointed at the bed in the bedroom. “The curtains are closed. You should lie down and sleep. The bed sheets are all new. There’s also incense to help you sleep.”

In the darkness, Lu Wanggui’s expression was unclear as he softly hummed in agreement.

After leaving the villa, Xiang Xiaoyuan went straight to the shop outside the villa district like a wild horse.

It had been several years since the shop that she rented had been rented out last. In the past few days, apart from signing the contract, she had also gotten someone to clean up the shop.

Standing at the door and looking at the brand new shop, Xiang Xiaoyuan felt a sense of accomplishment.

This shop was at a convenient location. The decoration did not need to be too luxurious. Simple white walls were enough. The designer had already started working. Xiang Xiaoyuan moved a small stool to sit by the door. The sun was just shining outside.

Xiang Xiaoyuan, ah, Xiang Xiaoyuan, you will definitely live well in this world.. Very well.
