“Enough!”
This miser has been stripped of all he has. This is enough sincerity.
Qiao Jiusheng was not so ignorant.
She patted Fang Yusheng’s cheek. “Get up. You’re not suitable to squat and look at people.” Fang Yusheng should be high and mighty and look down on everyone with his eyes.
Looking up was not suitable for him.
Fang Yusheng immediately stood up. He was yet again that 1.84-meter-tall man with an upright figure.
Qiao Jiusheng moved over his chair. She stood on the chair and placed the iron box on the top of the collection rack. Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows and helplessly looked at her. Qiao Jiusheng said to him, “It’s safe here. I’m afraid that my hands will itch, and I’ll use up all your money. You’ll cry.”
Jumping down from the chair, she took out her change and shook it at Fang Yusheng. She then tiptoed to climb onto his shoulder. Fang Yusheng was too tall for her to reach his shoulder, so she simply hugged his waist and asked him, “Do you want some snacks? I’ll buy some.” Her tone was extremely bold.
Fang Yusheng had not eaten snacks for many years.
He glanced at the 57 yuan in her hand and shook his head. “For you.” He paused and generously waved his hand. “Just spend it however you like”
He did not feel any heartache even if she were to spend it all. It was only 57 yuan anyway.
Qiao Jiusheng kowtowed to him. “Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty.”
Without waiting for Fang Yusheng to speak, she got up and ran.
Within two minutes, Fang Yusheng heard a steam whistle from downstairs. It seemed like Qiao Jiusheng had gone to buy snacks with the change.
Time had passed very quickly for Fang Yusheng as he had been joking with Qiao Jiusheng.
The moment she left, he was extremely bored.
He pulled out a book and slowly read it.
After more than an hour, Fang Yusheng heard Qiao Jiusheng return and went downstairs.
Qiao Jiusheng sat on the sofa in the living room. A supermarket bag lay on the coffee table with some snacks inside it. Qiao Jiusheng had not eaten snacks for many years. In her impression, she had last eaten snacks with the girls in her class in primary school.
She opened a bag of lollipops and heard Fang Yusheng’s footsteps coming down the stairs. She turned back and asked him, “Fang Yusheng, what flavor do you like?”
Fang Yusheng replied, “I’m not eating.” He was not interested in snacks.
“Orange, lychee, banana, apple, pineapple, milk, blueberry… grapefruit-flavored.” Qiao Jiusheng picked the lollipop and reported it to Fang Yusheng. When she found the grapefruit-flavored lollipop, she did not let go. She turned back and asked Fang Yusheng while unwrapping the lollipop. “Which flavor do you like more?”
Fang Yusheng looked at her sparkling eyes and thought for a while. “Lemon.”
Qiao Jiusheng quickly threw down the grapefruit lollipop that she had unwrapped. She picked up a lemon lollipop, peeled it off, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Fang Yusheng raised his eyebrows. Wasn’t it for me?
As she ate, Qiao Jiusheng told Fang Yusheng, “When I came back just now, I met Butler Wan. Butler Wan said that Qingqing and Young Master Jiang’s engagement date has been chosen.”
“Oh?”
Fang Yusheng walked over and sat down beside Qiao Jiusheng. He stared at her puffed-upcheeks for a second before asking, “Which day?”
“This Friday.
“We have to go to the Jiang Family’s Luo Wen Hotel. What gift do you think we should give them?” It was just an engagement, so giving money would be too tacky. Qiao Jiusheng was not sure about the gift. She had heard about the trouble Fang Yusheng had caused in the past, so she could not help but remind him, “Don’t mess around.” If he dared to give the couple Buddhist scriptures or calligraphy, she would beat him to death.
