On the night of her wedding, the husband left for a mission as a soldier. For three years, Su Yueya dutifully took care of her mother-in-law. Just as she finally waited for her husband to be promot...
“What you said makes sense…” Qiao Xinruo nodded and did not continue the topic.
At that moment, a male voice rang out.
"Dr. Su, Dr. Qiao, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you two today."
The moment Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo appeared—no, to be precise, the moment Qiao Xinruo appeared—when Zhou Jinglan heard that voice he had longed for day and night, he immediately looked over.
Because of the scars on his face, his instinctive reaction was to try to avoid them.
After all, the little goddess likes good-looking people. If she saw me looking so unattractive, it would inevitably leave a bad impression on her. Wouldn't that be counterproductive?
But then Zhou Jinglan thought of himself in the mirror.
Now that the scar has faded, he wouldn't be impolite to others or frighten them from a normal social distance, so... could he be brave for once?
With this in mind, Zhou Jinglan finally dared to step forward and greet the little goddess and Doctor Su.
"Comrade Zhou?" Su Yueya was somewhat surprised to see Zhou Jinglan, not expecting to run into him here.
Looking at her younger sister, Qiao Xinruo had an awkward and embarrassed expression on her face.
If it weren't for the connection from their childhood rescue, Qiao Xinruo would have seen Zhou Jinglan as nothing more than someone she had saved, and perhaps even cared about him, since he was someone she had snatched back from the jaws of death.
But their childhood connection, coupled with the fact that she knew Zhou Jinglan had feelings for her...
It would be strange if Qiao Xin wasn't embarrassed!
Fortunately, she wasn't very interested in men and was career-oriented, so she wasn't affected.
"Hello." Qiao Xinruo nodded demurely, without saying much, and even wanted to find an excuse to leave with her sister as soon as possible to avoid continuing this awkward situation.
But the other two people present thought differently.
"I just heard from the shop assistant that the boss came to deliver the goods. I didn't expect it would be the two of you delivering today. Thank you so much!" Zhou Jinglan was just making small talk when he suddenly remembered that he had been given special treatment and was able to buy two sets of scar removal kits at once, so he immediately expressed his sincere gratitude.
"By the way, I've always known that Qiaorentang has purchase limits, and their products are so good that they're in high demand. I also want to thank you for letting me buy two scar removal kits at once. This has really helped me a lot. Thank you so much!"
Su Yueya knew about this, since the shop assistant had reported it to her, but Qiao Xinruo did not, and she looked at her sister in surprise.
There's something else going on...
However, why is my sister so nice to Zhou Jinglan? Could it be...? Qiao Xinru shook her head, thinking to herself, does my sister think there might be something between her and Zhou Jinglan?
What a joke! I'm a master of business!
"Thank you is not the right word. The purchase limit is meant to curb those who maliciously buy and sell, so that those who really need the product can buy and use it. This scar removal set is indeed very suitable for you. I see that you are now..." Su Yueya stared intently at Zhou Jinglan's face, making him feel a little embarrassed.
"Your face is indeed much better now. This scar removal kit is perfect for you. As for the scars on your body, you can use scar removal cream to gradually heal them," Su Yueya said.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Dr. Su." Zhou Jinglan's face turned red, much to his dismay.
When it comes to the scars on his body, he acts like a virgin who has been teased, wanting to hide himself away.
Su Yueya found it extremely interesting and secretly observed her sister's reaction. She found that both of them were embarrassed, which made her even more amused.
Zhou Jinglan and Su Yueya chatted back and forth, each saying a sentence, and it went quite well, while Qiao Xinruo remained silent.
Who knows, maybe Zhou Jinglan will really be my brother-in-law in the future?
Those are our own people!
Even if they didn't become family, Zhou Jinglan was still a soldier who protected the country, and Su Yueya felt that he was very worthy of her help.
"Are you waiting for the scar removal kit to be available?" Su Yueya asked, a thought suddenly popping into her head: to give her future brother-in-law a little favor.
“Yes, given my current situation, I need to use the scar removal kit for a long time, so I come to the store from time to time to check it out. If I see it, I buy some, so I feel more at ease knowing I won’t run out of stock,” Zhou Jinglan explained. “I was very lucky today. The clerk said they were out of stock, but you happened to be delivering.”
"You're really lucky today," Su Yueya said, beckoning over a shop assistant.
"Boss, what can I do for you?" the clerk asked.
"Pack five boxes of scar removal kits for this customer. If he comes back to buy more and they're out of stock, he can contact me," Su Yueya said, giving Zhou Jinglan special treatment.
Qiao Xinruo was stunned. Her sister was already giving Zhou Jinglan special treatment?
But in front of everyone, Qiao Xinruo couldn't say anything, so she could only keep looking at the sky and the ground, pretending to be very busy.
"Dr. Su, this...is this not a good idea?" Zhou Jinglan was flattered. He knew the rules of Qiaorentang, but Dr. Su had given him such a convenience, which he had never dared to imagine before.
Could it be that Dr. Su had a good impression of him?
Zhou Jinglan was greatly encouraged!
Any kindness or goodwill from the Qiao family would give him more confidence. Even if he couldn't win the favor of the Little Goddess, being on good terms with the Qiao family would still be a good thing.
“There’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t feel burdened. As I said, Qiaorentang is here to help those in need. I know you won’t buy and sell for profit, so I won’t worry about selling you more, and it won’t violate Qiaorentang’s principles,” Su Yueya explained.
Zhou Jinglan nodded and said gratefully, "Don't worry, Dr. Su, I use these scar removal kits myself. I would never buy and sell them for profit. I, Zhou Jinglan, swear on that!"
“There’s no need for oaths. I trust Comrade Zhou’s character,” Su Yueya said.
Then, she gave Zhou Jinglan some advice, suggesting that he use up the five scar removal kits and his current stockpile first.
"You can see the results later and then decide whether you want to continue using this scar removal kit. I think you probably won't need it after you finish these. If you still need it later, you can come back," Su Yueya said.
"Thank you so much!" Zhou Jinglan said gratefully.
During the conversation, Zhou Jinglan kept stealing glances at Qiao Xinruo, which Su Yueya noticed, making her want to laugh.
Zhou Jinglan thanked her profusely and left with five sets of scar removal kits. Of course, he was reluctant to leave just like that, but he could also sense the little goddess's attitude, so he knew to do as he pleased and not cause any annoyance.
After everyone left, Qiao Xinruo glared at her sister, her tone slightly displeased.
"Sister, aren't you being too nice and enthusiastic to him? Is it really necessary..." Qiao Xinruo seemed very unhappy.
