A sweet 1V1 romance story that feels empowering and down-to-earth, set in a rural era setting.
An architect named Hua Kai wakes up in a diary and finds herself transported back to the early 1...
Before Chang Tingting could finish speaking, Hua Kai slapped her across the face: "Watch your mouth before you speak, or I'll smash your damn mouth to pieces."
Chang Tingting was a little stunned by Hua Kai's attack, and it took her a while to react before she came running at Hua Kai and scratching her.
How could Hua Kai possibly be defeated by her? She slapped him across the face again.
Chang Tingting was slapped again, feeling wronged to the point of going crazy, and ran towards Hua Kai with both hands.
However, she had absolutely no skill, and Hua Kai kicked her in the stomach. Chang Tingting screamed, sat on the ground, and burst into tears.
Xiao He was completely dumbfounded, pointing at Hua Kai: "You, you, how, how did you hit someone?"
Hua Kai clapped her hands and said, "She made the first move, but she was just too stupid."
Xiao He quickly went over and squatted down next to Chang Tingting: "Tingting, how are you?"
She brought the person with her. She had spoken to Chang Tingting's parents and arranged for Ye Yifan and Chang Tingting to get together. Now that Chang Tingting has been beaten, how is she going to explain this?
Chang Tingting was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She hugged Xiao He and cried, "Aunt Xiao, please help me get revenge."
Hua Kai laughed: "Revenge? You started the trouble first, you made the first move, and you still have the nerve to talk about revenge? But Chang Tingting, we've made an enemy of each other today, and I don't intend to let you off so easily. You'll regret it later."
Before she was beaten, Chang Tingting might have thought Hua Kai was just bragging, but now she seems to believe Hua Kai a little and is also afraid.
She looked at the blooming flowers and asked cautiously, "What are you going to do?"
Hua Kai said, "You'll find out when the time comes." Then she said to Xiao He, "Auntie, I have something to do. If you don't have anything else, I won't keep you any longer."
Xiao He looked at the blooming flowers: "What? What do you mean? You're kicking me out?"
Hua Kai shook her head: "No, if you want to stay here, then stay here. It's just that my business is so big, and it's only been open for two days. Yi Fan isn't here, so I'm really busy. I can't keep you company. If you want to stay here, then stay here. There's hot water in the teapot, so please make yourself at home."
Xiao He couldn't stay there any longer. The main problem was that Chang Tingting's face was swollen like a pig's head. She had to reduce the swelling so she could take Chang Tingting home.
She pulled Chang Tingting along and said, "Tingting, let's go. Don't worry, this is definitely not over. I will make her come to apologize to you in person."
Hua Kai said directly to Xiao He, "Auntie, you shouldn't have this idea. Otherwise, if you say it out loud and it can't be realized, you'll lose face."
Xiao He glared at Hua Kai: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you can cooperate with Xiao Fan. Let me tell you, he's my son. If I make him break up with you, he'll have to listen to me."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Then go and give it a try."
Xiao He was unsure of herself, but she spoke toughly: "You wait and see," and then left with Chang Tingting.
After they left, Hua Kai sighed. She didn't think about calling Ye Yifan directly to tell him about it, as that would make him worry. She decided to wait until Ye Yifan returned before talking to him.
She took out paper and pen and started drawing clothing design sketches. Before, she had only thought about it, but now she had made up her mind to start a clothing factory and turn that evergreen vine into a dead vine.
After Xiao He and Chang Tingting left, they went to Xiao He's house.
When Chang Tingting arrived at Xiao He's house, she was still a little dazed. It wasn't until she saw the mirror and her swollen face in the mirror that she could no longer control herself and burst into tears.
Xiao He panicked and went over to comfort Chang Tingting: "Tingting, don't cry. Auntie won't let you suffer in this matter. I'll call Xiao Fan in a bit and ask him to come back in the next couple of days. I'll definitely get to the bottom of this with him."
Chang Tingting quickly said, "Aunt Xiao, let Brother Xiao Fan come back in a few days. How can I see him with my face like this?"
Xiao He said, "Are you stupid? Let him see what kind of barbaric woman that Hua Kai is, that she's so vicious."
Chang Tingting thought for a moment and was still hesitant: "But Aunt Xiao, I'm not as pretty as Huakai. If I'm injured, wouldn't that make Huakai look even worse?"
Xiao He was also in a dilemma: "But if we don't let Xiao Fan see this, he won't believe what we're saying, will he?"
Chang Tingting thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Xiao, how about this, when Xiao Fan comes back this weekend, I'll put on some makeup? I'll put on a lot of blush and say that Hua Kai did it?"
Xiao He was still quite confused: "But would that make it seem very serious?"
Chang Tingting said, "It's enough to prove that Hua Kai hit me. Brother Xiao Fan must not know that Hua Kai has such a wild side."
Xiao He thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine. Lanlan is away on a business trip these two days, so you can stay here. I'll give you two eggs to help reduce the swelling."
Chang Tingting still really wanted to marry Ye Yifan, so she endured this grievance: "Okay, then I'll trouble Aunt Xiao."
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chang Tingting listening to her: "It's no trouble at all, it's nothing."
These past few days, besides managing the store, Hua Kai has been calling Ye Yifan every day, then visiting Ye Jianxiao every other day, and spending the rest of her time drawing clothing design sketches. She plans to wait for Ye Yifan to discuss this matter over the weekend, and then look for partners, preferably someone to compete with Chang Tingting's family. Time is too tight before the New Year, but the spring clothes after the New Year can directly suppress the Chang family.
The weekend arrived quickly, and Ye Yifan returned on Saturday night, having arranged to have dinner at Ye Jianxiao's place.
The flowers bloomed early, so she cooked two dishes. Seeing that it was almost time, she went to the door to check on them a few times.
Finally, after what seemed like the umpteenth time she came out, she finally saw Ye Yifan walking towards her from the other side.
Hua Kai ran up to him and said, "You're finally back."
Ye Yifan strode over and hugged Hua Kai: "It's so cold, why did you come out? Didn't we agree that you didn't need to pick me up?"
Hua Kai looked up at Ye Yifan and said, "I want to see you sooner."
Ye Yifan patted Hua Kai's head: "I missed you."
Hua Kai smiled and nodded: "I know, I miss you too."
Ye Yifan's lips were turned up in a smile as he held Hua Kai's hand and said, "It's cold outside, let's talk when we get home."
Hua Kai followed Ye Yifan back to the courtyard.
Once inside, Ye Yifan took off his cotton-padded coat and talked about what had been going on at work this week. He mentioned that a machine at the factory had broken down and they were repairing it for the past few days, and that they had a lot of orders and had hired more people at the factory. In short, Ye Yifan had been very busy this week.
Ye Jianxiao said, "Doing business always involves a lot of worry. When you first started your businesses, you were always incredibly busy. But things will get better once they stabilize."
Ye Yifan said, "Grandpa is right. Once the business in the provincial capital is stable, we need to train more trusted confidants. When we open more branches, these people will be able to handle things independently, and Kai Kai and I won't have to do everything ourselves."
Ye Jianxiao said, "It's okay for you to be a little tired since you're a boy, but we can't let Kai Kai get too tired."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm not that fragile, and I can't fall too far behind Yi Fan either. I have to work hard too."
