Chapter 64 I'm Not Your Mother

After returning home from shopping, Ruan Xingmian was so tired that she almost vomited.

I was so excited while shopping that when I got home I didn't want to move my hands or feet, only my eyes were rolling around.

It feels good to spend money, but it’s exhausting to organize clothes. I have to take a shower before I can go to bed, and I feel exhausted and desperate.

I opened my phone and saw Wenzhu’s call from half an hour ago.

Ruan Xingmian sat cross-legged on the sofa and replied to Wen Zhu's message.

As he glanced at Gu Xing who was actively sorting out today's spoils, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The academic genius has a strong learning ability and good execution ability.

Following Ruan Xingmian's example, I cut off the tags on new clothes and put them in the laundry basket. I also cut off the tags on coats that don't need to be washed often, hung them on solid wooden hangers, sprayed them with dry cleaning spray, and hung them on the balcony to air dry.

Cover the shoes with dustproof cloth and put them in a suitable acrylic shoe cabinet.

Put the garbage into bags, store the used bags, and finally clean the floor. Throw the new clothes that need to be rinsed into the washing machine, wash them for fifteen minutes and hang them up to dry. Only then is today's street shopping complete.

They are all fragmented words without any technical content, and many people often lack the patience and carefulness to do so.

For example, what needs to be watered and what does not.

Whether machine washing or hand washing, details of life are everywhere.

Underwear cannot be machine washed...

Ruan Xingmian's head buzzed, and he stood up from the sofa, "Gu Xing, don't touch the last bag!"

She was so anxious that she jumped off the sofa and onto the carpet. Gu Xing threw away the things in his hands, ran towards her and hugged her.

She clearly heard him sigh a long sigh: "Be careful."

Ruan Xingmian chuckled, crawled out of his arms, took the bag of underwear without leaving a trace, and hid it behind him.

She will wash it quietly tomorrow when Gu Xing is not at home.

Ruan Xingmian sat back and secretly stuffed the bag under the sofa pillow.

Find a comfortable position, curl up on the sofa, and answer Wenzhu's call.

"Mianmian, after listening to me, my mom thought about it for two days and decided to come to City A with me to sell sushi. We've already gotten off the train and just returned to the rental house. I brought you some local specialties. Will you be home tomorrow?"

Wenzhu's tone was very excited.

A few days ago, she received a call from Mianmian, who intended to transfer the entire sushi restaurant to her and suggested that she bring her mother along.

Ruan Xingmian likes to observe a person during their daily interactions. Wenzhu is hardworking, considerate, and very particular about hygiene.

He also likes to talk about his mother's cooking skills.

On the night he decided to start the company, Ruan Xingmian decided who to entrust the sushi to.

In addition, Gu Xing's income increased suddenly, so she no longer had to count on her fingers to plan her weekly expenses and save money for having a baby.

She was confident and decided to take drastic measures. Sushi would be a burden to her.

Moreover, after her appetite improved, she became sleepier. Even if she went to bed early and got up late, she would feel drowsy all day long.

The baby is growing up and entering the first growth spurt. I am trying to tell her in this way - eat well and lie down well, Ruan Xingmian, the baby is starting to grow up!

Ruan Xingmian planned to give them the mini program and specifically asked Gu Xing if it was okay. The other party's answer was a wet kiss.

After making an appointment with Wenzhu to come together for lunch at noon tomorrow and then discuss the transfer, Ruan Xingmian's phone slipped from his palm, his head tilted on the sofa, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In a daze, she felt someone rubbing her face, ears, and neck.

Then the hands.

When Ruan Xingmian realized someone was taking off her socks, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Only then did I realize that Gu Xing had changed into his pajamas, folded the carpet, and was kneeling on one knee in front of the sofa, preparing to put Ruan Xingmian's feet in hot water.

Ruan Xingmian stood up and uncomfortably put his feet back: "I, I can do it myself."

“I put the mugwort bag.”

Ruan Xingmian bent down to take off his socks and answered without any defense: "Yeah, you are so good."

She subconsciously still felt that she was 28 years old and Gu Xing was her younger brother.

Fortunately, the other party was praised for being well-behaved and did not argue with her. Instead, he dragged a chair over and stayed with her while she was soaking.

Ruan Xingmian curled up on the sofa, soaking her tired feet in the warm water and letting out a comfortable sigh.

"Gu Xing, I'm so happy." She would be even happier if her mother could pay attention to her and her sister could stay away from the Lu family.

Gu Xing just looked at her seriously, occasionally bending down to roll up the hem of her skirt.

Whenever his hands touched Ruan Xingmian's knees and calves, it would always cause goose bumps.

The longer Ruan Xingmian soaked in the bath, the longer the goose bumps stood up.

Ruan Xingmian was sweating and felt uncomfortable, so he cheered up and took a shower. Because he had eaten barbecue, there was inevitably a smell, so he gritted his teeth and washed his head as well.

Coming out of the bathroom, Ruan Xingmian was completely exhausted. Standing in the bathroom, he called out to Gu Xing: "I have no strength left..."

People should not be stubborn when they should show weakness. Ruan Xingmian received the first princess hug in his life.

She was held on my lap and her hair was blown.

She looked down at the hair dryer that had been plugged in early and the small stool that had been placed there. She thought that Gu Xing had made preparations before she gave in.

When she was put on the bed, Ruan Xingmian rolled into the quilt comfortably, received a goodnight kiss, and fell asleep shyly and sweetly.

When I'm about to fall asleep, I always feel like I've forgotten something.

Until the next morning she woke up hungry and walked out of the bedroom to look for food.

There was no one on the sofa, everything was neatly put away, and the carpet was laid out.

Ruan Xingmian suddenly had an idea in his mind. He walked over and pulled away the pillow, but his mind went blank - there was nothing underneath the pillow.

She looked towards the balcony as usual, and sure enough, they were all hanging there.

Neat and tidy, not one left out.

Fluttering in the wind, so cheerful.

Ruan Xingmian screamed like a groundhog in her heart, wondering what Gu Xing was thinking when he was taking a shower last night.

It's new, but it's embarrassing.

Oh my God, I’m going to die.

As the baby grew, her breasts began to feel uncomfortable. Ruan Xingmian posted a message in the circle asking for help, and many experienced sisters suggested that she buy maternity underwear.

Influenced by her childhood aesthetic taste, she likes pink, yellow and green, so she chose a set of light pink, a set of cream yellow, and a set of light green.

Now she was too embarrassed to see Gu Xing.

It’s even more embarrassing to ask - did you wash my underwear in the washing machine?

If it was washed, Gu Xing would be beaten by her, even if he was handsome.

Ruan Xingmian kept this question in mind while finishing the breakfast that Gu Xing brought from outside.

After eating, I started to feel sleepy again, but I was still worried about whether her beautiful underwear had been put into the washing machine.

Gu Xing was typing at his desk when he noticed her moving around behind him. He raised his hand and turned around, rotating his chair to face her.

"What's wrong?"

Ruan Xingmian bravely fought against her shame and pointed at the underwear on the balcony: "Did you throw them in the washing machine?"

"No." Gu Xing answered without blushing or beating his heart, "I washed it myself."

Ruan Xingmian's head buzzed and his ears felt hot.

He tilted his head slightly and said, "You said that underwear and socks don't go in the washing machine. There's a special basin for them. I wash socks too."

Not only that, even the floor was mopped.

What else could Ruan Xingmian say? He laughed twice and complained in his heart - Brother, you are so energetic.

She answered perfunctorily, dragged her shy feet back to the house, and got into bed.

She advised herself to wash it back for him later.

I turned over and thought again - I won’t wash him.

Before ten o'clock, Wenzhu and her daughter arrived.

Wenzhu's mother's surname is Zhao, and Ruan Xingmian calls her sweetly "Aunt Zhao" all the time, smiling shyly.

After dinner, Gu Xing rolled up his sleeves to clean the kitchen, letting Wen Zhu take the lead.

Gu Xing took the tablet into the bedroom and never came out.

He could see that Wenzhu and her daughter felt particularly uncomfortable when he was around.

Ruan Xingmian was impressed by his attentiveness.

The three of them sat in front of the electric heating table, and Ruan Xingmian took out the transfer contract and employment notice that he had prepared in advance.

"Sister Wenzhu, my advice to you is to spend 20,000 yuan to transfer all your skills. Once your aunt is able to work independently, sign this employment contract."

The contract is settled with Xingmian Culture Co., Ltd.

Wenzhu's heart was burning with anger. She thought that Mianmian had transferred the sushi to her and was breaking up with her.

I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful.

"Twenty thousand is too little, Mimi." The sushi sauce recipe plus the mini program would cost at least seventy or eighty thousand, not to mention a customer base of thousands.

Ruan Xingmian made the final decision: "I am the seller, no bargaining."

She smiled and talked with the mother and daughter about the next arrangements.

"You need to move to a new house closer to school first, and come here every day at noon to learn how to make sushi. Sister Wenzhu, you also need to teach Aunt Zhao how to read the backstage and how to collect bills."

Wenzhu nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay."

They talked about some details. Wenzhu didn't have enough money, so she paid 10,000 first and wrote down the outstanding amount by hand.

Ruan Xingmian didn't stop her. She liked people who were clear about their finances.

I am most afraid of people who are obsessed with money. It makes me annoyed just by looking at them.

This is also what she likes about asparagus fern.

After finally finishing the conversation, Ruan Xingmian yawned loudly.

Wenzhu and her daughter said goodbye.

Ruan Xingmian walked them to the door and picked up five large grapefruits for them to take away: "Thank you, Aunt Zhao, for the chili sauce you brought me. It smells delicious. The sushi you make must be delicious."

Aunt Zhao was coaxed into softening her heart, and the anxiety she had felt when she first arrived in the big city gradually dissipated.

As soon as the door closed, Ruan Xingmian's body softened and he leaned against the door panel to catch his breath.

"Gu Xing..."

She was too sleepy to move again.

Before Gu Xing came out of the bedroom, the doorbell rang.

Ruan Xingmian straightened up. Did he forget to take something?

She opened the door and gave a smile.

When I saw the person at the door, tears began to overflow from my smile.

She said in a soft voice: "Mom..."

Li Xue frowned and said in a cold and hard tone, "I'm not your mother."
