Sheng Yueqing wanted to help her, but she was afraid she wouldn't have the time.
"I'm afraid I might not have time to help you with my business after I take on more projects."
With He Yushen away, she didn't have extra time to take on private jobs; otherwise, she would have been willing to help Miss Qi.
Although Miss Qi was somewhat disappointed, she didn't blame her and still held her hand, saying, "Then help me choose some fabric."
"You have good judgment, so I trust you more."
All her friends used to claim to be fashionable, but none of them had the same taste as Sheng Yueqing.
The clothes that were chosen for her were not as suitable as those that Sheng Yueqing picked.
She had originally wanted to ask Sheng Yueqing for help, but she was afraid that she would be too busy and it would bother her.
I never expected to run into you here.
Sheng Yueqing also felt that Miss Qi was a nice person and had a good impression of her.
Compared to her politeness towards other young ladies, she was more genuine towards Miss Qi.
"Sure, I'll pick out a few for you."
"Let me give you some more ideas. If you tell the tailor my method, the result won't be bad."
Miss Qi was truly delighted.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Sheng Yueqing, familiar with the place, led her to a shop with novel fabrics.
That shop is located deep in an alley; you can't find it unless you look carefully.
The fabrics inside come in a wide variety of colors, including apricot, light pink, light purple, and even velvet.
These department stores don't have them.
The owner used to be a designer, but his family fell on hard times, so he came here to set up a stall.
However, she has many clients.
Sheng Yueqing is a loyal customer here.
"Boss, I brought a friend to choose some good ingredients."
Sheng Yueqing had come several times. Because of her sweet talk, she was even given cookies, and the fabric shop owner had a good impression of her.
"Xiao Sheng is here. Take your time picking out the best ones with your friend. We'll save them all for you."
Sheng Yueqing smiled sincerely, "Thank you so much."
Miss Qi was overwhelmed by the variety of fabrics this shop had to offer.
"There are so many colors! I've never seen so many colors abroad."
She reached out and touched it, then asked softly, "Will the color fade?"
She was afraid that the color would fade after wearing it only once, which would be embarrassing.
Sheng Yueqing assured her, "The color won't fade. The owner of this shop has been in the dyeing business for generations; they're very skilled."
"I buy all the fabric for my clothes here. Let me pick out two bolts for you."
Miss Qi is a woman with a bold and forthright personality, yet also possesses a touch of femininity; she is the kind of beauty that grows on you.
She is tall and slim, so she can't wear anything too tight, or it will accentuate her flaws.
Sheng Yueqing found her a black velvet piece and also brought some lace.
Tell her, "This velvet fabric is very comfortable and doesn't shed. Take it back and have a tailor make you a black fitted top. The rest can be used to make matching black velvet wide-leg pants."
"If you want a more feminine look, you can add a trim of lace around the neckline and cuffs."
"Like this."
She held up the two pieces of fabric to her body and added lace as embellishment.
Miss Qi's eyes lit up. "Beautiful, so beautiful!"
She immediately hugged the two pieces of cloth to her chest, afraid that someone would snatch them away.
Sheng Yueqing then picked out a plaid shirt for her.
"This brown plaid pattern is casual and stylish. You can take it home and wear it as a shirt. You can pair it with jeans, leather pants, or even a skirt."
"Tops are easier to match; they can be paired with vests or jackets."
Denim shirts are the easiest to match; they go with anything.
Miss Qi fell in love with it again, "Okay, I want this one too."
She looked at Sheng Yueqing with admiration, her eyes sparkling as she urged her to choose more.
Sheng Yueqing couldn't help but chuckle, finding Miss Qi quite adorable, and picked out a few more pieces of fabric suitable for her.
Finally, the two of them came out carrying a huge load of fabric.
Miss Qi quickly offered to help her carry it, saying, "Let me do it, let me do it."
Don't let her thin frame fool you, she's quite strong.
Sheng Yueqing asked, "Where's your car?"
Put it in the car first.
Miss Qi pointed to a spot not far away, "It's at the entrance of the vegetable market. If you can't drive in, you park outside."
She didn't bring any maids with her; she was carrying a huge pile all by herself.
Sheng Yueqing helped her take it out.
As soon as I got to the car door, I saw a familiar person.
"Huh?"
Is that my benefactor from a past life? What is he doing here?
Sheng Jingheng never expected to run into Sheng Yueqing again.
Seeing her with Miss Qi, he nodded to Sheng Yueqing.
Miss Qi ran over and called out to Sheng Jingheng, "Second Uncle Sheng."
Sheng Jingheng gave a curt "hmm" but didn't help her take what she was holding.
He only asked one question, "Did you come out with Sheng Yueqing?"
Miss Qi put her things down and shook her head. "No, we just bumped into each other here. Qingqing came here to buy something."
In just a short while, he's already calling her "Qingqing".
Sheng Yueqing smiled; she and Miss Qi Er always felt like they had been friends for many years.
Even though we're not close, it's like we've known each other for years.
Sheng Jingheng didn't ask any further questions, said he had other things to do, and left.
After he left, Miss Qi, holding Sheng Yueqing's arm, complained, "This Uncle Sheng is so cold and aloof, I'm scared just looking at him."
Sheng Yueqing was unaware of Sheng Jingheng's relationship with the Qi family and asked curiously, "You call him Second Uncle?" The other person looked quite young.
Miss Qi, who considered Sheng Yueqing a good friend, said, "Yes, Uncle Sheng seems to be a relative of my grandmother's generation. We are quite close."
“He’s ten years older than me. He’s always been cold and aloof, never showing any enthusiasm to anyone. I wouldn’t dare mess with him.”
Sheng Yueqing teased, "Judging from your childhood, you must have been the mischievous type. Did you do something wrong that your second uncle found out about?"
