"It's okay, I didn't take it to heart."
Sang Ning smiled and handed her a lobster, comforting her, "It's good that we talked it out, don't take it to heart."
"I'll specially mix a shade just for you as a gift."
"Such a good thing?" Monet was delighted.
Sang Ning laughed, "Just tell me if you want it or not."
"Yes, I absolutely have to! It's a gift my best friend specially made for me, I'd be a fool not to accept it."
Monet beamed, and Fimmonloa exclaimed, "I want one too!"
"Ningning, you can't favor one over the other. I'm your sister too."
Yes, I won't forget you.
What about ours?
Luo Tianya and the others weren't going to be outdone. Sang Ning hesitated for two seconds, "You guys want lipstick too?"
"I feel like you won't need it."
"You're wrong about that."
Luo Tianya glanced at the back of the chair and said emphatically, "You can't assume we're useless just because we're men. We have female family members."
That makes sense.
Mu Tao nodded in agreement, then added, "Actually, if the color is suitable, we can use it ourselves too."
Sang Ning burst out laughing.
"You can only choose one: for personal use or for family."
Okay, since we've come this far, let's do it together.
She laughed and said, "But let's make this clear first: if you're using it yourself, I'll adjust the colors according to your personal style; if you're giving it to your family, I'll adjust the colors to suit most people. You can decide for yourselves."
So, a group of people started discussing whether to use it themselves or give it to their families.
Luo Tianya, Clyde, and Philoya chose their families.
Louis Monet and his family chose to use it themselves.
The Qin brothers made the same choice as Luo Tianya.
After writing it down, Sang Ning said, "No problem, just wait to receive the gift."
The atmosphere became cheerful again.
After a good night's sleep, Sang Ning sat in the living room of the Qin family manor and began frantically ordering raw materials from the black market and online shopping websites.
I have to commend the courier group that has a fixed-point spatial jump point; they're really impressive.
Intergalactic express delivery: the courier group can deliver the goods intact to the buyer within three hours of receiving them.
For interstellar shipments, delivery can take anywhere from eight or nine hours to 24 hours.
Planet E72 and several other impoverished planets are excluded because they lack star orbits and therefore cannot establish fixed-point space jump points.
Therefore, if the goods are sent to planet E72, the arrival time will be longer.
Delivery can take anywhere from 36 hours to a week or even half a month.
However, Sang Ning is no longer on planet E72, but on Xuan Yun Star, a planet with a developed economy and transportation.
This resulted in all the items she ordered arriving before 8 p.m. that evening.
The two packages that arrived last were a batch of medicinal herbs she had ordered from the black market, which had traveled across a star system.
Monet and the others unpacked packages until their hands went numb, and by the end, the whole group was almost exhausted.
When the Qin brothers returned, they were dumbfounded to see the living room piled high with all sorts of things, leaving almost no room to step.
"Why did you buy so many flowers and plants?"
"They are all raw materials for making skincare and makeup products."
Sang Ning was busy sorting and classifying things with Ellie and the others when she heard the sound. Without looking up, she asked Qin Yan, "Qin, when will the workshop I asked for be completed?"
"Wait a moment, let me ask." Qin Yan opened his terminal and contacted the engineer.
Two minutes later, he replied, "If nothing unexpected happens, you can officially start work when you wake up tomorrow."
"So efficient?"
"Absolutely. The engineer is a big shot in our Qin family. I wouldn't have used him if it weren't for my two series."
Sang Ning smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Just a thank you?"
Sang Ning looked up at him and said, "I don't need to thank you for such a great favor. I thought we were mutually beneficial."
"That's true, but I'm too greedy, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
Qin Yan spoke with righteous indignation, while Sang Ning fell silent. To be able to speak of shamelessness so frankly, he was truly a talented person.
She remained silent for a long time, and just as Qin Heng thought she was angry and about to explain, she said—
What do you want?
"Give me a bone setting treatment."
Qin Yan twisted his neck, looking somewhat pained, and said, "My cervical spine has been uncomfortable lately, it's really painful, lying in the medical pod isn't helping."
Sang Ning beckoned to him, "Come here, let me see what's wrong with you."
Qin Yan said "oh," walked over, squatted down next to her, and very consciously stretched out his hand for her.
"I won't take your pulse."
Sang Ning pinched his neck, asked how he felt, and then confirmed, "Cervical spondylosis and frozen shoulder, it's quite serious."
"Your simple bone setting is no longer effective; let's combine it with acupuncture!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan immediately recalled how he had accidentally knocked his younger brother unconscious with a door panel, leaving his brother's head covered in needles.
"Is it necessary to get acupuncture?"
Luo Tianya, as if discovering a new continent, asked, "Are you afraid of needles?"
Is this even possible?
Qin Heng looked over and said jokingly, "Brother, don't be afraid, trust me, the needle won't hurt."
These words only made Qin Yanxin more flustered.
He looked at Sang Ning and asked again, "Is acupuncture necessary?"
"Yes."
Sang Ning didn't keep him in suspense any longer and pressed down on his cervical spine with her finger, causing Qin Yan to cry out in pain.
"You're already in the middle stage; just setting the bones won't help without acupuncture."
"Of course, I don't mind if you insist, but you'll have to bear the relapse if it happens, since I'm going back."
