Now, she runs a brand clothing store with her own original designs. Every day is busy, fulfilling and happy. She no longer has the strong sense of oppression and suffocation she had when working under her father.
However, such freedom comes at a price.
For example, she was kicked out of her home... Even the house under her name was taken back by her parents...
For example, all the money in her bank card was frozen, and only some of the money in WeChat could be frozen...
During the year she was out on her own, she relied almost entirely on the support of her best friend Lu Xiao, and only then did she finally make it out step by step.
Today, she has been able to make her career better and better and has achieved considerable profits.
In this way, after paying off the money she borrowed from Lu Xiao, she was still able to keep some savings for herself. Although she couldn't buy a house with those savings at the moment, it was completely enough for her to support herself.
After she had money, she moved out of the small single room she had rented and moved into the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment she rents now.
She had originally planned the use of the three rooms. The master bedroom would be used for living, and the remaining two bedrooms would be used as a study, where she would draw drafts and file documents; and the other would be used to store samples for easy use.
However, just a few days ago, her best friend Lu Xiao, who was far away in Country M, suddenly asked her for an urgent favor, causing her to temporarily break up her plans for the room.
Lu Xiao at the time: [Yaoyao, do you still remember my cousin Lu Zhan? He was the adorable kid who was so cool and aloof when he was little, the one you said had really long and beautiful eyelashes!]
Chen Yao: [Remember? Didn't he immigrate to Country M with his family when he was eight? Why are you mentioning him suddenly?]
Lu Xiao: [It's like this, I just found out that he suddenly returned to China alone, saying that he had some things to deal with.]
Lu Xiao: [But our family is worried about him going back alone. After all, he hasn't been back alone in all these years. And no one in our family has the time to go back with him now...]
Lu Xiao: [So I was thinking, why not let him stay at your place for a few days? It'll be a transition for him, and I'll have someone to look after him. Once he's settled in, we can move him to a hotel.]
Lu Xiao's family and her uncles and aunts' families have all moved to Country M one after another. They have long since sold their homes in China and rarely come back. They don't have any close relatives left here.
She asked Chen Yao for help because she couldn't find anyone else she knew.
Chen Yao: [Okay, of course. We're friends. I have a lot of rooms here, so I can easily spare one for him to stay in for a while.]
So, as soon as Lu Zhan got off the plane today, he took his luggage and took a taxi to Chen Yao's residence and stayed there temporarily.
According to Lu Xiao, Lu Zhan was determined not to trouble Chen Yao at first, and only told her that there was no problem at all for him to stay in the hotel alone.
But Lu Xiao made a video call to him at that time, with the camera pointed directly at Lucky, the Samoyed he had raised for several years. He then reached out and rubbed its furry head again and again, threatening Lu Zhan:
[If you don't agree to me, I will rub it like this every day when you're not around. Who knows, I might even kiss it like crazy!]
Lu Xiao knew best how much Lu Zhan disliked others carelessly rubbing his beloved pet, let alone kissing it.
As expected, Lu Zhan's heart trembled immediately, and his cold and handsome face froze. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded.
However, in order not to trouble Chen Yao further, he directly chose to get the address from Shen Yao and take a taxi there after getting off the plane, avoiding the trouble of Chen Yao picking him up at the airport.
In this way, Chen Yao cleaned up the room for him to live in while waiting for him to come.
When he finally arrived, Chen Yao was shocked as soon as she opened the door.
The difference between the 192cm tall, handsome, cool and noble man in front of me and the cool and cute eight-year-old kid many years ago is too big?
Perhaps the only thing that remains unchanged is the long and beautiful eyelashes?
Chen Yao was stunned for a long time before she spoke to confirm his identity: "You are..."
The man politely said his name: "Lu Zhan."
Only then did Chen Yao take him into the house.
After helping him put away his luggage, Chen Yao continued to pack her personal belongings in the living room and moved them all to her room.
Lu Zhan was also packing the luggage he brought with him in his room.
Just like that, after many years, the two people who met for the first time started by quietly packing up their things.
Not long after, the takeaway that Chen Yao had ordered in advance arrived.
After washing their hands, they sat together awkwardly and had a meal.
Chen Yao: [I was worried you wouldn't be used to Chinese food, so I ordered Western food.]
Lu Zhan: [Thank you, thank you for your help.]
Chen Yao: [Oh, by the way, you should be... 20 years old this year?]
Lu Zhan raised his eyes and nodded.
Those eyelashes that were so beautiful that they made people tremble with fear dealt a heavy blow to Chen Yao.
Tsk, how could someone combine coolness and dignity with contrasting cuteness so well?
Could it be...
This is...
Little wolfdog...and...little puppy...?
Chen Yao took a sip of the ice drink, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
After finishing the meal, Lu Zhan took the initiative to stand up and clear the table.
Chen Yao looked at his tall and straight figure, the elegance and dignity emanating from his every move, and the image of him lowering his head and carefully packing up the lunch boxes, and inexplicably felt that he looked a little obedient.
After helping him clean up the table, Chen Yao considered that he had come here exhausted and must want to have a good rest first, so she let him go back to his room first.
She also went back to take a shower and sleep.
When I wake up again, it will be now——
After having such a strange dream, I am now taking in the plot of the small world.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yao began to understand the story about Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan just turned 20 this year, four years younger than her who is 24 years old. He is currently studying at a prestigious foreign university and is a true academic master.
In addition, he is also a young technology upstart. Without the knowledge of his family, he co-founded a technology company with a friend in China. The company's development trend is very rapid and has great potential.
He returned to China this time to deal with some things with that friend.
The story ends here.
After Chen Yao understood what was going on, she slowly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Because of her [susceptible constitution], she felt a little uncomfortable after having that difficult dream, so she planned to take a shower and change clothes first.
