Chapter 107 Missed Opportunity
It was getting late and Lu Jingshen had to go to work tomorrow, so Ai Xiaoxia didn't want to disturb him anymore. She went back to the room and lay down.
Before she fell asleep, she heard Lu Jingshen knocking on the door and asking her if she was asleep.
"I'm not asleep yet." Ai Xiaoxia answered while putting on her shoes and opening the door.
Lu Jingshen took out a jewelry box from behind him and handed it to Ai Xiaoxia: "This is for you. I didn't know it would take so long to make this kind of jewelry. It was originally a love gift for you, but I didn't expect it to be a business opening gift."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled as she listened. She took the jewelry box and said, "It doesn't matter when it was given to me. What matters is that you gave it to me. Can I see it now?"
Lu Jingshen nodded: "Of course."
Ai Xiaoxia opened the box and was amazed at the gold and jade Magpie Bridge pendant: "How beautiful."
Seeing that Ai Xiaoxia liked it, Lu Jingshen was very happy: "I design bridges. The Magpie Bridge represents love, so I drew this myself and had it custom-made. I hope you like it."
Ai Xiaoxia really likes it. She doesn’t like jewelry that looks too luxurious, but she is very fond of artistic things like this.
As she flipped through the pictures, she said, "It's really beautiful. I never thought anyone could make a Magpie Bridge ornament. It's so complicated. You must have put a lot of effort into it, right?"
Lu Jingshen smiled and said, "It's enough that you like it. I will design one for you in the future, one for you every year. You can only wear the ones I design in the future."
Ai Xiaoxia also smiled: "How can I refuse such a good thing?"
"Silly girl, it's getting late. Go to bed early. You still have a lot to do tomorrow." Lu Jingshen's tone was full of pampering.
"Okay, then I'll go back to the house." Ai Xiaoxia agreed and went back to the house.
But at this time, Lu Jing put his hand on the door frame, blocking Ai Xiaoxia from returning to the house. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Did you forget something?"
Ai Xiaoxia thought about it for a moment, then reacted and kissed Lu Jingshen on the cheek: "Good night."
Lu Jingshen kissed Ai Xiaoxia on the forehead, then whispered in her ear, "Wife, we need to hurry up and start our relationship. I'm anxious to consummate our marriage."
Ai Xiaoxia blushed at her teasing, slipped out from under his arm, ran back to the house and closed the door.
Leaning against the door, Ai Xiaoxia held the jewelry box and smiled sweetly. This guy sometimes gets a little frivolous, which really makes her more moved.
Lu Jingshen returned to the room, leaned on the bed and smiled, "Little girl, I will be back to our big bed soon."
The next day, when Lu Jingshen left for work, he did not wake Ai Xiaoxia up. She was indeed tired yesterday, so he let her sleep a little longer and put breakfast in the pot.
It was already eight o'clock when Ai Xiaoxia got up. Although she didn't go to bed late yesterday, she was really tired and exhausted. She slept until this time, got up and looked at the sunlight. She knew it was late without looking at the clock.
Ai Xiaoxia stretched, put on her clothes, got up, washed, and had breakfast, smiling while eating. Lu Jingshen was really a good man. The feeling of being in love with him was as sweet as the romance novels she read in her previous life.
As she was thinking about it, the phone rang and it was her sister Ai Xiaoping who answered it.
Ai Xiaoping heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Ai Xiaoxia's voice: "Sister, you finally answered the phone. I called you several times yesterday, but no one was home."
Ai Xiaoxia was afraid that her sister was in danger, so she quickly asked, "Are you okay?"
Ai Xiaoping said, "I'm fine, sister. Mom went to the city yesterday. After she left, I went to the village to call you, but no one answered your house."
Ai Xiaoxia was relieved to hear that Ai Xiaoping was fine. She also sighed, a little disappointed: "I had something to do yesterday. I really didn't expect it to be so annoying."
Ai Xiaoping also asked Ai Xiaoxia with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"
Ai Xiaoxia said: "I'm fine. By the way, when did Mom come home? Is there anything unusual?"
"He came back around 3:00 in the afternoon and didn't seem very happy. He didn't eat much at night."
"I understand. Next time Mom goes to the city, please call me."
"Well, sister, when will you be back?"
"I'll go back in a few days when I have time. I'll buy you new clothes when I get back."
"No need, sister. Even if I buy it, I may not be able to wear it. How can sister-in-law not grab the good things?"
"Next year, I'll find you a temporary school and bring you to the city to attend middle school. Then you can take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school, and you won't be going back."
"Sister, how much does that cost? No, I can't let you get into trouble and let my brother-in-law's family have a problem with you."
"Don't overthink it, kid. I know what's going on."
"Thank you, sister."
"Okay, stop talking to me about this. You're in the countryside, right? Buy whatever you want to eat. I'll give you the money when I get back."
"Okay, I understand, sister. If nothing else, I'll hang up. The phone bill is expensive."
"You should also return to the village early."
"Okay, bye, sis."
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Ai Xiaoxia still felt a little disappointed. After all, she had missed this opportunity and didn't know how long she had to wait. Meng Qiuju couldn't go to the city often.
Perhaps Ai Xiaoxia secretly hopes that Ai Weimin and Meng Qiuju are not her biological parents, because if they are not her biological parents, at least she won't feel so overwhelmed.
But Ai Xiaoxia was increasingly suspicious. She was a girl. If she wasn't from the Ai family, why would they trade her in? It wouldn't make any sense. Wasn't it unnecessary to trade a girl for another?
Ai Xiaoxia's head hurt from thinking so much, she packed her bag and went to the store.
As soon as she walked out of the compound gate, she saw a Xiangju clothing store opened across the street. The air was filled with the smell of firecrackers. It should be He Xiangju's clothing store that had opened. She had been busy recently and had not paid attention to these things, but these would not have any impact on Ai Xiaoxia. She hailed a taxi and went to the store.
It was already past nine o'clock and the shops had started opening.
She went upstairs. Sun Qiang was not there, only the store manager was there. He said that Sun Qiang had gone to the brewery and the previous price for delivering beer was not suitable. There happened to be a brewery nearby, so Sun Qiang went to negotiate on his own.
Ai Xiaoxia hung the cotton-padded jacket in the office, then went downstairs to the kitchen to find Fang Lan'e.
Fang Lan'e prepared all the ingredients. She was busy but not busy at the same time, as she was busy with all sorts of things.
Ai Xiaoxia watched Fang Lan'e busying herself, but her attitude towards life was still very appealing: "Xiao'e, are you tired?"
Fang Lan'e came to Ai Xiaoxia's side and pulled her to a place where there were no people. "I'm not tired. I'm in a good mood. I'm happy to work every day."
"We have to open a branch next year, and you'll have a lot of responsibilities in the future."
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of being busy. Don't let me be idle."
"I know you love to work, okay?"
"If you know, don't delay my work. I'll talk to you when I'm free in the afternoon. I have a lot of things to do. I'm going to go get busy now."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled: "Okay, okay, okay, if the boss had employees like you, he would be really happy."
Fang Lan'e also laughed: "Hurry up and find a place to laugh secretly. I don't have time to be crazy with you." Then she went back to continue her work.
