Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Brother?
"I know," Qin Yang interrupted him and went to the cafeteria with his food tray.
Bai Xiaoming shook his head as he watched his retreating figure. Getting married really changes a man. If it were in the past, when would Mr. Qin inquire about taking leave for holidays?
...
The autumn wind rustled the leaves, producing a whooshing sound.
The sunlight was bright, and the azure sky seemed freshly washed.
Yet, before Qin Yang’s eyes, everything seemed shrouded in fog, unclear.
Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from ahead, the unique tone of a woman that brought comfort and made one feel at ease.
"Here are your buns, take care."
"Madam, buying buns again, five of them? Alright."
"Sir, you’re early. How were yesterday’s buns? Wanting so many again today, please wait."
...
A smile inadvertently curved Qin Yang’s lips; his Lin Chuxia always had such an infectious effect, her voice could always gently soothe one’s emotions, no matter when.
Following the voice, the fog in front of him suddenly cleared, revealing Lin Chuxia busily working in front of a small Bun Shop.
Her smile was warm and friendly, skillfully handing buns and change to customers.
She always managed to exchange a few words with the customers.
Suddenly, her watery eyes glanced this way, her eyes crinkling with joy, "Qin Yang, you’re back, are you hungry? Come try some buns."
Qin Yang grinned, showing his white teeth, and nodded vigorously, reaching out to take the bun.
The scene before him suddenly shifted, and the woman disappeared.
Qin Yang frantically searched around, finally hearing Lin Chuxia’s voice outside a room.
He gently pushed open the door, and there was Lin Chuxia in a sharp suit, looking just like those female bosses from the south in the newspapers, her hair even styled in the popular big waves of the south.
It was undeniable, Lin Chuxia appeared strong and commanding in this look, and it was captivating.
Just as he was about to approach, another figure got there first, placing a cup of water diligently in front of Lin Chuxia, "Boss, here’s your water with sugar added, please taste and see if it’s sweet enough."
The person was exceptionally pretty, with skin even fairer than a woman’s, delicate as a flower in the wind.
Before Lin Chuxia could lift the cup, another robust figure strode over, "Boss, these are cookies I bought on the way here, please try them to see if they’re good, and this flower too, it suits you well, a gift for you."
Lin Chuxia took the flower and sniffed it, showing a satisfied smile, then looked at the cookies in his hand. As she reached to take them, the man held them higher and smiled suggestively, "Let me feed you."
Lin Chuxia smiled at him, parting her red lips slightly.
The man joyfully picked a cookie and brought it to her lips.
On the other side, the handsome man timely brought up a cup of tea, helping her drink.
Lin Chuxia spread her arms, each hand resting on one man’s shoulder, smiling as she enjoyed the attention from both.
Qin Yang felt as though a huge hand was gripping his heart, the pain making it difficult to breathe.
"Lin, Chuxia..."
He struggled to say the name, each word felt like a cut to his heart.
Lin Chuxia finally noticed him, her eyes crescent-shaped with joy, "Qin Yang, you’re back, come here, let me introduce you. These two are my capable assistants, from now on you guys will be brothers..."
Brother?
What brother?
Qin Yang wanted to ask, but he couldn’t utter a sound no matter how hard he tried.
He only saw two men, one frail and handsome, the other tall and robust, looking at him with a meaningful smile.
"Big brother, you just focus on your work. From now on, the boss will be taken care of by the two of us brothers, rest assured."
"We spend every day with the boss, and we understand him much better than you do, don’t worry, we won’t let the boss be wronged, just go on with your work and live your life."
"We won’t let the boss feel lonely, and definitely won’t let the boss be a grass widow, since you chose your work, don’t blame us brothers for taking advantage when you’re away."
"Xiaxia is such a great woman, she deserves a man to protect her at all times. What can you protect from thousands of miles away? A man like you deserves to be eliminated..."
"Get lost..." 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Qin Yang roared angrily and suddenly sat up from the bed.
His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and large sweat beads were dripping down his chin.
He looked around and gasped for air heavily.
He reached his hand to his chest, where there was still a lingering feeling of suffocation.
Closing his eyes, he could still envision the scene of Lin Chuxia being embraced from both sides.
Getting out of bed, he gulped down the cold water in the cup, and as Qin Yang stared out into the dark window, not knowing for how long, he turned on the desk lamp and spread out the writing paper again.
He felt that his wife’s days seemed a bit too exciting, as her husband, he must care a little.
Yes, he just wanted to check on her, whether the shop was manageable, what kind of people were helping out, whether his brothers should help, people outside are malicious, she must be more cautious, not to be deceived.
Qin Yang frowned and wrote the letter seriously.
After a week of renovation, the courtyard had completely transformed. Lin Chuxia walked through several rooms satisfied and then watched the workers as they modified the drainage.
This was an important part, if the drainage was not fixed properly, it would be troublesome if it got clogged later.
Su Wensong also understood the significance of the project, and he had been closely monitoring it these days.
"Will it be done in about two more days?" Lin Chuxia asked.
"Once the drainage is fixed and the floor is tiled, the work will be done. The furniture will arrive this afternoon. Those two rooms only had their roofs repaired. If Sun Bingnan and his people want to move in, they can do so in the next couple of days, it won’t be a problem."
"That’s good, I’ll go back today and tell them. You don’t know, they’ve been looking forward to moving in," Sun Lanlan and Sun Bingnan were not outsiders, so Lin Chuxia mentioned them casually.
Su Wensong also smiled, feeling that their boss was a good person, considering everyone so thoughtfully, working with Lin Chuxia was his wisest decision.
"Since the project is about to be completed, talk with the boss at the meat shop, see how much meat and offal he can provide. Not only does the price need to be favorable, but the quality must also be guaranteed, especially the quality, don’t be sloppy. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, let’s strive to get the cooked food ready before the festival to boost the sales."
These days, people’s living conditions were generally not strong, but people were still willing to spend money during festivals, aside from Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival was also a major festival everyone valued.
"Alright, I’ll go this afternoon."
Su Wensong agreed and looked at Lin Chuxia hesitantly.
Lin Chuxia glanced sideways, "Is there something else?"
"It is a bit, if we are going to do cooked food, do we need to hire one or two more staff?"
Lin Chuxia put the paint on the windowsill aside, clapped her hands, "Do you have someone suitable?"
Preparing cooked food was labor-intensive, Lin Chuxia indeed planned to hire a couple more people.
