"Um, Xiao Qiu, are you sure you want me to wear this?" Lan Ling couldn't believe it as he pointed to the dress on Xiao Qiu's hand. He didn't dare imagine that he could actually wear this.
Even if he had worn it once, it was only on a whim to see his woman's appearance. Now, he wouldn't be stopped by anything, so after thinking it through, he returned to his usual work clothes.
"Yeah, is there a problem? I think it's quite suitable for you." Xiao Qiu also took a look and felt that there were no problems, so she passed her hand over.
"Hurry up and wear it, otherwise I'll catch a cold. If anything happens to Yun Xuan, I won't be able to handle him by myself."
Xiao Qiu brought Duan Yunxuan out, but when Lan Ling heard this, he braced himself and accepted it. After putting it on, she looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel absent-minded.
It was a warm yellow dress, and would make people feel that it was gentler than usual.'s hair had already grown a lot longer now, and now, it seemed that it was even more ladylike than before.
"See, I told you that it suits you. My eyesight is still quite good."
Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Qiu returned to her bedroom and leaned against the door with her arms crossed in front of her chest to look at Lan Ling's current appearance.
She, who had yet to come back to her senses, when she suddenly heard Xiao Qiu's voice, and her face couldn't help but turn red, as if she was an extremely shy girl.
"What are you making fun of, I'm just saying the truth, look at yourself, isn't your current self much more pleasing to the eye than before. I know you need to be strict with everyone in the army, but you have to treat yourself better now and then, or else you'll live in this world and come here for nothing."
Xiao Qiu put her hand down, walked to Lan Ling's side, and raised her chin so that she could look straight at him in the mirror, his words full of encouragement.
Lan Ling's thoughts moved slightly. It had to be said that she started to waver a little when he heard Xiao Qiu's words.
"Well, maybe I can try." When she heard his words, she couldn't help but laugh, nodding her head in satisfaction as if she was looking at a child.
"Alright, let's put this matter to rest. Let's go eat first."
Xiao Qiu held Lan Ling's hand, and the two of them walked over to the dining table, only to see that the table was filled with dishes, and when Lan Ling saw the clothes, he could not help but swallow his saliva.
Seeing it now, that hunger once again surged up. She did not have the time to tell Xiao Qiu anything, and took the initiative to pick up her chopsticks to start eating.
The na
y stood beside Xiao Qiu and looked at Lan Ling with disdain. In the end, she could not hold it in and directly spoke: "Madam, is she your friend? Why is she so uncultured?
Xiao Qiu was originally very happy, and was also very satisfied with the current Na
y, but she didn't expect her words to be so disgusting.
The smile on her face immediately disappeared, and after Lan Ling heard this, he embarrassedly laughed, but he did not stop his hand's movement, and continued to stuff everything into his mouth.
"What I'm going to say is, what kind of people are they playing with? You must be an exception. How could a knowledgeable woman like Madam know a friend like you?"
The na
y's words were becoming more and more excessive, because she was standing on the right side of Xiao Qiu and did not notice the expression on her face.
"Aunt Su, I only chose not to argue with you because you treated Hong Yuan really well, but since you said it like this, I don't really want to continue listening to you."
Lan Ling didn't have that much time to argue with the na
y, filling his stomach was the most important. But Xiao Qiu was different, because of the na
y's words, she immediately lost his appetite.
The na
y did not expect Xiao Qiu to stand up for her just because she said Lan Ling.
"Madam, I definitely do not have any other intentions. It's just that, seeing that this lady does not care about the etiquette at the table, I could not help but say a few more words."
"Don't you know who you are and who I am? I hired you with money. In other words, if I don't like you, I can use the same price to hire someone I like."
Xiao Qiu neither lightly nor heavily slapped the table, but her actions, in the eyes of the maid, had actually delivered a heavy blow in her heart.
Her face immediately became much paler, and her lips started to tremble uncontrollably. She couldn't figure out where she said the wrong words, and it actually made Xiao Qiu angry.
"She is my friend and her status is naturally higher than yours. How can you afford to offend her? Although this is already a society ruled by law, you still have to follow some rules to take my money and do things for me." Xiao Qiu had changed from her usual kind and friendly appearance. At this time, her eyes were filled with coldness, and she was not willing to show any face.
The na
y's body trembled like a sieve as her mind began to go blank. She was afraid that if she said another word, she would be completely thrown out.
"Burp. This dish is really well cooked. Who did it?" Lan Ling finally had a feeling of being full, and after placing down the tableware, he asked with a grin.
"Na
y made it."
Xiao Qiu saw that after Lan Ling said those words, his face changed from cold and detached to gentle, the speed at which his face changed was extremely fast, causing people to be shocked.
Oh, it's a babysitter. It seems like we haven't been babysitters for all these years, so the cooking skills must be extremely rare. I know that my eating skills are a bit ugly, but I also eat like that in the army.
Lan Ling chuckled, he did not take the Na
y's words to heart at all, and instead spoke in a reasonable ma
er to her.
The na
y wanted nothing more than to slap herself in the face, to think that a blind person would say such words to a person like Lan Ling who had made a huge contribution. If it was a normal little hoodlum, then whatever, he was someone fighting at the front lines of life and death!
"I'm sorry, miss. Please forgive me this time, but I will never do this again."
The na
y bowed deeply to the two of them, waiting for them to forgive her, or else she would not get up.
The two of them looked at each other, and Lan Ling raised his eyebrow, making her speak.
Xiao Qiu coughed slightly, cleared her throat, and said: "On the account that you have good intentions, I will no longer hold you accountable. But if I were to hear such bad words again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
