The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 162: The Strange Route
Chapter 162: Chapter 162: The Strange Route
This afternoon, as Lin Shuang was preparing to meet with the designer of those two apples to sign the contract.
Su Wan was shopping with Lingmeng.
After eating roujiamo, the two girls stood up and headed to the small shop specializing in cosplay outfits that Lingmeng frequented.
The atmosphere was somewhat delicate—the two of them naturally hadn’t become close enough to walk arm in arm like good sisters.
But having just sat together to eat, their relationship had somewhat improved.
At least it was clear at a glance that they were out shopping together.
Instead of being mere strangers passing by.
Although it was Lingmeng who was leading the way, she walked a bit behind Su Wan, at her side.
Perhaps as a gesture of respect to the lady boss?
The lady boss is a nice person, something Lingmeng already knew.
Everyone at the "Green Plum" milk tea shop is pretty nice.
Except for the evil Boss Lin.
The two walked in silence around a corner, and Lingmeng tried to bring up the topic of the evil Boss Lin.
"Lady boss, I heard from Wenxue that you and the boss were childhood sweethearts, right?"
Su Wan paused for half a second before she connected "Wenxue" with "Fu Wenxue."
Such a tender nickname doesn’t really suit Wenxue’s big face!
But in the milk tea shop, Wenxue always sticks with Yang Deyou, perhaps she really has become gentler.
Recently, Wenxue has been nagging her to change her approach and try being gentler with Yang Deyou.
Su Wan wished her roommate success.
She tilted her head in reminiscence and smiled, "Childhood sweethearts, I guess you could say that~"
Playing house together as kids surely counts as being childhood sweethearts!
Lingmeng blinked and asked further, "Then between you and the boss, who pursued whom to officially start the relationship?"
Su Wan blurted out without hesitation, "Of course, he pursued me!"
Although actually, when it came to taking their relationship to the next level,
It was Su Wan who made the first move, who kissed him first.
But regarding this matter, Su Wan had already coerced Lin Shuang to always claim to others that he was the one who pursued her.
Su Wan added, "When we were in middle school, he insisted on picking me up and dropping me off every day, he always brought me food, and he even gave me small gifts every now and then."
These things had indeed all happened.
Thinking back on these memories, Su Wan couldn’t help but smile tenderly.
Lingmeng clasped her hands together, like making a gesture of "thank you for the treat."
Touched it!
"How romantic~ Both you and the boss are such a perfect match, that’s really wonderful."
Lingmeng laughed cheerfully, "The first time I saw you and the boss together, I thought you two were truly a match made in heaven~"
Su Wan was a bit confused by Lingmeng’s approach.
Is she trying to feign constructing the plank road while secretly crossing the Wei River?
Trying to catch her off guard and then steal a chance? Carrying away the big piglet from her home?
Or perhaps, Lingmeng doesn’t really have any special feelings for Lin Dasha? Is it just Lin Dasha having improper intentions towards her on his own?
No, no.
The look in one’s eyes when they like someone is something that can’t be hidden.
At the milk tea shop, Su Wan had caught Lingmeng stealing glances at Lin Dasha.
—That kind of look, Su Wan understood it very well.
Just like the way she used to secretly watch him on the way home from school after class.
She had just finished practicing piano, he had just finished playing basketball.
The drunken sunset, casting over his clearly contoured and sweaty cheeks, seemed as if it were edged with gold.
He gulped down the cola, remembering to leave the last sip for her.
"Here, this time I remembered to leave you the last sip, so don’t hit me, okay? ——Hmm? Wanwan, what are you daydreaming about?"
She pursed her lips, "Lin Dasha, you’re too handsome! I wonder which girl will get lucky with you in the future!"
Why not let it be me!
"Anyway, it won’t be you!"
So she grabbed the cola bottle and started chasing him, their shadows stretching very long under the setting sun.
Su Wan ended her reminiscence with a smile, trying to ask Lingmeng.
"Lingmeng, have you thought about having a relationship? You seem a few years older than us, right?"
Lingmeng touched her own cheek, "Ah~ Relationships are such a hassle, 2D is more suitable for me~"
She pointed to the end of the alley, "We are here, Boss~ right here."
The two girls passed a 24-hour adult store and walked into the alley.
This was, after all, the first place where Lingmeng met Lin Shuang.
At that time, she thought Lin Shuang’s car was cool, like the ones from some 2D anime shows, so she took a photo.
While photographing, she saw a very handsome guy holding a very pretty girl, lingering in front of the 24-hour adult store.
—That was the first scene where Lingmeng saw Lin Shuang.
Many years later, recollecting this event, she curiously asked Lin Shuang, "Master! Why were you blushing back then, while Ayao looked so eager to check out the place?"
By now, Lingmeng still doesn’t know who the girl next to Lin Shuang was.
She sneaked a glance at Su Wan walking beside her, wondering whether the Boss knew who that girl was.
Of course, she dared not voice such a question.
Anyway... Boss Lin really must be a big bad guy.
Evil Boss Lin!
The two girls, each with their own thoughts, walked into the cosplay specialty store.
As soon as they entered, their wild imaginations ceased.
The charm of pretty dresses is endless for girls.
"There are such treasure troves!"
"As long as you like it, Boss."
Lingmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief... she was a bit worried the Boss might not like this inexpensive shop.
Indeed, Boss is such a good person~
How come she’s benefiting the evil Boss Lin!
Su Wan couldn’t keep her hands off a cute dress, holding it up against herself.
Ah, although very cute, she was slightly too tall, not quite fitting this style...
Su Wan, feeling a bit regretful prepared to put the dress down, then she noticed Lingmeng beside her.
Her eyes immediately lit up.
Right, isn’t there a perfect mannequin here!
"Lingmeng, Lingmeng, come try this dress~"
Lingmeng blinked, feeling that the Boss’s look somehow seemed familiar.
It looked like the way Boss Lin stared at her feet!
An expression that said "Let me see!"
She shivered, "Boss... I already bought one."
This month’s budget is already spent.
"No worries, go try it on, I’ll gift it to you, consider it a reward for an excellent employee."
Thus, Lingmeng was somehow pushed by Boss Su Wan into the changing room.
When she came out in the little dress, Su Wan immediately clapped, "So cute! Try this one too!"
"This one! This one! And this one!"
The situation was developing...somewhat strangely?
