Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Dimpled Beauty (Second Update)

"Xiao Yue, I can’t believe it, how come you’re such a gossip?" Tang Mingli is practically ready to raise both hands in surrender.

Tang Yue smiles with curved eyes and says, "Uncle, this isn’t called gossiping; this is your niece showing concern for you."

She says earnestly, "Uncle, I’m thinking about your lifelong happiness on behalf of my dad."

"..." Tang Mingli simply closes his mouth because if the conversation continues, there’s no telling what Tang Yue might end up saying.

As they approach Sister Wei’s store, Tang Mingli keeps warning Tang Yue not to talk nonsense, lest the girl gets embarrassed and it leads to misunderstandings.

"Uncle, you’ve reminded me eight hundred times now. If you keep going on about it, I can’t guarantee I won’t get annoyed and spill the beans to her," says Tang Yue, rolling her eyes in exasperation. Tang Mingli has repeated his warning so many times, she’s almost getting calluses on her ears.

"Brother Tang."

A crisp voice like a silver bell rings out, and Tang Yue silently praises in her heart, "That voice, it’s a perfect score."

"Jiajia." Tang Mingli strides forward quickly, but also throws a warning glance back at Tang Yue.

Tang Yue purses her lips, trying not to laugh as she follows closely behind, curious to see this woman who Tang Mingli cares so much about.

"Brother Tang, are you here to stock up on goods?" Wei Jiajia asks with a beaming smile, her eyes shimmering, her cheeks adorned with sweet dimples.

Ooh, a beauty with dimples.

Following behind Tang Mingli, Tang Yue sizes up Wei Jiajia. Comparing heights, Jiajia is a good half head shorter than Tang Mingli, with delicate features and appears lively and cheerful, her smile especially sweet. Those two dimples are very attractive.

She’s a completely different type from Uncle’s first love, Qi Yufei. Qi Yufei is the kind of delicate and gentle miss, eliciting admiration.

But Wei Jiajia in front of her is lively and cheerful, very easy to like. When she smiles, her eyes curve like crescent moons, her sweet smile seemingly seeping into one’s heart.

"This is..." Wei Jiajia looks puzzledly towards Tang Yue, the joy in her eyes seeming to dim a bit with Tang Yue’s arrival.

"My niece, Xiao Yue," Tang Mingli replies quickly, fearing that Tang Yue might say something embarrassing for the girl, "She’s Sister Wei’s younger sister, Wei Jiajia. Last time, it was her who helped me with my purchases."

"Hello, Sister Jiajia," Tang Yue greets sweetly, thinking to herself that her uncle should speed things up. It’s obvious that Wei Jiajia also feels the same about her uncle.

When mutual affection is present, bursting this bubble of pretense, it won’t be long before Granny Tang gets to hold a grandchild.

"Xiao Yue, are you also here with Brother Tang to stock up?" Wei Jiajia warmly welcomes them inside.

Tang Yue says, "You talk, I’ll pick out some clothes."

As soon as Tang Yue steps into the shop, her eyes land on the children’s clothes. There are outfits for both boys and girls. Sister Wei was right, Wei Jiajia’s selection is indeed the latest styles, but the prices are also slightly higher.

In the past, she has seen many other children’s stores with cheaper prices, but their styles and materials were somewhat lacking.

Wei Jiajia’s clothes here are clearly made from superior materials, and although they’re a bit pricier, there is a saying that it’s better to explain the price for a while than to apologize for the quality for a lifetime.

Even if it sounds a bit exaggerated to talk about clothes this way, you get what you pay for. If my little uncle stocks up on cheap goods that are of poor quality, it will inadvertently label his shop as low-end.

Tang Yue was exceptionally quick, calculating in her heart how much stock Tang Mingli’s remaining money could afford. She swiftly picked out clothes, with an eye from the future, immediately distinguishing which clothes would sell well and which were flashy but impractical.

Seeing that Tang Mingli let Tang Yue pick out everything, Wei Jiajia couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Tang, Xiao Yue is quite good at picking clothes; they’re the best-sellers in my store."

"Xiao Yue has always had an exceptional eye for this. The clothes she picks out always sell the best." When Tang Mingli spoke of this, he was somewhat proud.

Wei Jiajia asked again, "Are you selling these children’s clothes in your niece’s shop?"

"No," Tang Mingli shook his head, "We’re in partnership. During Zheng Yue, I rented two shopfronts. Conveniently, one for women’s clothes, the other for children’s."

"Oh, Xiao Yue looks so young," Wei Jiajia inquired.

Tang Mingli replied, "Xiao Yue is a Senior High School student with very good grades."

"So she’s still a high school student? That’s impressive." Wei Jiajia was twenty-one herself. Originally, her own poor grades led her to follow her sister into the clothing business, and eventually, she opened her own children’s clothing wholesale store, which did quite well. Her family had been urging her to marry, but she was unwilling.

She wanted to find someone she liked and who liked her back.

"Yes, Jiajia, I heard from your sister that you went to Shenzhen to stock up on clothes? Are you, a young lady, bold enough to travel so far to buy clothes?" Tang Mingli looked at Wei Jiajia, her smile infectious. He enjoyed such smiles that seemed to dispel all worries.

"What’s there to be afraid of? My sister and I went together, and my brother-in-law came along too. This trip really broadened my horizons. The clothes from outside are so pretty." Wei Jiajia spoke animatedly about her trip to Shenzhen as if she could go on for days and nights.

Tang Mingli would occasionally agree with her, and the image of the two standing together was very harmonious.

Once Tang Yue finished choosing the clothes, she didn’t want to interrupt them, but if they carried on, she might miss the morning bus back to the county. Missing the morning bus meant having to take the afternoon one, which would be very inconvenient.

After taking the clothes back, she still needed to sort them for a couple of days, and she was about to start school. Once school began, she wanted to help in the store, but she would probably be too busy.

"Sister Jiajia, could you calculate how much these clothes cost for me?" Tang Yue reminded her.

Tang Mingli, realizing later, noticed that the two had been standing very close to each other. He could even smell the faint scent of soap on her.

"Right away, I’ll calculate it now." Wei Jiajia’s face blushed, thinking about how close they’d been speaking to each other. Her heart raced, and she made several mistakes while calculating the price.

Tang Yue teased her, "Sister Jiajia, even if you want to give us a special offer, you can’t give us too much of a discount. My little uncle and I will feel uneasy."

"Xiao Yue, don’t worry. For your clothes, we will definitely give you the best discount." Wei Wawa showed a sweet smile and, after totaling the price, also gave them two sets of children’s clothes, one for a girl and one for a boy.

"Then thank you so much, Sister Jiajia," Tang Yue quickly said. It wasn’t until all the clothes were packed that Tang Mingli reluctantly left.
