Chapter 684: 072 Shopping for jewelry_4

Lin Yuan unconsciously clutched at her chest, feeling quite startled there.

"Welcome, welcome! What type of clothing would you like, ah? Boss... Boss?" Meng Liangdong’s smile froze on his lips as he stared wide-eyed at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had never liked being called ’Boss,’ so people at Rice Flower Fragrance normally addressed her as ’Miss.’ Meng Liangdong’s defaulting to ’Boss’ indicated that he too was quite shocked.

Lin Yuan covered her mouth and chuckled, quite pleased with Meng Liangdong’s reaction.

Xiao Linshuang, however, was staring with widened eyes and asked, "Eh, Mr. Meng, why are you here at Sister Mo’s store? Didn’t my eldest sister ask you to be a Teacher? Why are you serving as a Shop Assistant for Sister Mo again?"

Meng Liangdong was once again at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say.

Mo Sanniang also noticed Lin Yuan’s three sisters and, hearing Xiao Linshuang’s words, had intended to come over and greet them, but instead, she turned around and walked back. With Xiao Linshuang, this little rascal around, if she came over, she would certainly be red-faced and speechless from all the questioning.

However, her absence didn’t mean someone else wouldn’t go over. Seeing Meng Liangdong wasn’t answering, Xiao Linshuang turned her eyes and rushed towards Mo Sanniang, tilting her little head and asking non-stop, prompting Mo Sanniang to make desperate eye signals to Lin Yuan for rescue.

Lin Yuan giggled and pointed to her chest, reminding her, "Little busybody, don’t forget why you’re here, alright?"

Xiao Linshuang slapped her forehead, suddenly coming back to her senses, "Oh my, look at my memory, how could I forget the main business! Ah, it’s true what they say, the older you get, the more useless you become!"

With that, she immediately provoked laughter from the customers in the shop.

Mo Sanniang’s shop employed several women to help with the store. Seizing the opportunity, Mo Sanniang quickly had one of them take Xiao Linshuang to pick out fabric.

"Sister Mo, when are you going to invite us for wedding drinks?" Lin Yuan teased as she sidled up to Mo Sanniang, who indeed blushed a bit more at her approach.

Mo Sanniang extended her long fingers and poked Lin Yuan’s forehead while scoffing, "You little devil! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Am I talking nonsense?" Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows mysteriously and turned as if to leave, "Then I’ll have to go and ask Mr. Meng about it, make him say whether I am talking nonsense or not."

"Ai, Yuanyuan!" Mo Sanniang couldn’t let her go do that and quickly pulled her back.

Lin Yuan laughed softly, nudged her with her elbow, and whispered, "Still not admitting it? Isn’t Mr. Meng here to invite you to dinner tonight? I already made it clear in advance, you can only bring family, and if Mr. Meng is taking you, are you still saying I’m talking nonsense?"

Mo Sanniang rolled her eyes at her, unable to suppress the smirk tugging at her lips, and hurriedly changed the subject, "You’ve come at just the right time, I’m closing shop and going home tomorrow. If you want to buy more fabric, you’ll have to wait until next year!"

Lin Yuan pouted, disdainful of her poor attempt at changing the subject, "You should try to divert the topic to something that interests me, alright? I’m not Meng Liangdong; whether you close shop or not is of no concern to me."

Thinking Mo Sanniang would continue to scold her, Lin Yuan was actually surprised when Mo Sanniang did indeed deliver some explosive news as soon as she finished.

"You wouldn’t believe it, but there really is something here you’d be interested in."

Seeing Lin Yuan took the bait, Mo Sanniang pulled her closer and said, "That second daughter from Jin Mansion, what’s her name, Lingling? I heard she might be pregnant."

Jin Lingling is pregnant?!

Lin Yuan’s eyes widened; this news was indeed explosive!

"Really? Whose is it?" As soon as she asked the last question, Lin Yuan regretted it, wishing she could smack herself. Who else could it be? Surely it was Li Chengzhi’s! No wonder when she saw them earlier, Li Chengzhi was so cautiously supporting Jin Lingling. Turns out there was a love crystal on the way!
