Under the Ninety-Third Moonlight (Part 2)

  When Zhao Yang heard Chun Mei say that, he let out a sigh of relief and felt somewhat pleased, which meant that in her heart she had gradually accepted him! Of course, he also knew that now it was unrealistic for her to completely let go and not care about him unless she decided to accept him and agree to his proposal.

  But just "thinking about it" is too vague. In a situation like this where they can only meet once every few days, not to mention Chen Xi, he couldn't take it either!

  Two people, one thinking about how to phrase it, the other staring blankly into space, and the room fell silent.

  Although Chen Xi had fallen asleep, she seemed to sense something and subconsciously cried out: "Uncle!"

  "Uncle is here!"

  "Mom!"

  Chen Mei also responded with a "yes", and then asked: "Xixi, would you like some water?"

  Hearing their voices, Chen Xi calmed down and continued to sleep peacefully.

  Hearing the bedroom quiet down, the two of them exchanged a smile. Zhao Yang said with some self-satisfaction: "Did you hear that? Xiaoxi's first call was for me!"

  Chen Mei gave him a white look and poured him a glass of water.

  Zhao Yang took over the water and continued: "Do you know why? It's because you never come home, so Xiaoxi naturally got close to me!"

  "Morning plum bitterly smiled and said: 'I know you two are familiar with each other! However, the store has just opened, relying on relationships and spending money, business is still so good, can't just let it go, right?'"

  Zhao Yang smiled and said, "I didn't say you can't continue running this store. What I meant was to hire someone to help you watch it, so that you won't neglect the business and you'll also have time to accompany Xiao Xi!"

  Mei said helplessly: "I've already said it, I need to think about it! Besides, where can I find a suitable person for the time being?"

  Zhao Yang said: "There's no rush in finding people, we'll find them eventually! In the meantime, let's talk about your work schedule!"

  Mei leaned to one side and said, "What's there to say during work hours? Isn't it fine like this now? Speaking of which, I'm not doing my job properly! Look at the snack shops and audio-visual stores next to me, they have to open every day, who gets a day off each week?"

  Zhao Yang waved his hand and said, "I don't care about others! You need to adjust your working hours!"

  Chen Mei frowned and said: "Change the time? How?"

  Zhao Yang said: "There must be a fixed time for going to and getting off work! How about 9 am to 5 pm?"

  Chen Mei put down the cup and refused bluntly, "No way!" Then she looked at Zhao Yang and said softly, "Zhao Yang, you don't understand. Many people who buy clothes are busy during the day and can only go out at night. Sometimes they sell more things at night than during the day!"

  Zhao Yang didn't get angry either, and asked: "Which time period was relatively free on that day?"

  Chen Mei thought for a moment and said: "Generally speaking, there are fewer people before 10 o'clock!"

  "Then what time is it usually after which there are fewer people at night?"

  Chen Mei didn't say anything and turned her face away in anger.

  Zhaoyang also knew that pointing fingers at others' work was very annoying, but since he had started, he had to solve this matter. He pretended to be serious and said: "Comrade Chenmei, please correct your attitude! Don't forget, I still have 25% of the shares, I am also a shareholder, I have the right to know about our company's operating conditions! This is just my personal opinion, if you add Xiaoxi's, we two are absolutely controlling shareholders! Do you think Xiaoxi will listen to me?"

  Mei burst out laughing and scolded, "You rascal!"

  Morning plum skin like jade, suddenly a smile, as if narcissus flowers open elegant beauty, looked at Zhao Yang heart moved, and the tip of his nose seems to smell a refreshing fragrance, he was stunned for a moment, then softly said: "You should consider Xiaoxi's feelings too?"

  Chen Mei didn't dare to look at Zhao Yang's shining eyes, so she adjusted her hair and looked at a two-meter-long plaque on the wall opposite her, saying: "At night, I'm usually busy until around 10 o'clock. Generally, after 9 o'clock, there are fewer people!"

  Zhao Yang picked up her hand from his leg and held it in his palm, saying with concern: "Why are you working so late?"

  "Let go of your hand, don't take advantage of the situation!"

  Zhao Yang didn't let go, and Chen Mei's arm was soft and didn't seem to want to struggle free. After a while, she said in a low voice: "My arm is sore!"

  Zhao Yang kissed her hand and then let go.

  Chen Mei felt a numbness in her entire arm, so she quickly pulled her hand back. She felt like she couldn't put her legs down, so she let them hang by her side. Seeing Zhao Yang smiling at her, she glared at him fiercely.

  "Alright, from now on, let's change the business hours to 10 am to 6 pm every day!"

  Chen Mei said in a bad mood: "How can that be? If we do it this way, the store's turnover will at least decrease by 30%!"

  A woman with too strong a sense of career can't afford to be hurt! Zhao Yang really wanted to say that he would make up for the remaining 30%, but she probably wouldn't agree!

  "This is also temporary, you can hire someone in the county later and let her take care of the store at night!"

  Mei still disagreed. She said, "You don't understand, the county isn't just our family's clothing store, they'll see that our store is closed and go to other stores, and we'll lose this batch of customers!"

  Zhao Yang asked only one question: "Which is more important, business or Xiaoxi?"

  Chen Mei hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'm also thinking about Xiaoxi's future!"

  Zhao Yang said again: "Now that it's done, it's good to talk about the future! Besides, Xiaoxi's future isn't still mine?"

  "What does Xiaoxi's future have to do with you? Who are you to her..."

  Under Zhao Yang's gaze, Chen Mei's voice grew softer and softer until she finally picked up her cup to take a sip of water, choosing not to say anything more.

  Zhao Yang's heart was delighted, but his face remained stern as he said, "I don't want to hear this kind of talk again in the future!"

  Chen Mei didn't respond and changed the subject to business: "Closing at 6 o'clock is really not feasible, that's when people who work are just getting off work and waiting for the evening to go shopping!"

  "Then what time is good for you to get off work?"

  Chen Mei glanced at Zhao Yang and said: "9... 8:30!"

  Zhao Yang shook his head and said: "You get off work at 8:30, when you come back, Xiaoxi has already gone to sleep!"

  "Isn't work at 10 o'clock the next day? I can accompany her the next day!"

  Zhao Yang looked at Chen Mei helplessly and said after a while: "Like this, for this period of time, be back home before 8:30 every day, no problem?"

  "Alright, alright! You're a grown man and you're still hung up on this trivial matter, it's infuriating!"

  Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the next issue, regarding procurement!"

  Mei leaned back on the sofa and said, "Spare me, what else is wrong with the goods?"

  Zhao Yang said: "This is simple, just one sentence, next time you stock up, rent a truck and bring the goods in all at once, isn't that better?"

  Chen Mei hummed and said, "If we do it like you, our store will surely go bankrupt!"

  Zhao Yang said with a humble attitude: "Isn't it just selling clothes? Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

  Chen Mei sat up straight, staring at Zhao Yang's eyes and said: "Alright, I'll ask you. Take autumn clothes as an example. Do you know what style, what kind of design, what color, and what match is popular this year? If the incoming goods can't be sold out, will you wear them?"

  Just thinking about him wearing all sorts of women's clothes makes me burst out laughing!

  Zhao Yang didn't understand this either, so he gave up insisting. Soon it was time to give Liu Juan an injection again, he finished the water in his cup and said: "I'll go give Liu Juan an injection, you tidy up and hurry to sleep!"

  Chen Mei suddenly thought of something and regretfully said: "I was thinking of letting you rest for a while! It's all your fault, always talking about useless things!"

  "What's useless? What I just said is the most important part!"

  Chen quietly got up and tidied up Zhao Yang's clothes, unable to resist gently stroking his slightly pointed chin, saying in a low voice: "How much longer can this go on? Day and night, who can endure it?"

  "Come on! It's nothing! I've got to go, you're tired too, get some rest early!"

  The beauty was within arm's reach, and he was no longer polite, stretched out his hand to hold her for a moment, savoring the warmth of the jade-like body in his arms, then let go of his hand, and walked out the door with big strides under Chen Mei's light scolding and thin anger.

  Xiao Hei wagged its tail and saw them off to the gate. Zhao Yang said, "Take good care of the house," and it stopped at the door and didn't go any further.

  Zhao Yang leaves quickly and comes back just as fast.

  At this point, Liu Juan had already fallen asleep, so there was no need to continue talking to her.

  Zhao Yang opened the big door, and the lights in the house were not on, but Chen Mei hadn't slept yet, she was sitting on the long sofa waiting for him.

  "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

  As he spoke, Zhao Yang sat down next to Chen Mei.

  Chen Mei didn't say anything because he was too close, but instead handed him a cup of water and softly said: "I'm not sleepy, you take a nap, I'll call you when it's time!"

  Zhao Yang took over the water and drank a mouthful, saying: "If you're really not sleepy, let's chat for a while!"

  "Want to chat? There's plenty of time later. What can't be chatted about? Now you rest for a while, I'll keep an eye on the time!"

  Zhao Yang seemed to hear something that moved his heart from Chen Mei's words, and couldn't help but look at her eyes with full expectation.

  Mei got up and said, "You sleep on the sofa, I'll be right next to you watching over you!"

  Zhao Yang grabbed her hand and said, "Sit next to me!"

  He pulled her down and Chen Mei had no choice but to sit back down, fortunately this sofa was long enough.

  However, Zhao Yang not only didn't let go but also rested his head on Chen Mei's leg!

  Chen Mei didn't say anything, one hand let him hold it, the other hand shook open Chen Xi's small thin quilt and covered his belly, then softly said: "Sleep well for a while!"

  Suddenly, Zhao Yang's heart completely relaxed and he fell asleep in just a blink of an eye.

  In front of the house is an orchard, behind the house is a mountain, and in the distance is the vast wilderness, such an environment is naturally desolate and quiet!

  But in this house, in the bedroom of the western house, Chen Xi was sleeping sweetly, and Zhao Yang also fell asleep beside her. Her face looked relaxed beyond words. At this moment, in Chen Mei's heart, there was no loneliness or isolation, only peace and happiness!
