House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 129 – Buying Flowers

Mo Fei was not the hard-working and virtuous kind of woman. This could be seen from the fact that she has a nanny at her home. Not only did she lead a pampered life[1], but she also didn’t clean up her room.

After Mo Fei woke up in the morning, Yang Yi went back to the second bedroom and saw that although she had folded the quilt, it was almost the same as she hadn’t folded it. There was either a small tail exposed here, or the edges and corners there were sunken and not pulled out.

So, Yang Yi refolded the quilt and pulled the sheets…

However, when it came to pursuing quality of life, Mo Fei was more meticulous than Yang Yi. After all, she was a woman!

Yang Yi scratched his head and said, “There are a lot of flowers in the garden downstairs. Why don’t I pick some?”

“They are all wild flowers, and they are a far cry from the artificially cultivated flowers in the flower shop, no matter in terms of variety, color and size.” Mo Fei said speechless, “Since I want to arrange flowers, how can I make do with them?”

“You go buy it, and I’ll make it!” Mo Fei waved her hand coolly and ordered.

Well. Of course, Yang Yi has to buy it. Mo Fei’s face was easy to recognize!

But where could he buy it?

Only when Yang Yi went out did he remembered that he had not yet bought flowers. However, he went through his mind and thought of a flower shop – Yan Xiaopei had said that she had opened a flower shop at the east gate!

He was quite open-minded, and without any bad feelings, he rushed straight to the east gate and found the flower shop.

“Huh, Yang Yi?” As soon as Yang Yi walked in the door, Yan Xiaopei recognized him. After all, there were not many men who could speak to her, a beauty, without being pretentious[2] these years.

Seeing Yang Yi, Yan Xiaopei still had some waves in her heart. It wasn’t that she was still thinking about Yang Yi, but there will always be some unwillingness in her heart to let go what she didn’t get.

However, after all, she was an adult, and there were still part-time students in the shop. Yan Xiaopei still smiled and greeted him normally.

“Hello!” Yang Yi smiled, nodded to the other party, and then said, “Miss Yan, I want to buy flowers.”

It turned out that he just came here to buy flowers… Moreover, Yan Xiaopei knew that Yang Yi was definitely not buying it for her. Yan Xiaopei thought of the more beautiful woman in Yang Yi’s daughter’s mouth.

“What kind of flowers do you want to buy? We have rugosa rose, Chinese rose, lilies…” Although Yan Xiaopei felt a little sour in her heart, she still said as if nothing was wrong.

Yang Yi scratched his head. He really didn’t know what to buy. He came up with an idea and said, “Why don’t you pick a few of each one for me, and pick more of the prettier one.”

Not to mention the other girls in the store, even Yan Xiaopei was stunned. Who buys flowers like this?

“Do you really want to buy it like this? If you pick them all, I’m afraid there will be dozens of them!” Yan Xiaopei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and asked.

Dozens of flowers weren’t too many. Those rich people spend money on beautiful girls, buying dozens and hundreds of flowers for them. But Yan Xiaopei has opened a flower shop for several year, but she has never seen anyone buy dozens of flowers of all kinds.

“It’s all right, I’ll buy it like this!” Yang Yi said positively.

“Xiao Luo!” Yan Xiaopei helplessly called a part-time girl and said to her, “Help Mr. Yang pick flowers. He is my friend. Pick the best one for him.”

While Yang Yi was picking flowers, a man with elegant clothes and graceful demeanor came in with a bouquet of bright red roses in his hand.

That’s right, he brought flowers to a flower shop…

“Xiaopei, are you free tonight? I’d like to invite you to the seaside for dinner and then go for a drive.” The man affectionately handed the flowers to Yan Xiaopei.

To talk to her like this, he naturally wasn’t just Yan Xiaopei’s pursuer[3]. In order to get rid of the feeling of loss, Yan Xiaopei also accepted his pursuit during this period of time. Yan Xiaopei was fascinated by the other party’s temperament. Although it was very different from Yang Yi, it seemed that his was better!

In addition to Xiao Luo who accompanied Yang Yi, there were two part-time girls giggling and whispering in the side.

“Tonight! Let me see.” Yan Xiaopei couldn’t help but raise her voice slightly, and then said reservedly, “I took Yingkai to my mother. So, I’m free.”

After saying that, she glanced at Yang Yi, but the latter didn’t react at all. He was still asking Xiao Luo about the flowers’ name with interest.

Yan Xiaopei had an unspeakable disappointment in her heart, but she also secretly smiled bitterly: “Forget it, it’s an unrequited love[

However, Yan Xiaogun’s small glance was still seen by that man. Following Yan Xiaopei’s line of sight, Yang Yi’s tall figure made him vaguely vigilant.

“This is?” The man couldn’t help asking.

Yan Xiaopei held the bouquet of roses in one hand, took his arm in the other, smiled and said, “He is a friend of mine, who happened to be here to buy flowers today.”

Yang Yi sensed the slightly hostile look in the man’s eyes and raised his head in surprise.

“Yang Yi, let me introduce you!” Realizing that the man’s mood was a bit wrong and seemed to have gone a little too far, Yan Xiaopei quickly explained and introduced, “This is Yang Yi, a friend who runs a shop near the school. His daughter and my son are good friends. This is my boyfriend, Yu Chengqing. He runs a training institution.”

After Yu Chengqing heard that Yang Yi had a daughter, his expression relaxed a lot, but he became enthusiastic. He shook hands with Yang Yi and said, “A small training institution. Those living on a mountain live off the mountain, those living near the water live off the water[5]. We rely on Jiangchen Media, so we can only train art candidates in this area.”

“Oh, Hello.” Yang Yi was quite helpless. He didn’t want to know the other party, but to give Yan Xiaopei face, he still reached out and shook hands with him.

“Does Mr. Yang also open a shop here in the east gate?” Yu Chengqing’s hostility has faded now, but his enthusiasm didn’t diminish. Perhaps it was because he has been working in the training industry for a long time, and he was speaking excitedly, so he took the initiative to ask.

“He runs a coffee shop at the back gate, that is, the north gate.” Yan Xiaopei said for Yang Yi.

“The north gate? That’s a bit far away. How about I find some friends to come over often to support you!” However, Yu Chengqing said enthusiastically, “But it doesn’t matter. I’ll talk to the staff of my company later and let them help you promote it!”

“Okay, thank you!” Yang Yi reluctantly nodded “gratefully” to the other party.

What else could he do but pretend to be grateful?

Yan Xiaopei smiled at Yang Yi, pulled Yu Chengqing and said, “All right, I’ll just hand Yang Yi to my shop assistant. Don’t you want to go to dinner with me? Will you take me home first?”

“Of course!” Yu Chengqing said gallantly.

Before leaving, Yu Chengqing nodded to Yang Yi and made a gesture to chat later.

But Yang Yi actually didn’t want to see this person again…

The man was elegant in appearance, but he didn’t expect that he was actually a talkative person. There was nothing to say about him, but Yang Yi thought that Yu Chengqing was a little fake. He was obviously full of hostility just now, and he turned around as if he had forgotten everything.

Of course, this was understandable, mature men should be a bit a little sophisticated, which was a manifestation of charm. He was a good match with Yan Xiaopei. Yan Xiaopei needed a mature and generous man to tolerate her past. Young and jealous boys couldn’t control her.

But Yang Yi didn’t like Cheng Qing. Compared with Cheng Qing, the talkative but sincere little fatty was much lovable.

But it didn’t matter. He was just Passer-by A. After buying flowers, Yang Yi went home excitedly.

(TN: This is the Author’s note) (PS: Regarding this chapter, Xiaohan did not write the plot of face slapping, nor is it a cliché thing. After all, Yu Chengqing did not show off too much, and Yang Yi did not have any conflict with the other party. They are all grown-ups. Why make a great deal of fuss about it? A little bit of writing on Yan Xiaopei, mainly to fulfill the wish of a book friend. He hopes that Yan Xiaopei will have a good ending. Xiaohan thinks this is also a more open ending for Yan Xiaopei. Of course, Yu Chengqing is not likely to be Yan Xiaopei’s future, but writing the role of Yu Chengqing shows that Yan Xiaopei has moved forward. As a mature woman, she has not been infatuated with a man to the point where she can’t let go. It’s the same in real life. Yang Yi is just a little better and more considerate, but two days of contact will not make others love him to death. We don’t know what Yan Xiaopei’s future will be like, but she still strives to pursue her love, so there is reason to believe that she can met the right person, right~)(TN: In other words, this is the last time Yan Xiaopei will appear in the .)
