CHAPTER 19: KICKED THE TREE ANGRILY.

Tang Yanqing walked briskly out of the Xiang Family and dialed Guan Liang’s phone.

"Did you catch up?"

"Caught up. Issued a ticket."

"Did he cry?"

"...No. He actually laughed."

Tang Yanqing frowned, "What else did he say?"

"Can this part be skipped?"

Tang Yanqing gritted his teeth, "No."

Guan Liang had to close his eyes, "...he asked for my phone number. Personal one."

Tang Yanqing abruptly hung up, stood with hands on hips for a while, and couldn’t help but walked to the roadside, kicking a tree trunk.

.

At the agreed time, Shi Nian and Ye He met at the cafe near "Yanwu Square."

Ye He cautiously glanced at Shi Nian, thinking her mood must be bad today, but unexpectedly Shi Nian was smiling as she entered a string of numbers from her wrist into her phone.

Ye He was a bit surprised, "Boss, did something good happen? What’s that number, could it be a lottery?"

Shi Nian shook her head, "No. It’s a cop’s mobile number."

Ye He immediately became sensitive, "A cop? It couldn’t be Tang Yanqing, could it?"

"No, just a patrol officer," Shi Nian smiled, "The one who issued me a ticket today."

Ye He widened his eyes. Got a ticket and still smiled and asked for the number... "Handsome?"

Shi Nian nodded, "Yeah, handsome. Rides a motorcycle even more stylishly."

Ye He took a deep breath, "...Interested?"

Shi Nian finally raised her head and gave Ye He a look, "What are you thinking? It’s not flirting, it’s that he rides the motorcycle well and has the potential to be a stunt paparazzo, so I wanted to contact him privately to see if he’s interested in doing some part-time work for me."

Ye He finally understood, "I see, I almost struggled in a moral dilemma, wondering if I should call my brother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Shi Nian furrowed her brows, and the smile on her face completely faded.

Actually, she couldn’t help but be a little curious: if Xiang Yuan knew she had another man outside, how would he react?

.

The sunset gradually leaned down, the twilight layers surging in. Beyond the large glass windows, more Asian girls appeared on either side of this street. Mostly very young, some even looked underaged.

Shi Nian quickly slapped Ye He, "Time to work."

The two squeezed into a bathroom stall.

Shi Nian pulled out a school uniform from her bag, "Take it off!"

Ye He was a bit nervous, "Me... go?"

Shi Nian sighed, "I wish I could act young, but after all, I’m a married woman now, no way can I pull off being a delicate-skinned child bride."

Ye He then propped her foot on the toilet, mustered strength to squeeze into the school uniform. The top was manageable, but she couldn’t get into the skirt at all. Shi Nian pushed the flesh on her waist, Ye He took a deep breath, but even as the flesh went in, the zipper wouldn’t budge.

Ye He was nearly crying, "Boss, I really can’t."

Shi Nian sighed, "Normally you look quite slim, turns out there’s flesh hiding on your waist."

Ye He blushed, "I just have a bit of baby-fat!"

Shi Nian sighed helplessly and pulled the skirt down: "Forget it, looks like we won’t be getting any material today."

Ye He pinched Shi Nian’s waist in surprise, "Boss, you can fit in it!"
