Liu Jingyi was too tired to be angry anymore. She looked down at the ground and said, "No, you're overthinking it. I was just afraid of causing you trouble."
After all, since Leng Yunting was polite to her, it was only right that she be polite in return.
Leng Yunting looked at her. With her casual attire, a waist-cinching dress, Liu Jingyi's good figure was revealed without a doubt.
She had tied her hair in a simple braid, letting it fall over her chest, with a few stray wisps of hair framing her forehead.
She looked so well-behaved and lovely, saying things that seemed to be for his own good, but in Leng Yunting's eyes, it was quite disheartening.
Leng Yunting let out two cold laughs, "I never saw you afraid of troubling me before, did I?"
After speaking, the man picked up the coat from the back of the chair, glanced at her, and dropped a sentence: "Liu Jingyi, if you're going to lie, then plan on lying forever. Don't put on such an impatient look?"
Leng Yunting returned to the Military Unit.
Liu Jingyi stood in place, the sound of the door slamming shut buzzing in her eardrums.
She slowly raised her lowered eyes, gazing blankly at the door that had been shut so forcefully.
"So... what exactly is he angry about?"
Liu Jingyi murmured to herself, her voice so low that almost only she could hear it.
Liu Jingyi did not figure it out.
Recalling the events, it was only that one letter.
So he felt... that since she had seen the letter of unknown origin, which might have been intimate, yet she remained indifferent, neither questioning him nor getting angry, not even bothering to ask a single question...
He was angry because of this.
Liu Jingyi understood, but she didn't know how to explain it.
Because that was the Female Protagonist?
Liu Jingyi pulled at the corner of her mouth helplessly, but fortunately, there was one piece of good news.
That was the Fabric she had chosen a few days ago. She had made them all into handkerchiefs—ten in total!
Liu Jingyi tidied up simply and took the embroidered handkerchiefs to the State-run Department Store.
When Liu Jingyi arrived at the State-run Department Store, she went straight to Sister Lan.
Sister Lan hadn't held out much hope, but she was surprised that Liu Jingyi actually came a few days later.
Especially when Liu Jingyi took out the handkerchiefs, Sister Lan was truly stunned!
Th-This embroidery is too good!
What Liu Jingyi brought was simply not on the same level as what their department store sold, okay!
Seeing that Sister Lan hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Jingyi spoke up, "Sister Lan, are you buying them?"
Sister Lan was still immersed in admiration. Hearing Liu Jingyi speak, she quickly said, "Yes, yes, I'll take them, Jingyi. Did you really embroider all of these in the last few days?"
"Mhm, I embroidered three types of flowers. Sister Lan, what price do you think? If it's too low, I won't sell them."
"I spent quite a bit of time on these, Sister Lan. You know that embroidery is very taxing on the Eyes."
Sister Lan certainly knew how difficult it was to embroider one piece, otherwise, they wouldn't sell for such a high price.
As for the price Liu Jingyi mentioned, it naturally couldn't be low, as they were completely different from the handkerchiefs currently stocked in their department store.
Sister Lan picked up the handkerchiefs and carefully examined the three different floral patterns Liu Jingyi had embroidered.
The paired lotus flowers looked festive, the plum blossoms were elegant and pure, and the crabapples were bright.
Sister Lan was absolutely satisfied with these three patterns.
She said directly to Liu Jingyi, "Jingyi, I'll buy these handkerchiefs for ten yuan each. After all, handkerchiefs that are too expensive are hard to sell. This is the highest price I can offer."
Liu Jingyi was quite pleasantly surprised, as she hadn't expected such a price.
Although outsiders might think this was very difficult, only Liu Jingyi knew that she hadn't put much effort into these handkerchiefs at all.
Of course, no matter how happy she was inside, her expression remained calm.
Liu Jingyi calmly confirmed the price with Sister Lan. Taking the one hundred yuan she received, Liu Jingyi selected a few more pieces of Fabric and Embroidery thread, but this time she didn't plan on rushing the embroidery.
One reason was that scarcity creates value, and the other was that with this price point, she figured they would sell well for a while.
Walking on the road back Home, Liu Jingyi couldn't suppress her inner joy, because this was earned through her own effort, giving her a great sense of accomplishment.
Even though one hundred yuan wasn't much before she Transmigrated into a book, in this era, it was a considerable sum of money; Leng Yunting's monthly salary was only a little over one hundred.
She touched the newly bought Fabric in her hand—soft cotton and silky satin, which felt incredibly good. Since it was for her own wear, she naturally had to buy the best.
Liu Jingyi wanted to make a Qipao for herself; that was what she liked.
Thinking of the shirt made for Leng Yunting at home, she imagined that when she wore a Qipao and walked beside him, they would definitely be a striking sight.
But the thought of the man's excessive behavior instantly ruined her mood.
Since he thought she didn't Care about him or like him, then he shouldn't wear the clothes she made either.
After arriving Home, Liu Jingyi put down what she was carrying, took out a brand-new shirt from the bottom of the cabinet, and went to Sister-in-law Chen's house.
Sister-in-law Chen was quite surprised by Liu Jingyi's visit. Although she had politely invited her for a meal that time, nothing came of it afterward.
Sister-in-law Chen put down the clothes she was holding, wiped her hands, and said, "Jingyi, why are you here? Did something happen?"
Liu Jingyi handed over the neatly folded shirt, "Sister-in-law, no. I just felt I was too much before, so I used some extra Fabric at home to make two sets of clothes, one for you and one for Brother Chen."
Sister-in-law Chen touched the material of the clothes, "Such good material, no, no, I can't accept this."
The women's set was actually modified from a new outfit the Original Body had never worn. The men's shirt was naturally made according to Leng Yunting's measurements, but since Brother Chen's build was similar to Leng Yunting's, he could wear it too.
Since Liu Jingyi was giving a gift, she couldn't just give a shirt; otherwise, if word got out, it would be hard to Explain.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't accept it, it means you haven't forgiven me yet. Besides, these two sets are a Couple's Outfit! This style came from Shenzhen, and I specifically learned it. You and Brother Chen will look like a perfect match wearing them."
When Sister-in-law Chen heard it was a Couple's Outfit, she was quite intrigued. She looked at them too; the style was genuinely nice. She hadn't seen anything like it before. Moreover, the material and the workmanship were truly excellent; even the clothes at the State-run Department Store, she felt, weren't as well-made as what Liu Jingyi had done.
"Are you really giving these to me?"
Sister-in-law Chen couldn't help but ask again.
Liu Jingyi nodded and said, "Of course, Sister-in-law, please accept them!"
"Alright, then I won't be polite. Thank you so much; you shouldn't have spent money on this."
"Sister-in-law, don't say that. It was me who was too thoughtless before. The fact that you aren't holding it against me means I should be the one thanking you."
Sister-in-law Chen accepted the clothes and then went to the courtyard to pick some vegetables she had grown, handing them to her.
She felt that Liu Jingyi was truly different now, becoming more and more likable.
She was good-looking, delicate, and spoke nicely too!
Now she felt that Leng Yunting was the one who truly benefited by marrying Liu Jingyi!
