Liu Jingyi was too lazy to be angry anymore. Looking down at the ground, she said, "No, you're overthinking it. I was just afraid of causing you trouble."
After all, Leng Yunting was polite to her, so it was only right that she be polite in return.
Leng Yunting looked at her. Her casual attire—a fitted dress that accentuated her figure—was unmistakable. Her
hair was tied in a simple braid, placed in front of her chest, with a few strands falling across her forehead.
She looked so sweet and charming, saying things that seemed to be for his own good, but to Leng Yunting, it was heartbreaking.
Leng Yunting sneered twice, "Why haven't I ever seen you afraid of troubling me before?"
After saying that, the man picked up his coat from the back of the chair, glanced at her, and said, "Liu Jingyi, if you're going to lie, then be prepared to keep lying. Don't act so impatient."
Leng Yunting returned to the army.
Liu Jingyi stood there, the sound of the door slamming shut making her eardrums ring.
She slowly raised her lowered eyes, staring blankly at the door that had been slammed shut.
"So… what is he angry about?"
Liu Jingyi murmured to herself, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible to herself.
Liu Jingyi couldn't figure it out.
After a moment's thought, the only thing that came to mind was that letter.
So he felt… that since she had seen that letter of unknown origin, and potentially ambiguous, yet she remained unmoved, neither questioning him nor getting angry, not even bothering to ask a single question…
he was angry because of that.
Liu Jingyi understood, but she didn't know how to say it.
Because that was the female lead, wasn't it? Liu Jingyi
helplessly tugged at the corners of her mouth, but thankfully there was one thing to be happy about.
Those pieces of fabric she had chosen earlier. She had made them all into handkerchiefs, ten in total!
Liu Jingyi quickly tidied herself up and went to the state-run department store with the embroidered handkerchiefs.
Upon arriving at the department store, Liu Jingyi went straight to Sister Lan.
Sister Lan hadn't had high hopes, but unexpectedly, a few days later, Liu Jingyi actually came.
Especially when Liu Jingyi took out the handkerchief, Sister Lan was truly stunned!
This...this embroidery is too good!
The one Liu Jingyi brought out is in a completely different league from the ones sold in their mall!
Seeing Sister Lan remain silent for a while, Liu
Jingyi finally spoke up, "Sister Lan, will you buy it?" Sister Lan, still immersed in admiring the handkerchief, quickly replied, "Yes, yes, Jingyi, did you really embroider all of this over the past few days?"
"Yes, I embroidered three different flowers. Sister Lan, how much do you think it costs? If it's too low, I won't sell it."
"These took me a lot of time, Sister Lan. You know, embroidery is very hard on the eyes."
Sister Lan certainly knew how difficult it was to embroider one, otherwise it wouldn't be so expensive.
As for the price Liu Jingyi mentioned, it naturally couldn't be low, after all, it was in a completely different league from the handkerchiefs available in their mall.
Sister Lan picked up the handkerchief and carefully examined the three different patterns Liu Jingyi had embroidered.
The twin lotus blossoms look festive, the plum blossoms are elegant and pure, and the crabapple blossoms are bright and vibrant.
Sister Lan is extremely satisfied with these three colors.
She went directly to Liu Jingyi and said, "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 surprised, as she hadn't expected such a price.
Although to outsiders it might seem difficult, only Liu Jingyi knew that she hadn't put much effort into these handkerchiefs.
Of course, even though she was very happy inside, she remained calm on the surface.
Liu Jingyi calmly confirmed the price with Sister Lan. With the hundred yuan in her hand, Liu Jingyi selected a few more pieces of fabric and embroidery thread, but this time she didn't plan to rush into embroidery.
Firstly, because scarcity increases value, and secondly, with the price set, she figured they could sell for a while.
Walking home, Liu Jingyi couldn't contain her joy, because she had earned it through her own efforts, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Even though one hundred yuan wasn't much before she transmigrated into the book, in this era it was a considerable sum. Leng Yunting's monthly salary was only a little over one hundred yuan.
She touched the newly bought fabric in her hands; the soft cotton and silky satin felt wonderful. Since it was for her to wear, she naturally wanted the best.
Liu Jingyi wanted to have a cheongsam made for herself; it was something she loved.
Thinking of the shirts her family had made for Leng Yunting, she imagined herself wearing a cheongsam, walking alongside him—a truly beautiful sight.
But then she thought of the man's unreasonable behavior, and her mood instantly soured.
Since he felt she didn't care about him and didn't like him, he wouldn't wear the clothes she made.
After arriving home, Liu Jingyi put down her things, took the brand-new shirt from the bottom of the closet, and went to Aunt Chen's house.
Aunt Chen was quite surprised to see Liu Jingyi. Although she had politely invited her to dinner that time, nothing had come of it.
Aunt Chen put down the clothes she was holding, stood up, wiped her hands, and said, "Jingyi, what brings you here? Is something wrong?"
Liu Jingyi handed over the neatly folded shirt. "Auntie, no, it's just that I felt I went too far before, so I had some extra fabric at home and made two outfits, one for you and one for Brother Chen."
Aunt Chen touched the fabric of the clothes. "Such good fabric, no, no, I can't accept it."
The women's shirt was actually altered from a new outfit that the original owner of this body had never worn. The men's shirt was naturally made according to Leng Yunting's size, but Brother Chen's build was similar to Leng Yunting's, so it also fit him.
Of course, Liu Jingyi couldn't just give away shirts; otherwise, it would be hard to explain if word got out.
“Sister-in-law, if you don’t accept this, it means you haven’t forgiven me yet. Besides, these two outfits are matching couple's clothes! This style came from Shenzhen; I specially learned it. You and Brother Chen will look absolutely perfect together.”
Sister-in-law Chen was quite intrigued when she heard it was matching couple's clothes. She had seen them before, and the style was indeed excellent; she had never seen anything like it before. The fabric and workmanship were truly superb; even clothes from state-owned department stores couldn’t compare to what Liu Jingyi made.
“You really want these for me?”
Sister-in-law Chen couldn’t help but ask again.
Liu Jingyi nodded and said, “Of course, sister-in-law, please accept them!”
“Okay, then I won’t be polite. Thank you so much for spending so much.”
“Sister-in-law, you’re being so inconsiderate before. I should be thanking you for not holding it against me.”
Sister-in-law Chen accepted the clothes and then went to the yard to pick some vegetables she had grown herself, handing them to her.
She felt that Liu Jingyi was truly different now, becoming more and more likable.
She's beautiful, delicate, and has a lovely voice!
Now I think Leng Yunting really hit the jackpot by marrying Liu Jingyi!
