Chapter 98

  Yu Cai was feeling better after recovering from her illness, and she started thinking about going back home. Just as she was wondering how to bring it up with Qi Shu Fan, Qi Shu Fan's call came in, "Xiao Cai, is everything okay today?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "I'm free this afternoon, let's go take a look at Furniture City together."

  "Uh, you're not seriously thinking of replacing the sofa, are you?"

  "That sofa should be replaced too."

  Yu Cai said indignantly, "No way, I disagree."

  Qishu Fan laughed and said, "Then come over and supervise me, change into something softer and more comfortable."

  "Sit down on the sofa under you, 'No need, this is good, don't waste'."

  "It can't be wasted, that one can be returned to the factory for refurbishment, this time changed to fabric, not like leather, cooling down the body."

  "In what place?"

  "Whenever I report an address, 'I've arrived, waiting for you there, drive slowly on your way'."

  Yu Cai hung up the phone, "A Shi, Qi Shu Fan asked us to go with him to pick out a sofa".

  "Don't go."

  "Axiang——"

  "He asked me to accompany him to see the car."

  "Why must you buy a car?"

  He nodded in response, Yu Cai's face twisted in anger, "Good-for-nothing!"

  He's already so poor, isn't he even more bankrupt now?

  "Never mind, I'll take a taxi then—"

  "Excuse me," he interrupted her, "I'll take a taxi."

  Yu Zai naturally had a deep understanding of this beautiful young man's stubbornness, and could only compromise. Suddenly, she thought, "Why didn't he let me accompany him to see the car?"

  "He said you must have been looking at old-fashioned, outdated and cheap broken-down cars."

  Yu Cai was speechless with rage, and furiously picked up the key. "A Shi, you've managed to get a good recommendation today, let him lose completely this time!"

  Like letting Qi Shu Fan wait for her own affairs, Yu Cai definitely couldn't do it. However, what Yu Xiaojie cherished more was her own life. Although she always believed that if she crashed, she would definitely wear it again. So when the law-abiding Yu Xiaojie was stopped by the traffic police, she wasn't generally depressed. She rolled down the window and said weakly, "Officer, I swear I didn't violate any traffic rules, nor did I owe a fine without paying."

  The officer was very serious, "Minors are not allowed to drive."

  Yu Cai became even weaker, "Officer, look at my face, it's so worn out, is it possible that I'm a minor?"

  "No nonsense, ID card and driver's license."

  Yu Cai had no choice but to fetch her purse, seeing the traffic police staring at the two cards without a word, she became anxious, "Officer, those two cards are absolutely not fake, I'm in a hurry, can you speed it up?"

  "In a hurry? Where to?"

  "Uh, it's none of your business, is it?"

  "What does Yu Xiaojie's whereabouts have to do with me?"

  Yu Cai stared at the traffic police officer as he put on his helmet and took off his sunglasses, revealing a bright and cheerful smile. However, his tone was sorrowful, as if he had encountered the greatest tragedy in the world. "Yu Cai, this is the second time. How long will it take you to remember me?"

  Yu Cai glared at him with a bad temper, "You're dressed like a masked thief, who can recognize you?"

  Jian Xun shouted even louder, "I am the embodiment of justice in this world, a great and noble policeman!"

  "Officer Jian, I think I have to remind you that your recent behavior has seriously affected the normal life of citizens and there is a suspicion of abusing power towards single beautiful women."

  "Alright, alright, you win this round, great lawyer. Where are you off to? Why are you alone? What about that handsome bodyguard of yours?"

  "That's my cousin, he has an appointment with someone else, I'm going to buy some things."

  "When do you have time to hang out together?"

  "Alright, we're free now, just let us know when you've fixed a time."

  "This is what you said, in a few days it's Cheng Yu's birthday, don't say you didn't have time, the gift arrived but the person didn't."

  "When is Shi Chengyu's birthday?"

  "Hey, you're really too careless about Cheng Yu, in vain did someone specially release the stone uncle's pigeon to inquire about his illness!"

  Yu Cai was embarrassed, "Alright, I'll definitely be there at that time".

  "That's settled then, I'll contact you in two days."

  Yu Cai took the card from Qi Shu Fan and raised an eyebrow, Qi Shu Fan smiled and said, "Little Cai is our family's only mistress, of course she should be in charge of buying household items and paying the bills."

  Yu Cai was stunned, silently bitter smile, stretched out his hand to grab Qi Shu Fan's arm, and burst into a brilliant smile. "That dear Comrade Qi Shu Fan, are you also going to consider handing over your salary card?"

  Ji Shu was clearly taken aback by Yu Cai's sudden closeness, but he also returned a dazzling smile, "Alright, as long as Xiao Cai agrees to return to the provincial city after graduation and stay at my house, I'll hand over her salary card immediately."

  "Uh, dear Comrade Qishu Fan, are you sure the deposit on your payroll card is worth me selling myself?"

  Qishou Fan stretched out his hand to rub her hair, "I am a public servant of the red socialist society, and such an evil transaction of buying and selling beautiful girls is absolutely impossible."

  The shop assistant came over and asked, "What can I help you with?"

  Yu Cai waved her hand, "Let's take a look first, we'll call you if needed."

  Two people chatted and laughed while selecting a sofa. Chi Shu Fan asked the salesperson, "Do you have that kind of tea table with edge wrapping fabric?"

  Yu Cai was greatly embarrassed, "Hey, don't go too far, that day was an accident!"

  "Accidents can't be helped, who knows if there will be another one next time?"

  The salesperson smiled, "Many customers with children at home require coffee tables with protective measures. We don't have them in stock, but we can make them to order. Please take a look at the catalog."

  Qishu handed over the album and flipped it open, "Xiao Cai, come take a look and see which one you like".

  Yu Cai had to move closer to him to take a look, and just as he was pointing and gesturing, a slightly sharp laugh rang out, "Hey, Governor Qi has changed again?"

  Yu Cai raised her head and subconsciously stood up to call out "Auntie", the woman's face turned ugly, but even uglier was Qi Shu Fan.

  The man beside the woman smiled and stretched out his hand. Qishu Fan stood up and shook hands with him, smiling, "You're also here to see the house? What a coincidence."

  The man nodded, "Who is this?"

  "Xiao Cai, my niece."

  Yu Cai called out "Uncle" in a timely and clever manner, the two men exchanged a few pleasantries, and the two groups parted ways again. Once they were out of sight, Yu Cai smiled ambiguously and said, "Dear Comrade Qi Shu Fan, what's the meaning of this change?"

  Qishu Fan said helplessly, "She has always looked down on me, that sentence is completely slanderous."

  Yu Cai became even more suspicious, "Don't you like the look of her? Or did you dump her?"

  Qishu Fan was even more helpless, "How is that possible? She likes to suspect gods and ghosts, and also suspects me of corrupting her husband".

  Yu Cai let out a deep sigh, her meaning was profound. As soon as Yu Fan reached out to touch her hair, Yu Cai immediately retreated, her face stern and serious, "From now on, we keep our distance, lest others think I'm one of those loose women you're always with."

  Qī shū fán bìnghéng yù cǎi zhuāng zuò méi kàn dào, shēn shǒu zhāo lái yíngyè yuán, "jiù zhège, fù zhàng zài nǎ lǐ?"

  Translation:

  Qī Shū frowned, Yù Cǎi pretended not to see, stretched out her hand and beckoned the salesperson, "This one, where do I pay?"
