24 Chapter Twenty Four: Doting Love

For someone that had deeply loved in her past life, loved until the point where she had done everything for someone’s else man while thinking he was hers, Rong Yue was determined to stay off men in this life, yet, she couldn’t help the thumping in her heart as she watched the man with his broad and aloof shoulders walk out of those doors.

She even felt a little reluctance at seeing him go which had her shaking her head furiously. On the other hand, Rong Xia smiled a little at the interaction of the two.

It was almost like an old couple that were parting, however, one had to know that Rong Yue looked really youthful and looked like she wasn’t eighteen yet, while Qin Yichen who was only twenty five exuded a mature aura that Rong Xia felt should only be found in men who were in their thirties thus making her unsure of his age.

However, one thing she was certain was, the man was too old for her daughter!

A relationship like that would probably have her daughter bullied.

Rong Yue stood up after eating and was surprised to see her mom frozen over and lost in thought.

“Mom, what are you thinking about?” Rong Yue asked while her mind was also trying to come up with answers.

“Just now, you both gave me the feeling of being a couple and it had me worried because of the age gap between you both.” Unlike normal adults that would try to hide their thoughts, Rong Xia was different and since it was even her daughter, she spoke things as she thought it.

Rong Yue burst out laughing even as her face flamed a little, she had just gotten over the weird feeling of missing him that she felt just now.

.....

She didn’t expect that her mother would bring up something like this right after.

“You are overthinking, we might never meet again. Also, I have ways of making lots of money now and we might move out before anything.” Without waiting for her mother’s reply, she rushed out of the living room to drop her plates.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she took huge gulps of water and breaths to calm herself and then patted her cheeks with her wet palms.

“Whew! Can’t believe that mother would see that ruffian as someone that I can be a couple with.” She said and then tutted as she remembered how he had been unwilling to just allow her hold him up to a debt.

As she had a free day, she picked up her phone immediately she entered the room, wanting to see if the order that was supposed to come today had arrived already.

Yet, the first notification she saw had her eyes bulging widely.

“Ehh? 10 million?” She exclaimed shocked at the numbers. To be sure her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her, she opened her account and saw that she already had a total sum of 15 million truly.

Although it wasn’t an astronomical figure, to get, that was a lot and she really just wanted to call the man and ask him if he had made a mistake.

It was very possible it was a mistake, after all, she had asked for one million, he could have added one zero by mistake. Thinking up to this point, she decided to call him to let him know he had made a mistake.

However, she realized he had not left his number at all!

Even worse, he had brought only one copy of the contract and even took it with him.

Could there be any more annoying man?

She finally gave up and sat down on the bed.

“Humph! I had asked him to owe him later in the future and he had refused, who would have imagined that he would make such a mistake.” She murmured while grinning at herself.

“In this life, even the heavens are on my team!” She added happily before finally going to check the orders.

As for how she had fifteen million, she had gotten four million from master Wang Shu while she had gotten one million from doing several jobs online in the past days while staying in Auntie Su’s store.

“Master, half of the items have been delivered to the store, some are on the way and from my tracking, they would be there in about an hour or two, as for one last time, it had only just left but I made the seller use an express delivery and added to the money, hopefully, it gets here soon too.” Little Loli replied and Rong Yue nodded satisfied.

With this type of robot that had it’s independent server and operating system (OS) she didn’t really have to worry about a lot of things.

“Well done, I would prepare to go there now, maybe I’ll go and do some grocery shopping with mother first before heading over.” As she talked, she opened her notes and started a list of things she needed to get, she also needed to get some basic tools that she would use to build the automated shop assistant.

“Mother, let’s go and get groceries for the house, I have some free time today and would not have time after this.” Rong Yue told her mother who was currently knitting.

“Hmmm, see this dress I’m making for you, when I finish it, you can wear it on hot days so that you don’t get too hot.” Her mother said in a doting tone and as much as Rong Yue wanted to tell her that there was enough money to buy dresses and even knitted ones, the most important thing was the emotion and care behind the dress.

For someone that had gone about five years without this mother, she wanted as much feeling as she could get from her mother.

“We can buy jackets so you make matching ones for the both of us.” She suggested and helped her mother pack the threads and her knitting pins aside.
