"A...a match?" I was baffled.
Chen Shufen nodded, "I have a few relatives' children who are not bad prospects, and seeing as you don't have anyone, why don't I introduce them to you? You can get to know them, and if you like someone, you could get married."
"No need, I have someone." I hastily waved my hands at Chen Shufen.
I wasn't in any position to consider marriage.
Even if Longting were to let me go in the future, who would want a woman who had already had a child? I might as well live alone for the rest of my life.
Chen Shufen was taken aback, "You have someone? How come I've never seen him, helping you and your daughter out?"
"He's even more destitute, poor, and disabled." My mind raced, and the words just slipped out.
Chen Shufen looked sympathetic, "So that's the situation."
Then, she sensed something was off, "Why would a fine girl like you fall for a disabled person? You're so pretty, I'm not talking about being kept or anything sleazy. If you get a decent boyfriend, you could have a very good life."
"He… he became disabled saving me." My lie was becoming more and more outrageous.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shufen looked solemn and patted my shoulder, "Yuanyuan, you value loyalty deeply."
If Longting found out, he would kill me.
In the afternoon, I was cleaning up the tables with Xiao Li.
Xiao Li picked up a booklet from under the table and said to me, "A customer left something behind in the restaurant." Read complete version only at Nove1Fire.net
"Put it at the front desk, maybe they'll remember and come back for it." I told Xiao Li.
Xiao Li had already started flipping through it, "IVF… people in this small place know about this?"
"Cough cough, that's mine." Chen Shufen came over, coughing lightly.
Xiao Li was surprised, "Boss, you and the boss are planning to have kids?"
"Yes, after this incident, we're planning to have one." Chen Shufen found it a bit difficult to discuss, but facing us whom she treated like close friends, she didn't hide it, "We hadn't wanted children before because I couldn't bear children, but after this big incident, we've realized it's important to have a child no matter what."
My eyes lit up, seeing this as an opportunity to test my skills.
After everything was settled, I went to talk to Chen Shufen about it.
"Boss, actually there is a type of sachet that can help with having children." I got straight to the point.
Chen Shufen looked stunned and glanced at me as if she was looking at a swindler.
I felt like I had just acted like a swindler and awkwardly explained to her, "Actually, I have a family heritage of making sachets that can solve various problems. Do you want to give it a try? I heard that doing IVF can be quite painful."
"How do we try?" Chen Shufen asked me.
I pulled her upstairs, "You drip a drop of blood on my fabric, and I will make it into a sachet for you to wear every day."
"Is it that simple?" Chen Shufen was skeptical.
Once we arrived in my room.
My mom was tidying up the room.
I told my mom, "I brought the boss over to see the sachet I made."
"Then mom will step out; I just saw the supermarket next door hiring, I'll go apply and see." My mom cooperated and left.
Under my persuasion, Chen Shufen dropped a drop of blood on a blue lotus fabric.
I embroidered the sachet right in front of her and handed it to her, "If you get pregnant, remember to give a five-star review."
"If wearing this helps me get pregnant, it's worth more than five stars. I'd give you all the money I was going to spend on the IVF," Chen Shufen said, pinching the sachet.
I blinked, "No need for that much, five hundred yuan will do."
Just then, Xiao Li ran to the doorway, her eyes holding a hint of resentment, "Chen Yuanyuan!! Your boyfriend is here looking for you!!"
"Yes, you traitor!! You promised we'd walk through life as friends together, whoever gets into a relationship first is a dog."
When did I ever agree to this with Xiao Li?? What a trap!
"I don't have a boyfriend!!" I blurted out in shock.
Then I remembered I had let it slip in front of Chen Shufen, and I quickly tried to cover it up, "I mean, are you sure it's not Su Xiaomin sending someone to test? My boyfriend... he lives very far... very far away..."
