This menstrual cycle, Nanxi felt much better than the last time. Her level of dysmenorrhea had lessened considerably, perhaps because of the supplements Xia Zhen had given her during this period!
Nanxi had always thought her mother-in-law was extraordinary: managing to keep the household in perfect order, despite her husband often being away, her father-in-law’s poor health, and her children being young!
If it were her, she’d never be able to do it for a lifetime!
As a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, she felt unqualified, but everyone in the Lu family treated her so well that it made her feel embarrassed!
Before ending work, Nanxi received a call from Lu Qingtian. Lu Qingtian said that she would finish her tutoring class at four-thirty in the afternoon, didn’t want to go home, and wanted to come to the company to hang out with her!
Nanxi calculated the time and thought she would be able to meet Qingtian after finishing her work at five o’clock, so she agreed to it!
Nanxi then called Lu Yinchu, informed her that Qingtian was coming over. Yinchu needed to work overtime that evening and wouldn’t be able to leave soon, so she asked her to keep an eye on Qingtian. If she misbehaved, she could just put her in the car and let security uncle Zhang take her straight home!
At about four-fifty, Lu Qingtian arrived at the company and waited at the entrance!
Today, she was wearing a beige round-neck dress and her hair – sporting neat bangs – wasn’t tied up, but secured with two tiny hair clips. The teddy bear charm hanging off her backpack represented the vigor and vitality indicative of her age!
Since Nanxi called to let her know that she’d be down immediately, Lu Qingtian didn’t go in, but waited at the entrance!
Lu Qingtian, restless as she is, her large shiny eyes darted everywhere. When they landed on the handsome young security guard across the plaza, she felt as though she’d found a treasure!
Wow! The company where her hot crush worked was getting better and better – even the security guards were so good-looking!
Watching the security guard act so earnestly, it wouldn’t fit with her flirty-yet-devil-may-care nature if she didn’t tease him a bit!
Lu Qingtian twirled her hair around her fingers and walked playfully towards the handsome security guard, a mischievous smirk spread across her face!
The security guard: "..."
Lu Qingtian quickly approached, waved at the security guard and said, "Hey~~"
The security guard: "..."
A surprised expression crossed his face, and he wondered, "What’s wrong with this little girl? Why does she seem so... thirsty? She’s not planning on asking me for money, is she?"
My goodness, he’d just graduated from police school and had not been chosen as an armed police officer for his fair and delicate appearance. So, he temporarily worked as a security guard here – his heart started racing when he thought about it...he was fresh on the job and hadn’t received his salary yet!
"So you’re the security guard here?!" Lu Qingtian initiated the conversation!
"Yes, I, I am the security guard here!"
"Oh, what’s your name then?"
"..." The security guard was on edge. Why was this little girl asking for his name as soon as she got here? What was she up to?
"How come you’re not responding? Don’t tell me you don’t have a name!"
"....I do, I have a name!"
"Yes!" The security guard nodded!
Lu Qingtian blinked, "Sanlu, as in Sanlu milk powder?"
The security guard: "..."
He corrected her, "I’m not Sanlu from Sanlu milk powder! I am Sanlu, the San of thinking thrice before acting and Lu from the deer of the Nanshan mountain!"
"But, isn’t that still Sanlu from Sanlu milk powder?"
The security guard: "..."
Lu Qingtian pouted her lips, asking him, "Then, what’s your surname?"
The security guard looked at her suspiciously: what’s she doing, asking all these detailed questions? Is she checking his household registration? Surely not!
The security guard wondered if maybe he didn’t look imposing enough, and so seemed easily bullied; even little girls must think he’s easy to push around!
For example, why didn’t she approach the other security guard who was even closer to her earlier?
Immediately, the security guard puffed up his chest and said forcefully, "My surname is Xia!"
"Xia Sanlu? Downhill road, haha, this combination of name and surname is just too hilarious! Hahaha..."
The security guard: "..."
That was when Nanxi came out of the door. Seeing Lu Qingtian talking to the security guard, she quickly walked over. As she got closer, she heard what Lu Qingtian was saying to tease the security guard!
Nanxi called out, her voice clear and pleasant!
Both the security guard and Lu Qingtian turned to look as they heard the voice, especially the security guard. When he saw Nanxi, a blush incredibly spread across his handsome face!
But the very next second...
"Oh my, sister-in-law, you’re finally here!"
