Large Order
At that moment, Fang Yuan’s phone buzzed, drawing her attention away. She swiftly unlocked the device and discovered a message from one of her employees.
[Boss, urgent order!]
[A wealthy client wants 100 sets of clothes and shoes for his daughter, and he needs them today!]
[I’ve given him everything in our warehouse, including the limited editions. We have zero stock left!]
[When can you create some design drafts for me?]
[I’m incredibly anxious—no, make that very anxious—no, wait, I have to stress this: extremely anxious!]
Fang Yuan’s fingers tapped rapidly on the screen. “I estimate it’ll take about three days.”
[Alright, I’ll await your update. We’re almost at the client’s mansion, and we’ll get a glimpse of his daughter. Let’s make sure not to tarnish our brand.]
Fang Yuan was taken aback. [You personally made the delivery?]
[Considering the size of the order, we felt it necessary to deliver it ourselves, right?]
After ending the call, Fang Yuan felt a sense of bewilderment. What kind of family would buy such a massive quantity of clothes all at once? Were they planning to open a boutique?
Just then, an RV pulled up at the mansion’s entrance.
Butler Zhao approached her, opened the door, and greeted her with a bow. “Lady Yuqi, you’ve returned from your vacation at last. With you here, we’re bound to have a splendid time.”
Cheng Yuqi gracefully stepped out of the car. Her complexion was fair, her figure impeccable, and her makeup exquisite. She exuded confidence.
The servants carried her luggage into the house while Butler Zhao trailed behind her.
“I refrained from disturbing you during your busy period with the college entrance exams. Now that the exams are over and you’ve returned from your trip with your best friend, I have a few words to share with you…” Butler Zhao lowered his voice, indicating his intention to speak confidentially.
“What is it?” Cheng Yuqi, though ordinary-looking since her childhood, was born into a noble family and had always been indulged. She enjoyed the finest food and clothing, gradually adopting the demeanor of a privileged young lady. She was currently adorned in a voluminous dress with cascading layers of skirts, resembling a princess.
“But…” Butler Zhao hadn’t finished speaking when Cheng Yuqi’s gaze fell upon over ten people in the garden. They were hanging numerous exquisite garments and bags on display racks, organizing them and taking them inside the house. The servants were bustling about the garden as well—some were inflating balloons, others were draping colored lights over the trees, and even Auntie Wang was lending a hand.
Auntie Wang was essentially Cheng Yuqi’s personal servant. She had been by her side since childhood because Qiao Xinhui had given birth to five sons prior to Cheng Yuqi. However, when it was Cheng Yuqi’s turn, there was no more breast milk available, and Auntie Wang was neither young nor endowed with boundless energy.
From the moment Cheng Yuqi was born, Auntie Wang took charge of feeding her powdered milk, soothing her to sleep, and providing her companionship. In this household, Auntie Wang’s sole responsibility was to serve Lady Yuqi diligently. As a result, Auntie Wang held a higher position within the Cheng family compared to other servants, and the two of them shared a bond akin to that of a mother and daughter.
At that moment, Cheng Yuqi beamed at Auntie Wang. “Auntie Wang!”
“Lady Yuqi, you’ve returned?” Auntie Wang smiled warmly at the girl and approached her. “You’re finally back! You’ve become so thin, my dear!”
“Auntie Wang, you’ve also lost weight. Did you miss me?” Cheng Yuqi inquired.
“You mischievous child.” Auntie Wang chuckled at her remark, studying her closely before saying, “You may have slimmed down, but you’re even more beautiful now!”
Cheng Yuqi’s smile grew sweeter as she surveyed the bustling individuals. “Are these the gifts Mom and Dad prepared for me?”
Were they rewards for her performance in the college entrance exams? Or was it a celebration of her coming-of-age, now that she had reached adulthood? Perhaps it was an early celebration due to her exceptional academic achievements?
Regardless, witnessing such a grand spectacle filled her with immense joy. All girls adored beautiful clothing and bags, and here they were, in plentiful numbers, with even a garden set up. Her parents truly doted on her! Despite having five brothers, Cheng Yuqi held a special place in her parents’ hearts like never before.
Upon hearing this, Auntie Wang appeared slightly embarrassed.
“I’ll go take a look,” Cheng Yuqi exclaimed, her voice brimming with excitement.
But Auntie Wang interjected, “Lady Yuqi, these aren’t meant for you.” She exchanged a glance with Butler Zhao. They didn’t want to hurt the innocent girl, but Auntie Wang felt it was more appropriate for her to address the situation than Butler Zhao.
“Auntie Wang, I understand that you probably didn’t expect me to return by flight from my best friend’s place. You might not have finished preparing yet, right? It’s alright, I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything. You can carry on with your work—I won’t spoil the surprise.”
“Lady Yuqi…” Cheng Yuqi happily made her way into the room. She was the only girl in the household, yet the abundance of clothes and bags clearly weren’t meant for her. Could they be for her brothers? Her parents must have planned to surprise her, and the servants didn’t dare reveal the truth.
