“Then I won’t disturb your rest,” Bo Yi said gently, his voice carrying a touch of warmth. “See you tomorrow, my dear fiancee.”
Fang Yuan responded with a nonchalant, “Mhm.”
“Goodnight,” Bo Yi anticipated a reciprocal “goodnight” from her, but all he got was a disinterested “Mhm.” She truly was an extraordinary young woman.
As Fang Yuan ended the call and prepared to finally rest, her phone rang once again.
“[Boss, an invincible nouveau riche just placed an order for 100 clothing items, 100 pairs of shoes, and 100 bags. They want them delivered before dusk tomorrow!]”
“[I don’t care. You must provide me with the manuscript tonight. I intend to keep the factories running through the night!]”
“[This is a major order. We can’t afford to let it go!]”
Fang Yuan arched an eyebrow, her elegant fingers tapping the screen as she replied, “[Who is it this time?]
Can it possibly be her father again?
“[This time, it’s someone truly remarkable, even more remarkable than your father! I’m telling you—]”
“[Enough!]”
Fang Yuan had no patience for his ramblings. She recollected that her warehouse was indeed devoid of inventory and then remembered the auction earlier in the day. Thanks to a nefarious competitor, she had ended up spending much more money. Now, she needed to recoup some funds.
Fang Yuan responded, “[I’m working on it right now!]”
“[That’s fantastic, Boss! You’re finally opening up shop! I’ll inform the factories to be on standby!]”
Fang Yuan possessed several factories dedicated to manufacturing the clothing, shoes, and bags she designed. Even she hadn’t realized that she would be sketching until dawn. Massaging her sore wrist, she sent over the final draft at 7:10 in the morning.
“[Wuwuwu, Boss, if you exhibited this level of diligence every day, you’d have become the world’s richest person ages ago! Who would Bo Yi be to you then!]”
Fang Yuan quirked an eyebrow, remarking, “[Bo Yi is the richest man in the world?]”
“[Boss, are you serious? You’re not aware of this? Boyi has held the title of the world’s wealthiest individual for three years now! Rumor has it that he’s so strikingly handsome that his appearance stirs jealousy even among deities and mortals alike. However, his temper is notorious, and his anger is said to be quite fearsome! I’m telling you—]”
Upon encountering this narrative, Fang Yuan promptly cut him off, blocking his messages. She had no desire to entertain any further nonsensical talk. After all, she still needed to reclaim some sleep following her descent for breakfast.
“[Boss? Boss?]”
System Notification: “[Your message has been rejected.]”
“[Boss, why did you put me on your blacklist?]”
Cheng Yuqi rose early that day, and under the assistance of Auntie Wang and Xiao Cui, she partook of her morning meal. The trio engaged in hushed conversation, punctuated by intermittent bouts of laughter.
When Fang Yuan began to eat, the trio exchanged fleeting glances and their smiles faded.
“Has the Sixth Miss arrived? Just a moment, we’ll have your breakfast ready shortly.”
Observing Fang Yuan’s presence, the chef hastened to lay out the prepared meal.
Meanwhile, Auntie Wang and Xiao Cui seemed immobile, as if entirely indifferent to the presence of the Sixth Young Lady, refraining from uttering a single word.
“Sister, why did you wake up so early?” Cheng Yuqi initiated conversation. “If early mornings aren’t your routine, there’s no need to force yourself into changing it.”
Fang Yuan chose to disregard her, instead focusing on the breakfast array before her—indeed an appetizing sight.
“Greetings, Sixth Miss. I’m Chef Li, responsible for crafting your breakfast today.”
“Today’s spread includes mussel porridge, fish glue, red date-infused bird’s nest, avocado and cheese-topped toast, pumpkin soup, freshly brewed coffee, soy milk, watered-down milk, and more.”
“The accompanying fruits and vegetables include the exquisite Japanese grapes, the prized pineapple from Australasia, and the succulent Xinjiang cantaloupe.”
“Which flavor appeals to you? I’ll serve you a portion of each. Enjoy your meal.” “If anything doesn’t suit your palate, kindly inform me at your convenience. I’ll make necessary adjustments promptly.”
“Thank you.” Fang Yuan wasn’t overly particular about breakfast. She aimed to finish eating quickly and return to her sleep.
However, to her surprise, Cheng Yuqi and Mother Wang exchanged a look and suddenly said, “Sister, we’ve heard about your plans to visit Grandpa Bo. Allow me to accompany you.”
Fang Yuan paid little heed and continued to savor her toast, taking a sip of diluted milk.
“Given that it’s summer vacation now, I have some free time. 1 usually can’t offer much support in bolstering your confidence.” Observing Fang Yuan’s silence, Cheng Yuqi carried on soliloquizing, “You haven’t been exposed to many significant social occasions, have you? It’s natural to feel nervous…”
“I’m well-acquainted with Grandpa Bo’s temperament and disposition. In the event of any inadvertent misstep, I can help navigate the situation.”
“While I may not be the apple of Grandpa Bo’s eye, he still holds me in high regard. I’m certain he’ll treat you with kindness and doting.”
“Old Master Bo dotes on our Lady Yuqi the most!” Xiao Cui cast a disdainful glance at Fang Yuan and remarked loftily, “With Young Lady Yuqi present, even if Young Lady Fang Yuan errs, Old Master Bo will likely overlook it due to Young Lady Yuqi’s presence.”
Since Fang Yuan remained reticent, Auntie Wang assumed the matter was settled. She whispered to Cheng Yuqi, “I’ll assist Lady Yuqi in selecting her attire for today..”
