Chapter 102

The account for the book has always been managed by Fang Fang.

From the start of the account to now, it's only been two months, yet it has already gained nearly twenty thousand followers—a remarkable achievement.

Although Jiang Yiyan doesn't pay much attention, she is genuinely happy about this success.

Social media is currently very popular, and securing a place on this platform would undoubtedly benefit her career.

"Let me take a look." After changing her shoes and sitting on the sofa, Jiang Yiyan took the phone from Fang Fang and started browsing.

This account has consistently posted content related to qipao.

For a social media account to maintain its relevance, it needs to focus on a single type of content consistently.

With so many followers and good engagement on each video, it might be time to consider monetizing through product endorsements.

During this period, many businesses have approached them for collaborations, but Fang Fang mentioned it to Jiang Yiyan, who hasn't agreed to any offers yet.

Now, she plans to try accepting advertisements.

Her collaboration with Yu Wenlai isn't a long-term solution; she needs to establish her own independent business. What if something happens in the future that prevents her from continuing their partnership?

She doesn't want to part ways, but many things are unpredictable.

In this world, relying on anyone else is not as reliable as relying on oneself.

.

After handling some work-related matters, Jiang Yiyan told Fang Fang to rest early, then went to take a shower.

After showering and returning to the bedroom, she saw a WeChat message from Yu Wenlai.

He informed her that he had arrived home and asked if she was resting.

Now that she understands Yu Wenlai's intentions, interacting with him feels different than before.

In the past, Jiang Yiyan would immediately reply to such messages without much thought because their relationship wasn't complicated. Now, however, she hesitates, considering how her response might be interpreted.

She fears sending mixed signals or appearing too distant, which might make him uncomfortable.

Indeed, once the dynamics between two people change subtly, many things follow suit.

After thinking it over, Jiang Yiyan decided not to reply and set her phone to airplane mode before going to sleep.

However, due to her concerns, she didn't sleep deeply and woke up at seven-thirty the next morning.

The first thing she did was to reply to Yu Wenlai's message.

"Sorry, I fell asleep last night and just saw your message."

After replying, she was about to get out of bed when she heard a notification sound.

Guessing it was Yu Wenlai's reply, she checked her phone, and indeed, it was him.

"How did you sleep last night?" Yu Wenlai asked.

Jiang Yiyan felt uneasy.

The chemistry between two people is crucial; whether one feels attracted or not can be instinctively discerned.

When it comes to personal feelings, Jiang Yiyan is clearly resistant towards Yu Wenlai.

She considered whether to be honest or gently reject him.

But being completely honest isn't ideal since Yu Wenlai hasn't officially confessed his feelings.

So, she decided to gently reject him.

With this decision made, Jiang Yiyan put aside the WeChat message and went to wash up. After finishing, she went to the living room where Meimei was having breakfast.

Seeing her mother, Meimei greeted her, "Good morning, Mommy."

"Good morning, Meimei," Jiang Yiyan said, smiling and ruffling her hair.

As she was about to head to the kitchen, the doorbell rang.

Meimei exclaimed excitedly, "It must be Daddy."

Jiang Yiyan, standing closest to the door, opened it.

Sure enough, outside stood Wen Mochuan with a gentle smile.

"Daddy!" Meimei tilted her head, looking past her mother at her father.

Wen Mochuan held something in his hand.

He handed it to Jiang Yiyan, saying, "There's a small restaurant nearby that makes delicious wontons. Try them."

Jiang Yiyan enjoys these small dishes, especially wontons and savory tofu pudding with fried dough sticks.

So, Wen Mochuan's offering came at the right time.

"Thanks." Jiang Yiyan accepted the food gratefully. "Come in." She stepped aside to let Wen Mochuan in.

Meimei, meanwhile, had already left her seat and rushed over to her father.

Wen Mochuan bent down to greet his daughter and picked her up.

Feng Ma also came out of the kitchen and asked, "Has Master eaten yet?"

"Not yet," Wen Mochuan replied.

Feng Ma understood and immediately said, "Then I'll make something for you."

Wen Mochuan: "Thank you, Feng Ma."

Meimei tilted her head and curiously asked, "Daddy didn't have breakfast, but why did he still bring Mommy some small wontons?"

That's a good question.

Fang Fang, who was listening nearby, was also eagerly waiting for an answer.

But Wen Mochuan remained silent.

Meimei persisted, "Daddy! I'm asking you a question."

Wen Mochuan: "Because Daddy knows that your mommy likes to eat small wontons."

"Oh," Meimei said, "So that's how it is." Then she asked again, "Did Daddy go out early this morning just to buy them for Mommy?"

"Yes," Wen Mochuan replied without taking credit, but since there was a little helper around, he wouldn't deny it either.

Meimei: "Then when Daddy buys small wontons for Mommy next time, can you get some for Meimei too?"

"Do you like them too?" Wen Mochuan asked.

He didn't remember his daughter liking them. If he had known, he would have brought some for her as well.

Meimei said, "I want to eat the same thing as Mommy!"

Wen Mochuan smiled gently, "Okay."

While father and daughter were talking, Jiang Yiyan had already opened the plastic box and started eating.

Jiang Yiyan usually doesn't eat much in the morning, so after having this bowl of small wontons, she couldn't eat anything else. She told Feng Ma to only prepare breakfast for Wen Mochuan and not worry about her.

After finishing their meal, Wen Mochuan planned to take his daughter to school himself.

"Today, Daddy will take you to school so that Mommy and Grandma Feng can rest at home."

Meimei was delighted, "Yay! Daddy is taking me to school!"

Jiang Yiyan walked over and pinched her braid, "Are you that happy that Daddy is taking you to school?"

Meimei hugged her mother tightly, "Mommy taking me to school makes me happy too. How about both of you take me today?"

Wen Mochuan looked at Jiang Yiyan, who refused, "Taking you to school is no big deal; there's no need to waste two people's effort. Today, Daddy will take you, and tomorrow, Mommy will. That's fair."

"Hmph!" Meimei pretended to be upset.

Jiang Yiyan pinched her daughter's cheek and teased her, "What a character."

Meimei suddenly changed her expression and giggled, "Mommy is right. So, Mommy, you'll take me to school tomorrow, okay?"

Jiang Yiyan: "Not only can Mommy take you to school tomorrow, but she can also pick you up in the evening. How does that sound?"

"Yay!" Meimei was thrilled, "Mommy will pick me up from school tonight, Mommy will pick me up tonight."

"Look at you, showing off. Go on now," Jiang Yiyan hugged her daughter once more before sending her off to school.

Wen Mochuan greeted Jiang Yiyan, "I'm leaving now."

"Okay," Jiang Yiyan responded.

.

After seeing her daughter off, Jiang Yiyan turned back into the bedroom.

She took out her phone and remembered that she hadn't replied to Yu Wenlai's message.

The last message was read but not replied to, so Yu Wenlai sent another one: "Didn't sleep well last night? Did you oversleep again?"

Jiang Yiyan's personality was such that if she didn't feel anything for someone of the opposite sex, she could only treat them as friends. Once there was any subtle change in their relationship, she felt uncomfortable.

Therefore, Yu Wenlai's continuous concern was actually a source of pressure for her.

Sitting by the window, Jiang Yiyan thought for a while before replying, "No. Just went out to eat."

Yu Wenlai had his phone with him all the time, so he immediately replied.

"What did you have for breakfast?"

Jiang Yiyan was already feeling overwhelmed.

If it were someone less significant, Jiang Yiyan might have ignored the messages, but Yu Wenlai was her business partner.

They would see each other often.

After careful consideration, Jiang Yiyan decided to use Wen Mochuan to handle the situation.

"Mochuan bought me some small wontons."

Sure enough, the reply didn't come immediately. It took about two minutes before she received another message.

"Do you like small wontons for breakfast?"

Jiang Yiyan feared that he might start bringing them for her too, so she quickly replied, "It depends. But the ones Mochuan bought this morning were quite tasty."

And she asked deliberately, "Do you want to get one too? I can ask Mochuan where he bought his and recommend it to you."

This time, the other party was silent for five minutes before replying, "It’s not bad; I liked them a lot when I was younger. The weather is nice these days. If you’re free some day, we could meet up for breakfast." Then, they sent a photo of the bright sun.

It should be from his home.

Taken below the window.

Jiang Yiyan hesitated for a moment and only said, "Sure, I’ll treat you then."

Yu Wenlai immediately asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"

Jiang Yiyan didn’t reply further.

In truth, Yu Wenlai might have realized that this was already a refusal, but he thought, how could one give up so quickly when pursuing a girl?

So, he wanted to keep trying.

Besides, he really did like this girl very much.

Although he wasn’t an outgoing person and had always been rational in his thinking since childhood, everyone needs to be impulsive once in a while.
