Xu An'an was like a little adult, biting her finger as she made excuses for herself.
Hearing Xu An'an's words, Xu Qingqing couldn't stop smiling.
This little girl was so young, yet she was already talking about "old problems".
Lu Chuanbai wasn't going to let it go easily. "If you eat his chocolate again, Dad will get angry. Do you have the heart to make Dad angry, An'an?"
Xu An'an's mind worked at lightning speed as she replied smartly.
"Dad, you'll get angry if I eat a piece of candy in kindergarten now. What if I reach puberty? You'll probably be so angry that you'll die!"
Lu Chuanbai: "..."
Hearing this, Lu Chuanbai felt even more depressed and completely lost his appetite for breakfast.
Just thinking about Xu An'an having a puppy love, holding hands, and hugging some rascal when she reached puberty made this old father furious.
He planned to take care of this daughter for a lifetime. How could he let her get married so easily?
Seeing Lu Chuanbai so depressed, Xu Qingqing smiled and comforted him.
"Don't be sad. My dad loves me very much too, but you're still going to marry his precious daughter."
"You can't be so unfair."
Lu Chuanbai had to settle for the next best thing. He picked up a shrimp and fed it to Xu An'an's mouth. "An'an, you have to promise Dad that Dad will be the number one man in your heart."
Xu An'an readily gave a little OK sign and agreed generously. "Okay, the man I like the most in my life is Dad, and the woman I like the most is Mom."
Only then was Lu Chuanbai satisfied. He pinched Xu An'an's smooth little face and rubbed it back and forth.
After breakfast, Lu Chuanbai took Xu Qingqing and Xu An'an to the wedding dress shop opened by the wedding dress designer in the country to take measurements.
Since it was a good time for weddings, the entrance of the wedding dress shop was filled with cars.
Lu Chuanbai asked Xu Qingqing to take Xu An'an inside first while he went to find a parking space.
As Xu Qingqing and Xu An'an stepped into the wedding dress shop, the electronic sensor on the door immediately announced, "Welcome!"
The receptionist sitting on the sofa with her hair neatly coiled and a delicate makeup on her face was holding her phone with a big smile on her face.
Hearing someone come in, she lazily looked up at Xu Qingqing. Although she thought the face was familiar, she couldn't remember where she had seen Xu Qingqing for a moment.
The receptionist didn't get up. Instead, she crossed her legs and shouted into the room.
"Song Qiqi, there's a customer outside. Come and receive them."
The girl who was mopping the floor in the reception room quickly ran out after hearing the voice. She tucked her hair behind her ears and with an immature makeup on her face, she warmly received Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing glanced at the name tag on Song Qiqi's chest and found that it specifically marked "Intern".
Xu Qingqing's gaze then fell on the woman in the distance who was still sitting cross - legged, comfortably playing with her phone.
Her name tag read "Receptionist Liu Meiling". It seemed that one was a regular employee and the other was a new intern.
"May I ask if you have a reservation, ma'am?"
"Yes."
"What's your reservation number?" Song Qiqi asked Xu Qingqing warmly.
Only then did Xu Qingqing remember that Lu Chuanbai hadn't told her the reservation number. She smiled and said, "My husband has gone to park the car. I don't know the reservation number. I'll tell you when he comes."
Song Qiqi nodded in agreement and made a gesture of invitation. "Then let's go inside and wait first."
"Wait! I've taught you so many times. Why don't you understand yet?"
Liu Meiling, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stopped Song Qiqi when she heard that she was going to take Xu Qingqing into the reception room.
"She hasn't shown her reservation number yet. She has to wait outside."
Song Qiqi explained, "Her husband hasn't come yet. I just wanted to take her in to sit for a while."
They couldn't just let the customer stand outside...
Liu Meiling was very temperamental. She gave Song Qiqi a sideways look and said rudely, "Rules are rules."
This sentence silenced Song Qiqi.
Song Qiqi was speechless. She helplessly looked up and apologized to Xu Qingqing. "I'm sorry. We have rules here. Please wait a moment."
Xu Qingqing was gentle and didn't want to make things difficult for the intern who had already been bullied.
"Okay."
After Lu Chuanbai found a parking space, he immediately rushed over. Seeing Xu Qingqing and Xu An'an still standing at the door waiting, he frowned unhappily.
The cold wind outside was so biting, and the door of the wedding dress shop was still open.
Wasn't Xu Qingqing and Xu An'an just standing there in the cold wind!
What was wrong with the employees of this wedding dress shop? Couldn't they even receive customers properly!
Frowning, Lu Chuanbai took two steps and climbed up the four - step staircase. He walked behind Xu Qingqing and complained, "Why are you still standing outside in the cold?"
Xu Qingqing pointed at Liu Meiling, who was sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, with an innocent look on her face.
"This receptionist said that without a reservation number, we can't go in and have to wait outside."
Lu Chuanbai glanced at the sign hanging on the reception room.
"Aren't there reception rooms? Can't we even go in and sit down?"
Hearing that Xu Qingqing was complaining about her to her husband, Liu Meiling angrily looked up.
She immediately saw Lu Chuanbai, who was standing against the light with a tall and three - dimensional facial structure, sword - like eyebrows and starry eyes, looking like a domineering CEO walking out of a dream.
Liu Meiling was first mesmerized by Lu Chuanbai's good looks, and then she suddenly woke up. She stammered, "Mr. Lu..."
Liu Meiling finally remembered where she had seen Xu Qingqing.
A few days ago, the news of Lu Chuanbai proposing to Xu Qingqing had made the headlines. She had glimpsed Xu Qingqing's photo.
Liu Meiling never expected that the customer she had deliberately ignored would have such a big background - the president of the Lu Group!
A flattering smile immediately appeared on her face. She got up from the sofa and shifted all the blame to the gentle - looking Song Qiqi.
She scolded Song Qiqi, "I was dealing with something just now. You didn't even know to close the door without me telling you. You let the customers stand here in the cold wind!"
"You're so ignorant!"
Hearing this, Song Qiqi bit her lip tightly, suppressing her anger. Her face looked a little anxious.
This customer obviously had a big background. Would Liu Meiling's words affect her job?
Xu Qingqing naturally noticed the panicked expression on Song Qiqi's face. She mercilessly told the truth.
"Just now this young lady wanted to take us into the reception room. Wasn't it you who kept stopping us?"
Liu Meiling was stunned for a moment. Her expression remained unchanged as she raised her hand to invite Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai in.
"It's my fault, but mainly because our rules here are too strict. If we don't follow the rules, we'll be punished."
"Mr. Lu, you reserved for custom - made wedding dress measurements, right? Please follow me."
Liu Meiling shifted all the blame to the wedding dress shop's system in a few words. She didn't forget to glare at Song Qiqi.
"Don't just stand there. Go and clean the reception room."
Xu Qingqing couldn't stand Liu Meiling bullying the new employee like this. She said calmly.
"Anyway, the reception room isn't used to receive customers. There's no need to clean it. You can take us to take the measurements."
