I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating-Chapter 117 - A Mystery Woman

Call her “mom”? Not really. He wouldn’t be able to open his mouth even if he was beaten to death. Call her “sister”? If he called his stepmother “sister” and his father heard it, he was afraid that he would beat him to death.

Lu Bei’s brows were tightly furrowed. After thinking about it for almost an hour, he finally decided on a name, “Madam Xiang”.

“Madam Xiang” sounded solemn and suited Xiang Xiaoyuan’s identity. How perfect.

Lu Bei unlocked his phone and changed her Wechat contact name to Madam Xiang. After solving this annoying problem, Lu Bei’s furrowed brows relaxed and he lay down on the bed, ready to go to sleep. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

That night, the three people in the house slept very well. However, one of them was woken up in the middle of the night again. Lu Wanggui woke up in a daze and reached out to touch the thing under his body, it was a hair tie with a carrot on it.

It didn’t matter, he was already used to it.

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s hair was long and thick. She didn’t like her hair sticking to her face and neck when she slept, so she would tie it with a hair tie before she went to sleep. However, her hair was too smooth, if she moved a few times while she slept, it would fall off.

Lu Wanggui couldn’t remember how many times he had been woken up.

He was at a loss at first, but now he didn’t even bother to open his eyes. He skillfully put the hair tie into the pocket of his pajamas, moved his body, and fell asleep again.

The next morning, Xiang Xiaoyuan had something to do, so she got up in a daze before eight o’clock. Waking up early was a very painful thing for someone who liked to laze in bed. Her eyes were hazy, she walked into the bathroom to wash up.

When Lu Wanggui came behind her, she didn’t even notice.

He reached out and smoothed her messy long hair. Her dark hair was in his palm. Only then did Xiang Xiaoyuan realize that there was someone standing behind her. Lu Wanggui was much taller than her. She saw him standing behind her in the mirror and was stunned. She wanted to ask him why he hadn’t gone to work yet, but her mouth was filled with toothpaste foam and she couldn’t make a sound.

However, Lu Wanggui was smart enough to understand what she meant. He took the initiative to explain, “I’ll be leaving soon.” free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

He had just come back from a run to take a shower, and he felt refreshed. He helped her tie her long hair, which was in the way. He used the carrot hair rope that woke him up last night.

When he did these things, his expression was too calm, as if it was a normal and natural thing to do. As a result, Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t realize how intimate it was to have someone tie her hair.

“I’m leaving.”

Lu Wanggui said softly after tying up her hair and letting it go.

The electric toothbrush in Xiang Xiaoyuan’s mouth was still on. Amidst the buzzing sound, she nodded.

Lu Wanggui turned around, buttoned the top button of his shirt, and left.

As Song Ya had said, this was a very easy and profitable part-time job. There was no pressure at all. After Xiang Xiaoyuan was done tidying up, her mind was much clearer. She sent Paddy a message to ask if she had any work today.

Paddy’s reply was quick: [ You can come back to the company next Friday. ]

Xiang Xiaoyuan opened her phone calendar and took a look. Holy sh * t, it was only Wednesday today. At this rate, she only needed to go to the company for four to five days a month, and she could still get a salary of three to four thousand. It was almost over a thousand a day.

No wonder Song Ya looked reluctant when she handed over the work to her.

Since she was not needed at the company, she put all her attention on Yuan Wei Convenience Store. Before she transmigrated, she majored in accounting, so she was not worried about her accounts. When business improved at the convenience store, she’d open another branch. If she was too busy, she could hire an accounting staff.

When she arrived at the convenience store, she checked the bill first. With a quick glance, Xiang Xiaoyuan found that the business of this convenience store was not particularly good, but it was not so bad that it was at a loss. It was almost as she had expected. It was not making a loss, but it was impossible to make a lot of money from the convenience store.

In the convenience store, she and Xu Xiyao got along quite well. She checked the bill, and Xu Xiyao cleaned with a mop. Occasionally, he would stand at the shelf with a notebook and write down the list of goods that needed to be restocked.

Xiang Xiaoyuan sat on a high chair by the window and flipped through the bill quickly. With one hand, she skillfully pressed on the calculator until the sound of “welcome” came from the door.

Xiang Xiaoyuan looked up and saw that it was a young woman who came in. She was wearing a wide black fisherman’s hat, and the brim of the hat almost covered her entire face. She also wore a pair of sunglasses and a mask, she covered herself up so that no one could see her facial features clearly.

This strange outfit attracted Xiang Xiaoyuan’s attention.
