Bai Wutong opened her eyes and smiled. “I think Zhao Lanzhi is very good. She’s beautiful and outstanding. I wanted to ask her previously, but she went to Xuya and hasn’t returned yet. However, I’ve already told Old Madam Zhao that when Zhao Lanzhi returns, if she’s willing, they can partic.i.p.ate in the local blind date in Baye. It’s quite interesting.”
Chu Tianbao remembered what had happened between Zhao Lanzhi and Zhao Pengfei. “Is it really over between them?”
If Gou Houxing became interested and Zhao Lanzhi got together with Zhao Pengfei, how sad would he be?
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Once a woman’s heart is broken, she won’t look back. Moreover, Zhao Pengfei has been wooing her for so long, and Lanzhi’s att.i.tude is firm. Don’t worry.”
Chu Tianbao suddenly stared at her without saying anything.
Bai Wutong found it strange and touched her cheek. “Is there something on my face?”
Chu Tianbao kissed her forehead and promised firmly, “I definitely won’t make you sad.”
Bai Wutong thought that something had happened to him. It turned out that he was frightened. Her eyes darted around and the corners of her mouth curled up. “Uh-huh, you really won’t make me sad?”
Chu Tianbao hurriedly nodded. “Definitely!”
Bai Wutong immediately whispered into his ear.
When Chu Tianbao heard this, he suddenly objected. “That kind of thing doesn’t count!”
Bai Wutong glared at him. “You just said you didn’t want me to be sad!”
Chu Tianbao leaned closer and shamelessly said, “Isn’t my wife also very satisfied? I’ll ma.s.sage you more after this, okay
It would have been fine if he hadn’t mentioned the ma.s.sage, but once he did, Bai Wutong felt her entire body heat up. She glared at him. “Uh-huh, you promised me just now. Do you want to go back on your word? Or do you want me to be sad?”
Chu Tianbao immediately blushed and said aggrievedly, “Wife, wife…”
Bai Wutong pinched the bridge of his nose and smiled helplessly. “You’re already a father, yet you’re still behaving like a kid!”
Chu Tianbao didn’t care about what he did, as long as it was useful.
Only three times a week. That would suffocate him.
“Wife—”
Seeing how pitiful he was, Bai Wutong chuckled. “Alright, alright. I didn’t expect you to be obedient.”
Chu Tianbao heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he would never fall for Bai Wutong’s trap again.
The local women of Xuya also applied powder made from a yellowish-red rock on their faces on important holidays.
Even after this powder was filtered, the sensation on the face was still rough. It was far inferior to the exquisiteness of the talc.u.m powder.
However, the color was abnormally beautiful. It could be extracted and made into a color palette.
Zhao Lanzhi took some samples and planned to bring them back and ask Gu Zhongxun to help her test if these two rocks were harmful to the human body.
With the road built between Xuya and Carefree City, trade became more and more frequent.
Zhao Lanzhi’s cosmetics were very popular locally. The beautiful lipstick and blush were often in high demand.
However, after a few middlemen, the prices of the cosmetics they bought had increased several times.
Zhao Yunning wanted to open one or two branches in Xuya like Carefree City.
The aesthetic taste of women in every area was slightly different. Baye was close to the forest, sea, and gra.s.sland. It was rich in resources and they could obtain many colors. All kinds of color decorations could often be seen on their faces and bodies.
Xuya was sandwiched between the gra.s.sland and the desert rocks. The locals liked bright colors the most— red and gold.
Zhao Lanzhi adjusted the types and color tone of the cosmetics that were to be supplied to Xuya according to their preferences.
After returning to Carefree City, she could add some new products.
Opening a shop in Carefree City, which was personally controlled by Bai Wutong, was completely different from opening a shop in Xuya, which had the most locals.
They had to pay attention to many aspects. Otherwise, it would arouse the disgust of the locals. Even if they were not expelled, if the locals were unwilling to buy their products, the shop would close down.
Zhao Lanzhi figured out these things and got someone to rent the shop. It had been a month since she was ready to start.
By the time she returned to Carefree City, two days had pa.s.sed since the local blind date in Baye.
As soon as she entered, Madam Zhao beamed and led her into the house. She said to her, “Lanzhi, the Great Empress wants to introduce you to a partner. Do you want to take a look?”
Although Madam Zhao asked her for her thoughts, she looked unyielding.
Zhao Lanzhi was not so resistant to marriage, but she had never met anyone who moved her.
Madam Zhao was too anxious. Since the Great Empress had introduced the person, it should be alright.
Zhao Lanzhi nodded. “Sure.”
Old Madam Zhao finally waited for her to speak. She smiled and said, “The Great Empress is just too influential. I nagged so much, but you were unwilling to go. Now, you’ve finally thought it through.”
Previously, Zhao Lanzhi was unwilling to go because she was not sure if she had given up on Zhao Pengfei. Later, she confirmed that Zhao Pengfei could not stir up any ripples in her heart and was busy with all kinds of things.
Madam Zhao hurriedly said, “The day after tomorrow is Baye’s blind date. I’ve prepared a few sets of clothes for you. Come here and try them on!”
Zhao Lanzhi had just arrived home and was especially tired. “Mother, I want to take a shower and rest first. Can we try another day?”
Madam Zhao was too excited and slapped her head. “Look at me. Hurry up and rest. 1 will look at the clothes sold outside to see if there is anything more suitable for you.”
Madam Zhao left in a hurry. Zhao Lanzhi smiled tiredly. If it was another household’s daughter, if she refused to get married, she would probably have been beaten up long ago and asked to get lost.
Gou Houxing had no parents and had been begging on the streets since he was young. It was Chu Tianbao who gave him food and taught him martial arts. He did not know how to woo girls at all.
Afraid that he would scare his future wife away, Gou Houxing even specially asked Chu Tianbao what to do and prepare on the day of the blind date.
As if Chu Tianbao had long known that he was going to ask, he took out a few sets of clothes tailor-made for him. “Your sister-in-law prepared these for you. Remember to change and wash them diligently. Don’t go to meet people in dirty clothes.”
Gou Houxing was excited. “Sister-in-law is the best!”
He couldn’t wait to try it out and bragged in front of the mirror. “As expected, there’s a saying that goes, A man depends on his clothes.’ I didn’t expect myself to be so handsome.”
Gou Houxing was about the same height as Chu Tianbao. He had distinct edges on his square face. He had the aura of a soldier. Looking at him from afar, he was also a handsome man.
Chu Tianbao continued, “She will meet you at Muzhi’s snack shop. If she doesn’t want to go for a walk by the sea with you, don’t force her, understand?”
When Gou Houxing heard Zhao Lanzhi’s name, he burst with joy and hurriedly nodded.
Chu Tianbao instructed again like an old father, “We’ve already arranged snacks and tea for you. Don’t rush to pay for it, and don’t scare people with your loud voice.”
Gou Houxing’s eyes were wide. “Brother, you’re so good to me
Chu Tianbao also wanted him to have a home of his own. He patted his shoulder and cheered him on. “Best of luck!”
Gou Houxing’s gaze was firm. “Brother, don’t worry.. I’ll definitely treat you to red eggs as soon as possible!”
