Free Web NovelChapter 1974: Chapter 655: Sayaka (Part 3)
"How could that compare, my daughter is now a well-known designer, I’ve already been bragging to the relatives, still thinking of showing off a bit."
"You’re truly young at heart, what’s there to show off about?"
"You wouldn’t know, your uncle has been so full of himself lately, how can I not be proud now that my daughter has finally made something of herself?"
Yao Lingling laughed heartily twice, and started joking with her mom.
Her cousin Yao Rourou was considered the most successful among their Yao family’s generation, landing a job in the provincial government units right after graduation, basking in glory.
Recently she got a new boyfriend, rumored to be a deputy section chief in the provincial development and reform commission, not even thirty yet, a super "up-and-comer."
Uncle Yao Guanying’s family had been doing well, always liked to brag among relatives, now they were even more on cloud nine.
This weekend there’s supposed to be a family dinner so everyone can meet Rourou’s "promising young man."
Basically, it’s just to show off.
She wasn’t too keen to attend such gatherings in the first place, and now with her date plans changing, there’s even less chance of her going back.
But her parents were so invested, clearly because Su Yu wore the jacket she designed, they posted several updates about it on WeChat today.
"By the way, Lingling, it’s getting colder, you can’t keep riding around on that little scooter of yours, it’s not safe, it’s about time you bought a car. Your dad and I discussed it, we can give you a 100,000 as a down payment, get whichever you like."
"Wow?! So generous? Is this really my usually thrifty mother?"
"Oh, come on, since when have I been stingy? Your salary has also increased a lot, if you’re buying, get a good one, no less than 300,000!"
"Alright! With your words, I’ll pick boldly."
The mother and daughter chatted happily for a while, the atmosphere was very cheerful.
After hanging up the phone, Yao Lingling leaned against the bedhead and started thinking seriously.
She is now He Yi’s chief designer, with the explosive success of her jacket, her income has surged.
There’s also continuous sales commissions coming in.
Buying a luxury car worth three to four hundred thousand is indeed no longer an unattainable dream for her.
Moreover, she knows that her mother suddenly being this "generous" is actually hiding a long-suppressed desire to regain her pride.
Her mom is only 42 this year, a true child of the ’80s.
She used to be very fashionable and was always dealing in clothing trade.
It’s just that she didn’t have the knack for business, lost quite a bit of money, and later settled for a tailoring shop in the neighborhood.
Because of these failures, she had often been the butt of her relatives’ jokes.
Though her mom didn’t say it, that unsatisfied spirit had always been stifled in her heart.
Now that she herself had some accomplishments.
Her mom’s long-dormant heart naturally started to be lively again.
Letting her buy a luxury car, was actually her mom’s way of trying to regain some lost "face."
But, none of that was important.
What mattered was...tomorrow’s date.
She picked up the bikini she bought for design inspiration.
The top was wrapping and uplifting, with thick padding, yet even so, it still couldn’t hide her biggest flaw—
Small A cup, ridiculous ridiculous.
She held it up before herself, couldn’t help but sigh.
Then, Yao Lingling stood up and did a couple of hip lifts in the bedroom.
Then she darted to the living room, in front of the large wardrobe mirror at the corner.
Slowly turning around, she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
In an instant, all her insecurities vanished.
Thanks to her long-targeted training for hips, along with her natural physique, her waist-to-hip ratio was extremely impressive.
Just as the netizens say, the waist-to-hip ratio can be a deadly lure for guys!
Though there’s "not much up front", I’ve got a great butt!
In a bikini, it might look ordinary from the front, but from the back...it would definitely be a sight that would keep senior’s eyes glued.
After all, last time in the office, he couldn’t resist giving it a pat...
Thinking of this, Yao Lingling couldn’t help but mimic Tang Song’s gesture last time, and gave herself a pat.
"Pat, pat, pat~"
A crisp, unusual sound reverberated in the quiet living room.
Her cheeks suddenly became red and hot.
Tomorrow, is the day of reckoning!
...
November 25th, 2023, Saturday, -6~3℃.
Early morning, 5:30.
The biological clock promptly awoke Tang Song.
The dark inkiness outside the window remained unchanged, the room warm like spring.
The fresh feel of waking up filled him completely with a vigorous enthusiasm.
He strolled over to the large floor-to-ceiling window.
The curtains slid open soundlessly to both sides.
Tang Song’s breath paused imperceptibly.
Outside the window, at some unbeknownst moment, fine snowflakes began to fall.
The dense snow like shredded dandelion seeds under the grayish-white sky, swept by cold winds between tall buildings, drifted down quietly.
On the street, the orange streetlights illuminated the snowflakes, as if countless fireflies were dancing.
The whole city became misty and gentle in the falling snow.
Yan City’s first snow had arrived.
A subtle emotion surged within Tang Song.
He went to the corner, picked up his sketchpad and pencil, and sat by the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Shh, shh, shh—"
The pencil tip moved across the paper, making a slight, rhythmic sound.
His wrist moved lightly, with his slender fingers, line after precise and smooth line was continuously drawn out.
