There was not much to do at the company today. Lu Qi got off work on time and returned home.

When she reached home, Bai Yi was cleaning the living room. She had packed the small ornaments she had bought and placed all kinds of things on the coffee table. The living room gradually became warm.

“Did you make dinner?”

Lu Qi’s words frightened Bai Yi.

“Not yet. There are many things at home that haven’t been set up. Later, we’ll go to the snack street outside to eat Malatang.”

Malatang? Lu Qi frowned. He had never eaten Malatang, but in order to protect his image as a regular worker, he still nodded. “No problem.”

“Is there anything your family doesn’t like to eat? I’m going to go shopping to decide what to make this weekend.”

“My mother doesn’t eat coriander. There’s nothing else.” He was actually not too sure about the eating habits of his family. After all, the maids at home would arrange all the food. There was no need for him to understand this.

“Alright.” Bai Yi nodded, calculating in her mind.

“I’ve already asked about your sister’s issue. They said that they don’t intend to release that dress, so she just has to pay one or two thousand yuan. Their person-in-charge should contact your sister,” Lu Qi said nonsense without changing his expression.

“Really?” Bai Yi jumped up from the sofa and looked at Lu Qi gratefully. “Only one or two thousand? Did you plead for my sister?”

Lu Qi made a soft noise of affirmment. Although he did not plead, he had indeed contributed. He could accept this gratitude.

However, in Bai Yi’s eyes, it had completely changed. Lu Qi was a worker who had gone to seek help from someone from another department. This was a huge favor. She had to perform well this weekend and not let Lu Qi lose face.

After tidying up the room, Bai Yi and Lu Qi went to the nearby snack street.

Bai Yi handed the small basket to Lu Qi and let him choose the dishes.

Lu Qi had never eaten it before and looked confused. However, in order to not ruin his image as a worker, he braced himself and chose some food.

The Malatang was served. Although the taste was very fragrant, Lu Qi felt that his mouth was greasy the moment he ate it, making him a little uncomfortable.

He ate slowly. In Bai Yi’s eyes, this behavior was attributed to his refinement.

Bai Yi thought to herself that these high-level workers were really different. They even ate slowly.

The two of them finished eating and walked home together. The weather was already a little cold, but there were still flowers sold by the roadside.

Bai Yi bought a bunch of tied flowers. There were sunflowers and little pink roses inside. They had probably been sent over from the flower market in the morning and were a little listless now.

Lu Qi looked at her in confusion, thinking that she was trying to curry favor with him. This woman had indeed sensed something, but such a bunch of slightly wilting flowers…

However, he had not expected Bai Yi to keep holding the flowers and ignore him. When they reached home, she cut the flowers she had bought, sprayed them with water, and placed them in a vase on the coffee table.

After spraying a little water, the flowers looked a little more energetic.

The originally cold home became bright.

She had a cream sofa cover and a cream tablecloth on the coffee table. There were fresh fruits on a fruit plate. The tea set was neatly arranged to the side, and there were freshly planted flowers in a vase.

The fragrance of flowers and fruits mixed together, and the entire room emitted a comfortable fragrance.

Beside the sofa was a water dispenser and a drinks refrigerator.

“Did you buy all these appliances?” Lu Qi asked. “Did you swipe this money from that card?”

“I bought this with my own money. It’s a cheap item I picked up during the shopping festival these two days. If I spend a thousand, I get three hundred off.” Bai Yi sounded a little proud.

Lu Qi nodded. He had never seen such a diligent and thrifty woman like Bai Yi.

In his house, there was a special butler for purchasing things. There were special maids in charge of placing the things in the house. He just had to make a request.

However, he had not expected Bai Yi to settle all these things in a few days and even go to work part-time.

“Grandma said that a lot of people will come, so I plan to set up three tables like this. This is a menu I just thought of. Take a look.”

Bai Yi handed him the phone’s notepad. There were more than ten dishes written on it. They were neatly listed, containing a good balance of meat and vegetables.
