Unlike before, Jingyan was so concerned about her when he didn’t know her whereabouts; now
knowing she’s somewhere in Sky City yet not being able to meet her, Jingyan felt so annoyed as if his
heart had been scratched by a cat.
Yiyao Duan felt the same way, but for a different reason-her father had been urging her to get married.
The old master Duan had intended to let her meet new people, maybe a potential boyfriend, by letting
her train the new soldiers. But he didn’t expect that she was so responsible and hardworking. His good
intentions went in vain.
Seeing Yiyao’s still single at the age of twenty-eight, old master Duan couldn’t stop worrying about her.
He had considered introducing her a good boy from the army, but the guys he found were all once
beaten by her. They were just too weak, how could Yiyao be satisfied with any of them?
Commander Duan thought maybe she would make it with some ordinary guy out of the army.
“My old army friend has a son. He’s working in the government of Sky City. It’s said he’s a decent and
knowledgeable guy. You might want to meet him tomorrow.”
Yiyao was so annoyed on hearing this, “Dad, I will be busy tomorrow.”
“Busy with what? Leave the training work for a day. Let them train themselves. You can inspect them
when you come back. Do not disobey me.” Old master Duan sounded so serious.
Yiyao rolled her eyes secretly, “Okay, I get it.”
“And, go buy some girl’s clothes in Sky City tomorrow. Do not wear your army uniform. You will scare
him.”
Yiyao rolled her eyes again, “Dad, I am a soldier. It’s normal that I wear my uniform. He’s way too timid
if he’s scared by me.”
“Huh? Why won’t you stop talking back? Quit all the nonsense and just go buy them!”
“Fine, fine.”
“Take this thing seriously. Or you’ll be punished. It’s an order.”
“Yes, commander!” Yiyao immediately stood straight and held her head up high, and she almost
saluted.
Hanging up the phone, Yiyao threw herself on the bed and whined. What is father worried about? Why
is father in such a hurry? I am just twenty-eight!
And I have to buy girl’s clothes? I haven’t bought any girl’s clothes since I became a soldier, and didn’t
he know that?
After a little while, she recovered herself from being upset by thinking of her good friend in the Sky City.
Yes, he can go shopping with me. He has a good taste. She thought to herself.
Thinking of here, Yiyao dialed Jingyan’s number.
Meanwhile, Jingyan was having a dinner party with the senior directors of the company. Seeing it’s
Yiyao’s call, he suspected it was just an illusion. After confirming it’s indeed Yiyao’s call, he rushed out
of the booth hurriedly without saying anything.
“Hello? Yiyao?”
“Are you free now? I have something to say to you.”
“I am free. What do you want to say?” Jingyan was lying, apparently.
“I am going to town tomorrow. I am wondering if you can go shopping with me. I want to buy some
clothes.”
“Yes, I can.” Jingyan hurried agreed. He had been dying for this chance. But he’ a bit confused, “Why
do you want to buy some clothes?”
“Hay! It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.” At the same time, Yiyao heard there’s music on the
other side and asked smilingly, “Are you having fun there?”
“No, I am just having dinner with some senior directors of the company.” Jingyan reported honestly.
“Okay, go on with your dinner. I’ll get in touch with you when I get there tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Jingyan felt it so unreal. He stared at Yiyao’s phone number on his screen for
nearly half a minute then he finally walked into the booth.
When the people inside the booth saw his happy face, they started to joke, “Hmm, look at that happy
smile on his face! She must be a beautiful lady!”
“Mr. Ye is a promising and handsome young man in the Sky City even the whole country. Of corse he
should enjoy life...”
“That’s right! We can do nothing but envy him.”
These were all the founding members of the company, some of whom were even promoted by Kerry
Ye. So they didn’t have to be too cautious about their words.
Jingyan said humbly, “Please quit joking about me. And Mr. Chen, please attend the meeting tomorrow
instead of me.”
“That won’t be proper. The government asked you to be there in person.” Mr. Chen hesitated.
“They only need my opinion. You can go and convey my thoughts.”
“Eh...Okay.”
The Yehuang Group was so different from what it had been twenty years ago. It had occupied the
whole market of Sky City. Branches of Yehuang group could be seen almost everywhere across the
country even European countries and America. That’s why Jingyan was so confident. The government
could nothing about him, knowing Yehuang Group’s a big tax payer that’s supporting thousands of
people in Sky City.
Seeing that Jingyan’s so absent-minded, the senior directors all left the party early before ten.
As soon as Jingyan got home, he rushed into the closet to look for the clothes for tomorrow.
Suit was too formal for shopping.
Shirt was only suitable for a meeting.
There’s nothing suitable for tomorrow. He was wondering if he should buy some clothes, too.
While he was busy looking for the suitable clothes, Chuxue Ye slid in, wearing a long night gown and a
mask, without making a sound.
“Oh Lord! What are you doing! You startled me!” On seeing the black-mask face, Jingyan was so
scared that he even sat on the floor.
“How about I ask you the same question?” Chuxue pointed the mess on the floor and asked.
“I am looking for something to wear.”
Chuxue picked up a thousand-dollar shirt with her foot and said, “Isn’t it something to wear?”
“Leave me alone.”
Chuxue was so bored anyway, so she asked, “What clothes are you looking for? Let me help you.”
Jingyan looked up and looked at her for a few seconds, then he said, “Yiyao is coming to town
tomorrow. I am going shopping with her.”
“Eh eh...” Chuxue felt so funny seeing her brother’s innocent eyes. She ripped off her mask, leaned
closer to him and said laughingly, “Brother, a girl always dresses herself up to please a boy. But why
are you doing the opposite thing?”
“Leave me alone if you don’t wanna help! I am busy here!” Jingyan knew she would laugh at him. He
was kind of regretful for spoiling her.
“who said I won’t help,” Chuxue looked through his closet and pointed a white-shirt, “You need to look
young and energetic when you go on a date. A white T-shirt and a pair of light blue jeans should be
perfect!”
Jingyan asked doubtfully, “Are...are you sure?”
“Of course! When have I lied to you?” Chuxue held his shoulder and stood up, “Most people dress
themselves up to look handsome and classy, both of which you’ve got. Even if you go out wearing a
piece of bed sheet, people will consider you fashionable.”
Jingyan smiled bitterly, “It’s so rare to hear a compliment from you.”
