Chapter 46 - I Grew Taller (1/2)

After pushing the question about Li Mu Chen's appearance in the back of her mind, Li Qin Yao joined her mother and friend for a sightseeing trip. The three ladies shopped around, ate good food, and visited some famous places that they have never been to before.

”Where are we going next?” Han Yue Xiu turned to look at her friend. Initially, she was a bit upset that she had decided to quit her job. But after walking around with Li Qin Yao and her mother, Han Yue Xiu's mood was better.

Li Qin Yao pulled out her phone to look at the list that Xiao Lian Yi had given her. ”Well, according to this list, there is a milk tea shop that was quite popular around here.”

”Let's go!” Han Yue Xiu said excitedly.

”You still wanted to go around to buy milk tea?” Xu Yilan watched the two girls with her eyes full. ”I'm not going. My feet hurt from walking too much. You girls go ahead and buy them. I'll wait here.”

”If Auntie Xu is not going, then we can come another time?” Han Yue Xiu said to Li Qin Yao.

”No. No. No,” Xu Yilan rejected the idea immediately. ”You girls should go. I'm a bit thirsty. I wanted to drink milk tea too. I'm just too tired to walk. So, you should go and buy me a cup.”

Li Qin Yao exchanged a glance with her friend and let out a chuckle. ”Okay, Ma. You stay here. I'll go with Yue Xiu.”

Xu Yilan nodded before she sent the two girls away.

”Is this really alright?” Han Yue Xiu glanced back to where Li Qin Yao's mother stayed.

”My mom said it's alright. So, it's alright,” Li Qin Yao said. As they walked towards the recommended milk tea shop, Li Qin Yao decided to ask her friend about her sudden decision to quit from her job.

Han Yue Xiu was quiet for a while. ”Actually, I was surprised that I was courageous enough to quit.”

”What happened?”

Han Yue Xiu then explained how she had work hard to complete her task. She stayed for overtime and managed to finish everything before the weekend. However, this morning, her boss called her and said that she had to redo her part. After she heard the reason why he rejected her report, Han Yue Xiu went mad.

”What did he said?”

”No particular reason. I just did not like it,” Han Yue Xiu tried her best to imitate the annoying way her boss talked. ”Don't you think he's unreasonable? This is not the first time something like this happened. I snapped. I told him I'm quitting immediately, and I didn't care about this month's salary. If he's not my boss, I would strangle him to death.”

At the thought of her monthly salary, Han Yue Xiu's face turned pale. She realized that she had done everything in impulse, but did not regret her decision to quit.

Han Yue Xiu bit her lips as she thought over what she had said to her boss. ”Actually, I may have said something to anger him. I was afraid that my boss was going to find me at my place. So I decided to come over here to calm down. Yao Yao, you wouldn't mind me staying with you and your mom for a few days, right?”
