He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

"What? Sold out? I only waited in line for half an hour, and it's already gone? What's wrong with your bookstore?"

"Yeah, I took a day off specifically to buy this, and after waiting in line for so long, you're telling me it's out of stock? Isn't this just playing games with us?"

"Your bookstore doesn't stock enough books! With so many people queuing up, don't you know how to order more? Such a big bookstore, and you can't even stock all the books?"

"This is outrageous! We made a wasted trip! My home is so far away, it takes more than an hour to go there and back!"

The young girl was surrounded by everyone, her face full of helplessness, and she could only explain again and again:

"I am very sorry, dear customers, I am truly sorry."

Our Shanghai Bookstore received 500 sets this time. We thought these would be enough to sell for several days, but they were all sold out in just one hour.

We contacted the publisher immediately and are currently discussing a reprint. If you really want it,

You can register and pre-order with us first. We'll call you as soon as the new books arrive, so you won't be delayed in picking them up.

But people didn't buy it at all, and complaints continued to pour in.

"What's the point of registering? Who knows how long the wait will be? My child won't be able to wait even half a month or a month!"

"My child needs to see the doctor today; we can't wait that long. Can't you think of a solution?"

"Your Shanghai Bookstore is so big and powerful, can't you stock up on more inventory? With so many people coming to buy, didn't you have any foresight?"

The girl had no choice but to keep apologizing, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, we're already trying to expedite the process," but there was nothing else she could do.

Kang Yuyan and Wu Xinyue exchanged a glance, their faces filled with disappointment, and the expectation in their eyes vanished instantly.

Wu Xinyue tugged at Kang Yuyan's arm, her voice full of frustration:

"What should we do? They're out of stock here, and they're all sold out online. We can't just make a wasted trip, can we?"

My child promised me yesterday that if I bought this book, he would eat and sleep well. If I don't get it, he'll definitely throw a tantrum.

Kang Yuyan frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly her eyes lit up, she slapped her thigh, and said excitedly:

"That's it! Xinhua Bookstore! Let's go check out Xinhua Bookstore! It's a big bookstore, and a chain, so they definitely have more stock than here. Maybe they even have some left!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xinyue also became excited and nodded quickly:

"Right, right! How could I forget about Xinhua Bookstore! Xinhua Bookstore is a big company, they'll definitely have more stock. Let's hurry, or they'll run out of stock again!"

Without wasting any time, the two turned around and squeezed out of the line, saying to the people behind them, "Excuse me, let's go look somewhere else." After finally squeezing out of the line, they jogged out of the Shanghai Book City and headed straight for the parking lot.

Kang Yuyan was driving, and Wu Xinyue was sitting in the passenger seat, urging her on the whole way:

"Yuyan, drive faster, faster! Don't let someone else buy the last few books!"

Kang Yuyan didn't dare to delay, so she started the car and kept the accelerator on all the way, trying to drive as fast as possible. Fortunately, there wasn't much traffic on the road, and she arrived at Xinhua Bookstore in just fifteen minutes.

The two parked their car and practically ran into the bookstore, chanting all the way, "Please don't let it be out of stock, please don't let it be out of stock," afraid that they would be a step too late and miss it again.

As soon as she entered the bookstore, Kang Yuyan, panting, quickly walked to the front desk and asked the staff:

"Hello, do you still have the book 'The Adventures of the Chen Family Daughter in the Mountains and Seas'? We've come all this way, could you please help us check?"

The receptionist was a young woman, around twenty years old, with a gentle smile on her face.

She glanced at Kang Yuyan and Wu Xinyue, both of them drenched in sweat, their hair disheveled, their faces filled with anxiety. The girl gave an apologetic smile and said softly:

"Excuse me, you two, this book just sold out. It was the last set, and an auntie bought it five minutes ago. She came here specifically to buy it and even urged us to reprint it."

The anticipation on Kang Yuyan and Wu Xinyue's faces froze instantly. They looked at each other, both with expressions of disbelief.

Wu Xinyue was unwilling to give up, so she took another step forward and pressed on with her question:

"Sold out again? How come it's gone so fast? How many sets did your bookstore order? How come they sold out so quickly?"

The staff member smiled and patiently explained:

"We ordered 300 sets this time, and to be honest, we didn't expect them to sell so quickly."

We opened at nine in the morning, and everything sold out in less than two hours, much faster than we expected.

Many people come specifically to buy this book, and quite a few who couldn't get their hands on it are registering to pre-order it here.

Kang Yuyan sighed, her face full of helplessness. Holding Wu Xinyue's hand, she was about to turn and leave, thinking to herself, "There's really no hope now. I can only go back and explain to the child properly."

But just then, someone suddenly shouted from behind, a very loud voice that could be heard throughout the entire bookstore lobby:

"New stock arrived! Another batch of 'The Adventures of the Chen Family Heiress in the Mountains and Seas' has arrived! Don't worry, everyone gets a share!"

The two turned around abruptly, their eyes lighting up. They saw a young man in a bookstore uniform pushing a small cart.

They came out from behind the bookstore, with several stacks of books neatly piled on the cart. The covers of the books were clearly visible, and it was the "Adventures of the Chen Family Daughter in the Mountains and Seas" that they had been longing for!

"I want a set!" Kang Yuyan reacted the fastest, immediately pulling Wu Xinyue along as they rushed over, afraid that if they were a step too slow, someone else would snatch them all up.

"I want one too!" Wu Xinyue followed closely behind, her voice trembling with excitement.

Other people who hadn't bought books also gathered around.

"I want one!"

"Give me one!"

"I want one too, for my child!"

The sounds rose and fell as everyone jostled forward, afraid of missing out.

The young man pushing the cart quickly reached out his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet:

"Please don't push, please line up and take your time. There are plenty of goods this time, so everyone has a chance. Don't worry about not being able to buy anything. Please line up and come one by one."

Kang Yuyan and Wu Xinyue quickly found a place to queue. This time, they were near the front of the line, watching as the people in front of them bought books one by one.

Holding the brand-new book in their hands, with happy smiles on their faces, the two were both nervous and expectant, their palms sweating slightly, afraid that the book would be gone when it was their turn.

Finally, it was their turn.

Kang Yuyan took a deep breath and said to the staff:

"Could you please give us two sets, thank you?" The staff member smiled and nodded, took two books from the car, carefully put them into a bag, and handed them to them.

"Okay, two sets, here you go. If you want to buy more next time, you can follow our bookstore's official WeChat account in advance, and we will notify you of restocking information."
