After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

Bai Tao did a very careful job on Bai Zhenzhen's nail art, and the final result was an almond nude nail design, decorated with hand-painted cartoon flowers of different colors.

It feels like springtime.

"alright."

After finishing the last stroke, Bai Tao gently patted Bai Zhenzhen's hand.

Bai Zhenzhen, who had been sitting somewhat slumped, straightened up, stretched out her arms, and tilted her head to take a closer look.

It's ordinary and simple, but there's nothing wrong with it.

"That's it? How much?"

"59.9".

Bai Zhenzhen had originally wanted to find a loophole in the price, but upon hearing how cheap it was, she couldn't find one.

"Too easy, your skill level is average."

Bai Tao smiled.

"Are you sure your current situation allows for something really exaggerated?"

Bai Zhenzhen is probably in a crucial period right now, constantly going on blind dates.

If the nails are done too extravagantly, it will leave a bad impression on those wealthy wives, and Lin Meng will also be unhappy.

Bai Zhenzhen paused for a moment, then looked at her suspiciously.

"You'd be that kind?"

"Won't.

So hurry up and post a video with your location to help us promote it.

"You're using me!"

Bai Zhenzhen glared at her and stormed off.

That night, Bai Tao lay in Pei Jin's arms, watching videos from Sun Xiaoxiao's account on her alternate account.

Sure enough, Bai Zhenzhen cut out the scene where Bai Tao did her manicure.

But when paying at the coffee shop, Bai Zhenzhen still showed off her manicured nails.

Many fans left comments in the comment section.

[Did Zhenzhen get a new manicure?]

[The design is beautiful! Where was it done? Any recommendations?]

[Requesting pictures of all ten fingers~]

Bai Tao happily tagged Qiao Yue Nail Studio's official account in the top comments, then burst out laughing on the sofa.

"What's wrong?"

Pei Jin looked down at Bai Tao lying on his lap.

Bai Tao recounted the events of the afternoon with a grin, and Pei Jin smiled after listening.

She felt embarrassed about suddenly resigning, so she used Bai Zhenzhen's fame to promote Qiao Yue in order to alleviate her guilt.

His baby is always so kind.

"By the way, Pei Jin."

"Um?"

Bai Tao looked at Pei Jin with bright, sparkling eyes.

"The house will be handed over next week. Come with me."

Pei Jin nodded.

"Yes, but the house will be registered in your name only."

Bai Tao was somewhat surprised.

Why?

Pei Jin picked her up and let her sit on his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist. The two sat facing each other.

"Because we're not married yet. The house is your personal property as it was built before marriage."

Bai Tao was stunned for a moment.

"But I didn't intend to be so calculating with you..."

Pei Jin hugged him even tighter.

"All our assets before we get married will be yours. Let's get it notarized first."

marry……

Bai Tao was somewhat stunned upon hearing this word.

Isn't this too fast?

She didn't answer, but buried her face in Pei Jin's neck and didn't say anything.

Pei Jin looked down at her, wanting to say something, but didn't.

He wants to get married.

Once the project was completed and the company started to make a profit, he wanted to get married.

Before he got together with Bai Tao, he had never thought about marrying anyone.

After getting together with Bai Tao, he never thought about being with anyone else.

He lowered his head and placed a very light kiss on the top of her head.

The light from the streetlights outside the window fell as a very thin line through the gap in the curtains.

Pei Jin pulled his arms back, turned his face to the side, rested his chin on the top of her head, and closed his eyes.

Xie Family Old House —

Xie Lingyun sat on the sofa with a paternity test report spread out in front of him.

The image of Bai Tao's boyfriend flashed before his eyes, slowly overlapping with Xie Jiahe's face.

He lowered his eyes.

No wonder he has the air of an old friend...

It turns out he is the son of an old friend.

-

After Bai Tao resigned, she never went to Qiao Yue's shop again.

Although Qiao Yue said that a seat had been reserved for her on the second floor, she still felt embarrassed to bother her any further.

She cleared the dining table and covered it with blueprints and fashion magazines that Pei Jin had bought for her, but she had no ideas.

Pei Jin suggested that we could start by copying a few famous works from the runway, which might help us find our direction.

Bai Tao thought he was right.

Bai Tao was very excited the day she received the keys to her new house.

She took Pei Jin's hand, and the two of them opened the door together and entered their new home.

It hasn't been an easy journey.

From the very beginning, the two of them squeezed together in a basement, with Pei Jin working on an assembly line carrying packages.

Later, he gradually found a job, rented a small apartment, and now he lives in this 140-square-meter house.

Bai Tao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the shadows of the trees in the park outside and the city lights gradually lighting up in the distance, her eyes welling up with tears.

Pei Jin put his arm around her shoulder, and neither of them spoke.

When people are very happy, they are inspired.

Bai Tao didn't sleep a wink all night, slumped over the dining table, sketching the rough designs of two outfits.

She doesn't know how to draw many folds yet, and she's not clear on the drape and elasticity that each type of fabric can achieve. Many details are not done well.

She stretched and decided to learn the details slowly and make changes later.

When Bai Tao looked out the window, a thin layer of gray-blue had already appeared on the horizon.

Pei Jin waited for her until he fell asleep. Wearing the gray-blue pajamas she had bought, he curled up on the sofa, his body bent over, looking somewhat cramped.

In the early hours of the morning, she told Pei Jin to go back to his room to sleep, but Pei Jin refused and insisted on staying with her.

Twenty days later, Bai Tao sent the three works to Shen Wanyin.

Shen Wanyin passed it on to Jessica.

Jessica symbolically flipped through a few pages, glancing at them casually.

It is indeed very innovative, with clean lines, bold color scheme, and a wild, untamed feel that has not yet been tamed by rules.

But she hesitated for a moment before saying on the phone,

"They are quite innovative; these designs are all quite interesting."

But starting to learn at twenty-four is a bit late.

That's not the whole reason. The most crucial reason is that Jessica doesn't think a rich girl like Bai Tao is capable of enduring the hardships of fashion design.

Shen Wanyin rolled her eyes on the other end of the phone and interrupted her.

"You said it's quite innovative, so let's give her a chance to try."

I'll invest five million for you first, is that enough?

Jessica was silent for a while.

"I'll send you the address. Tell her to get ready and come study."

Shen Wanyin hung up the phone, forwarded the address to Bai Tao, and then sent her Jessica's private WeChat account with only one sentence.

【Sweetie, it's time to go study.】

Bai Tao sat at the dining table, staring at the message for a long time.

It went too smoothly; she could hardly believe it.

She decided to pick up Pei Jin from get off work tonight to celebrate.

Bai Tao arrived without making a sound.

Sun Lishu was looking down at her phone when suddenly someone appeared in front of her. She was startled and looked up to see her boss, whose eyes were crinkled with laughter.

"That scared me to death—"

She clutched her chest, while Bai Tao chuckled.

"You got caught slacking off!"

Sun Lishu pouted.

"Please, sister, don't tell the boss!"

The project has recently reached a critical stage, and several of Song Yu's colleagues have been sleeping at the company.

Bai Tao nodded and pointed inside.

"I'm going inside to wait for Pei Jin~"

Pei Jin has been coming home late these past few days, past midnight every day.

Bai Tao had advised him several times not to stay up too late, but Pei Jin refused, saying that he would only stay up late if she slept at the company with him.

Bai Tao thought about it and realized that since it was so close, it wouldn't be a problem for Pei Jin to go home every day.

She pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, stepped inside, and closed the door behind her.

The office lights were on, and Pei Jin was looking down at the screen when he heard the door open. He looked up and glanced at the screen.

He reached out his hand to her, and Bai Tao walked over, took his hand, and sat down on the chair next to him.

Bai Tao waited for a while, feeling a bit bored. She picked up a stack of documents on Pei Jin's desk and flipped through them, discovering that it was a company change registration application.

She flipped through a few pages and saw the proposed change of company name, which read "MK Technology Co., Ltd."

Attached below is a list of materials to be submitted.

"MK? Why MK?"

She looked up at him and thought the name sounded rather sophisticated.

Pei Jin smiled, reached out and pulled her to sit on his lap.

With one arm around her waist, he took the application from her hand and placed it back on the table.

"MK stands for monkey."

Bai Tao paused for a moment, then looked at him.

He looked up and brought the white peach closer.

"Monkey, my favorite is white peach."
