Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance-Chapter 98: Buying the Shop

Li Yitian looked seriously at Gu Yi’s head, wondering how many more surprises were hidden within.

"What are you doing, staring at my hair like that? Do you think it’s grown too well? It’s kind of creepy."

Gu Yi touched her hair.

"I’m thinking about how many more of your surprising ideas haven’t been used yet."

Li Yitian said, glancing again at Gu Yi’s head.

"Alright, stop looking. How are things going with the supplier you were looking for?"

Gu Yi recalled their custom clothing deal.

"We’ve already talked with them. The price is 5 points higher than before, the design fee for a piece of clothing is 500 yuan, and it will take some time for the sample clothes to be made."

Gu Yi considered the price reasonable.

"Okay, then I’ll head back now. You can bring your friend to see me tomorrow."

Gu Yi didn’t want to stay with Li Yitian; his gaze seemed to wish to open her head and take a look inside.

She better keep a distance from him.

Gu Yi returned home and called Ye Hao’s office.

"Ye Hao, I’m going to check out the shop with Yitian tomorrow. I’m staying in the city tonight and won’t be back; you can eat at the cafeteria tonight."

"Alright, I got it. You’ll be back tomorrow?"

Ye Hao didn’t want Gu Yi alone in the city, but he knew for sure that she wouldn’t be back today.

His implication was that Gu Yi should return home tomorrow night.

Gu Yi’s lips curved into a smile when she heard him say that over the phone.

"Yes, I’ll definitely be back tomorrow. I’ve already started missing you since we parted."

Gu Yi’s tone became sort of coy.

Ye Hao’s lips curled up as well, but just as he was about to speak, someone knocked on his office door.

"Lock the door tightly tonight and rest early, I need to work now."

"Got it."

Once Gu Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

After the call, Gu Yi went out to buy some lunch and also bought a few apples.

She had been running around all morning and was exhausted, so she started her afternoon nap after lunch.

She slept until three in the afternoon.

For dinner, she was too lazy to go out to buy food, so she just ate an apple for dinner.

With too much sleep in the afternoon, she had trouble sleeping at night, so she picked up a novel she had bought and started reading.

Meanwhile, Ye Hao in the army also found it hard to sleep. During this period, the two of them had been together every day, and suddenly, Gu Yi wasn’t home—he felt unaccustomed.

With Gu Yi not at home, the house seemed emptier.

People do change; if someone had told him two years ago.

That he would feel uncomfortable because his partner was not home, he would loudly tell them it was impossible.

The next day, when Gu Yi went downstairs to meet Li Yitian, Li Yitian’s friend was also there.

"My friend Zhang Yusheng, this is Gu Yi."

"I’ve often heard Yitian mention you; it’s so nice to finally meet you in person, a pleasure!"

As soon as Li Yitian introduced them, Zhang Yusheng quickly greeted.

"Hello, hello, and thank you for making the trip."

Gu Yi expressed her gratitude to him.

"Don’t mention it; it’s just a small favor. I know the shop owner, so when Yitian asked for help, I just inquired."

Zhang Yusheng looked noticeably sharper than Li Yitian, but he managed his demeanor well, without being off-putting.

Thanks to Zhang Yusheng, Gu Yi and the shop owner negotiated quickly.

Once inside the shop, Gu Yi carefully examined every corner.

This storefront seemed to have been developed but never rented out, so it was still in its raw state inside.

After confirming there were no issues with the shop, everyone went to the property management bureau to complete the paperwork.

Also due to Zhang Yusheng’s connections, the shop owner handed over the keys to Gu Yi and her group in advance.

However, fearing any potential hiccups, the owner asked Gu Yi for a 2000 yuan deposit.

He promised to return the money once Gu Yi’s payment for the shop reached his account.

Gu Yi found it perfectly normal and thus agreed.

After paying, she took the keys.

In the afternoon, Gu Yi treated Li Yitian and Zhang Yusheng to lunch.

Li Yitian wanted something spicy, so the three of them found a Sichuan restaurant.

After lunch, Gu Yi handed the keys over to Li Yitian.

"You hold the keys; the decoration style should mimic the current shop’s style."

"Got it."

Li Yitian took the keys.

"The shop’s name should also be changed to Jingying and the trademark added. That way, people can tell it’s ours at a glance."

Gu Yi said as she lifted her cup to sip some water.

"By the way, have you gotten back the brand and trademark?"

Gu Yi followed up with a question.

"Yes, it’s in the shop; I forgot to show it to you yesterday."

Once Gu Yi arrived, Li Yitian started discussing the shop matters, and he had forgotten about that.

"It’s fine, as long as it’s handled; make sure to safeguard it well. You and your friend should head back; I need to return to the army."

Gu Yi said goodbye to Zhang Yusheng and headed directly back to her home in B City.

Seeing nothing needed tidying, she grabbed two novels and went to the station to catch a ride back to the army. ƒreewebɳovel.com

After training ended, everyone saw Ye Hao hurrying home, thinking something was wrong.

But judging by his expression, he was rather delighted.

"I bet Mrs. is back; yesterday when I went to deliver documents, I heard the deputy battalion commander asking Mrs. to return today."

A young soldier seeing everyone’s curiosity spoke about what he heard.

"But didn’t Mrs. leave yesterday morning? Is our deputy battalion commander now that inseparable from his wife?"

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

But after laughing, a bit of envy arose; who doesn’t wish for a warm home with wife and kids?

Gu Yi had finished cooking when she heard the door opening.

"Quick, wash up and eat."

Gu Yi brought the dishes from the kitchen to the coffee table.

Ye Hao hurried forward to take them.

"Habit is really terrifying."

As soon as Ye Hao finished washing and sat down to eat with Gu Yi, he suddenly said this.

"Why say that?"

Gu Yi looked at him.

"When you’re not home at night, the house feels so empty, and everything seems dull."

Ye Hao told Gu Yi how he felt yesterday.

Gu Yi didn’t speak; she just watched him with a smile.

"Why are you smiling?"

Ye Hao felt a bit embarrassed by her laughter.

"It means I’m in your heart, and that makes me happy."

Once Gu Yi said this, Ye Hao’s face turned red.

"I’ve always had feelings for you, alright!"

Ye Hao muttered softly and continued eating.

But Gu Yi heard it.

She put down her bowl, stood up, approached Ye Hao, cupped his face with both hands, and gave him a big kiss.

Before she could pull back, Ye Hao’s arms were already around her waist.

"It’s been a while since I called back home; I wonder how things are there?"

After a long time, Gu Yi’s voice came from the bedroom.

"There shouldn’t be any problems. If there were, my parents would have called by now. Why don’t I call them tomorrow and ask?"

Ye Hao comforted Gu Yi.

"Alright, but I’m hungry now. Can we eat the food outside?"

"It’s cold; I’ll go heat it up."

The army was quiet, but the sound of frying rice came from Ye Hao’s kitchen.
