The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 441 Be My Girlfriend

As night falls, the neon lights of Z City illuminate one after another, like a dazzling sea of ​​stars scattered across every inch of the city.

In the distance, the traffic on the overpass meandered like a silver river, and the buildings illuminated by the lights seemed to be draped in a golden veil.

The air was filled with a humid atmosphere, and occasionally a gentle breeze would sweep across the street corner, bringing a touch of coolness and a faint smell of cooking.

Zhao Wanqing pushed open the heavy iron door of the clothing store.

With a low creak, she stepped into the long-unseen little shop.

Three years ago, she personally closed the door of this shop.

Now that I've returned, the place is completely empty.

The neatly arranged clothes racks, fitting mirrors, and dazzling array of clothing were nowhere to be seen.

Only a few patches of mottled paint remain, telling the story of the passage of time.

She stood in front of the counter, her fingers gently gliding across the wooden tabletop, feeling its rough texture.

Memories flooded my mind—

Those busy days, the laughter of customers, and the little shop assistant who always followed her around.

Back then, he was just a naive young man, but now...

Just then, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared at the door.

Zhao Wanqing raised her head and fixed her gaze on that person.

It's Qin Jiangwu!

Three years have passed, and he is no longer the naive little boy he once was.

He now has a tall and straight figure with broad shoulders, and he is wearing a well-tailored dark jacket, making him look energetic and capable.

His eyes were still clear, but now they held a maturity and determination.

It even subtly exudes an artistic temperament, like the verses of poetry not completely buried between the pages of a book.

"Boss, you're back."

Qin Jiangwu's voice was calm, but it carried an undisguised excitement.

Zhao Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, then revealed a gentle smile.

"Little shop assistant, are you alright? I... I completely forgot your name."

"Boss, my name is Qin Jiangwu. Have you forgotten?"

He asked, sounding somewhat helpless.

Zhao Wanqing teased the shop assistant on purpose, explaining with a smile:

"No, it's just that my shop has been closed for so long, why are you still thinking of coming here?"

"Boss, you've been missing for three years. I often come to check if you've come back."

Qin Jiangwu's tone was serious, as if every word had been carefully considered.

"Then why did you come here? There must be a reason."

Zhao Wanqing pressed for more information.

"Boss, I'm just curious where you went."

Qin Jiangwu paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant.

Zhao Wanqing walked up to him, looked into his bright eyes, and slowly said:

"Qin Jiangwu, I'm only giving you one chance. Tell me the real reason you came here, or don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the sound of their breathing was particularly clear in the silent space.

Qin Jiangwu lowered his head, put his hands in his pockets, and after a moment raised his head, his voice low but firm:

"Boss, no, Sister Wanqing... I like you."

These words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples in Zhao Wanqing's heart.

She was stunned, never expecting that this little boy would say such a thing.

Qin Jiangwu stood there blankly, his expression so complex it was impossible to decipher.

There was both trepidation and a sense of relief after going all out.

After a long while, Zhao Wanqing came to her senses. She did not respond immediately, but turned to look out the window.

The night view of Z City was still dazzling, but at this moment, her heart was occupied by another emotion.

Perhaps, this was an unexpected reunion arranged by fate;

Or perhaps, this is a choice she was destined to face on her life's journey.

"Qin Jiangwu,"

Zhao Wanqing spoke softly.

"You know what? For the past three years, I've also been searching for the answer..."

Qin Jiangwu stared blankly at Zhao Wanqing:

"Boss, what answer are you looking for?"

Zhao Wanqing smiled:

"I'm wondering if you still like me, if you're still waiting for me when I come back."

Upon hearing that he had a chance, Qin Jiangwu immediately said:

"I've been waiting for you here all along, boss, Sister Wanqing. I've always liked you."

Zhao Wanqing's radiant smile bloomed, resembling a rose in the night:

"Then starting tomorrow, will you still come to work at my shop? Let's see if you're telling the truth or not?"

Qin Jiangwu laughed when he heard this:

"Sister Wanqing, that's great! You've allowed me to pursue you."

Zhao Wanqing nodded:

Whether you can win my heart depends on your performance.

The next day, the morning sun shone through the thin mist onto the streets.

Zhao Wanqing came to the store again.

"Let's start with cleaning."

She muttered to herself, picked up a broom, and went into the store.

This morning, Qin Jiangwu got up very early to go to the market to select some fresh flowers.

"Boss, isn't this bouquet of roses lovely?"

Qin Jiangwu pointed to a bunch of red roses on the stall and asked.

The flower seller nodded with a smile:

"Young man, you have a good eye! But I think it would be even more special with a few lilies."

Qin Jiangwu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed the advice and wrapped the roses and lilies together.

He also bought a box of handmade chocolates, thinking that girls would like this sweet little surprise.

Holding a bouquet of flowers and chocolates, Qin Jiangwu strode towards Zhao Wanqing's shop.

When Qin Jiangwu pushed open the shop door, Zhao Wanqing was squatting on the ground wiping the floor.

Hearing the voice, she looked up and saw it was him, a surprised smile appearing on her face.

"You're here so early?"

"Yeah, I just happened to be passing by, so I brought you some things."

Qin Jiangwu handed over the bouquet, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hope you like it."

Zhao Wanqing took the bouquet, smelled it, and was immediately captivated by its delightful fragrance.

"Thank you, it's really beautiful! How did you know that lilies are my favorite flower?"

Qin Jiangwu smiled but did not answer the question.

Actually, this was an answer he had come to after observing for a long time. But not wanting to make the atmosphere awkward, he changed the subject:

"I see you're working hard all by yourself and you look tired. Let me help you."

Zhao Wanqing nodded.

"Then it's hard work for you."

The two divided the work: one was responsible for wiping the table, and the other was responsible for organizing the shelves.

Although it was just simple work, they were surprisingly in perfect harmony.

The occasional casual chat made the whole process feel relaxed and pleasant.

"Sister Wanqing, why did you choose to reopen?"

Qin Jiangwu finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.

By evening, the shop was basically tidied up.

Zhao Wanqing turned on the light, and the soft light shone on the wall, adding a touch of warmth to the entire space.

Qin Jiangwu, watching Zhao Wanqing's busy figure, suddenly spoke:

"Wanqing, be my girlfriend, I don't want to miss out again!"

Zhao Wanqing paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
