"Did you like the surprise?" It was a message from her Dad.
Checking out her dad's message, Liu Rushi immediately got up from her chair. "What? How did this happen?"
The person who had gone to the bathroom to clean his clothes came back with a smile. "I'm sorry Miss Liu. Your dad instructed me to do so. Congratulations!"
Feng Xinglang congratulated her.
Previously, when Liu Rushi had asked her father for working in the company, he had said her no and that is the reason why she just thought instead of sitting all day at home, why not take over the flower shop business.
Other than a flower shop, Liu Jiangou also owned a company involving hotel. The business wasn't that big, but it was going just fine.
Now, when her Dad agreed to it, she couldn't believe it. She bowed at Feng Xinglang and said "Thank you, Mr. Feng!"
"But Mr. Feng you are really good at acting. It really just looked like you had come to meet me." Liu Rushi continued. She wasn't able to believe that her Dad could actually have plotted such a thing.
She thanked to her inner mind because it was also the one who made her to go for this blind date. And Of course, her wonderful experienced friend, Feng Mian. She reminded herself to call when she will reach home.
She got to know that Feng Xinglang worked as his dad's assistant. No wonder, he was seven years older than her. Reaching home, she dashed inside and hugged her father. "Daddy!! You are the best! Thank you so very much!!" She kissed him on his cheek and hugged him even tighter.
"Aigoo, that's enough. Hug your mother also." Liu Manni came from behind with eyes filled with jealousy.
Liu Rushi pretended to inhale something and said teasingly "Mmm! I smell some jealousy over here. Haha."
Her mother looked at the other side avoiding Liu Rushi. She stammered "Aigoo! Why will I even feel jealous? Hmmph! These people never know how to treat their mother."
Liu Rushi looked at her father and signaled at him. 'Should we play more?' She whispered in her father's ear. Her father shook his head.
Laughing, she let go of her father and grabbed her mother's wrist. Pulling her cheeks, she said "Ahh, My cute mom. Look at you being red with that jealousy." She chuckled at her mother's adorable jealous reaction.
Hugging her, she said "My cute mother. I'm sorry."
Liu Jiangou also came and hugged them "Now it feels complete." The three of them hugged each other.

Liu Rushi got back to her room and stretched herself. "Wow!!! It feels good. Too good to have such good people beside me. Tomorrow will be my first day at the company. I need to dress up well."
She walked towards the closet and opened it. As soon as she opened it, a dress fell from it.
She looked at the dress fallen on the floor, it was the dress which she and Lei Qingshan had gone together to buy clothes.
She took the dress in her hand and asked "Are we really over?" She felt like crying thinking about the way they both were behaving at that time.
Although, it was a happy moment for her, she couldn't help but cry. Wiping away her tears, she opened her phone to search for Lei Qingshan's contact. She wanted to know how he was feeling right now? Was he feeling just the same way as her?
Remembering that she had deleted the contact, she threw the phone on the bed. She folded the dress and kept it inside the closet.
"Now, I shouldn't think about him. I have to move on, just how he is moving on."
She took a deep breath and drifted to sleep.
In the morning, Liu Rushi wore a black pencil skirt and white buttoned top. She looked like a professional in those clothes.
She tied her hair in a ponytail and applied some light makeup on her face. Taking a look at herself in the mirror, she took a deep breath and motivated herself "You look cool, Liu Rushi."
Showing herself a thumbs up, she grabbed her purse and took a strawberry flavored balm from it.
Applying on her lips she moaned as the wonderful strawberry scent touched her olfactory sense. "This is wonderful."
Liu Rushi came out while humming a song, she hugged her parents and spun around. "Am I looking good?" She asked to her Mom and Dad who had just sat on the couch.
Her Dad nodded while her Mother said "You look entirely different. And of course pretty!"
Kissing on her Mother's and Father's cheek, she said "I'll get going. Bye bye!"
"Wait, So fast?" Her Dad asked her.
"Yeah. I want to be punctual, Dad!"
"Still..." her Dad was speaking more when she stopped him. "It's okay. I have some other place to go too. Alright, bye."
"Other place?" This time, her mother stepped forward and asked. She had a smile on her face which just showed what she was thinking.
Liu Rushi facepalmed herself. "I'm going to eat my breakfast at a restaurant. That's all!!" She explained her mother.
"I have cooked the food, you can eat here."
"It's okay, Mom. Feng Mian is also there." Waving her hands, she said her parents goodbye and left the house.
Yesterday at night after coming back from home, Liu Rushi told everything about what happened at the blind date. Feng Mian was literally shocked and surprised but she was also happy for her friend.
So, they had decided to meet up early in the morning so that they could celebrate. Not with drinks but with food, of course.
****
"Feng Mian!!" Reaching the restaurant, Liu Rushi saw Feng Mian at the entrance. She hugged her.
"Why are you standing out? You could have sat inside right?" Liu Rushi asked Feng Mian. It was a hot day today and Feng Mian stood at the entrance all drenched in sweat.
"It's okay. Muqing just dropped me over here. So I haven't been standing for long." Feng Mian explained and waited again.
"Are we waiting for someone?" Liu Rushi asked looking at Feng Mian doubtfully.
"Yeah, I invited Ye Hi An also."
"Really?" Liu Rushi jumped in excitement. "If you were bringing her too, then we could have met at night and celebrated with drinks."
"No, it's okay. Let's celebrate at night some other time, Muqing will get worried." Feng Mian said shyly.
"Ohh my god! I see some good things over here. Ohh wait! Are you blushing?" Liu Rushi started teasing Feng Mian.
"Ohh my! Why are MianMian's cheeks red?" Another voice came from across Feng Mian and Liu Rushi.
They looked sideways and saw it was He Yi An. "Finally you came." Feng Mian decided to change the subject.
"Let's go inside, it's getting hot!" Feng Mian pulled the two inside and they sat at the corner table. Liu Rushi And He Yi An sat together and Feng Mian sat opposite to them.
After adjusting themselves, He Yi An hugged Liu Rushi. "What's with the hug?" Liu Rushi asked surprised.
"Congratulations for getting the job." He Yi An said.
"Thank you." Liu Rushi smiled at her.
She was glad that she had a perfect family and perfect friends. Even if there was no love in her life, she was glad that she had the love of her family and the love of her friends.
But who knew that she was going to meet the love of her life sooner or later?
