Chapter 143

"Huh?!" (Li Xue Hua Xin Transformation Plan... Gu Xin Hua Xin? Talking to strangers? Li Xue) (Xia Yan Li Xue Hua Xin?!... "?" Li Xue's sudden action and the gaze that seemed to see right through her clothes made Hua Xin swallow hard, her hands covering her chest as if she were about to cry. She laughed and said, "Boss... I sell my art, not my body. I'm a person, not a cat." "If you want to do this... you'll have to pay more." "Smack!" Li Xue gave Hua Xin a light tap on the head. "What are you thinking? Who told you to sell yourself?" "Wouldn't your boyfriend be furious if he heard that?" "Don't make jokes like that in the future." "Oh, sorry." Hua Xin said, covering her head, feeling wronged. At the same time, Li Xue's words reminded her of something. In everyone's eyes... she and Xia Yan were still boyfriend and girlfriend. Both Li Xue and Xia Fen knew this, and their relationship was actually quite good... "Good my foot!!" "They'll break up in a couple of days!?" The girl formatted and deleted all her shyness from the recycle bin, then gritted her teeth and thought to herself. It's all Gu Xin Hua's fault, that vixen! Hua Xin was clearly Xia Yan's best friend!... Something seems off? Looking at Hua Xin, who was lost in thought again, Li Xue pondered with a curious expression. She hadn't expected this seemingly beautiful and aloof girl to actually be such a naive girl prone to overthinking. When she first saw her a couple of days ago, her JK uniform made Li Xue think she was some internet celebrity visiting a store. Only later did she realize that this was the beautiful girl she'd encountered while playing Landmine the other night. Honestly... the girl in front of her was really pretty, and had a great personality. Most importantly, she could tell at a glance that Hua Xin was a good girl, not the kind of woman who spent her days in bars and pool halls. She'd also noticed the worn-out Da Mi phone Hua Xin carried and the pair of clean, Little White Shoes she always wore. A thrifty and hardworking girl. Her family probably wasn't very wealthy. A slight pity rose in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface. For sensitive people, pity was hurtful. "What I mean is..." "Xiao Hua, from now on you'll be Ash Ketchum's Pikachu, Naruto's Nine-Tails, Conan's ribbon, Genshin Impact's Primogems... uh, our shop's mascot and iconic figure!!" Li Xue put her hands on her hips, laughing happily. She could already see a ton of customers flocking to her business. This time... she was absolutely going to take back everything that had been taken from her!! "Me?" "Look, the mascot?" Hua Xin pointed to herself, somewhat bewildered, then asked hesitantly. What's going on? Wasn't she here to work? Not as a mascot!!! "Tsk tsk." "Xiao Hua, don't you know how pretty you are?" "These days, people have a herd mentality." "Wearing a low-cut top and setting up a stall at the night market selling hand-whipped lemon tea, you can sell hundreds of cups a day, with queues stretching until dark. People always flock to things that are pretty and novel..." "Do you know why I don't open a maid cafe?" Li Xue's lips curled into a faint, cold smile, her expression changing from her earlier excitement. "No... no money?" the girl answered earnestly and cautiously. But in reality, she was already captivated by the hand-whipped lemon tea Li Xue had just described. Low-cut top... hand-whipped lemon tea... this lemon tea is so white and so big... no, this breast is so sweet and delicious? Hua Xin imagined the scene and suddenly wanted to see what it was like. Maybe she should ask where it was later? "Of course not." Li Xue smiled dismissively. "Of course, it was my husband who forced me to stay home forever if I wore maid outfit."... The girl fell silent for a moment, her gaze darting towards Shan Qing, who sat by the door, seemingly gesturing and instructing Xia Fen on something. Although they were face-to-face, the distance was well-maintained, with no inappropriate movements. He was clearly a perfect husband. Shan Qing was the gentle man mentioned earlier, Li Xue's husband. But judging by their appearance, they weren't very old; if they didn't have children yet... maybe around twenty or thirty? Such a contrast. Gentle and mild-mannered on the surface, but actually a domineering CEO in private? Gulp. Hua Xin swallowed hard, suddenly finding this boss couple incredibly endearing. Just like Xia Yan, seemingly gentle and sunny but secretly that annoying little shrimp-head... Stop. Why am I thinking about him again?? "Okay, just kidding." "It's because I like cats. I still have some start-up capital left from my last business venture, so I thought I'd open a cat cafe. It's easy." "After all, the target audience for petting cats is quite different from that of a maid cafe." Li Xue said quietly. "Indeed." Hua Xin nodded in agreement. If she went to a maid cafe, she would definitely have her girlfriend call her "master" first, then have her cast a spell on the omelet rice like Kita would to make it taste better, and finally, sneak a pat on the hand while the food was being served... slurp. The customers would definitely be otaku like her. "Hmm..." "So why aren't you wearing your uniform?" Li Xue glanced at Hua Xin's head and, seeing that she wasn't wearing that double-breasted thing, said somewhat seriously. "... Not very convenient?" the girl weakly protested. "Not very convenient!!!" "Don't you know this is a cat cafe! As an employee who is like a cat, you have to have the same elements!!" "?" Hua Xin was silent for a moment. Does that mean she also has to wear a cat tail? But if she were to wear them, would they be insertable or waistband style...? What was she thinking?! Absolutely not, neither tail nor ears!!! This is the bottom line!!! This is the bottom line of being a tough man and of Hua Xin's dignity! It's also what she wants to protect after Niu Niu flies away! "No cat ear clips..." "Boss, are you already wearing them?" Before Li Xue could finish speaking, the girl had already taken them from her apron pocket...
