Chapter 24: Pregnant on the first try, and twins at once!
Those are such familiar words.
But when the same words come out of Li Xi's mouth, they become lines from a wish-fulfillment novel.
"However, I find it dirty if someone else has worn the dress."
Staring disdainfully at the little white dress Jiang Qingkong was wearing, Li Xi suggested to Sister Zhou, "How about this, I'll pay an extra dry cleaning fee, and you can help me clean Miss Jiang's dress and put it in the store as a promotional item."
"From now on, any woman who comes to our store to rent a wedding dress will be able to rent one, even if it's just a penny or a dollar!"
"Oh, and when you rent it out, remember to compliment the renter on their discerning eye, saying they share the same aesthetic taste as Miss Jiang..."
Li Xi has truly mastered the art of killing not only the man but also his spirit.
This time, Jiang Qingkong was really about to faint.
"Miss Jiang!" Seeing Jiang Qingkong rolling her eyes in exasperation, Sister Zhou quickly waved to Xue Ni and helped her to lie down on the sofa.
Sister Zhou helped Jiang Qingkong take off her tight-fitting white dress, covered her with a blanket, and personally fed her water and fanned her...
Finally, Jiang Qingkong came back to life.
By this time, Li Xi had changed into her own clothes and readily signed the purchase contract.
She walked over with the contract in her hand, looked down at Jiang Qingkong with a gentle smile, and said with a double meaning, "Miss Jiang likes to pick up trash from the trash can as if it were a treasure. That's just your peculiar hobby. Don't assume that everyone is like you, who loves to pick up trash and eat leftovers."
After saying that, Li Xi kicked the little white dress next to the sofa away, saying, "Clothes are like men; if they get dirty, you should kick them away."
"I am leaving."
Before leaving, Li Xi made a heart shape with her hands towards Jiang Qingkong and offered her heartfelt blessings: "Wishing Miss Jiang and Mr. Xie a happy marriage and a long and happy life together!"
Jiang Qingkong, who had just recovered from her loss, almost couldn't take another bite.

Xue Ni escorted Li Xi to the subway station entrance.
She held Li Xi's hand and asked worriedly, "You just completely offended Jiang Qingkong. Aren't you afraid of her revenge?"
"What's there to be afraid of? What's meant to happen can't be avoided. Since we can't avoid it, we should take the initiative." Li Xi flicked Xue Ni's short, curly hair and asked her, "But what about you? Will this affect your work?"
Xue Ni waved her hand dismissively, saying, "The worst that can happen is I get fired. As long as we artisans have good skills, we can find work anywhere."
"By the way, was what Jiang Qingkong said earlier true? Have you really broken ties with the Xie family?" Xue Ni held Li Xi's hand.
Xue Ni understands Li Xi; she is someone who is very afraid of causing trouble for others.
Xue Ni is very worried about Li Xi, worried that she has nowhere to go, but she is stubborn and refuses to ask her for help.
"Xixi, do you have a place to stay now? If you don't have anywhere to go, you can move in with me. My rented room is a bit small, but the bed is 1.2 meters wide."
"We're both skinny, we can squeeze in and sleep together."
"Don't worry, I have money, I won't end up homeless."
Knowing that Xue Ni was genuinely worried about him, Li Xi told her his new home address: "I'm currently living in Lanting Apartments, the one across the river from Dongzhou Commercial Street."
"You can come visit me at Lanting when you're on vacation. I just moved to a new house and I need a friend to have a housewarming dinner with me."
Xue Ni immediately patted her chest and said, "I'll go tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow won't work, I have to go to a birthday party tomorrow." After thinking for a moment, Li Xi said, "How about this weekend?"
That is, three days later.
"At that time, I'll invite another friend, and we'll have a meal together. I'll also introduce you two to each other."
This other friend refers to Jiang Xinghe.
Jiang Xinghe helped with the rental, so Li Xi should treat him to a meal out of courtesy and reason.
Li Xi suddenly asked Xue Ni, "Have you ever thought about changing your work environment? For example, becoming a makeup artist on a film set and doing makeup for the lead actors."
"Is that a job I can just switch to whenever I want?" Xue Ni smiled bitterly. She said, "To get a job on a film set doing makeup for celebrities, you need connections, background, and experience..."
Li Xi asked, "If such an opportunity really came up, would you go?"
Seeing that Li Xi was serious, Xue Ni thought for a moment before saying, "Go!"
Being able to do makeup for big stars in the entertainment industry is the ultimate goal for every professional makeup artist, and Xue Ni is no exception.
Given such an opportunity, how could she possibly refuse?
"Then take some time to study film and television makeup. Opportunity always favors the prepared mind."
"it is good."
Having arranged to meet Xue Ni on the weekend, Li Xi carried her luxurious dress, worth over 600,000 yuan, and squeezed onto the subway for four yuan.
When Li Xi returned to her apartment, she happened to run into Jiang Xinghe while waiting for the elevator on the first floor.
With a cool motorcycle helmet tucked under his arm, Jiang Xinghe leaned against the wall outside the elevator and asked Li Xi, "What have you been doing? I knocked on your door earlier, but no one answered."
"What do you want from me?"
"I was worried you'd be bored, so I was thinking of taking you to the racetrack." Noticing that Li Xi was carrying a large, expensive gift box, Jiang Xinghe asked curiously, "What are you carrying?"
Li Xi smiled jokingly and said, "A dress worth 600,000."
Jiang Xinghe stared in disbelief, unable to resist exclaiming, "What kind of clothes cost 600,000? A jade burial suit? Just dug out from underground?"
Li Xi shook her head. "No, I just snatched it back from your sister."
Jiang Xinghe's gaze darkened. "You ran into Jiang Qingkong again?"
Li Xi then told Jiang Xinghe what had happened at the photography studio earlier.
After hearing the whole story, Jiang Xinghe couldn't help but spit. "Although you were wronged, you handled this matter beautifully."
"By the way, what are you buying this dress for?"
"What do you think?" Li Xi reminded him, "Tomorrow is Old Master Gu's birthday."
"You're really going to spend so much money to attend some old geezer's birthday party? What? You're really planning to sleep with Gu Huaizhou?"
Without a second thought, Li Xi said, "Sleep, I'll sleep tomorrow night! I even specially picked out a sundress, just so it'll be easier."
Jiang Xinghe gasped in shock, then immediately gave Li Xi a thumbs up, "Awesome! Then I wish you... instant fame tomorrow, getting pregnant on your first try, and getting pregnant with twins!"
"get out."
Jiang Xinghe went back into the elevator and down to the underground parking garage to get his motorcycle.
Just then, the adjacent observation elevator came up from the underground parking garage and stopped on the first floor.
Li Xi walked in carrying a dress worth 600,000 yuan, and happened to bump into Gu Zhen, who was on his way to pick up Patrick from the pet hospital.
Gu Zhen was carrying a carrier, and Patrick was fast asleep inside. There was also a cat toy stuck on top of the carrier.
It was the one that Li Xi bought at the pet hospital.
Upon seeing Gu Zhen, Li Xi felt a chill run down her spine.
Gu Zhen pressed the elevator open button and reminded Li Xi, "Aren't we going upstairs?"
Li Xi quickly went inside.
The elevator slowly ascended.
Patrick Star had opened his cat eyes at some point and was tilting his head to look at Li Xi.
Having received no response from Li Xi, Patrick Star lazily meowed, "Meow!"
Li Xi looked down and glanced at Patrick Star in surprise.
Hasn't this little thing always disliked her?
Li Xi asked Gu Zhen, "Professor Gu, your Patrick Star barked, what was it saying?"
Gu Zhen's thin lips curled slightly, and he said with a half-smile, "I'm probably saying that some people will become famous overnight and become mothers after sleeping with someone?"
