I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Xiang Xiaoyuan Wants to Eat Hotpot
To Grandma Chen’s son, this was just a few words. But to Xiang Xiaoyuan, it was the biggest order since the opening of the store, and it was a long-term and stable business.

There were a lot of real estate development agencies. Before Xiang Xiaoyuan transmigrated into the novel, she also went to many of these offices. Most of which would provide drinks and snacks. With Grandma Chen’s help, Xiang Xiaoyuan had signed a contract with Grandma Chen’s son. She supplied the goods according to the list provided by the other party and sent the invoice at the end of the month.

It could be said that just by relying on Grandma Chen’s son’s order, she could sustain this convenience store.

Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered that she had her fortune told by tarot cards. The tarot cards said that she was destined to meet a lot of noble people in her life. If she was just an office worker, then she would have someone to guide her as usual. If she started her own business, then her fortune would be boundless.

Xiang Xiaoyuan herself did not believe in these metaphysics. However, most people were addicted to it and believed in it. Therefore, she had been dragged along a few times. She chose to believe in the good words. As for bad omen, she felt that this thing was too mysterious and unreliable.

However, everyone who had read her fortune said that she would have a prosperous life. Perhaps because she had heard that many times, she subconsciously believed in it. This led to her being interested in business and making money when she was very young.

Thinking about it, it made sense. How would she be able to make a fortune just by working for others?

Since the convenience store opened, everything had been smooth sailing. Xiang Xiaoyuan was in a very good mood. So naturally, she was more willing to continue down this path.

Butler Liu said that Lu Wanggui had an international meeting that would last until midnight. In order not to disturb her sleep, he would stay in a hotel suite near the company for the night. In fact, recently, Lu Wanggui had not been coming home much. The Lu Group had a wide range of businesses that spanned many fields. Lu Wanggui had also invested in a five-star hotel. It was said that the owner of the hotel was his old friend. So the hotel had reserved a presidential suite for him.

This hotel was very close to the Lu Group’s building. It was only a few minutes drive away. Therefore, Lu Wanggui spent half of his time staying in the hotel. He was true to his reputation as a workaholic.

Whether or not Lu Wanggui came home, it would not make any difference to Xiang Xiaoyuan. In fact, if he did not come back, she would be more at ease. The entire bedroom, including the bathroom, and the big bed were all hers. Actually, when Xiang Xiaoyuan thought about it, she was also surprised that she could share a bed with a man who was not her boyfriend for so long.

If one were to ask for the reason, it was probably because Lu Wanggui’s temperament was unique. His calm and tolerant nature made people trust him, and even feel at ease.

Sometimes, she would think that as long as she did not take the initiative to fulfill her marital obligation, Lu Wanggui would not touch her. This person was an actual saint!

She was so happy!

After Xiang Xiaoyuan took a comfortable bath, she lay on the big bed and rolled around. Her happiness was beyond words. When her excitement calmed down a little, she hugged the blanket and played with her phone on the bed.

She was on Wechat, Douyin, and Weibo, having fun while browsing.

When it was almost 10 o’clock, Xiang Xiaoyuan found that a blogger she had followed had posted a video of her eating hotpot. This made Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly realize that she had not eaten hotpot for so long!

She had lll kinds of seafood, shark’s fin, bird’s nest, and even the city’s specialty, causing her to abandon her favorite hotpot. How could this be!

It would be fine if she didn’t see the hotpot, but when she saw it, she wanted to have it.

She wasn’t hungry. It was just a simple craving, and her mouth was empty.

She decided to just go ahead. Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly got up from her bed and opened the takeout app to search for nearby restaurants. She decisively picked a hotpot restaurant with good reviews and placed an order.

The delivery fee would be much higher at this time, but it didn’t matter. Nothing could stop her from eating hotpot! After ordering her favorite dishes, she waited eagerly for the delivery boy to arrive.

Half an hour later, a call came. The delivery boy was wearing his work clothes and knocking on the door. At this time, Butler Liu and Nanny Zhang had gone to the next-door building to rest. She took the food from the delivery boy and thanked him politely. After that, she rubbed her hands together and prepared to eat hotpot.

She first tidied up the coffee table in the living room, moved the fruit platter to one side, and placed the food ingredients and small pot brought by the delivery boy on the coffee table. She then turned on the television to watch her favourite variety show.
