Novel Full Chapter 92
Chapter 92 – Do You Think You are Deceiving a Child?
Qiu Xiaotong’s “Yang Yi is a b*stard” was of course only a small misunderstanding and didn’t bring Yang Yi any bloody disaster. General Qiu was old, but not yet confused. On the contrary, after his granddaughter’s explanation, he became very interested in Yang Yi’s novels.
Not only “Drawing Sword”, but also Yang Yi’s previous “Soldiers Assault”, made the old general’s blood boil and applauded, which led the old general to become a fan of Yang Yi, but it also led the Jiangnan military region to learn the spirit of “Drawing Sword” and the spirit of Xu Sanduo of not to abandon and not to give up, so that Yang Yi’s upcoming physical books found a large sales export![1]
Of course, thesewere something to be talked about later.
Thecompletion of “Drawing Sword” has brought Yang Yi a high reputation and manytimes higher income than “Soldier Assault” – which allowed him to invest inSahara Online Bookstores.
However, EditorQiang Zi was very nervous. He has been harassing Yang Yi the past few days:“My uncle, your old book has been finished for some time now, why haven’tyou planned to open a new book?”
An editor oftraditional literature daring to urge an author in this way was absolutely nota professional behavior. After all, traditional literature takes time to prepare.How could an author open a new book after he had just finished writing a book?
But this wasthe case for FreeAllNovelFulls. if one wanted to maintain one’s popularity, one must keepon having new content to retain the readers’ attention.
However,Yang Yi wasn’t an ordinary online writer. He was indifferent to Qiang Zi’s urging:“I have no plan to open a new book yet. Let’s take a rest for amonth.”
“How’sthat going to work?” Qiang Zi said anxiously.
But Yang Yi wouldn’teasily change his plans, so Qiangzi had to take a step back and settle for thesecond best: “Then you have to tell us about your next new book, its subjectmatter and a brief introduction, so that we can arrange publicity for you toretain popularity!”
However,Yang Yi’s next answer made Qiangzi want to die: “There is no briefintroduction. As for the subject matter, I can disclose that I intend to writeabout crime.”
“What?”Qiang Zi was dumbfounded. “Are you not going to write about the militaryanymore? Or are you writing about military crimes?”
“No,it’s a crime. Oh, by the way, I have something else to do. Bye!” Yang Yihung up the phone, leaving Qiang Zi, who was in a mess, alone in the office.
Yang Yi wasn’tevading, he was really busy! Who asked Qiang Zi to call at the wrong time? AndYang Yi couldn’t stay long. Xixi was sitting in the car alone. Although the airconditioner was on, it wasn’t safe after all.
Afterputting down the phone, Yang Yi went back to the cake shop and continued todescribe to the clerk: “the approximate style is like what I drew on thepaper. You have to make it have the feeling of ice and snow.” .
“Yes, Iknow it takes a lot of work, but after inquiring for a long time, I got to knowthat your craftsmanship here is more reliable! So as long as I’m satisfied,money is not a problem…”
Yes, Yang Yiwas ordering a cake for Xixi!
It was MoFei who told Yang Yi that July 13 was his daughter’s birthday. So, in order todo well in his first birthday party for Xixi, Yang Yi began to prepare two daysin advance, including ordering cakes, buying some decorations, gifts and so on.
Of course,in order to surprise Xixi, Yang Yi, naturally, had to order a cake from thecake shop without telling Xixi!
Afterdealing with it, Yang Yi returned to the car, and Xixi was already a littleimpatient.
The littlegirl pouted and deliberately waited for her father to look at her after he got inthe car, before turning her head angrily to express her strong dissatisfaction.
“Okay, okay.Papa is sorry. I shouldn’t have gone out that long and kept Xixi waiting for along time.” Yang Yi smiled. How could he not see the little girl’s littletrick?
“Idon’t care about you!” The little girl said angrily.
“Why?”Yang Yi, an eight-foot man, became tender in front of his daughter, and asked,pretending to be aggrieved.
Xixi justturned her head and the expression on her young face was still very serious:“Because you said you would take Xixi out shopping to buy clothes, but inthe end, you left her in the car and went shopping by yourself! Yang Yi, do youthink you are deceiving a child?”
Yang Yicouldn’t help laughing at the serious appearance of Xixi, but the “YangYi” at the end immediately made Yang Yi disarrayed.
Where did thislittle girl learn Mo Fei’s tone? And so likelife!
“Coughcough, Papa just went to do something and didn’t deceive Xixi!” Yang Yisaid with a wry smile.
“Really?”Xixi loosen up.
Yang Yinodded and said, “Yes, now it’s time to go shopping!”
Xixi’sexpression eased up. She sighed deeply and said, “Well, then I forgiveyou.”
The child’sanger comes quickly and dissipates quickly. Not long after Yang Yi started thecar, Xixi pestered him and asked, “Papa, where are we going to play?”
“Is itvery close?”
“Are you going to buy a lot of clothes for Xixi?”
Xixi is like a 100,000 whys[2]. She couldn’t stop asking.
In fact, children are quite annoying. Sometimes they would ask some questions over and over again, and if you don’t answer them in time, they could repeat them hundreds of times like a repeater.
Fortunately, Yang Yi’s character was relatively patient. He could endure Xixi’s Tang Sanzang-like[3] nagging that happened sometimes. In addition, he was really free. He could patiently answer the little girl’s question without interfering with his business – opening an unpopular coffee shop and writing novels.
Although themain purpose of coming out this afternoon was to order a cake for his daughter,but since he has agreed to take Xixi shopping, Yang Yi has to fulfill hispromise.
This time, instead of going to Haihong Shopping Mall in the Binhai District, he came to the pedestrian street in Wuhu District at the LC area – because the cake shop was in Wuhu District.
Of course, the things sold in this pedestrian street[4] weren’t as expensive as Haihong Shopping Mall. Most of them were small businesses, and most of the people who come shopping were residents in the LC area. In the past, Yang Yi was cash-strapped. If he had to buy some clothes, he would choose this pedestrian street.
So this timewhen shopping, Yang Yi might as well take the nostalgic route.
Taking hisdaughter to stroll around, going from shop to shop, Xixi was full of sight, butthey didn’t buy anything, because there weren’t many children’s clothing shopsin this pedestrian street.
Instead, itwas a jewelry store that attracted Yang Yi and Xixi to stop.
“Do youlike this? Wear it, and you’ll really look like a little princess!” YangYi smiled and took off a silver, beaded tiara and brought it to Xixi.
The price wasvery cheap, with a tag of 20 yuan on the shelf. Yang Yi knew that if he waswilling to bargain, there would be a negotiation space of 10 yuan at most.
It could beseen that this taira couldn’t be made of metal. At most, it was made ofplastic, and so were the beads. They were all glossy plastic beads.
However,Xixi still liked it very much. She looked in the mirror and raised her skirt andsway it side to side, proudly showing off.
“We’lltake this!” Yang Yi smiled and handed the money to the shopkeeper.
Nostalgia wasOK, but Yang Yi didn’t like bargaining. After all, he wasn’t who he used to be.

[1] This was a poorly constructed sentence. I’m really bad at English. The point of this paragraph was that both “Drawing Sword” and “Soldiers Assualt” made the old general’s blood boil while he was reading it and at the same time he couldn’t help applaud it. This led to him becoming Yang Yi’s fan. This also led the Jiangnan military region to learn the spirit of “Drawing Sword” (which I forgot), and the spirit of Xu Sanduo’s spirit of not to abandon and not to give up, so that Yang Yi’s upcoming physical books found a large scale export. (How could the military region know the spirit of those if they didn’t buy the physical book?)
