Chapter 419: Chapter 445: Drifting Apart
Gu Junming laughed and said, "Alright, | won't force you to do anything you don’t want to do. Do whatever you
wish, I'll support you. Don’t be afraid of offending anyone."
Sun Chan laughed and said, "I understand! Don’t worry, | won't wrong myself."
In her past life, she endured too much and lived for appearances. This life, she is determined to live freely and
never do anything she doesn’t want to do.
Gu Junming asked again, "How is your shop going?"
Sun Chan perked up immediately, "Well, it's about to open. I'm busy with a lot of things, but despite the hustle
and bustle, | feel fulfilled. Working with them helpsaccumulate plenty of experience."
Sun Chan didn’t know any of the embroidery techniques those workers had.
Not only were they skilled at sewing, but salso knew special embroidery techniques which were quite
unique. Sun Chan made an effort to learn from them and thought these embroideries could be used on clothes,
like hems, cuffs, and corners. She told Gu Junming how she marked a little emblem on clothes after learning
embroidery methods.
"It can serve as my brand's trademark. It's a really beautiful spider lily design." The blossoming flowers, with

After finishing it, she even showed it to Han Dong. Han Dong liked it very much and decided to add such flowers
to the new store's plaque as a distinctive emblem.
Gu Junming nodded, "Yeah, you have a great mind, the shape of these flowers is really nice, | think it's quite
beautiful too."
"Right?" Sun Chan laughed, "I think our country’s embroidery is truly exquisite, | definitely want to study it
thoroughly when | have time. Handcrafted decorations can be used too. They might add that finishing touch on
the clothes?"
"Indeed, very creative." Smelling the fragrance emanating from Sun Chan, Gu Junming felt somewhat restless.
"But I'm a bit worried, it would be bad if we lose money. Han Dong has invested quite a bit. If the business
doesn’t succeed, wouldn't | be done for?" She nervously pinched her fingers.
"Don’t worry. You've done your best on what you could; the rest is left to fate. Even if it fails, it won't be a big
deal. At worst, we put up a stall together and sell the clothes directly, how does that sound?"
Sun Chan couldn't help but laugh, "You're a cadre at the headquarters, don’t you feel embarrassed about setting
up a stall?"
"What's embarrassing? As long as it's money earned rightly, it's worthy of respect," said Gu Junming, while
touching the buttons on her nightgown, kissing her red lips, "It's late, let's sleep." Having said that, he pressed
down on her.
Sun Chan, both embarrassed and angry, slapped his back, "I'm still talking to you, what's the rush?"
"I'm dying from urgency, let's leave it for tomorrow, we have more important stuff to do now."
Sun Chan's face flushed; the important stuff he was referring to was... this person really! But there wasn’t time
to dwell on it; his kisses overwhelmed her, and they spent a sweet night together.
When she woke up, Gu Junming had already left. He exercises at six every day, so he gets up at five-thirty and
leaves. Sun Chan originally wanted to make breakfast for Gu Junming, but she was too tired and didn’t manage
to get up again.
After freshening up, she went to the kitchen, only to find egg fried rice on the table, made by Gu Junming. Next
to it was a bowl of tomato soup. She felt a warmth in her heart and picked up the bowl to eat.
After finishing breakfast and tidying up briefly, Sun Chan set off.
Her new shop had a lot going on, and she had to be on top of her time. Although she was quite happy these
days, the families in the compound were observing her from behind and gossiping increasingly, though she was
unaware.
Today Han Dong didn’t have tto pick her up, so she took the bus herself. Several army wives were already
seated on the bus, talking and laughing quietly, but they quieted down and stared at her when Sun Chan got on,
giving her their attention.
Sun Chan was wearing a white shirt with bamboo-shaped patterns, made from very light material. Below, she
wore a cool black chiffon skirt. Holding a black leather handbag, she looked every bit the stylish city woman.
She was entirely unlike those gray-faced housewives.
The women felt a bit inferior and harbored various feelings of envy and jealousy.
Sun Chan could see these complex emotions in their eyes but remained indifferent.
She sat in the passenger seat beside the driver in front and took out a sketch, trying to see if she could make
any alterations to make the skirt look better.
At that moment, someone behind her spoke up, "Sun Chan, what are you doing there?"
