Listening to Yu Jin's teasing, Fang Xun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
This woman's flirting skills were too high...
Perhaps only the mischievous fox from Inazuma could compete with her.
And the inexperienced little Ningguang didn't understand Yu Jin's… jokes.
Her beautiful, bright eyes blinked constantly, sometimes looking at Fang Xun, sometimes at Yu Jin.
Were adults always this strange when they talked??
(??In??)
Yu Jin didn't continue teasing Fang Xun and started to busy herself with the blueprints.
Because Fang Xun had designed a simplified version of Orchid in the Silk,
it didn't take months to produce.
Furthermore, Yu Jin's tailoring skills were superb,
and the Orchid in the Silk was successfully completed around noon.
Fang Xun glanced at the Orchid in the Silk made by Yu Jin,
and it wasn't much different from what he'd imagined.
This showed that Yu Jin's craftsmanship was indeed very good.
And when Ningguang saw the Orchid in the Silk, her eyes sparkled, revealing an expression of great delight.
It was obvious.
She took an immediate liking to the dress.
"Fang Xun, you're so amazing! You can design such beautiful clothes!"
"Aunt Yu Jin is also very skillful; this dress is really pretty!"
Ningguang couldn't help but exclaim.
Children always speak their minds; she genuinely thought the dress was beautiful.
Yu Jin handed the dress to Ningguang and spoke softly, "Little Ningguang, try on the new dress quickly and let Auntie see if it fits, and if any alterations are needed."
Yu Jin's expression was gentle,
Perhaps it was because she also had a daughter.
So, she was filled with affection for little Ningguang.
Fang Xun also gently patted Ningguang's little head, and then softly said, "Go change into the new clothes and see how they look."
Ningguang nodded obediently, nervously and carefully taking Orchid in the Silk into the fitting room.
Not long after,
Ningguang, wearing Orchid in the Silk, slowly walked out.
Fang Xun heard the movement and looked up.
The little Ningguang in front of him already felt completely different from when they first met.
They say clothes make the man, and that saying couldn't be truer.
Ningguang was naturally fair-skinned, but the coarse cloth she wore had dulled her radiance.
Now, dressed in Orchid in the Silk, the little girl's beauty immediately shone through.
Anyone who saw Ningguang now would be stunned by her.
Little Ningguang was fair and clean, quiet and well-behaved.
At the same time, she possessed a unique aura.
It was an innate temperament.
Just one glance would be unforgettable!
Yu Jin looked at the effect of the outfit on Ningguang and nodded in satisfaction.
Ningguang was a little beauty; she would definitely be stunning when she grew up.
Next, Yu Jin held up the mirror for Ningguang to look at herself.
When Ningguang saw herself in the mirror,
she was completely stunned.
She couldn't believe the girl in the mirror was her!

All along, Ningguang had felt like an inconspicuous child.
The kind where, if you put her in a crowd, you might quickly forget what she looked like.
But right now, the reflection in the mirror was striking.
Even Ningguang herself was amazed.
She knew in her heart that all of this was due to Orchid in the Silk.
Little Ningguang subconsciously thought,
Such a beautiful and exquisite dress must be treasured, otherwise it would be a shame if it got ruined.
This made her seem a bit constrained, a bit nervous.
Even her walking was cautious.
You know,
Ningguang had always worn plain, coarse clothes.
Now, dressed in such a beautiful outfit, her first reaction was worry.
She was afraid of damaging Orchid in the Silk.
Fang Xun was amused by Ningguang's adorable appearance.
Besides happiness, he felt more heartache.
The little girl's family life was really too difficult, which was why she cherished her new clothes so much.
Fang Xun squatted down and rubbed Ningguang's head, his face full of affection.
"Little girl, just walk with confidence. Auntie Yu Jin's clothes aren't that bad quality."
"Besides, even if the clothes get ruined later, we can just get new ones made. Don't worry so much, okay?"
Hearing Fang Xun's reassurance, Ningguang relaxed a bit.
She looked at Fang Xun gratefully and then thanked him earnestly, "I understand, thank you, Brother Fang Xun!"
"I really like this dress, I really, really like it."
Little Ningguang didn't know how to express her joy and gratitude,
only continuously thanking him.
"You're my little secretary, isn't it only right that I treat you well?" Fang Xun reached out and flicked Ningguang's nose, then said casually.
Ningguang felt her eyes well up a little at these words.
She was actually a very emotional person.
What might seem like a small, heartwarming gesture to others, Ningguang could remember for a long time.
Fang Xun was really, really good to her,
and Ningguang could clearly feel it.
As for Fang Xun,
he found Yu Jin, intending to pay for the tailor's clothes.
But unexpectedly, Yu Jin directly refused.
"Forget it, consider this dress a gift to Ningguang. The little girl is quite pitiful, so I won't charge you."
"Besides, being able to personally craft an Orchid in the Silk was an enjoyable experience for me. Consider it offsetting the Mora."
Fang Xun was displeased when he heard that Yu Jin wasn't going to charge.
Yu Jin wasn't charging?
How was he supposed to trigger his talent to make money?
"That's a separate matter. I understand you want to help Ningguang, but you shouldn't have to pay for the materials, right?"
"How about this, I'll give you two hundred thousand Mora, is that enough? If not, I'll add more."
Fang Xun didn't know the tailor's prices, so he just threw out a number.
Yu Jin was stunned when she heard Fang Xun's words, then said in surprise, "Silly brother, the material fees wouldn't cost ten thousand Mora! It's way, way too much!"
"Wait, you're giving me so much money, you wouldn't be trying to pull a fast one on me, would you??"
Yu Jin held out her hands, making a cross with her fingers.
"This is a new Inazuma phrase I learned, it expresses my stance."
"Give me, give me, give me!"
