Inside the dessert store

Xu Yuanfei took out the black tea from the cupboard nervously. Her father had given it to her, and it was expensive. As she brewed the tea, she couldnt help wondering, Why are these two here?

In the past, although she and Jing Hanchuan had a store-owner-customer relations.h.i.+p, she was already very reserved when facing them. Now that their relations.h.i.+p was different, she was naturally even more anxious.

Boss. A part-time worker walked to the kitchen.

Huh?

!!

Should we call the police?

What?

Those people are standing at the door, so no one dares to come in. Moreover, the one with the beard is obviously not a good person. He looks fierce and scary.

Its alright. Xu Yuanfei smiled and brought the tea out. Go ahead with your work. Dont worry about this matter. Ill handle it.

At this moment, Sheng Aiyi smiled and joked, This young lady looks sweet and quiet. How formidable can she be? What are you saying?

The first time she came to our house to deliver desserts, I already felt that something was amiss. This young lady is unusual.

Shes definitely unusual. She looks familiar, right? Sheng Aiyi sneered.

Why do you still remember this? Dont you find it strange? Everyone who comes to our house for the first time is timid and scared, but she looked very relaxed.

Our house isnt a tigers den.

While the two of them were whispering, Xu Yuanfei came over with hot tea. Auntie, I added some milk to your cup. Please try it.

Xu Yuanfei looked calm, but she was actually panicking.

Could it be that Hanchuan hasnt contacted me much recently because his family found out and isnt allowing it?

Did they ban the two of us from interacting?

In the short moment when she served tea, countless chaotic thoughts flashed across her mind.

Little Xu, sit. Sheng Aiyi looked at her with a smile.

Ill get you something to eat. Xu Yuanfei really couldnt see through these two.

A certain big shot had a fierce expression on his face, but Sheng Aiyi was smiling happily, not knowing what psychological drama was playing in Xu Yuanfeis mind.

Soon, Xu Yuanfei sat down and praised Sheng Aiyi. Auntie, youre dressed very beautifully today. Your figure is good to begin with, and you look especially charming in a cheongsam.

Thank you. Which woman didnt love to be praised?

I like cheongsams too. Its just that my mom says Im too young and wouldnt wear them well.

Sheng Aiyi smiled lightly. I have many bright-colored ones at home, and I cant wear them at my age. Many of them are new. You can come and try them on when you have time.

When women talked about clothes and cosmetics, there seemed to be endless topics to talk about.

Ahem A certain big shot coughed.

Youre off-topic!

Dont forget why were here.

Sheng Aiyi immediately smiled and lowered her head to take a sip of hot tea.

At this moment, a certain big shot said, Little Xu.

He deliberately suppressed his voice. His voice was rough and low, revealing some deterrence. Coupled with his fierce and piercing gaze, he gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression. The two part-time workers hiding at the cas.h.i.+er had been observing here.

Oh!

Its a little scary.

Did the boss offend someone?

Uncle. Xu Yuanfei forced herself to calm down.

A few days, Hanchuan didnt return all night. He stayed with you, right?

Xu Yuanfeis heart trembled, but she still pretended to be calm and nodded. Yes.

Where did you two go that night?

At the thought that the two of them had stayed in a hotel for the night, Xu Yuanfei suddenly felt a little embarra.s.sed and hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Ahem Sheng Aiyi coughed. How can he be so direct?

We just chatted for a while. There was indeed nothing shameful between them. But once she said that they had gone to a hotel, the nature of the matter would change, so she simply covered it up.

Just purely chatting? A certain big shot narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Yes, just chatting.

Then, why did he fall ill when he came back?

Xu Yuanfeis pupils dilated slightly. Hes sick?

He went out with you for a night, but when he came back, he was bedridden, and his body collapsed. Youre telling me that you two were just chatting that night?

A certain big shot took a sip of tea to calm himself down.

Whats wrong with that brat?

He was alone with her all night and didnt do anything?

Cant he do it?

He even managed to get himself sick?

The more a certain big shot thought about it, the more disdainful he became.

When Xu Yuanfei heard that Jing Hanchuan was sick, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, How is Sixth Master? The flu has been very serious recently. Is he alright?

She immediately remembered that Jing Hanchuan had waited for a long time that night. He probably hadnt been in the car the whole time. He must have caught a cold.

A certain big shot coughed. Although you said that the two of you just chatted, he fell sick after seeing you. What do you think about this?

Huh? Xu Yuanfei was stunned. Does he mean for me to take responsibility?

Moreover, hes not in good health. Hes slept at home for a few days, but hes still very sick. He hasnt gotten better at all.

Erm When Xu Yuanfei heard that he was seriously ill, she became even more anxious. Can I go see him?

Sure. Sheng Aiyi immediately nodded when she saw that Xu Yuanfei had taken the bait.

Afterward, it was unknown what Xu Yuanfei was thinking. She kept thinking about Jing Hanchuans illness and was distracted. Seeing that she wasnt in the mood to chat, Sheng Aiyi found a reason and said that they were going to the Pear Garden, so they left first.

She indeed had to make a trip to the Pear Garden. Yin Changge still played an important role in a few plays, so she definitely had to adjust properly.

At the same time, she would give her son and Xu Yuanfei some alone time.

***

After Xu Yuanfei sent the two Jing family members away, she put on her coat, grabbed her bag and car key, and went straight to the Jing residence.

The weather was cold, so it took time to start the car. She was anxious and couldnt wait anymore, so she took a taxi straight to the Jing residence.

There was already someone sitting in the living room of the Jing residence.

Yin Changge.

When she arrived at the Jing residence, because she was Sheng Aiyis disciple, she was definitely let in. But she was told that her master wasnt back yet and that there were many guests currently in the Jing residence.

They were all people she couldnt afford to offend.

Miss Yin, Sixth Master is resting upstairs. There are so many guests at home. Look The Jing family members were polite to her. After all, she was their madams disciple.

In other words, it wasnt convenient to entertain her today.

But Yin Changge knew very well that if she couldnt see Sheng Aiyi today, she might really be kicked out of the Pear Garden. At that time, it would be difficult for her to enter again.

It was easy to enjoy the shade of a big tree. With the Jing family around, she would have a guarantee. If she failed her venture outside, she would at least have a way out.

Dont worry about me. Ill just wait for Master here.

The Jing family members were a little surprised. She wasnt someone without awareness usually. Why was she refusing to leave this time?

But since she wanted to wait, they had no choice but to serve her tea.

By the way, is Sixth Master still resting at this hour? Yin Changge looked at the clock on the wall. It was already four in the afternoon. Jing Hanchuan wasnt a person who liked to sleep a lot.

Yes, hes still resting.

The Jing family members knew very well that she was their madams disciple and an outsider. Sixth Masters affairs had nothing to do with her.

Yin Changge smiled bitterly. She glanced at the stairs from the corner of his eye and lowered her head to continue drinking tea.

Duan Linbai and the others were in the side hall on the first floor. They heard that there was a guest who said she was Sheng Aiyis disciple, but they didnt have any friends.h.i.+p with her. There was no need for them to go out to greet her, so they continued playing cards.

When Xu Yuanfei arrived at the Jing residence, perhaps because Sheng Aiyi had informed people in advance, she entered the living room smoothly.

When she saw the person sitting in the living room, she was stunned.

Yin Changge was very beautiful. She had slender eyebrows, clean and delicate facial features, and an indescribable aura all over her body. Seeing someone enter, she immediately stood up and smiled in greeting.

She was also sizing up Xu Yuanfei. Because she had come in a hurry, she was covered in wind and frost. She wasnt even wearing a scarf or a mask. Her face was slightly red from the cold wind, making her look a little disheveled. Yin Changge had just finished a compet.i.tion program, so she was naturally dressed more exquisitely.

Xu Yuanfei nodded at her and smiled. She looked at the Jing family members. Sixth Master isnt here?

Hes in his bedroom upstairs. The Jing family members naturally welcomed her. But hes still sleeping.

Can you find me a cup? I brought him some red date ginger tea. Xu Yuanfei had come in a hurry and had only brought some drinks from the store.

Please wait a moment.

Yin Changge kept sizing her up. Are you here to look for Sixth Master?

Xu Yuanfei didnt expect her to talk to her. She just smiled and didnt say anything.

Sixth Master has a bad temper and doesnt like people who fawn on him. Yin Changge smiled, seemingly reminding her out of goodwill.

Really? Xu Yuanfei looked at her. From your tone, youre very familiar with Sixth Master?

Not really. Weve just known each other for many years.

Yin Changges words were very artistic, and she wouldnt let anyone pick out any flaws. But Xu Yuanfei heard a hint of disdain and contempt.

The atmosphere in the room instantly changed.
