I got excited and raised my voice, “Of course it does! I’m now half the owner of Yu Huang Lou. Their guests are naturally my guests!”
His gaze began to change, with a hint of bewilderment, surprise, and even a trace of nervousness appearing in his eyes, “Are you saying you’re the person the shopkeeper mentioned who will collaborate with her and is confident in doubling the customer flow?”
“Yes! What about it?” I touched my nose and nodded seriously, not understanding the many emotions in his eyes.
“Nothing, go about your business!” He suddenly let go of my hand and walked towards the inner area of the second floor.
I took the tray from Yu’e and signaled, “Yu’e, go downstairs and bring up a few small dishes to entertain the Western Temporary Young Master. I’ll come after seeing the guests!”
“Understood, Miss!” Yu’e responded and went downstairs.

He remained silent, just looking at me, his gaze seeming to want to see through me. I felt uncomfortable and quickly lowered my head. I noticed he was wearing the robe I had given him that day. My mind raced, and without thinking, I blurted out, “You look really good in white!”
As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them because I saw his body slightly tremble, and a hint of melancholy appeared on his face. Did I remind him of someone?
He withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at me, saying, “Sit.”

“Is it because of him?” Bei Ting Zi Han followed my line of sight, his eyes becoming somewhat indifferent, with a faint, bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.
“Yes, but not in the way you think!”
I still had unfinished responsibilities to Xi Lin Yan; no matter what, he was still my master, and I was still the steward of Ci Yi Fortress. I couldn’t selfishly abandon everything, but subconsciously, I didn’t want him to misunderstand.
