Behind him, Ling Ji Qing gazed affectionately at her gradually disappearing silhouette, his thoughts drifting. He never knew he would fall for another woman besides Ji Yue Qing. Unexpectedly, a year later, he had unprepared fallen in love with this extraordinary woman he had only met once. Love! Thinking of this word, he couldn’t help but fall into deep contemplation.
“Sir and Madam, please come inside. We have all kinds of delicacies here, nothing we can’t make. Only what you can’t imagine!” The shop assistant at the door shouted loudly, bowing respectfully.
“Hmm, little two, we’re not a married couple, you’ve called us wrong,” Mei Si Yu said with slight anger.
“Oh, you two are not a couple, but you look so well-matched. It’s my mistake. Please don’t blame me. Please come inside,” the shop assistant said flatteringly, seeing their fine clothing and hoping for a potential tip.
“Please take us to a quiet and elegant room,” Wen Yue Yan said softly.
“Right away!” the shop assistant called.
“Little two, bring out all your signature dishes, the best you have,” Mei Si Yu said eagerly as soon as she sat down.
“What wine would you like?” the shop assistant asked.
“Bring a pot of the finest Daughter’s Red,” Wen Yue Yan continued.
The shop assistant went downstairs respectfully. In the private room, only the two of them remained, making Mei Si Yu slightly uncomfortable. To cover her unease, she deliberately drank tea vigorously, avoiding Wen Yue Yan.
“Miss Mei, are you very thirsty? You’ve finished all the tea, haha,” Wen Yue Yan said with a slight smile.
“Cough, well, I’m a bit thirsty. You should drink too. It’s strange, it’s autumn, but the weather is still so hot!” Mei Si Yu said, trying to ease the awkwardness.
While they chatted inside, a different scene unfolded outside…
