Zhu Yulan couldn't help but scream inside her head, "So cute, so cute!"
At the same time, she remembered the Xu Musen who had asked her to come here to order lemonade.
Maybe he was using this as a way to bring business to the young proprietress and take the opportunity to hit on girls?
"What do you want with me?" asked An Nuannuan, seeing that she remained silent, out of curiosity.
"It's , the military training performance is coming up soon, and I want to order a batch of lemonade," Zhu Yulan said.
Zhao Lianmai's eyes flickered at this; not long ago Xu Musen had mentioned that someone might come to order a large amount of lemonade, and now someone indeed had.
And, looking at the girl in front of her, who was quite pretty too, she couldn't help thinking that this girl seemed to be no ordinary girl.
No girl that guy knows seems to be simple...
"Oh oh~ Got it, we have that, we have that," An Nuannuan brightened up, remembering what Xu Musen had told her.
"Okay, then I'll order a thousand cups to start with, they're three bucks each, right?" Zhu Yulan said while looking at the price list, getting ready to pay.
But An Nuannuan took a brush and wrote on a piece of paper, then slapped it onto the price list.
"Lemonade, four yuan a cup!"
Raising prices on the spot!!
And I've never seen someone so blatant about doing it either!
What happened to the promised 'adorable and clueless' act?
"You... why did it get more expensive?"
"Because the consumption of lemons is too high lately, these are all from greenhouses, and I find them expensive myself," An Nuannuan spoke earnestly.
Zhao Lianmai's corners of the mouth twitched, and for some reason, she felt she could see Xu Musen's shadow of a crafty businessman on An Nuannuan.
Could this be the famed 'couple resemblance'?
Zhu Yulan was momentarily at a loss for words, recalling Xu Musen's words to her, "The boss lady is very nice."
I believed his nonsense!
"...Alright, four yuan then, four yuan," Zhu Yulan, not bothered about the money, slapped down the cash and left quickly.
An Nuannuan happily put the deposit into the cash register, watching Zhu Yulan leave.
Zhao Lianmai, through her interactions over the days, could tell that An Nuannuan's family was probably not short on money either.
"Nuannuan, you probably don't lack money, right? Why do you seem to love making money so much?" she couldn't help asking.
"Because I feel great when I earn money through my own efforts, and also..." An Nuannuan paused, her fair little face filled with pleasure: "And Xu Musen always seems very keen on making money, I want to help him too."
Zhao Lianmai listened, a warm current stirring in her heart.
So innocent and pure.
No wonder, he spoils her so much.
Xu Musen finally finished his work.
He planned to find his adorable Nuannuan and go out for a hot pot dinner to celebrate.
But his phone suddenly rang.
Xu Musen saw this note on his phone, and since the last incident at the milk tea shop, she had been quite quiet.
Perhaps for this 'tsundere', that day's events had touched a certain bottom line.
He hesitated for a second but still answered the call.
No response came from the other end of the phone, just the sound of the wind by the river.
"Is there anything you need?" Xu Musen asked again.
Yao Mingyue's voice came through, though it sounded a little airy.
"Have you been drinking?"
Xu Musen frowned slightly. Yao Mingyue sometimes drank wine to relieve work stress, but she wasn't one to drink alone.
"Will you come out for a drink with me?" Yao Mingyue asked, her voice carrying a fluttering laughter.
Xu Musen listened to the sound of the wind coming from the phone, indicating she was outside.
"By the riverside on The Bund, I'm alone. Will you come?"
"You went out to drink by yourself late at night?" Xu Musen frowned, not keen on meddling with this 'tsundere', but he couldn't let her have an actual mishap.
"Xu Musen, I want to have a proper talk with you, can you come over? Just consider it as repaying the favor you owe me from last time."
Yao Mingyue's voice was fluttery and unusually serious, even a bit pleading...
Xu Musen was silent for a second.
On the other end of the phone, Yao Mingyue swayed the red wine in her hand as the river waves surged, feeling like the ocean under the night sky.
Listening to Xu Musen's voice, her rosy lips slightly curved up.
"On The Bund by the riverside, under a blue parasol.
I'll wait for you..."
