Upon understanding Duan Yunfei’s intentions, Old Tang immediately introduced both parties with a beaming smile.
When Shen Qinglan learned that the owner of Shengxiang Restaurant was Duan Yunfei, she was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained her composure.
It was clear just by looking that these three were not ordinary people, so it wasn’t surprising that Duan Yunfei, despite being so young, could run a restaurant.
Duan Yunfei asked, "May I ask the young lady’s full name?"
Old Tang only knew that Shen Qinglan’s surname was Shen, but didn’t know her full name, so he only referred to her as Miss Shen during introductions.
Of course, he didn’t introduce Duan Yunfei’s name to Shen Qinglan either, only saying he was the owner of Shengxiang Restaurant.
Since the boss was asking, she, as a potential future employee, naturally had to answer any questions.
Thus, Shen Qinglan responded without any hesitation, "Shen Qinglan."
Duan Yunfei asked again, "Is it Qinglan as in ’clear and elegant’, and Lan as in ’orchid’?"
Duan Yunfei nodded, "Nice name!"
Shen Qinglan’s tone remained calm, "Thank you!"
Having seen many girls whose eyes would light up upon seeing their Young Master, Xuan Ying was witnessing for the first time a girl who maintained such composure while being close to their Young Master.
Recalling Shen Qinglan’s demeanor on the mountain, he quickly understood and felt relieved.
Indeed, she was someone extraordinary. Such composure was naturally not something other girls could learn easily.
Duan Yunfei laughed, "I am Duan Yunfei. If the young lady doesn’t mind, we can become friends."
The three of them almost spoke in unison.
Of course, Shen Qinglan was skeptical, while Old Tang and Xuan Ying were both shocked and astonished. Check latest chapters at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
One of them had watched Duan Yunfei grow up since childhood, and the other grew up alongside him.
In over ten years, apart from their lady and eldest miss, this was the first time they saw Duan Yunfei speak so kindly to a girl, asking to be friends.
Seeing Shen Qinglan still silent, Duan Yunfei said with some regret, "If Miss Shen doesn’t want to, then let’s forget it."
Shen Qinglan slightly curled her lips, "Alright."
As the saying goes, having more friends makes the journey smoother. Maybe this friend could be useful in the future.
This friend who came to her door, and wasn’t simple, was certainly worth befriending. But whether to develop a deeper friendship was another matter.
Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, smiling at her, "So, does this mean Miss Shen agrees to be my friend?"
"Of course!" Shen Qinglan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Duan Yunfei’s mood instantly brightened, and with a grand gesture, he said, "Since we’re friends, then consider this house a gift from me to Qinglan."
He changed the way he addressed her pretty quickly!
The three onlookers couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
Shen Qinglan, after a long moment, asked softly, "Are you saying you’re giving this house to me?"
"Yes! What do you think?"
It’s absolutely great!
Her friend was indeed very generous!
For once, Shen Qinglan’s cold little face showed a few hints of a smile.
She only said, "It would be impolite to refuse!"
Old Tang and Xuan Ying were dumbfounded.
This just-made friend was giving away a house. How come they’d never encountered such a situation?
Made a friend and also received a free house.
A moment ago, she was still in debt, and the next moment someone offered to pay it off.
Shen Qinglan didn’t know how others felt, but for her, it felt pretty good.
Living two lifetimes, this was the first time someone offered her a house. It felt wonderful!
Such generous friends, the more the better!
