Shen Yao’s face turned even redder.
“Ah Tao…” He could not help but call out. His deep and magnetic voice was filled with suppressed desire.
“We should set off! We can’t let Second Brother You wait too long…” Ji Zhao inadvertently caught a glimpse of the fire in his eyes and took two steps back in panic. She said softly, “Let’s go.”
At that moment, Second Manager You was chatting with Zhao Lanhua outside the courtyard.
“Auntie, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let anyone bully Ah Tao.” Second Manager You patted his chest and promised.
“Yes, yes. With you taking care of it, I can feel more at ease.” Zhao Lanhua smiled gratefully. “By the way, Second Shopkeeper, this is the chili sauce that our family just fried a few days ago. It tastes good. Take two bottles back and try it. If you think it tastes good, feel free to come to the Shen residence to get more.”
“Alright!” Second Brother You was not a shy person and accepted it generously. “In a few days, it’ll be crab season. At that time, I’ll send someone to send you some fat crabs!”
“Then I’ll thank you in advance, Second Manager!”
“Hahaha, Auntie, let’s not be so polite~” Second Brother You said happily. “Not to mention that I’ve been good friends with Eldest Brother Shen for many years, our restaurant is still hoping that Ah Tao can think of a few more recipes! In the future, let’s treat each other as relatives and friends and come and go often, okay?”
“Sure!” Zhao Lanhua smiled brightly and nodded.
Just as the two of them were chatting happily, Ji Zhao and Shen Yao walked out of the courtyard side by side.
“Second Brother You, I’m sorry for making you wait for so long.” Ji Zhao smiled apologetically.
“It’s fine. Are you done packing? Shall we get in the carriage?”
“Mm.”
“Third son, you have to take good care of Ah Tao, understand?” Zhao Lanhua pulled Shen Yao’s arm and reminded him carefully.
“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Ah Tao,” Shen Yao nodded and said softly.
“Third son, why is your face so red? Is it because you’re wearing too many clothes that it’s hot?”
“No.” Shen Yao subconsciously looked at Ji Zhao.
Ji Zhao hurriedly avoided his gaze.
She thought about it seriously just now. Her actions just now were indeed a little rash.
However, she seemed to like Shen Yao more than she had imagined.
A moment later, the carriage slowly moved forward.
“I specially prepared this jasmine tea for you. If you feel thirsty, drink some.” Second Manager You pointed at the small table in the corner of the carriage and said happily.
“Okay.” Ji Zhao smiled gratefully and turned to look at Shen Yao beside her. “Shen Yao, are you thirsty?”
“I’m not hungry,” Shen Yao blurted out subconsciously.
Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly. The smile in her eyes was self-evident. “I know you’re not hungry. I’m asking if you’re thirsty.”
“I…” Shen Yao was still reminiscing about the cheek kiss just now. He looked into Ji Zhao’s eyes and asked subconsciously, “Ah Tao, do… do you like me?”
Pfft—
Second Manager You was amused.
“Third Brother Shen, if Sister Ah Tao doesn’t like you, why would she marry you? Your question is really silly.”
Hearing Second Manager You’s voice, Shen Yao realized that there was another person in the carriage.
“Ahem.” Shen Yao, who was extremely embarrassed, silently lowered his eyes.
“I like you,” Ji Zhao replied seriously. “In fact, it’s even more than I thought.”
