However, it was destined to be just their fantasy.
Not to mention whether Xu Niannian had the time, Jin Yu would never agree.
Apart from the guests noticing Xu Niannian, the servers in the shop also gradually guessed her identity.
The reputation of Xu’s Liuyue Su was resounding, with branches spread throughout the entire southern city—who didn’t know how wealthy the owner of Xu’s Liuyue Su was?
Moreover, the branches of Xu’s Liuyue Su were everywhere in the capital’s streets and alleys, so the fact that the owner was as beautiful as Xi Shi had long since spread far and wide.
Several employees in the shop whispered and gathered together to have a hushed conversation.
"Hey, is that the owner of the Xu Family?" Chapters first released on novel⦿fire.net
"I don’t know, should be, right? The woman sitting with her holding the chubby baby is the manager of the main Xu’s Milk Tea Shop. I went there a few times before I started working at our shop, I remember her."
"Really? What is she doing here? She wouldn’t be here to cause trouble, would she? Should we go and call our boss back?"
Someone asked worriedly.
"Okay, I will call the boss back, you guys keep an eye on the shop."
The server whispered loudly, and Xu Niannian faintly heard some of it, her lips curving into a small arc.
Not long after, the server that ran out came back, followed by a tall woman.
The woman was dressed in a white knee-length pencil skirt, a white blazer, and a black shirt underneath, her long hair dark and silky, falling to her waist.
She was a very beautiful woman, quite eye-catching, and her beauty was of a completely different type from Xu Niannian’s.
Xu Niannian’s looks were enchanting, and she exuded a soft and boneless allure all over, whereas this woman was different.
With deep-set facial features and a delicate appearance, she was an efficient woman with an air of brusqueness.
She shared the same type of beauty as Hu Yue, except Hu Yue was a bit more shrewd with money and otherwise a bit dim-witted, while this woman’s eyes were filled with astuteness.
The moment she stepped into the shop, the atmosphere around changed, becoming somewhat quieter; she was a focal point of attention.
Xu Niannian raised her eyebrows in surprise; this woman was clearly no simple character.
The woman headed straight for Xu Niannian, "I was not aware of Boss Xu’s visit, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner."
Her face bore a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes; it merely skimmed the surface as she reached out her hand.
With one hand holding Xiao Bao and a calm expression, Xu Niannian nonchalantly extended her other hand to shake hers, "You are too kind, Boss Ji."
Milk tea, Double Skin Milk, and various other drinks and gimmicks in the shop all belonged to a later era.
Just as Xu Niannian guessed that the other party might have come from the future, the other party might have also guessed that she came from the future.
"Would it be convenient to have a talk?" Ji Ruhua asked, smiling while staring directly at Xu Niannian.
Xu Niannian smiled wryly and nodded, "It’s convenient."
Her smile, too, did not reach her eyes.
Ji Ruhua bore hostility toward her; Xu Niannian could feel it the moment Ji Ruhua entered the shop and saw the way she looked at her.
"There’s a backyard behind the small shop; if Boss Xu would like to step this way, please."
Discussing matters, of course, could not be done with Xiao Bao in tow. Xu Niannian handed Xiao Bao to Nanny Zhao. Xiao Bao tightly clutched Xu Niannian’s hand, his beautiful eyelashes lifting to give Ji Ruhua a glance.
Ji Ruhua caught a glimpse of Xiao Bao, and her eyes momentarily darkened.
Xu Niannian was somewhat helpless; Xiao Bao was usually very obedient and not clingy.
However, Xu Niannian always prioritized family above all, so since Xiao Bao wouldn’t let go, she could only bring Xiao Bao along with her.
"You don’t mind if I bring my child with me, do you?" Xu Niannian asked.
"Of course not, please feel free," Ji Ruhua replied with a forced smile.
