Yes, after all these years, it was himself who let down Nuannuan and Nannan.
Even if his daughter had misjudged soone, it was because he hadn't set a good example for her in the past.
He took a sip of water.
"Mother, I still want to go and see for myself."
This ti, the old lady didn't say much and nodded, "Nuannuan and he have opened a milk tea shop at Hu Hai University, and they even opened a branch today. You can go and take a look. When Nuannuan is with him, she does seem much happier."
"Nuannuan started the business with him?" An Shanhai was montarily stunned.
The grandma smiled, "To be precise, the young man gave half of the shares of the milk tea shop to Nuannuan as a way to repay for an investnt I made in him before."
Listening, An Shanhai finally nodded, "I understand."
...
At this mont, inside Hu Hai University, the joint event was progressing vigorously.
Xu Musen returned to the store and joined the workforce along with An Nuannuan.
An Nuannuan, as the lady boss and mascot.
Actually, she was just responsible for collecting paynt and handing over milk teas.
When she heard the crisp sound of money being dropped into the little rabbit coin bank,
She would also happily kick up her little feet under the wheelchair and say in a soft and cute way, "Thank you for your patronage~"
This made many girls co into the store every day just to hear that phrase.
They felt healed.
Even in the afternoon, there were still many people in line.
"Oh my god, I'm so tired, my arms are about to give out," Zhou Hangyu slumped into the chair.
He had made two to three hundred cups of lemon water alone throughout the day.
"You're exaggerating. I think it's okay," Li Rundong flexed his arms a bit.
"You're used to it since you work out your 'Qilin Arm' in the dorm every day."
"Screw you, you're the one who goes automatic every day..."
The two of them bantered as usual, and Xu Musen smiled and said, "There'll only be this many people for today's event. I'll take you guys for a massage this weekend to relax."
"Really, Godfather?"
"Damn! With those words, I can rest assured—let's do it!"
The two of them seed to be instantly revitalized.
Indeed, attractiveness is the primary productive force.
However, Xu Musen could sowhat feel a slight and distant gaze coming from the side.
When Xu Musen turned around, he t An Nuannuan's clear, large eyes—that gaze was just like the first ti she saw the VIP card from Red Romance fall out of his pocket.
"Seriously, it's just a massage spa. You and Lianmai can go, too," Xu Musen explained with a cough.
"No need, I appreciate the thought," Zhao Lianmai directly declined, feeling that such places always seem slightly disreputable.
An Nuannuan blinked and gently tugged at Xu Musen's sleeve, whispering, "You don't have to go to those places, we can just massage each other..."
"??!"
Xu Musen hurriedly covered her mouth, thankful that Nuannuan spoke softly as her words might have tarnished his reputation if overheard.
What kind of eyebrow-raising words were these?
"Don't talk nonsense," Xu Musen leaned over and whispered in her ear.
An Nuannuan's eyes were clear, as if completely unaware of the issue with what she had said. She looked at Xu Musen and pouted, "Don't you want to massage each other anymore?"
"It's not that. Just don't be so abbreviated in your speech from now on, alright?"
"Oh..."
"Don't worry, Boss Lady, we'll keep an eye on him for you and report back imdiately if anything cos up!"
"Exactly, Musen, you should just forget about going. Give us a few VIP cards, and we'll enjoy on your behalf. You just focus on spending quality ti with the Boss Lady."
Zhou Hangyu and the others couldn't hear what those two were saying, but from their actions,
They made their own assumptions.
After all, aside from not being officially announced, An Nuannuan and Xu Musen were no different from a couple.
Naturally, a girlfriend wouldn't want her boyfriend going to those kinds of massage places, even if they are legitimate.
It's like a girl going to a bar stating she's just there to drink, but could you really be at ease?
The group was teasing one another.
Hearing them shout "Boss Lady" one by one, An Nuannuan's lips curved into a joyous smile.
"Off you go! Get busy working," Xu Musen kicked each of them.
The store was bustling, with casual chatting and working—even though it was exhausting, everyone was happy.
At that mont, on the street opposite the milk tea store,
An Shanhai had already been there awhile.
He wore a long black coat, a gentleman's hat, and sunglasses, with a plainclothes bodyguard standing beside him.
He was silently observing the scene.
Not having seen his daughter in a year, An Nuannuan now appeared healthier and more spirited, both physically and in deanor.
He rembered that ever since Nuannuan had been hospitalized, she would just stare blankly by herself every day, only showing so interest when drawing.
But she had almost always stayed alone in her room.
The shadows of the past had left her with deep psychological scars.
But now, An Nuannuan was among a group of people, as if she finally had her own circle of friends.
He couldn't rember the last ti he had seen such a sincerely delighted smile on his daughter's face.
Especially with that young man.
He had just covered Nuannuan's mouth a mont ago; such an intimate gesture clearly ant that it wasn't their first ti doing this sort of thing.
He still didn't know if the kid had done anything else—if he dared to bully Nuannuan...
As her father, he almost twisted his walking stick in his hands with tension.
However, seeing the knowing smile of An Nuannuan at this mont, saying thanks to every person who bought a milk tea,
That cheerfulness and delight were truly what his quiet and bright little Nuannuan used to have.
