...
Sally didn't rember what she had forgotten until she had sent all the guests away.
"Oh no, I promised to play with Little Black Panther." Saying that, Sally lifted her skirt and ran towards the teahouse across the street.
"I'm looking for soone," Sally told the teahouse waiter.
The waiter smiled, "Boss Sally, the private room upstairs."
"Thank you," Sally said as she ran upstairs.
Just as she reached the second floor landing, she saw a streak of dark color flash before her eyes.
Sally abruptly stopped her motion and looked up.
Long black hair cascaded down to his waist, golden eyes with upward tilting corners, lush dark lashes thick as if woven, alluring and profound. His handso face was chiseled, flawlessly unblemished, lips pressed into a firm line, indicative of his current mood—unpredictable.
"Uh~" Sally's mind went blank for a mont. "I... I'll just pass by."
The man, seeing her expression as if looking at a stranger, furrowed his brows tightly, "Don't you rember ?"
Sally thought for a mont and then shook her head. Such a handso man, radiant as the morning sun, would not be forgettable if she had seen him, "I'm sorry, you might have mistaken for soone else. I have things to do, I'll just go ahead."
Having said that, Sally walked past him to search for Little Black Panther.
Little Black Panther was curled up in the private room on a soft chair, looking the epito of dejection and abandonnt.
Sally's heart lted instantly, "Here I am, here I am, big sister has co to play with you."
Upon hearing her voice, Little Black Panther quickly stood up, wagging its long tail excitedly.
"You're this happy, huh," Sally picked it up, stroking its fur as smooth and soft as silk, and her eyes and brows curved involuntarily... The tension and bustle of the day dissipated.
Little Black Panther snuggled in her arms, affectionately licking her fingers, its intentions to please quite obvious.
The man standing behind her, watching her and Little Black Panther, said, "His na is Pei Yunyang, milk na Xiaohao."
Sally turned around and saw the man she had encountered at the stairwell, "Who are you?"
"I am his Father Beast, Pei Xuan." The man walked up beside her, speaking to Little Black Panther, "It's ti for us to go."
"Aowu~" Little Black Panther seed reluctant to leave Sally.
Sally stroked its round adorable head, "Go back with your daddy. I've got a lot of work to do too. We'll play another day."
"We live at Beasty Street Number 1." Pei Xuan extended his hand to take Little Black Panther from her.
Because Little Black Panther clung tightly to Sally's embrace, the contact inevitably brushed against a particularly soft and special area.
Sally's face turned red in an instant.
Pei Xuan also showed a hint of embarrassnt but quickly composed himself, responding calmly, "If you want to see him, you're welco any ti."
"Alright, good," Sally responded gently, hands clasped behind her back.
Pei Xuan could tell she probably wouldn't visit.
After a mont of consideration, he added, "Co over and spend ti with him for a day on the first of each month, and I'll give you ten Crystal Coins."
"What?" Sally was taken aback.
"If that's too little, you can na your price," Pei Xuan said.
"No, no, you don't need to give Crystal Coins," Sally looked at Little Black Panther, which was gazing back at her with expectant eyes in Pei Xuan's arms, "I can co to keep it company. Of course, that's if I'm available."
"Fine," Pei Xuan said, holding Little Black Panther and turning to leave.
Sally quickly spoke up, "Wait a mont."
She took a bottle of vitamins from System Space and handed it to Pei Xuan, "One pill a day, it's good for bone developnt."
Little Black Panther recognized the bottle, "Aowu~" it said, grabbing the vitamin bottle itself.
"Goodbye, Xiaohao. Be good and listen to daddy, don't run around. There are lots of bad people outside, understand?" Sally stroked its head.
Pei Xuan observed her face and the neatly coiled snowy white bun, "Tomorrow is the first."
"...Huh?" Sally was startled, but having already agreed, naturally, she wouldn't refuse, "Okay, I'll co tomorrow."
"Beasty Street Number 1."
"Right, Beasty Street Number 1. Xiaohao, we'll see each other tomorrow then, okay?"
"Aowu~" Xiaohao responded happily.
Sally stroked its head again, "Such a good boy."
...
Bai Kaixin was so busy he could hardly take ti to eat, barely managing to attend to all the guests before collapsing.
Little Xianzi handed him a bowl of braised at rice, "A custor ordered it and then didn't want it. They've paid already."
"Don't let it go to waste," Bai Kaixin said, taking the bowl and eating heartily.
Little Xianzi looked towards the teahouse opposite, "Why does Sister Sally keep running to the teahouse? The tea at our hostel tastes even better than theirs."
"To do business better in the Imperial Capital, it's necessary to make connections with so influential people. In that teahouse, there's a person of power you wouldn't imagine!"
