Ever since the madam moved out!
Han Ping felt uneasy.
After lying at ho for two days, he couldn’t stand it any longer.
He took a painting and used the address given by Huo Shaoting to find that expert...
The best spot in Yangcheng.
A teahouse called Mingji.
As soon as Han Ping entered the shop, the manager noticed sothing special about him: "Sir, would you like the main hall or a private room?"
Han Ping lifted the scroll in his hand: "I’m here to see your master!"
The manager beca even more enthusiastic.
He ushered Han Ping to the third floor, pushing open a door.
Inside, the decor was elegant, with all furniture made from bamboo.
The atmosphere was refreshing and very comfortable.
Han Ping had a good impression of the teahouse owner, so he asked the manager to bring the master out to et him.
The manager smiled, "The master is not often here! However, she did instruct us to treat Mr. Han with the best tea and water if he ever visits, and you’re free to look through the ancient dical books here."
Feeling valued, Han Ping was pleased.
The manager brewed so tea before going to make a call.
Han Ping carefully savored the fragrant tea.
It really was excellent tea.
His impression of the master grew even better, and he was very eager to et face-to-face.
The wait was a bit long, so he got up to browse the books. After flipping through a couple, he was astonished!
The ancient dical books were rare editions, extrely precious.
Unknowingly, Han Ping beca engrossed in them.
Sipping tea and reading for quite so ti.
The sun moved from east to west... until dusk settled in.
The manager entered with a smile: "Doctor Han, it’s dinner ti. Will you be dining here?"
Han Ping was taken aback.
He looked up at the ti: "It’s already evening!"
The astute manager said, "I’ve refilled the tea several tis, and Doctor Han didn’t notice. It seems these ancient books have truly captivated you."
Han Ping reluctantly closed the book and smoothed it down.
He said, "This book is precious! The master’s identity must be even more extraordinary. We missed each other today, but I’ll visit again tomorrow."
The manager apologized, "The master had other obligations, please understand."
Han Ping didn’t mind at all.
He had great respect for such a master.
As he left, he couldn’t stop thinking about that ancient book, and the manager rely smiled at his expression.
After seeing Han Ping off, the manager returned to the elegant study.
A graceful figure stood there, browsing the very book from before.
The manager closed the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Shi An, Doctor Han really loves this book!"
Mr. Shi An was actually Su Ruanruan.
She closed the book with a gentle smile: "He knows the value of the book."
She sat down for tea and asked the manager about the situation.
The manager replied, "Doctor Han is quite fond of this place. I think he will co again tomorrow!"
The manager then asked, "When will you et him, master?"
Su Ruanruan’s eyes shimred, and she smiled faintly: "Let him wait for three days before we talk."
...
Following Su Ruanruan’s instructions, every ti Han Ping ca, he couldn’t et the teahouse owner.
After three days, Han Ping knew sothing was off.
He no longer looked at the ancient books and asked the manager: "Does the master not want to et ?"
The manager seed hesitant, taking a mont before saying, "It’s not that the master doesn’t want to et Doctor Han! The master said she’s afraid Doctor Han might mind her identity, so she’s reluctant to et."
Han Ping found it both amusing and frustrating: "Why would I care about her identity?"
The manager hesitated for a mont.
He said, "I’ll ask the master again for you then!"
Han Ping sat down to have tea and told the manager, "Just go ask! Whether she’s missing an eye or unattractive, I won’t mind. In fact, I respect her."
The manager smiled and agreed.
Han Ping continued drinking tea. After a short while, the sound of footsteps echoed from the staircase.
They were the sounds of high heels.
Very pleasant to the ears!
Han Ping thought: That must be a woman with a good figure! She seems so insecure, she must be lacking in appearance. I’ll just avoid looking at her face to not embarrass her!
