"Let’s not talk about this anymore, start choosing."
"What the heck, why are you like this? Half talking and leaving the rest hanging, it’s frustrating!"
"It’s not like that, Xiao Wan, I just think that people who love each other... must cherish the ti they spend together, and not waste energy on... other things, like you, always overthinking and trying to get away from ."
"Nonsense, I’m not!"
"Hmm, best if you’re not."
"No no, that’s not what I an. You haven’t misunderstood , have you?"
Li Zishen looked down with a smile and then patted Tang Xiaowan’s head, "I know, hurry up and choose, two for Bie Yuan, six for Li Garden."
"What, six for you?"
"Are you unwilling?"
Tang Xiaowan touched her nose and chuckled, "No, no, just surprised, that’s all. Let’s start, any number is fine."
"Hmm, that’s more like it."
...
At two in the afternoon, at a street-front cafe.
Ye Wanhua who had left the hotel was not wearing makeup, nor jewelry, and clad in a beige cotton linen long dress, she was gentle and serene, a stark contrast to her usual glamorous appearance.
The delicacy of the pastries matched her slender hands, drawing occasional glances from the cafe owner.
"You look beautiful like this."
Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Ye Wanhua looked up in surprise, "Ah Jun? How did you get here? Weren’t you supposed to go to D country... to see Old Zhou?"
Wang Junchen, "I can’t feel at ease about you on your own."
Ye Wanhua sipped her coffee, "What’s there to worry about? With Yang Rui around, it’s all good."
She seed calm and collected, yet her hand trembled unconsciously while putting down the cup.
"Where’s Yang Rui?"
"He went to the shopping center."
Wang Junchen’s lips curled slightly, his sharply chiseled face frad by deep-set eyes, and temples graced with hints of white hair.
He had just sat down when he took out a key.
Their gazes t for a mont before quickly shifting away.
"What do you an by this?" Ye Wanhua lowered her head and started stirring her coffee.
"Ah Hua, I can stay out of business matters, just go ahead with them, but I’m your husband, so... you need to tell before making any decisions, understand?"
"You’re overthinking it. I just wanted to be alone for a couple of days, and also check on the managent here, planning to invest more in the next step."
"Good, that’s good."
Wang Junchen nodded slightly and slowly stood up, pausing beside Ye Wanhua, "Co back soon, I’ll be waiting for you."
His firm mouth didn’t crack a smile, yet his voice was gentle.
Ye Wanhua frowned slightly, "Okay."
The man left, but the keys remained on the table.
Music played softly and the lights dimd to a yellow haze as Ye Wanhua took out large-frad sunglasses from her purse, a smile playing on her lips as she put them on and continued stirring her coffee.
At that mont the cafe owner withdrew his gaze, muttering to himself, "Impressive, it only took two minutes!"
About ten minutes later, Yang Rui scrambled in and whispered sothing in Ye Wanhua’s ear, and then they both left the cafe together.
"Indeed, beauty is capital!"
The cafe owner cleared his throat and continued looking at his computer.
...
Cui’s Knife Shop.
The deep blue security door was shut tight, with a few big characters plastered on it.
"Family ergency, closed for three days."
Ye Wanhua sighed softly through the car window.
She then pulled out her phone from her purse and took a picture of those words.
Yang Rui frowned, "It was open just a mont ago."
"Never mind, let’s go."
Ye Wanhua slowly put away her phone and then pulled out her makeup, carefully applying it in front of the makeup mirror.
Within minutes, her face was radiant again.
"Madam, has the master arrived?" Yang Rui asked in astonishnt.
"Yes."
"Then the reservation..."
Ye Wanhua shook her head, "We’re not going."
