438: Chapter 437: (2 more updates) 438: Chapter 437: (2 more updates) Yu Feifei was, of course, one of those in the know.
Jealous, she watched the slender Xu Niannian in the shop, idly twirling her fingers.
Even though she knew that Jin Yu had married soone else, even though they seed close, Yu Feifei still clung to the last shred of fantasy.
She fantasized that Xu Niannian was just soone he married for the sake of an explanation, and not the woman he truly loved.
She fantasized that maybe Jin Yu was just playing along with her and hadn’t reached the final step.
However, the news of Xu Niannian’s pregnancy hit her like a slap in the face, forcing her to wake up again.
Jin Yu had completely and utterly beco soone else’s.
Why couldn’t it be her?
She was the one who t Jin Yu first, so why couldn’t he see what was good about her?
Knowing that her daughter still held Jin Yu in her thoughts, Du Ruo said helplessly, “Let’s go, it’s no use looking any longer.
Focus on securing Ruiyang; that’s what’s important.”
In the end, Yu Feifei was dragged away by Du Ruo.
Xu Niannian had actually seen the two of them, but since they didn’t co in, she could only pretend not to notice.
Sotis, fate is a very strange thing.
Or perhaps, it was just a coincidence.
Xu Niannian stared at the man who walked in, sowhat dazed.
Uncle Ye!
Ye Tian, upon seeing her, also seed quite surprised.
“You…”
“Welco, may I take your order?” Xiaochun’s crisp voice interrupted Ye Tian’s question.
Ye Tian walked over.
Since it was a milk tea shop, Xu Niannian had specifically set up a bar in the living area, sowhat resembling a liquor cabinet from later tis, with a food preparation counter in front.
Xu Niannian was standing between the food preparation counter and the bar.
The bar was to her front, and the food preparation counter was behind.
She also wore an apron around her waist.
“Do you work here?” he asked.
Xu Niannian first nodded, then shook her head, smiling as she said, “This is my shop.”
Ye Tian looked genuinely surprised; he glanced at Xu Niannian, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, casting a gentle and refreshing air like a breath of spring.
Xiaochun and Lili, all three were already enamored with his charming smile.
The three girls couldn’t help sneaking glances at him quite indiscreetly, thinking no one noticed.
Xu Niannian felt a bit helpless.
“What would you like to order?”
“Since it’s your shop, you decide,” he said, his lips curling into a light smile.
“To go or for here?” she asked.
“Here,” he said, his gaze sweeping over Xiaochun and the others, as the fringe on his forehead obscured his brows.
He turned to Xu Niannian and said, “I’d like to try the owner’s craftsmanship.”
Understanding his intentions, Xu Niannian didn’t decline, “Alright, please have a seat at the front, it will just be a mont.”
The quiet hall had two or three tables of custors.
Ye Tian chose a spot by the window.
Xu Niannian didn’t know what he wished for; since he asked for her recomndation, she could only offer what she thought would suit him best.
Handcrafted milk tea.
Most n do not favor sweet drinks, and today wasn’t that hot—it was even a bit cool.
Xu Niannian prepared him a cup of handcrafted milk tea, served warm.
When she brought it over, the milk tea was still emitting thick steam.
“Your milk tea,” Xu Niannian said politely, observing that the young Uncle Ye seed more talkative.
In reality, he still didn’t speak much, but he seed to say a bit more than the middle-aged Uncle Ye she had t in her past life.
“Thank you.
May I have the pleasure of your company for a mont?”
“Hm?” Xu Niannian was a bit surprised, feeling this was an unusual request for Uncle Ye to make.
But considering that thoughts change between youth and middle age, Xu Niannian didn’t find it too strange.
Realizing his request might be a bit much for soone he just t, he added politely, “Sorry, I just feel a sense of familiarity with you and asked sothing impolite.
I hope you don’t mind.”
“I don’t mind.”
Xu Niannian sat opposite him, lost in thought.
So, Uncle Ye also felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing her.
“Is Xu’s Liuyue Su another one of your shops?” he inquired, an unusual gleam in his eyes.
“Yes, it is,” Xu Niannian replied without concealing the truth from him.
The milk tea in front of him continued to steam.
He seed very curious about it, lifting the cup to take a sip.
His movents were graceful, reminiscent of a noble from the 19th-century Western world.
“Your milk tea is very fragrant,” he complinted.
Pleased with the praise from Ye Tian, Xu Niannian smiled.
“I’m glad you like it.”
“Will you be here regularly?” he asked again.
For so reason, Xu Niannian always had the impression that Ye Tian was very interested in her affairs.
Rationality told her this was Uncle Ye, an elder who had helped her in her previous life.
Yet in reality…
Looking at his handso, youthful face, Xu Niannian found it impossible to regard him as an elder, especially since he appeared so proactive towards her.
Yes, Xu Niannian felt Ye Tian’s enthusiasm.
Because in her previous life, he was a very reserved and reticent man.
Despite changes in heart between one’s youth and middle age, one’s character shouldn’t alter drastically.
The fact that the usually quiet Uncle Ye was initiating conversation with her, even inviting her to sit together…
Xu Niannian couldn’t shake the feeling that the younger version of Uncle Ye seed a bit different towards her.
A young man showing a bit more enthusiasm towards a young, beautiful woman could indeed lead to so assumptions.
