Ruan Li teased, "Aren’t you worried that when Wen cos back, he’ll find out you’ve run the store into the ground?"
Su Bai opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.
Ruan Li asked, "Where are your staff?"
"...No business, let them go, or I’d be losing money even faster."
Ruan Li looked Su Bai up and down, "Why do you seem a bit off today?"
Su Bai pulled a corner of his mouth, the sudden smile a bit forced, "Do I? I don’t think so."
Ruan Li couldn’t pinpoint what felt strange, "Did Wen say when he’s coming back?"
She kind of missed his cooking.
Exquisite, delicate, expensive, she couldn’t fathom why anyone would like it.
"Boss didn’t tell ... but he said he might be gone for a long ti this ti." Su Bai looked at Ruan Li, his originally light-colored pupils now cloaked in a thick fog.
He added, "Is there anything you need to tell the boss? I can pass it along for you."
Ruan Li shook her head, "Can’t think of anything right now, but if he cos back, let know."
Su Bai nodded, escorting Ruan Li downstairs to leave.
Just as Ruan Li reached the door, a car parked outside, the window rolled down revealing Xu Mo’s handso face, albeit with a bit of helplessness.
"The three little ones woke up, and they’re making a fuss because they can’t find you."
"Ruan Li..."
Ruan Li was about to leave when she vaguely heard Su Bai calling her. She turned back and asked, "What is it?"
Su Bai looked up, seeing the woman’s Beast Husband holding three howling little ones to take her ho, swallowed his words.
He smiled and wished, "It’s nothing, the boss asked to send you a blessing: Wish Little Li happiness year after year."
Ruan Li curved her lips, her smile bright, "Then the next ti you see him, rember to thank him for ."
The sun gradually set.
She left with the little ones and her Beast Husband, chatting and laughing.
Su Bai thought: The boss is right.
He closed the shop door, securing the locks, and changed the sign to "Closed Today."
He never liked turning on the lights, so he turned off all the lights on the first and second floors.
The light in the third-floor office turned on, Su Bai opened the door, sat on a chair at the desk, and said to the man, "She says thank you."
The man’s handso face was flawless, his gaze fixed forward.
For a mont, Su Bai almost thought he was looking at him.
"...Boss, if you don’t co back soon, I’ll go bankrupt."
Winter ca in a flash, and under the constant entanglent of three extrely domineering n, Ruan Li beca pregnant again.
In a warm bed, two n held Ruan Li from either side, treating her like the filling of a sandwich.
When Ruan Li woke up, she checked the ti, and it was already two in the afternoon.
She shifted slightly, only to find herself tightly trapped.
"Lu Mujie, let get up." Ruan Li nudged the man’s arm.
Dark eyes opened slowly, and the man asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you need to do?"
"Go to the bathroom."
As soon as she said it, the man picked her up directly and walked towards the bathroom.
"Go ahead."
"...Put down."
"..."
Her face turned red, then white, then red again. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she bit the man hard.
Lu Mujie smiled, "A bit harder."
Seeing his unusual sense of satisfaction, Ruan Li instinctively let go.
Lu Mujie showed a hint of regret.
With the arrival of winter snow, at the Crown Prince’s birthday banquet, amidst the clinking of glasses, Ruan Li, who disliked excessive socializing, specifically found a quiet corner and set up a dessert she liked.
Ruan Li ate a few bites of a small cake, occasionally looking up at the party, unexpectedly seeing soone unforeseen.
And he was walking towards her.
"Long ti no see." Huishi raised his glass and drank his wine.
Ruan Li accompanied him with a sip of soda.
"You seem not very excited to see ." he chuckled.
Ruan Li forced a smile, "No, Your Excellency misunderstood."
The man sat beside her, keeping a respectful distance, providing a slight sense of pressure but without overstepping.
"The Duchess probably wouldn’t expect to see either." he spoke to himself, a tinge of grievance in his tone.
Ruan Li gave two dry laughs, regretting coming to the event at all.
The man suddenly opened his Smart Brain, "I wonder if it’s convenient to exchange contact info?"
Ruan Li was organizing words to decline.
Then the man said, "Back then, I owed the Duchess half a million. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t have achieved my current standing in the Federation."
Was he here to repay the debt? No one would reject money, right?
Ruan Li was slightly swayed.
Huishi took note of her reaction and continued, "I also have a tourist Planet, the scenery is beautiful, as a token of my gratitude, would you accept it?"
Ruan Li promptly exchanged contact information with him.
Her account suddenly increased by a million.
"This...you didn’t have to repay so much," single Beastn didn’t earn money that easily.
Huishi’s smile widened, "If it weren’t for your help back then, I might still be unknown sowhere; this is just a token of my appreciation."
"However, transferring the Planet title still requires so procedures, might need to trouble you again later."
Ruan Li hesitated for a mont but agreed.
Huishi chatted a bit more with her, and seeing she wasn’t very interested, politely took his leave.
Zhe Ye shook off so who were trying to curry favor and flattery before finding Ruan Li.
"Hiding away for so peace and quiet?" He raised an eyebrow, sitting beside Ruan Li with a box of packed desserts delivered by the waiter.
"All your favorites."
Ruan Li gladly accepted and emphatically declared, "Today’s dessert intake is already enough; I’ll save this for tomorrow."
The man smiled, gently tapped her nose, "Alright, little gourmand."
The next day, Huishi contacted Ruan Li via Smart Brain to arrange a ti for processing the paperwork.
Ruan Li didn’t have many tasks recently, so she readily set an appointnt for the afternoon.
Shi Jue happened to be off work today, so he accompanied Ruan Li.
At the hall for transferring property, the man stood at the entrance, his handso appearance and sharply dignified deanor attracting many passing females.
When Ruan Li arrived at the door, she happened to see Huishi refusing a female.
The female apparently did not expect any male Beastman to refuse her olive branch, becoming a bit embarrassed and upset, "How dare you refuse ! Just because you have so looks you think you can reject ? A Beastman like you, attractive but useless, there won’t be many females who would fancy you."
Huishi didn’t want to argue with her, already noticing Ruan Li approaching from the corner of his eye.
His expression grew colder, "Please let pass."
The female put her hands on her hips, "Why should I move for you?"
Huishi said nothing, turned to go another way, but the female blocked him again, leveraging the rule that Beastn cannot bully females to trouble him.
