Chapter 617: Stay Calm
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Okay.” Xue Yan agreed.
Jiang Yue did not respond.
Although she had silently agreed to Xue Yan’s solution, which was to let Shao Zhongxi sit there and ignore him, she was actually a little disgusted by Shao Zhongxi’s behavior.
He knew that she and Xue Yan were hiding something from the family, not letting the family discover that something was wrong with them, but this person still had to come to the shop and just sit there, making her family feel uneasy.
Xue Yan probably knew that she was disgusted and kept holding her hand, afraid that she would go over and fight with Shao Zhongxi.
Jiang Yue glanced at Xue Yan. Did she look like someone who couldn’t stay calm?
Xue Yan coughed dryly and whispered, “If you really want to make a move, I’m sure that I won’t be able to stop you in time. If I hold your hand first, you won’t think of making a move.”
Xue Sifu saw that Xue Yan had agreed, and Jiang Yue’s small hand was held by Xue Yan, so he naturally assumed that Jiang Yue had also agreed. His heart felt much more at ease, and he smiled and said, “Then, you can both go in. You guys sit behind the counter and help me collect the money. I have to weigh the dry rice noodles. You have no idea how many people have come to our house to buy dry rice noodles ever since everyone said that the rice noodle buns are delicious. Although our rice noodles aren’t selling well and there aren’t many customers, the business of dry rice noodles has shot up.”
“It’s all thanks to Jiang Yue that she figured out how to wrap rice noodles into steamed buns. Even the steamed bun shops in the county sent people to buy a lot of dried rice noodles this morning.” As he spoke, Xue Sifu even patted Jiang Yue’s little head, looking especially happy.
He also felt that buying this shop was worth it.
He knew that if he thought of something, there would be a way to make it profitable.
Jiang Yue allowed Xue Sifu to pat her head. Then, she was led by Xue Yan into the shop with Xue Sifu and sat behind the counter.
Xue Yan continued to draw things, so she had nothing to do. Xue Yan was still worried that she would be angry, so he silently pushed the abacus in front of her to play with. He even grabbed a few handfuls of fried peanuts and placed them in front of her so that she could peel them and eat them.
Jiang Yue looked up at the sky and placed her two small hands on the counter. As she peeled the peanuts, she calmly looked at the customers eating the rice noodles in the lobby.
It was already noon, but there were still more than a dozen guests. Even if each person sat at a table, the hall was not full.
Her gaze still fell on the table in the innermost corner. Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin were sitting there. They were still dressed in red. They probably didn’t wear any other colors. Qi Yin was looking at her and Xue Yan, but Shao Zhongxi didn’t look at them. He was drinking tea and taking his sweet time sitting there. Jiang Yue’s eyes were still cold.
Even if she and Xue Yan were no longer on good terms with them, they were still just two children. Could a dignified prince really be so free as to come here every day to provoke her and Xue Yan?
There must be something fish going on.
He must have something to do in this town.
He looked like he was waiting for something to happen.
However, he did not wait at Quanping Inn. Instead, he chose to wait here…
If he brought any trouble to her shop because he was waiting here, she would definitely not let him off.
Just as she thought of this, Jiang Yue turned her head and looked at Xue Yan’s side profile, who was drawing something properly. “Can’t you tell what’s going to happen next?”
Xue Yan let out a breath before saying softly, “So what if I can?” After a pause, he said, “But we can rest assured. There shouldn’t be any trouble. He’s Shao Shuting’s second brother. The two of them have a very deep relationship. He won’t do anything to make Shao Shuting hate him..”
