133 Protecting Luo Jin‘an’s Reputation
Everyone forgot about the free samples as they were amazed by the environment inside the shop.
“It’s so beautiful.”
“Yeah, the shop looks spectacular.”
“I don’t even dare to walk around such a clean new place.”
“The whole place looks aesthetically pleasing.”
…
Indeed the shop looked astounding on the inside. The villagers and townsfolk had visited many shops but had never seen such a pretty-looking one.
Su Binglan used a modern decoration style for her dessert shop to look clean and minimalistic. She also decorated the corners with flowers and various plants.
Since there was no glass in that era, she used a wooden grid-style shelf with some wired screens to store her desserts so everyone could see them.
If the customers wanted to buy some, they would need to take a tray from beside the shelf, open the wooden shelf, use tongs to pick up the desserts, and put them on the wooden tray before paying for them.
Su Binglan even placed some snacks in a flower basket, and each flower basket contained only two to three snacks.
Although the snacks in the flower baskets were more expensive, they looked exquisite and presentable.
“Miss, your shop is gorgeous!”
Su Binglan smiled and explained while entertaining her customers. “I did that to ensure my customers feel good when they come here.”
“Hahaha, you’re right.”
“This young lady is so capable at such a young age. I wonder if she’s married.”
Some women looked at Su Binglan and thought she was incredible. They could not help but ask more questions and express their thoughts.
Su Binglan wanted to continue speaking when Luo Jin’an beside her started coughing.
“Cough, hack. Ahem.”
Su Binglan hurriedly stopped what she was doing and asked concernedly, “Are you okay, husband? Are you tired?”
Luo Jin’an had been busy without rest, especially since he had woken up so early in the morning. Meanwhile, Su Binglan was worried her husband would suddenly get sick from exhaustion.
Luo Jin’an softly responded, “I-I’m fine.”
Su Binglan heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank goodness you’re all right. Don’t strain yourself. You can just rest if you’re tired.”
Luo Jin’an replied lowly, “Okay.”
The woman who had wanted to ask Su Binglan something changed her expression. “Miss, you’re already married?” The woman felt helpless.
A few slightly older ladies beside the woman were also concerned as one of them asked, “The shop owner looks so young. Did she get married when she was just a child?”
Still unwilling to suppress their curiosity, some probed, “Is your husband okay?”
Some even whispered amongst themselves.
“This girl is a fine young lady, but her husband is sick and weak.”
“Is this girl happy, or is she hiding something?”
“It’s so rare to see such a beautiful yet capable young girl.”
These women essentially wanted Su Binglan to be a part of their families. Still, her husband was weak, while Su Binglan was beautiful.
Naturally, Luo Jin’an heard these people’s whispers. He was helping at the cashier counter, but his hands stopped when he heard them. If one looked closely, one could tell how tense his fingers were at that moment.
However, he had his head down as his long eyelashes hid the expression in his eyes. No one could guess what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan could not help but look at her husband when she heard the people’s whispers. She was concerned Luo Jin’an would also hear them and start overthinking.
She was protective of her husband and valued his reputation very much. She said sweetly, “My husband is amazing and treats me well. He must just be tired from helping with the shop and caring for me.”
Then a middle-aged woman nodded understandingly and said, “I see. You two seem quite close.”
