Chapter 136 Zhou Shen saw it

This young girl actually managed to buy this restaurant? He had previously heard that the restaurant was up for sale and even brought in a friend, but the friend thought it was too expensive and didn't take it over.

Now she's actually claiming it's hers! Where did the money come from? Looks like her two shops have made quite a bit of money!

"Mr. Wen, about that house sale I told you about last time..."

Qian San'er rubbed his hands together and looked at Wen Luozhi with some anticipation.

He had asked around and found out that Dessert House comes out with new products every day. The shop has been open for so long, so it must have plenty of dessert recipes.

Even if she only let a little bit of it slip through her fingers, it would be enough for him to sell.

"Mr. Qian, my shop just opened recently, so people are just trying it out of curiosity."

"As you said before, your long-established shop looks down on the pastries from my Dessert Wonderland."

Wen Luozhi smiled at him, and every word she uttered seemed to strike Qian San'er's heart heavily.

Not long after the shop opened, this guy said her shop wouldn't last more than a few days. She just didn't understand why he cared so much when the two shops were so far apart.

So what if he stole half a day's worth of business? Isn't that how business is? He didn't try to trip up her shop!

Wasn't it him who instructed that man to buy damp pastries from his own shop last time? Hmph!

She spent a lot of money to pry that man's mouth open.

Do people with free time buy fewer pastries from the shop these days? I doubt they've even managed to replicate just one of them yet.

You still want the recipe? No way! Not even for a fortune!

Qian San'er couldn't save face anymore, and the fake smile on his face could no longer be maintained.

He flicked his sleeve, raised his head, and said, "Oh, really! I was just teasing you!"

"They're just some gimmicky stuff; I, Qian San'er, really don't care for them!"

Helian Yue frowned as he listened from the side. He was about to step forward to drag the person out when Wen Luozhi stopped him with a look.

Qian San'er looks like a scoundrel and a cunning fellow. If we were to fight, it would be bad if we ended up in the authorities.

They were going to the Southern Wilderness that night, and it wasn't worth ruining their plans with someone like that.

"Since Mr. Qian has said so, then we really have nothing to discuss. Please proceed."

After saying that, she pulled Helian Yue upstairs without giving Qian San'er a single glance. Qian San'er just stood there, stunned, watching the two of them disappear around the corner.

Shouldn't it be that this brat begs him to buy the shop, and if he doesn't, she gives it to him for free? He's made it so clear, does this brat really not worry about her shop at all?

Hmph! He refused to believe it! He stormed out of the restaurant, his footsteps quickening and creating a small gust of wind.

He wanted to go back and see if the pastry chef had figured out how to make that fried chicken burger. If he hadn't, he'd better get rid of him as soon as possible!

At worst, he can spend more money to find a master craftsman from the capital!

After seeing him leave, Wen Luozhi went downstairs, locked the door, and took Helian Yue to the Warm Home.

When they passed by during a half-day break, Qian San'er snorted coldly at them. Wen Luozhi gave him a provocative smile, and then the two of them strode away, infuriating Qian San'er.

It had been quite a while since I'd been to Warm Home Restaurant. The shop was still packed with long queues, and there wasn't a single empty table in the spacious open area; everyone was eating.

"The weather is alright outside now, but it won't be suitable to be outside in winter."

Helian Yue was surprised to see so many people here, as it was his first time here.

“So it’s more convenient to buy a restaurant. Everyone can eat indoors without worrying about the wind and rain.” Wen Luozhi picked up the panda on the cashier’s counter and looked at it, liking it more and more.

The little wooden carving of the successful candidate in the imperial examination has been selling well in the shop these past few days, but now only this lucky panda is left, and it's not for sale.

We'll have to wait until the "carp leaping over the dragon gate" sculpture is completed before we can talk about it again.

As soon as Zhou Shen came out with his things, he saw a man and a woman standing at the counter.

The two stood very close, their heads almost touching, seemingly talking to each other. Wen Luozhi's eyes and brows were full of smiles, but the man, though not speaking, just quietly watched her, his eyes never leaving her, as if they contained many things.

He understands what's inside; it's something you only understand when you're with someone you love.

Upon thinking of the sachet, Zhou Shen immediately understood; it must have belonged to this man.

He dropped some of the things in his hand on the ground. Wen Luozhi heard the sound and looked over to see him looking in her direction.

"Luo Zhi is here..."

Zhou Shen didn't ask who the person next to her was, and simply said, "Squat down and pick up the things."

When he stood up, Wen Luozhi had already brought Helian Yue over. "Zhou Shen, this is A-Yue."

She affectionately linked arms with Helian Yue, a faint smile on her face, while Zhou Shen stood there, stunned.

Zhou Yun happened to be passing by and saw the three of them. Seeing her brother standing there dumbfounded, she had no choice but to go inside.

"Brother, some customers outside are urging you to hurry up."

She tugged at his sleeve, and Zhou Shen snapped out of his reverie and smiled at Helian Yue, but the smile carried a hint of bitterness.

"Sister Luo Zhi, you all go ahead with your work. I'm going to take my brother to help."

Zhou Yun said with a grin and then pulled Zhou Shen out.

Wen Luozhi shrugged, and Helian Yue glanced outside and happened to see Zhou Shen also turn around.

Their eyes met in a flash, and Zhou Shen hurriedly looked away as Helian Yue's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"What are you looking at? Let's go eat first, they'll take over later."

Seeing Helian Yue looking outside, Wen Luozhi cupped his face and gently patted it.

Helian Yue pulled down her small hand and held it tightly, a hint of jealousy in his voice: "After I leave, you can't get too close to other men."

He wasn't that stupid. The man named Zhou Shen clearly liked Luo Luo, which was why he acted so strangely when he saw the two of them together.

Wen Luozhi held his hand tightly, pulling him along as they walked, saying, "I'm only close to my dad and brother, aren't I? Why are you being so fussy, you grown man?"

Although there was a hint of disdain in her words, Helian Yue felt a surge of joy upon hearing them.

He was afraid that if he suddenly came back one day and saw her with another man, he would definitely not be able to stand it, he would go crazy.

Looking at her round head in front of him, he thought he should give her something to keep her there.

When the two entered the house, Wen Zijing had already led Yan Che to sit down, where Su Xian, whom they hadn't seen for quite some time, was also present.

Su Ranzhi was sitting next to Su Xian, feeling bored. When she saw Wen Luozhi arrive, her eyes lit up, and then she noticed Helian Yue next to her.

"Luo Zhi, who is this young master?"

She ran over, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them. Wen Luozhi, without any hesitation, flashed her little tiger teeth and smiled at her, saying, "Just as you thought."

Su Ran was delighted. She ran back to Wen Zijin's side and said gleefully, "Zijin, Luo Zhi brought a man over!"

She knew that Wen Zijin cherished this younger sister, and now that her sister had suddenly brought a man over, she wondered what he would think. Suddenly, she had the urge to tease him.

Wen Zijing's expression turned grim in an instant. He looked up and saw the unremarkable-looking man standing with his sister. "Luo Luo, come over here to Fifth Brother."

His tone was unusually cold, but Wen Luozhi wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she smiled and pulled Helian Yue to sit down next to him.

Perfect! Two seats available!

Wen Zijing glared at her with exasperation, then looked at Helian Yue. Why did he feel that those eyes looked a little familiar?

I'll deal with you in a bit!
