Xiaoxiao pouted and said, “As the saying goes, reap fortunes in the business world but make ruins in love affairs. Why don’t you make it up to me, Sister

Liu?”

Shopkeeper Liu spat at her with a red face and tried to change the topic. “Are you really not going to accept our Boss’s olive branch?”

Xiaoxiao looked at her strangely. “I didn’t accept it?

Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a while and suddenly pointed at herself excitedly.

“Me?”

Xiaoxiao glanced at her from the corner of her eye. “You don’t feel sorry for

Shopkeeper Xu anymore?”

Shopkeeper Liu said seriously, “In business, you’ve already agreed to cooperate with Eldest Young Mistress. Oh, I mean, you’ve already agreed with Mrs. Shen. How can you go back on your word? Moreover, won’t it make you look easy to bully if you’re so easily comforted? No, no. This way, everyone will step on you in the future. How can that do?”

Then, she added, “My heart doesn’t ache for him. I’m just pretending to be pitiful for him because we worked together.”

Xiaoxiao:… You’re really good at selling your teammates.

Shopkeeper Liu, who prioritized her career, couldn’t wait to ask, “So what new things did you think of?”

Xiaoxiao imitated Shopkeeper Liu’s usual manner and poked her. “What’s the

hurry! I have to work slowly to do the fine work.”

Shopkeeper Liu was shocked. “You made it yourself?”

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her. “Do you understand business secrets?!

Shopkeeper Liu understood too well, so she was also looking forward to it from the bottom of her heart. Little did she know that Xiaoxiao pushed back the delivery date purely because…

Cough, cough. Then, Little Big Brother’s birthday was coming up. She wanted

to give him a unique surprise.

She knew that her needlework was not good, but if she could make exquisite dishes. With some effort, she could still make this gift herself.

Shopkeeper Liu really wanted to scold her. It was a secret, so what was she blushing for? However, she did not want to push the little God of Fortune away, so she tried her best to hold it in. “What are we eating today? Can we have Mianmian Cake?” Mianmian Cake was their name for a cake without cream. It sounded appropriate.

Xiaoxiao nodded generously. “I’ll bake some biscuits and rice crackers for you.

They’re sweet, salty, and delicious.”

Xiaoxiao rushed into the kitchen. She was so excited that she couldn’t stop herself. If she hadn’t heard that Rong Yan had already returned, the table wouldn’t have been able to hold all the food. She scratched her head and asked Little Big Brother, who didn’t look very relaxed, “Why don’t we send some to Shen Tianci’s house?”

Rong Yan was not in the mood to care about Shen Tianci’s treatment. He silently took the initiative to take Xiaoxiao’s things and handed them to Yun Er, who had just sent them back, before standing beside her.

He was much taller than her. He could see a small swirl on the top of her head and two strands of hair that were still slightly yellow. The coral beads that he had given her were tied to the two strands of hair. As Xiaoxiao walked, they kept shaking and colliding. He raised his hand and touched them gently, only to receive Xiaoxiao’s puzzled gaze and the delicious snacks in her mouth.

“Is it delicious? It’s still hot!”

How could she still smile so brightly and innocently after experiencing that?

He suddenly understood why he was attracted to her. “You look good when you

smile.”

Xiaoxiao suspected her ears, and Yun Er, who was not far away, suspected that there was something wrong with his head. Only Rong Yan, who had said this, was neither fast nor slow, as if his ears were not slightly red.

Xiaoxiao was teased. Not to be outdone, she ran over. “You look good even if

you don’t smile!”

She won!

Yun Er was speechless.

He wanted eyes he couldn’t see with, ears he couldn’t hear with, and a head

that couldn’t think.

Something had obviously happened between Master and Miss Ning! But their statuses were too different!

Taking advantage of the fact that Miss Ning went to the Shen Residence, Yun Er couldn’t help but ask, “Is Master prepared to take Miss Ning in?” Were his buddies going to treat her as their future master’s concubine in the future?

Rong Yan asked, “When did I say I wanted a concubine?”

Yun Er had yet to understand the meaning of these words when she heard him say again, “It’s enough for one person to know and guard each other.”

Yun Er admitted that he was rather stupid. Otherwise, how could he have understood that his master planned to make Miss Ning the main consort? Hahahaha! Help, his master had become abnormal!!!

It was not that Miss Ning was not good, but with her status, even if her master was not favored, he was still a prince. How could he let a farm girl be the main consort?

When Xiaoxiao finished knocking on the door and asked Yun Er to bring the things in, she realized that the latter was in a bad state. She looked at Little Big Brother strangely, but he only smiled.

Aiya, a boy in love was even more charming.

She said seriously, “I think I should have let you knock on the door just now.”

Why did Rong Yan ask?

Xiaoxiao said, “Because you look good when you knock-”

Rong Yan:

Yun Er: Save me, save me, save me!!

Before lunch time, the Shen Family received the still hot snacks. Knowing that Xiaoxiao was outside, Shen Tianci uncharacteristically abandoned the snacks that had just been served in the kitchen and went straight to her.

The servants were surprised that their young master had changed, but Shen Tianci secretly mocked them for being too stupid. Ning Xiaoxiao didn’t bring food this time? She had already brought food, so why would he eat the kitchen’s food?! Perhaps he could even ask her to cook some dishes!

The mysterious shop outside the academy had opened for business, but up until now, no one knew what they were selling. They had asked the people in the surrounding shops. Some said that this was a teahouse, some said that they sold pancakes here, and some said that this was a snack shop. So, which answer was true?

Xiaoxiao did not waste any of her help. She left bamboo sticks in the Fragrance Restaurant and Ruyi Clothing Shop that said, “New shop opens for business and testing menu at half price.” As long as they entered the shop with the sticks tomorrow, all the products sold could be obtained at half price.

This generous business method really aroused a lot of curiosity. In Xiaoxiao’s words, they would be little fools if they did not take advantage.

When they entered the county, they were empty-handed. When they returned home, Xiaoxiao only brought school supplies for her brother. The rest was hidden in the shop.

She believed that Little Big Brother Ah Yan would not tell anyone. She had already given Yun Er his hush money—a big bag of snacks!

She had bought a lot of things this time, so no one would notice that half of the variety of seeds was gone.

The space was lush now, and the warehouse was full. Xiaoxiao felt sincerely proud every time she looked at it. When she looked at the total points that were close to 30,000, she was even more elated.

Seeing the smile on her face, Rong Yan couldn’t help but touch the pendant at his waist. Although the people in the old residence were unlucky, there was one thing they did well today, and that was to interrupt what Ning Xiaoxiao wanted to say to him. How could a woman confess her feelings first?

Yun Er didn’t understand why his master was smiling at this thing. Even if his master wasn’t favored, he wouldn’t have taken a fancy to such lousy jade in the past.

Rong Yan said to Xiaoxiao, “Can you leave your Second Uncle and Second Aunt to me?”

She should do what she liked happily. Why should she be troubled by those despicable people?

Xiaoxiao nodded and was pampered in peace.

She was taken away by Mrs. Shen and most of her snacks were taken away by Shen Tianci. Rong Yan turned a corner and went to County Magistrate Shen. “Please tell Ning Fengcai that the Ning Family’s old mansion is going on a shopping spree for Third Brother Ning and Little Aunt Ning.”

He continued, “When he’s at his most furious, let him go home with the excuse of ’Celebrating Noble Consort’s birthday’..”
