Chapter 655 (2/2)

She knew that staying behind would be a bad idea!

“Who are they? They don’t look like they’re from our empire?” asked the empress dowager when they left, though she wasn’t too invested in the answer.

“They came with us, they’re with Ye Lang,” answered Ye Chengtian.

“Ye Lang?!” The empress dowager was surprised at this answer, though she seemed to have misunderstood.

“Yep, it’s that kid’s friends but not the kind you’re thinking of! They’re from the Romantic Floor, though they escaped with the boy to Ye City. Now, they help Ye Lang manage a teahouse,” said Long Anqi.

“A teahouse in Ye City? You mean that famous teahouse in Ye City with no name?” asked the empress dowager.

She had heard of this teahouse but never got to go. Now, she didn’t just hear about it within Ye City, even people outside the teahouse talked about the place too.

However, everyone knew of the place, just not its name- because the teahouse had no name!

When Ye Lang set up the place, he did not name it, nor did he think it was important. He said calling it ‘the teahouse’ was fine, therefore the place ended up with no name.

“Yeah!” Long Anqi nodded, “That kid is always so blur, he was even too lazy to pick a name for the place. Since no one dared give it a name, everyone still calls it ‘the teahouse’. But if they’re talking about a teahouse in Ye City, then everyone knows it’s his teahouse.”

“I don’t think he’s blur at all, the kid still refuses to recognise me as his grandmother…” said the empress dowager, exasperated.

“...”

Long Anqi fell silent. She was not sure why either. She wondered if it was because of his ‘slowness’ or he was thinking about her feelings. She felt like it was likely the latter.

As a mother, of course she hoped her son cared about her feelings!

“Right, where is he? Have you received any news?” asked the empress dowager. She was impatient to know the answer.

“No, we don’t know where he is either, maybe he got lost again.” Long Anqi shook her head helplessly, though she was slightly smiling.

“Will he even come? I’m waiting for him to wish me,” said the empress dowager but she knew the answer when she saw Long Anqi’s smile. Nothing mattered to her, as long as Ye Lang was happy. She did not mind if Ye Lang lost his way.

Sometimes, a mother had to let her child be free…

“I don’t know. Theoretically, he will arrive. He always keeps his promises…” said Long Anqi.

“That’s good, as long as he comes!” nodded the empress dowager. She did not notice that Long Anqi hadn’t finished speaking.
