”Master, have you bought all of your books?”
Chen Ruoran asked caringly, and after asking twice, he still did not hear a response from Kong Linyuan, hence he raised his head and looked at him strangely.
She followed Kong Linyuan's gaze and saw Yuzhu Pavilion.
”Ruo'er, let's go to that pastry shop in front of us.” Kong Linyuan came back to reality and said softly.
Hearing that, Chen Ruoran's expression became happy, he grabbed onto the man's arm and laughed: ”Hubby truly has good taste. I heard that the new shop has exquisite and delicious pastries, I was just about to go and take a look.”
”Yes.” Kong Linyuan casually replied as he brought his men and headed back to the shop.
Shen Yao looked at Kong Linyuan with a complicated expression, and when he saw the joyous expression on Chen Ruoran's face, he could not help but sneer in his heart and follow the two into the shop.
”Yue Niang.” Once Kong Linyuan entered the shop, he walked towards Shen Zhu's direction and stared fixedly at her.
”Master Kong.” Shen Zhu politely replied.
”Welcome to Yuzhu Pavilion.” She had a faint smile on her face. Receiving them was no different from receiving ordinary customers. ”What would you like to buy?”
Shen Yao glanced at the two people who were conversing with her from afar, her face was gloomy and unsightly, but this time, she was not making trouble without reason like last time.
Now that she was fighting wisdom and courage with her concubines in the Kong Family, her personality had also calmed down a bit.
Kong Linyuan looked at the faintly smiling Shen Zhu, and the light in his eyes grew a little uneasy.
”Have you been recently …” He hesitated for a while, and then as if he had mustered up his courage, he asked about Shen Zhu's situation, and before he could finish, he was interrupted by Chen Ruoran who was behind him.
”Lady Boss, what's tasty in your restaurant?” Chen Ruoran looked around, and realized that all of the pastries on the shelves were all very exquisite, and he couldn't make up his mind at the moment.
”Madam, if you like sweet foods, you can take a look at this sweet cake. If you like it, this jujube cake tastes pretty good too. Also, you can try this egg cake first, if you like it …”
Shen Zhu went over to Chen Ruoran's side and introduced the popular pastries that were for sale, then picked up a plate of tasty pastries and placed it on his hands.
Seeing that, Kong Linyuan looked at her with a complicated gaze. Seeing that she was extremely serious about introducing the pastries in the shop, he swallowed his words back in the end.
”Elder sister can pick a few for us. You're so good at cooking, and none of the pastries in this restaurant are bad.”
Shen Yao walked through the door with a smile on his gloomy face.
As she spoke, she walked towards Shen Zhu and leaned towards him while pretending to be intimate.
Shen Zhu was startled by Shen Yao's words, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
He thought to himself: When has this good sister of hers not called her by her name in public? Why did she obediently call him elder sister today?
”Speaking of which, elder sister hasn't been home for a long time. I'm worried about you, so if you're free in the next two days, why don't you come and stay with me for a few days?”
Shen Yao pretended not to notice and took the opportunity to push Chen Ruoran to the side.
Chen Ruoran did not expect this situation to happen, she stared fiercely at Shen Yao, and just as she was about to act coquettishly towards Kong Linyuan, she saw that his gaze was fixated on Shen Yao. To be more precise, the person he was looking at was not Shen Yao, but the Shen Zhu beside her!
Chen Ruoran sensed that something was amiss and her face suddenly changed, but she did not flare up on the spot. She pretended as if nothing had happened as she walked back to Kong Linyuan's side and grabbed his arm.
After all, she was born in the Shangguan Family and had seen many scenes where she fought for the throne. She intentionally kept an eye on the situation today and planned to investigate it when she got back.
