Chapter 97:  Chapter 95: Sisi Finds a Way Out: Nan Tianzong’s Suspicion

The man strolled from afar, still dressed in a bamboo-green long robe, which accentuated his thin frame, making him appear even taller. Beneath his high, straight nose and across his thin lips, his beguiling smile barely held itself together.

Would he really have to hire this woman to mind his shop? This persistent spirit just wouldn’t leave him alone.

No, he couldn’t allow it! He needed to find an excuse to send her away.

Frowning all the time was a waste of her celestial beauty.

Liu Sisi complained mentally.

Still, she stood up, greeted the incoming man with a smile, “Shopkeeper, you’ve arrived. Today’s weather seems good. It must be a good day for making money. I’m sure your wealth will flourish and gold will flow in.”

She stood at the entrance of the shop, bathed in the early morning sun, smiling faintly at him.

Even disguised in a man’s attire, she couldn’t hide her ethereal beauty, particularly her pair of shy, watery eyes, which now seemed tinged with light melancholy. One look at her and an irresistible urge to protect her wells up, making you want to wrap her in your arms.

Damn it!

Had he lost his mind?

Nan Tianzong cursed himself quietly, disguising his expression with a smile as warm as the spring breeze, and made his way to the shop, inspecting the two children.

“Are these two children yours?” he asked as he unlocked the door.

Liu Sisi hurriedly followed, “You are spot on, shopkeeper! There was no one at home today, so I brought my two children here. But don’t worry. These two children are extremely well-behaved. They won’t cause you any trouble. In fact, they might even help attract more business…”

Before she could finish, Nan Tianzong, who had walked ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around. That smile on his otherwise gentle face instantly froze.

Liu Sisi closed her mouth, hesitated, and looking at her children, one on each side, she lowered her head in disappointment.

She understood that she shouldn’t have brought her two children, but it wasn’t a solution to continually leave them at Guihua’s house.

On the day Sister Guihua had a family emergency, she had no choice but to bring Di Xuan and Di Ying to her mother’s house, resulting in Di Yelei not finding anyone at home when he returned. After much thought, Liu Sisi decided to bring the children and try her luck. If the shopkeeper couldn’t accept it, she was prepared to leave at any moment.

Of course, before that, she wanted to give it her best shot.

But in the face of his frozen smile, she found herself unable to voice her remaining words.

Nan Tianzong grimaced as his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. He turned back and continued towards the interior, “You can leave the two kids here, but you won’t get paid for your work today. Think it through. Don’t blame me for being heartless. After all, this is not a charity!”

Liu Sisi’s eyes instantly lit up!

“Thank you, shopkeeper! I will work hard, welcome the customers well, and take good care of the children. I promise not to cause you any trouble!”

She was ecstatic!

Who knew that this man named Nan Tianzong had such a kind heart!

Just a moment ago, she thought he would reject her!

This was too much of a surprise!

Liu Sisi, overjoyed, led the siblings to a corner near the inner room, found a table and chairs for them, and then started her cleaning work for the day.

As Nan Tianzong watched her swift movement among the shelves, a surge of indescribable irritation welled up in him.

He covered his forehead in frustration!

Looking at her disappointed expression just now, his heart inexplicably stirred. The words of keeping the children just slipped out of his mouth, making him wish he could slap himself.

Haven’t he decided to find a way to send her away?
