Chapter 470 - YU JIAOS WORKSHOP (1/2)

WHEN Luo Ren opened his eyes, he found himself inside an office. A very clean and organized office for that matter. There were no extra decorations. Everything had its own purpose. One could see that the owner of this office was the type who didn't really care much about material things. They cared much more about comfort. He could see that this was something that Yu Jiao would arrange herself.

”Ahm, this is my office here,” Yu Jiao started, glancing at Luo Ren while the other was looking around her office.

She was still a bit confused on why she ended up here with her friend's older brother. She couldn't say that they were close. After all, they only met once and today was the second time they interacted again. But Luo Ren had been very kind and gentle to her. Although he did tease her a few times. But it wasn't the kind of mean teasing like how she was used to. It's more like fun teasing. Which she didn't really hate that much honestly.

He's probably kind to her because she was Luo Yan's friend. Which was probably only natural considering the close relationship between the three Luo brothers. Even Luo Jin who had a bad temper treated her with enough civility.

The relationship of the three was something truly enviable. If she had siblings, of course, step-siblings didn't count, she would also want to be close to them the way the Luo brothers were.

Yu Jiao looked down and just noticed that the two of them were actually still holding hands. She became fl.u.s.tered and panicked. She quickly took back her hand. The warmth from Luo Ren's palm still lingered there. It's as if it traveled to her face, turning it all red.

”I- ahm, does Mr. Luo want to see the weapons and other items being sold at my shop? O-or do you want to check my workshop first?”

Luo Ren stared at Yu Jiao's fl.u.s.tered expression. He really liked seeing those cheeks tinted in red. He didn't even mind hearing that grating 'Mr. Luo'. Although it's such a shame that she had to pull her hand back.

”I would love to see your workshop,” he just said.

”T-then, let's go downstairs.”

Yu Jiao walked out of the office, Luo Ren following her.

Her workshop was located at the back of her main shop. There was a special elevator that connected the second floor to her workshop that was on the first floor. She designed it that way so that she didn't have to go to the main shop in order to go to her workshop. If it wasn't designed that way, then she would have no choice but to interact with the players that were browsing items in her shop. As much as possible, she didn't want that.

That's why she employed enough NPC to deal with things like that. It was enough for her to make good weapons to sell.

They arrived at the elevator and went inside. Yu Jiao pressed the button to the first floor.

”By the way, what is the name of Jiao Jiao's shop?” Luo Ren asked while the elevator was going down.

”It's Forge Etna.”

Luo Ren nodded. ”That's a good name. Was it named after Mount Etna?” If he remembered correctly, it was a volcano that could be found at the east coast of Sicily. ”Are you interested in going to that place?”

”Hmm, not really? I actually just named the shop that way because of the lore around Mount Etna. They said that Hephaestus' workshop was located there. So, I thought it was just right to name my shop after the workshop of the Greek god of forge and fire.” Yu Jiao smiled embarrassingly. ”It's not a really cool name, right?”

”Now that I know the reason behind the name, I think it became more wonderful and meaningful. Especially since I know that Jiao Jiao put a lot of thought into it.”

Luo Ren turned to Yu Jiao and smiled.
