Chapter 286 - Wedding Invitations (1/2)
Following her usual routine, at the end of the month, Li Qin Yao visited her cafe to check on the reports. She occupied the table nearest to the counter to look at the documents as her manager, Qing Kong sat down across the table to briefed her on the sales trending.
The small bell attached to the door chimed when someone walked in. Coincidentally, Li Qin Yao raised her head at this time and was surprised to see the 'customer' that she had not seen for a long time.
Li Qin Yao spoke a few words to Qing Kong before she rose to meet Li Mu Bai who stood awkwardly at the counter. ”Why are you here?”
Li Mu Bai gave her a faint smile before he looked at the cakes displayed at the counter. Then, he turned to Li Qin Yao again and hesitated. ”I wanted to speak to you. But… do I need to buy anything first?”
At the memory of how she had tricked Li Mu Bai into buying a few slices of cakes when he had come to look for her not too long ago, Li Qin Yao burst into a heartily laugh.
”Fortunately, you found me here,” Li Qin Yao said. ”If you look for me when I was at the QL Office, I will make you purchase a property in that Tourism City before you can talk to me.”
When he heard her words, the smile on Li Mu Bai widened.
”Pick a seat and wait for a while. I'll come back and find you shortly,” Li Qin Yao said before she went into the kitchen.
”That guy seemed familiar,” Yin Mei Xuan spoke when Li Qin Yao walked in.
”Hmm… he came here before,” Li Qin Yao paused when he recalled that the last time Li Mu Bai had come over to visit her cafe was almost ten months ago. She turned to her friend and raised a brow. ”But that was months ago. How do you still remember him?”
Yin Mei Xuan laughed. ”You know that I have a good memory of good looking guys.”
Li Qin Yao rolled her eyes. ”He's my cousin.”
”You do have the same eyes,” Yin Mei Xuan pointed out. She looked at the plate in her boss's hands and smiled. ”Let me help you.”
Li Qin Yao handed the plate to her friend and instructed her to prepare a sliced chicken sandwich for her cousin. She then turned towards her small office and came out with a big brown envelope in her hand.
When Li Qin Yao slid into the seat across her cousin, Yin Mei Xuan had already served her cousin a plate of sandwiches and a cup of black coffee.
”This time, this meal is on the house,” Li Qin Yao said. ”Of course, if you want to support my business and buy a few slices of cakes for takeaway, I would be happy.”
”You made it sound like I was not supporting your business if I didn't come out with a few purchases.” Li Mu Bai sighed. ”Just pack a few slices of your best selling cakes after this. I didn't want you to say that I am not supporting a family's business.”
