"How is that possible!"

She had seen everything in the teahouse. It was just some medicinal herbs for health care. They were all common things and nothing special.

People in the Beijing circle have seen all kinds of rare things, so they wouldn't be so obsessed with a cup of health tea.

In those health clubs, there is no limit on the tea and snacks.

What on earth did Bai Lu do to make these people flock to her store?

Ding Wan muttered, "I also heard this from a drinking buddy of mine. He said her tea is very effective. If you want good things, you have to become a member to buy them."

"member?"

Lu Anning recalled Bai Lu's previous mention of teahouses offering different services for different groups of people. She had originally thought the emphasis was solely on service, but now it seemed the tea and snacks offered should also be different.

Not everyone is stupid and rich, and Bai Lu can make everyone follow her things just by talking.

If you think about it carefully, it seems more like Bai Lu is hiding something about the situation in the teahouse.

Ding Wan became interested: "Why don't we go and see what kind of medicine is sold in the Bailu gourd?"

"Bai Lu is extremely wary of me. As soon as I show up, she will definitely hide herself tightly."

Ding Wan smiled. "What a coincidence! They recently prepared a mysterious masked ball, and only teahouse members can get tickets. Coincidentally, my friend lost the ticket to me."

"You want to go?"

“Members can bring one companion.”

Lu Anning curled his lips: "When?"

"The day after tomorrow evening, twelve o'clock."

"So late?"

If it were any other time, Lu Anning could find an excuse to go back later. In the middle of the night, she definitely couldn't hide it from Tang Jingyuan's eyes. But now, she just thought the teahouse was strange. Without solid evidence, Tang Jingyuan might not believe her and might even think she was being too suspicious.

"It depends. I'll try to find a way out!"

"If it really doesn't work, just tell your Third Master the truth. He might not refuse to let you go."

Lu Anning sighed softly. Based on that time, she was sure that Tang Jingyuan would not agree.

"I'll think of a solution first. We'll contact each other later."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Anning fell into deep thought.

How can I get him to agree to let me go out without him getting suspicious?

If only he happened to be out for something that night.

Two days passed in a flash. Lu An Ning thought of countless excuses, but none of them satisfied her. She simply told him that she had made an appointment with Ding Wan to go out and play. And if she stayed out all night without him, he would definitely not agree.

Ding Wan sent another message to Lu An Ning to confirm the situation, but Lu An Ning was at a loss.

She suddenly became curious and asked, "How did you get my brother to agree to let you go out and play?"

It was the middle of the night!

Ding Wan chuckled, "What a coincidence! Your brother happened to be on a business trip to the neighboring city today. Tonight, I have the final say."

Lu An Ning sighed: "You are not afraid that he will suddenly come back in the middle of the night."

"You're such a jinx! I haven't been out playing for a long time. Your brother keeps forbidding me from doing this and that, and it's driving me crazy. I strongly suspect my father made me marry your brother so he could control me."

Lu Anning laughed out loud: "My brother doesn't care about unimportant people."

The more he controls, the more he cares.

"Anyway, there's no problem on my end. The key is you."

"I……"

Lu Anning hesitated for a moment: "I'll see if there's a chance to come out. If not, you'll have to go get some information for me first."

"Me alone? That would be so boring!"

"I'll try my best. If you're alone, be careful. Got it?"

Lu Anning was still wary of unknown things.

As it was almost time to get off work, Lu Anning saw Tang Jingyuan sending her a message saying he wanted to pick her up, and her heart was completely at peace.

If I don’t have to work overtime, can I still pray for emergencies?

She hid her thoughts and got into the car with a smile. Seeing that Tang Jingyuan was as usual, she asked him indirectly about what was going on in the teahouse.

"Have you been following the news about Bailu Teahouse lately? I heard it's very popular. The female employees in my company can't wait to buy one every day."

Tang Jingyuan said calmly, "I heard the response was good, which surprised me. If it can maintain its current state after the novelty wears off, that would be great."

"Have you heard any other news?"

"Other news? What do you mean?"

"In our circle, it seems that many celebrities and wealthy women also like her tea."

In the past, they would choose coffee and dessert shops for afternoon tea, but now, many of them go to her place instead.

A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Jingyuan's eyes: "Really? Who told you that?"

"I overheard it by accident, so I asked you out of curiosity. Didn't Bai Lu tell you about the situation in the teahouse?"

Tang Jingyuan shook his head. "I'm already busy enough with company matters every day. How can I have the time to manage her teahouse? Originally, we invested in her as a favor. We don't really care whether it makes money or not."

It seems that Tang Jingyuan is not aware of this.

Or maybe the teahouse's audience is more inclined towards women, so they didn't get the message.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Tang Jingyuan asked, "What's wrong? Did you hear something?"

"What else could it be? I'm just a little surprised that her tea has such a huge influence."

"Regarding marketing strategies, as long as we make money, we won't be too busy and it will be easy for us."

Lu Anning nodded and quickly changed the subject.

That night, Tang Jingyuan went to the study to work as usual. Lu Anning leaned on the sofa, eating snacks absent-mindedly. She didn't read a single word of what was said in the new drama.

As the time was getting closer to eleven o'clock, and she couldn't think of any other solution, she could only let Ding Wan go alone.

Just as she was lost in thought, steady footsteps were heard upstairs.

"It's almost eleven o'clock, aren't you going to bed yet?"
