Chapter 519: Worried

Miss Du actually wants to buy comics, and she wants 100 copies at once?

Hu Xiner was full of doubts. She had only heard that Miss Du was fond of men and liked to wield guns and sticks, but she had never heard that she liked to read comics?

The number of 100 books is not much compared to Miss Du's family background, but she came to the rescue of Mu Xin Comics Shop and generously supported it. It is hard not to think that she has a different view of Mu Xin Comics Shop.

And the reason behind this...

Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Could it be that Miss Du really fell in love with their Yun Jue?

Before she could figure out how to ask this question tactfully, Mr. Shen beside her asked, "Miss Du, do you like reading comics too?"

Miss Du glanced at him. Although Mr. Shen was quite handsome, she no longer had any improper thoughts about him after he met the Lu family.

After all, let alone men, even women would pale in comparison to Mu Qing and Lu Yunjue.

Her eyes were indifferent, not as full of admiration for him as before, and Mr. Shen could naturally see this.

His eyes flickered between Hu Xin'er and Miss Du, and he smiled and said, "Then I'll buy 100 comics too, just to show my support for Shopkeeper Zhao!"

Zhao Si didn't expect to have such an income. He was overjoyed and rushed inside to prepare the goods.

After seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but stop and look at it again and again. Some curious people whispered and spread the matter, while others hesitated and stepped into the comic shop again.

With the face of the prefect's son and Miss Du, I don't think the Zhou family would dare to do anything else.

Today's events can be described as full of twists and turns.

Zhao Si had already prepared for a poor business today, but unexpectedly, with the help of a noble person, a crowd gradually gathered and even lined up in front of the comic book shop.

He was naturally counting the money with a smile on his face, but there were a few bruises on his handsome little face, which made him look quite funny.

Hu Xiner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had spoken so nicely to Zhao Si before. If the business failed because of the Zhou family when it actually opened, even if Zhao Si didn't mind, she would still feel uneasy.

The advertising was very successful, and people came one after another to exchange their old comics for new ones. Zhao Si had his own unique way of identifying his own comics, and because it was the first day of the event, there were not many people exchanging fake ones for real ones.

Most of those who buy comics are veiled ladies who live in the boudoirs. Apart from embroidery and learning management, their lives are quite boring.

After they were shown the new comics, they all let out a low exclamation, with joy flashing across their faces.

Miss Du originally just bought those comics to show her support, but now she was sitting together with Hu Xiner, watching the customers coming and going.

Somehow... maybe because she'd been teased before? So when Hu Xin'er met this strange Miss Du, her heart was pounding.

She mustered up her courage and asked, "Miss Du, why are you helping me today?"

"It's our duty to help those in need when we see injustice, especially when it's a beauty like you." Miss Du smiled and put her hands behind her back. Although she praised Hu Xiner, her eyes were clearly looking at the pretty girl passing by.

Mr. Shen didn't leave for some reason, and the three of them just stood there together.

In the end, Hu Xiner chose to leave first in a very awkward manner.

Although the comic book shop was very busy, she had no intention of managing it for Zhao Si.

After all, logically speaking, Zhao Si is the real owner of the store, and she is just a helper to make plans. If converted into a modern position, she is just Zhao Si's employee, or one of the shareholders.

So there is no need to do everything yourself.

But on the way back, she kept thinking about Miss Du.

In the following days, she was busy giving advice to Zhao Si's shop. Fortunately, the burning of pirated books on the first day caused a sensation. Those who exchanged their old books for new ones alone brought huge traffic to the shop.

Since the publicity effect has been achieved, the comic book store's business is naturally getting better and better, and Zhou Chenghe did not come to make trouble again.

Mr. Shen came here every day, and every time he asked about the whereabouts of the painter.

Because he almost turned against her last time, Hu Xin'er didn't bother to pay attention to him. She always said the most perfunctory words to him with the most polite smile.

Miss Du comes over almost every day. The two of them are like door gods in the comic shop. Zhao Si is very happy because having these two people is like having a storefront.

But Hu Xiner was always worried that Miss Du had some intentions towards her family, so she was uneasy.

That day, she was walking in the alley, still thinking about how to further expand her business while dealing with the two "nobles" who came to hang out in the comic shop every day.

The smell of food wafted from the house. Hu Xiner touched her stomach and realized that she was starving.

She was just about to knock on the door, but she saw the mossy wooden door slowly open in front of her. Behind the door was a man wrapped in bandages. He was looking at Hu Xiner with a look of surprise.

Hu Xin'er was startled, her brows relaxed, but then quickly frowned again: "Husband, didn't I tell you not to go out? You need to recover now, you should just lie down at home and recuperate."

Listening to his wife's coquettish words, Mu Qing's eyes softened: "I was worried about you, so I wanted to go out and find you."

"That's not possible..." Hu Xiner just said that she couldn't go out with such a bandage on her head, otherwise people would think she was a monster, but for the sake of her husband's self-esteem, she still held back.

She hesitated for a long time: "Anyway, don't go out these two days, otherwise I will be worried about you. I'm fine outside, didn't I tell you last night?"

Mu Qing took her hand and pulled her in.

When the two returned to the room, the table was already filled with Hu Xiner's favorite dishes. The family members were all gathered around the table, waiting for her with smiles on their faces.

As soon as Hu Xin'er saw the cooking skill of this dish, she knew that it was made by Mu Qing himself. Her heart couldn't help but feel warm, but she said on the surface: "Didn't you say that you would take good care of yourself? Why are you cooking for me? You can let the servants do these things."

Mu Qing rubbed her head, a hint of helplessness and guilt flashing in his eyes.

Could he say that he was unable to leave the house and was always worried that his wife would be kidnapped, so he was restless and could only rely on cooking to relieve his emotions?

As they were eating, Hu Xin'er suddenly realized something was wrong: "Huh? Mom, why are you so worried? Did something happen to you, or is the food not to your liking?"

Mother Lu looked at her and said with a wry smile, "I still can't hide it from you..."
