“I get along very well with Miss Qiu, and I also know that you and Yan Ting are friends. So, I sincerely want to ask you for a favor today.” Xu Jingyan’s voice was soft and sincere.

Qiu Mang became increasingly confused, and couldn't help but frown, asking in return, "Help you? Help you in what way?"

Xu Jingyan gently tapped the glass with her slender fingers, making a crisp sound. She lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Yes, although I know in my heart that Yanting will do his best to satisfy me as long as it's something I want, there are some things I don't want to get by accepting charity. I hope he gives them willingly."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang subconsciously leaned forward slightly, looked into Xu Jingyan's eyes, and asked, "So how exactly do you want me to help you?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Qiu Mang had a premonition that the request would not be so simple.

As expected, Xu Jingyan clasped her hands together, gently resting her chin on them, and spoke slowly and deliberately: "Yanting and I have known each other since childhood, we can be called childhood sweethearts. Our families are of equal social standing, and we know each other very well. In the eyes of outsiders, we are a match made in heaven, and we will walk hand in hand into marriage sooner or later. Usually, Yanting is very caring towards me, but I can never figure out why he always keeps his heart closed in front of me and is unwilling to open up his heart."

To put it bluntly, all I want is for her to help me pursue men.

Qiu Mang thought to himself, "Xu Jingyan is a graceful lady from a prestigious family, a well-bred young lady, and so beautiful. Logically speaking, pursuing men should be a piece of cake for her. Why does she have to ask me for help?"

Seemingly seeing through Qiu Mang's thoughts, Xu Jingyan smiled and continued, "You can rest assured that when Yanting and I get married in the future, I will definitely give you a generous red envelope as a token of my gratitude."

Qiu Mang quickly lowered his head, his eyes darting around, as if he could help with this favor after all!

Qiu Mang was very tempted, as he not only redeemed himself but also helped a newlywed couple get together. Most importantly, he received double the money.

When he looked up again, Qiu Mang readily agreed, "Okay, no problem!"

Xu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief, her smile growing even brighter. She said softly, "I knew it! We hit it off immediately. You'll understand me."

Qiu Mang picked up the orange juice again and tactically drank it.

"By the way, the desserts at this shop are quite delicious. Would Miss Qiu like to try some?" Xu Jingyan asked with a gentle smile and her tone became increasingly sincere.

Qiu Mang didn't stand on ceremony, "Okay!"

Xu Jingyan then gently waved to the waiter not far away and ordered three small cakes.

The children's play area is set up at the entrance of the coffee shop. Little Qiu Li is holding a small plastic shovel tightly in her hand and is squatting next to the sand pile, digging the sand with great interest.

The gentle sunlight fell on her, making her originally fair and delicate face blush slightly, like a ripe apple, exuding a touch of cute innocence.

She was engrossed in playing when a faint sobbing sound reached her ears.

Xiao Qiuli stopped what she was doing, blinked her big, bright eyes, and curiously looked in the direction of the sound.

Behind the slide, a very pretty little girl was sitting alone, tears streaming down her face like broken beads, looking extremely sad.

Qiu Li quickly got up and walked over with her short legs.

Normally, she's always been comforted by others, so she was a little at a loss when faced with her crying friend. However, the little one's mind works quickly, and her eyes darted around before she came up with an idea.

She imitated how her older sister usually comforted her, squatting down and speaking softly in a gentle voice, "Little girl, what's wrong? Don't cry, okay? If you stop crying, I'll buy you lots and lots of delicious food!"

Thinking about how she could immediately stop crying whenever her older sister mentioned buying food, Xiao Qiuli was certain that this trick would work. After all, she herself was a real little foodie.

Hearing the sudden sound, the little girl loosened her grip on her eyes slightly and peeked timidly at Qiu Li through her fingers. Her eyes were full of doubt, as if she didn't believe that this child, who was about the same age as her, could have any solution.

After a brief eye contact, she pouted and started crying again, this time even louder than before.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Qiu Li wasn't discouraged. She shook the small shovel in her hand and said again, "Don't cry. I'll give you this fun little shovel. Let's go dig in the sand together. It's so much fun!"

But the little girl remained unmoved. Instead of stopping crying, she cried even more heartbrokenly, her shoulders heaving and her little body trembling uncontrollably.

"What? This doesn't work? Why are kids so hard to soothe!"

Xiao Qiuli frowned, wringing her little hands anxiously. What kind of child is this? She doesn't want food or toys. What should we do?

Helpless, Qiu Li plopped down on the ground, pretending to be a little adult, and said loudly, "Oh dear, don't cry. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I'll help you solve them!"

As she spoke, she puffed out her small chest, exuding the air of a big sister.

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately stopped crying. She slowly lowered her small hand, revealing a delicate, porcelain-doll-like face, with slightly yellow hair loosely draped over her shoulders. At first glance, she looked like a doll that had stepped out of a fairy tale.

Xiao Qiuli exclaimed in surprise, "Wow~ You look just like Princess Elsa! I love Princess Elsa the most, so I'll definitely help you for that reason alone!"

The little girl burst out laughing at her appearance, tilting her head and teasing, "Are you a dwarf?"

Qiu Li was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder: This little girl is so pretty, how come she seems a bit slow? She clearly said Princess Elsa, not Snow White, so where did these seven dwarfs come from?

However, considering that she was pretty, Qiu Li decided not to argue with her, after all, she was a complete sucker for good looks.

She chuckled twice, scratched her head, and asked, "So what exactly is the problem you've encountered?"

The little girl sniffled, stopped sobbing, and said in a pitiful voice, "I got separated from my mom, and I can't find her anywhere..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Li frowned and subconsciously looked around. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Not far away, a woman in a khaki coat was looking around anxiously, her steps hurried through the crowd, as if she was anxiously searching for something.

Qiu Li pointed excitedly in that direction and shouted, "Isn't that your mother?"
