Chapter 343 Dream Come True, Restaurant Opens!

From childhood, Meng Yanzhi had always dreamed of owning her own restaurant, but she never expected that her dream would actually come true today, and she would actually have her own restaurant.

Meng Yanzhi hugged Xiao Xingyuan and wept uncontrollably.

"That's great, that's really great!"

"I'm so happy, A-Yuan, are you happy too?"

Xiao Xingyuan smiled gently at Meng Yanzhi and then said, "Yanzhi, I'm happy when you're happy. I've never had such a vibrant and down-to-earth life before, and I've never had such lively days. I feel that every day of mine is filled with color and sweetness, so I cherish my life now. Yanzhi, thank you."

Before meeting Meng Yanzhi, Xiao Xingyuan never imagined that life could be lived this way, or that there was another way to live life.

He put his arm around Meng Yanzhi's waist and gently kissed her: "Meng Yanzhi, you have no idea how amazing you are!"

Meng Yanzhi really didn't know how amazing she was, but when she met Xiao Xingyuan's bright eyes, she smiled gently and said, "That's because you've always been there for me. The real amazing one is you, not me! Xiao Xingyuan, you'll never know how much I cherish my life now, and how much I cherish you now."

As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi gently whispered a kiss into Xiao Xingyuan's ear.

Meng Xin and Qing Dao came in carrying plates, and were stunned when they saw this scene. They almost instinctively turned around to leave, but they never expected to be stopped.

"Why are you two running?"

"We're opening in a month. Have you found all the workers we asked you to find?"

Meng Yanzhi looked at the two of them with a smile, showing no embarrassment or shyness whatsoever.

Upon hearing this, the two of them blushed and looked at Meng Yanzhi.

After spending this time together, they now have a completely new understanding of Meng Yanzhi, but Meng Yanzhi's current state still surprised them somewhat.

Meng Yanzhi smiled and said, "Speak up!"

"We found a total of thirty people, and we're just waiting for Madam to take a look." Qingdao walked over and looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi immediately realized what was happening and looked directly at Xiao Xingyuan: "A-Yuan, can you help me take a look?"

"Here, take this. I'll go to the back and pay those bricklayers." Xiao Xingyuan chuckled, then turned and walked outside.

Meng Yanzhi nodded, pulled Qingdao and Meng Xin, and the three of them sat down together. They picked and chose from the thirty people, and finally kept twenty.

"From now on, you are workers of my Rouge Restaurant. You will do whatever I tell you to do, understand?"

"Don't worry, as long as you do your job well, I will never let you down."

Meng Yanzhi smiled, took out the contracts, and handed them to everyone.

Everything is ready; now all that's left is to open for business.

Meng Yanzhi was ready to embark on a new life, but she never expected that an uninvited guest would arrive at her door today.

When Cang Shui appeared in front of Meng Yanzhi, Meng Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, looking at him in disbelief: "You, how did you get here?"

"I came to see you." Zang Shui spoke the truth, staring at Meng Yanzhi with a gentle smile: "I didn't expect that you weren't joking when you said you didn't like being the empress, that it was true?"

"You really don't like being the empress?" Cang Shui asked, puzzled. "Why?"

Meng Yanzhi rolled her eyes at him, then said coldly, "What does it matter to you why I'm not the empress? Besides, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see what I can do."

"The Canglan Kingdom wants to open up trade with Daqian."

Zang Shui speaks the truth.

Open up trade?

Meng Yanzhi originally thought that it was already difficult enough for everyone to remain completely estranged, but she never expected that they would have to open up the market and start interacting.

She chuckled softly and then said, "That's a great idea, you're really brilliant!"

"Yes, I think it's good too, but there's a misunderstanding between our two countries right now, and I came here to clear up that misunderstanding."

"My father is getting old, and I will be in charge of the Canglan Kingdom from now on, so rest assured, I will steadfastly safeguard peace!"

Zang Shui's eyes were sparkling when she said these words.

Seeing Zang Shui's excited expression, Meng Yanzhi was truly puzzled. She frowned and then said, "Shouldn't you be saying these things to His Majesty? Why are you telling me?"

"Your Majesty? Your husband?"

"Isn't he not here?"

“You’re no longer the Empress, so does that mean you two have no relationship anymore? I… Meng Yanzhi, actually I… have always… liked you very much.”

Zang Shui blushed deeply, looking as shy as a young bride.

Well……

Meng Yanzhi had never anticipated that this person would say such a thing, nor did she expect Xiao Xingyuan to enter at this moment.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Cang Shui was dumbfounded. He pointed at Xiao Xingyuan and looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "This, this, this person, what is he doing here?"

Meng Yanzhi walked confidently to Xiao Xingyuan's side, then smiled and took his arm: "He is my husband, so naturally he should be with me."

"You're insane!" Zang Shui stared at Xiao Xingyuan in disbelief. "You've actually given up being the emperor!"

Xiao Xingyuan, with his arm around Meng Yanzhi's waist, frowned deeply and looked at Cang Shui with displeasure: "What did you just say?"

Zang Shui then realized what he had just said. His face was full of guilt and embarrassment as he whispered, "I... I didn't mean that."

"Since you're here, you're a guest. Perfect timing, why don't you try the food at our restaurant?"

Meng Yanzhi didn't continue the topic. She just patted Xiao Xingyuan's arm, smiled at him, and then took Meng Xin to the kitchen.

After thinking about it for a moment, she decided to change the flavors intentionally, wanting to give Zang Shui a little shock.

Xiao Xingyuan is now giving Zangshui a shock.

With a cold face and arms crossed, he looked at Cang Shui with displeasure and said irritably, "You're trying to steal my wife's place. Are you looking for trouble? Do you think that just because I'm no longer the emperor, I can't protect my own wife?"

After hearing this, Zang Shui felt extremely embarrassed and wished he could just die on the spot.

He looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a helpless expression: "I really didn't know you came out with me. I just like her and I want to take good care of her, that's all!"

"My wife needs your care!"
