Chapter 656: Two-Sided Cloud Court

Erya did go to the grocery store.

There is no way, this is her most important industry in the capital.

Moreover, she also wanted to meet Chang Hui.

Up to now, there is actually no love between men and women at all.

It was simply because everyone had their own difficulties back then, and they parted ways amicably without any resentment towards each other, and that slight regret faded with time.

What remains now is the deep understanding between us who met in humble beginnings and weathered the ups and downs together, as well as a friendship based on mutual trust and mutual achievement.

Over the years, Chang Hui has really helped her a lot.

She also gave Chang Hui a generous reward that no one else could give.

From the perspective of the boss and the shopkeeper, they are running in both directions, and their friendship has long surpassed a simple employment relationship.

When Erya stepped into the shop, Chang Hui was standing with his back to the door, personally instructing the shop assistants to adjust the placement of porcelain on the shelves.

He remained tall and straight, commanding with confidence, and his voice was steady and powerful.

"Yes, that jar with the lotus pattern... The brocade at the back needs to be hung straight, with the wrinkles smoothed out..."

His words stopped abruptly.

As if inspired by some invisible force, he suddenly turned around.

When his eyes fell upon the familiar figure at the door, Chang Hui froze.

"Boss." He lost his composure for a moment, then quickly recovered and bowed. "You're here. You've had a hard time traveling. You look a little thinner."

Er Luoluo smiled back generously, her smile was bright, cheerful and open.

"Chang Hui, how are you?"

It was just an ordinary greeting, but it made Chang Hui feel his eyes warm.

After not seeing him for a long time, he has become my biological son.

Come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be that much longing that I can't let go of.

But now Erya stood before him, with her unique brightness, pride and confidence, Chang Hui suddenly realized——

It turns out that I still feel moved.

Only now, they each have a new life.

This little bit of throbbing must also be suppressed.

"Boss, please take a seat here." Chang Hui quickly and carefully greeted everyone and led Erya to sit aside.

Without his instruction, the waiter brought tea.

The temperature of the tea is just right for drinking.

This is not specially prepared for Erya, but for the distinguished guests in the shop.

Ensuring that tea is always at the right temperature is just one of the many services we provide.

The snacks in the gift box are also small and exquisite.

Erya knew it must be the best on the market without having to taste it.

Chang Hui is very meticulous and does everything perfectly in these aspects.

This is also why the business of grocery stores is getting bigger and bigger.

These insignificant details do not determine anything, but together with other advanced concepts, they have created the famous brand name "Si Hai".

Chang Hui stood aside and only sat down below Erya after she told him to.

"Boss, I've sent someone to get the account books..."

"No need. I'll look at the account books later. First, show me around."

"Yes, Boss, please come this way. The trends in the capital over the past few years, as well as the changes in our shop, are indeed quite interesting..."

Chang Hui led Erya and began to walk between the shelves. His voice returned to its usual steady and clear tone as he introduced the shop's recent situation and new goods in a clear and organized manner.

The shop assistants became busy again, and the shop regained its usual liveliness.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice, illuminating the tiny dust particles in the air and also illuminating the two people walking side by side.

One is graceful and energetic; the other is calm and capable, with a focused gaze.

"How long have we been here?"

Yun Ting was in the private room of the teahouse opposite, pacing back and forth anxiously in the small space like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and asked the servant in a bad tone.

"Your Highness, it's only been a quarter of an hour." The servant shrank his neck, trying to reduce his presence.

The prince's eyes are so scary, it seems like he wants to kill someone at any time.

"It's been a quarter of an hour, and you haven't come out yet!" Yun Ting Yun Ting slammed the window frame and gritted his teeth.

He got up early today and went to look for Erya with great joy, but he found her empty-handed because he heard that she had gone to inspect the shop.

Alarm bells rang in his head, and without saying a word he went straight to the grocery store.

It’s here!

The servant beside him looked at his gloomy face and thought that he was going to rush into the shop to accuse him. He was also worried that the matter would get out of hand and was ready to stop Yun Ting at any time.

But Yun Ting rushed into the shop aggressively.

The teahouse across the street?

Then began his long and painful career as a "wife-waiting stone" and a "jealous man".

The servant was puzzled, but he didn't dare to speak.

Just then, someone else came to the shop door.

A pregnant woman with a gentle face walked into the shop.

She was accompanied by several maids and old women, one of whom looked like a wet nurse and was holding a boy in her arms.

Yun Ting didn't recognize him, but the servant had been in the capital to "keep an eye" on Chang Hui's movements, so he recognized him immediately.

"My Lord, her name is Hui Niang, and she is the wife of Shopkeeper Chang."

Yun Ting frowned.

In the shop, Erya was very smart. When she saw Hui Niang coming to look for her husband, she immediately understood her purpose.

She must have known that I had returned to Beijing yesterday, and also knew about my past with Chang Hui. She was worried, so she came looking for me.

Erya understood what was going on, but she showed no surprise and didn't say anything.

But when Chang Hui introduced the two of them, she nodded slightly.

"Manager Chang, I've finished looking through it too. I still need to check on other shops. You can have someone send the account books to my house later. You can go ahead and do your work—"

After saying this, she nodded to Hui Niang, then turned around and left the shop without any hesitation.

Chang Hui looked at his wife, then at Erya's back as she walked away. He understood Hui Niang's worries, but he could do nothing about it.

He took a step forward, gently held Hui Niang's arm, and said softly, "Why are you here? You're heavy, be careful."

There was soothing in his tone, without any blame.

He understood his wife's thoughts, but he knew even more clearly that the past was gone and there was no possibility for him and Arya anymore.

He didn't want to cause any trouble to Arya, he just wanted her to be safe and happy.

In the teahouse opposite the shop, Yun Ting saw Erya finally come out, and alone!

The gloom on his face disappeared in an instant, and his face instantly switched to a clear and sunny state.

The servant watched as someone who had just been gritting his teeth and boiling with jealousy suddenly stood up with a dazzling smile on his face, moving as fast as the wind.

"Oh, Zhuozhuo, what a coincidence! I was just wondering where to find you!"

Yun Ting rushed downstairs in two steps and "just happened" to appear just a few steps after Erya stepped out of the shop. His tone was surprised and natural, as if the person who was running wild upstairs just now was not him at all.

The servant behind him: "..."

So, is he sick, or is the prince mentally ill?

"Have you eaten breakfast this morning? I didn't. I'm starving. I wanted to go to your house for a meal. But you weren't here, and your father wouldn't give me any food."

"Nonsense." Erya scolded with a smile, "Stop slandering my father."

"I'm hungry, come and have a meal with me."

He looked as if he just happened to pass by.

Although Erya knew something was wrong, she pretended not to know and said, "Let's go."

"Husband?" Hui Niang looked at Chang Hui's gaze outside and couldn't help but speak softly.

"Yeah." Chang Hui's expression remained calm. "That's the future husband of the Dong family, the prince of the Duke's Mansion. Remember to prepare a generous gift. They should be having good things soon."
