Chapter 455 A Different Manager Wan

As dusk deepened, the shadows of people stretched long.

An'an held Pingping's hand and skipped around happily.

She turned her head and asked again, "Uncle Gousheng, is Brother Little Monkey really back?"

"Yes, I'm back."

Despite An'an's repeated questions, Wu Gousheng remained patient and answered them without showing any impatience.

Pingping then asked, "Uncle Gousheng, has my father come back too?"

In his memory, whenever his little monkey brother came back, his father would definitely come back too.

“Your father is busy and hasn’t come back yet,” Wu Gousheng replied.

The two little ones looked slightly disappointed, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.

Wu Choudan looked up at his older brother and asked, "Brother, when are we going home? I miss Dad and Mom!"

Compared to Pingping and An'an, Wu Choudan is the one who hasn't seen his parents in a long time.

He was always at the academy whenever his parents came to visit, so he didn't have time to see them.

Whenever his older brother returned to the village to do something, he would also be at the academy.

Since coming to town to study, his world seems to consist of nothing but studying.

Wu Gousheng was taken aback by Wu Goudan's question; he seemed not to have expected his younger brother to say such a thing.

In his eyes, his parents didn't like him, so they wouldn't worry or care if he didn't go home.

Over time, he lost interest in going home and seeing his parents, and instead began to regard Wan Qiqi's house as his own!

But he forgot that his younger brother was still young, growing up with his parents and having a good relationship with them, so he would inevitably miss his parents.

"When you take a break from school, I'll take you to see your parents." Wu Gousheng thought for a moment. His parents should have returned to the village in the next few days, and it was almost time to plant rice!

"Okay!" Although Wu Choudan didn't know when he could take a break from school, he was very happy at the thought of seeing his parents.

The four people walked on at dusk.

An'an suddenly stopped in front of the candied hawthorn stall, turned her head to look at Wu Gousheng, and said in her childish voice, "Uncle Gousheng, can I buy a few candied hawthorns? I want to bring some for Brother Little Monkey..."

Wu Gousheng was powerless against An'an's coquettishness and had no choice but to bite the bullet and risk being scolded to buy candied hawthorns for the little ones.

Holding a string of candied hawthorns in each hand, An'an skipped and hopped towards Xinglong Restaurant.

At the entrance of Xinglong Restaurant, Chen Molin held three strings of candied hawthorns in his hand, a faint smile on his face.

He used to have no money, and everything was bought by Sister Qi.

Now that he has money, he not only wants to give it to Sister Qi, but also wants to buy delicious food for Pingping and An'an.

Wan Qiqi came out, looked at the candied hawthorn in his hand, and couldn't help but shake her head.

It's all my fault for letting the child eat candy, which led to this bad habit of loving sweets.

But it's normal for kids to love sweets, after all, she loved sweets when she was little too.

The consequence was that at a young age, my teeth were decayed, and the pain was excruciating.

Wan Qiqi shifted her gaze from the candied hawthorn to the restaurant across the street.

Even though it was already dusk, the crowds of visitors from all directions were already immense.

Even when guests from all directions ran out of ingredients along the way, they would come to Xinglong Restaurant to borrow some and sign a loan agreement.

Zhu Chengye was not one to stand idly by and leave someone to die, so he agreed to the request.

Wan Qiqi glanced at them twice, then looked away and focused her gaze on the four people who were approaching.

"Little Monkey Brother~" An An called out, running over and bumping into Chen Molin's arms.

She tilted her head back, a bright smile on her face, and said in a childish voice, "Little monkey brother, I bought you something delicious!"

As she spoke, she released Chen Molin, held the candied hawthorn high in her hand, and looked at him with an expression that seemed to be asking for praise.

Chen Molin was taken aback, his eyes curving into two crescent moons, sparkling with starlight.

He raised his hand, revealing the candied hawthorns he had bought, and said, "I bought some too!"

Chen Molin bought candied hawthorns because he knew An'an liked them.

An'an bought candied hawthorns because she wanted to buy them for her little monkey brother, and her mother wouldn't scold her.

When their thoughts collided, even Wan Qiqi couldn't help but feel envious.

If she had such a good playmate when she was a child, she would probably be overjoyed!

Childhood sweethearts, it seems like it's impossible for them not to get married.

However, the child was still young, so Wan Qiqi wouldn't have thought of that.

Besides, nobody knows what will happen in the future, so let's just let things take their course!

After all, many childhood sweethearts can't resist the arrival of a new love interest. Who can know what will happen in the next ten years?

"Alright, stop standing at the door, come inside and play." Wan Qiqi patted the two children on the shoulder, gesturing for them to go inside.

Seeing that her mother hadn't mentioned the candied hawthorns, An'an immediately pulled Chen Molin inside, afraid that her mother would realize what was going on and confiscate one of the candied hawthorns.

As long as her mother doesn't find out, she can eat two portions!

Pingping was much more honest than An'an. She handed over the candied hawthorn in her hand and said, "Mother, you can have this."

Wan Qiqi was stunned for a moment, hesitating whether to take it or not, when Pingping had already stuffed the candied hawthorn into her hand and ran away after her.

Wu Choudan greeted sweetly, "Hello, Sister Qi!"

They then entered the restaurant.

Wu Gousheng stood in front of Wan Qiqi, scratched his head, and said, "Sister Qiqi, I... I only bought them because they're still young..."

"It's alright, let them eat!" Wan Qiqi stared at the candied hawthorns for a moment, then took a bite.

One bite and I almost cried from the sourness.

She then said, "Next time, we'll try a different place. The hawthorns here are too sour; kids won't grow teeth if they eat too many."

Even as she was saying this, she couldn't stop and took another bite.
