Chapter 565 Encountering Xiao San at the Antique Shop

The next day.

Wan Qiqi arrived at the restaurant as usual to oversee the business and greet the guests.

Zhu Chengye arrived a little late. Upon seeing Wan Qiqi, he asked, "Did you go back last night alright? Your sister-in-law is right about some things. Be careful. Yongnian works at the county government, so he'll inevitably come into contact with many wealthy people..."

“Brother Zhu!” Wan Qiqi interrupted Zhu Chengye, “I know your concerns. From our interactions, you should also understand what kind of person Yongnian is. He didn’t abandon me during the most difficult time, and I believe he won’t in the future either.”

Even now, Wan Qiqi still remembers when she first transmigrated, Chen Yongnian knelt down in front of Wang Zhi to speak up for her.

At that time, Chen Yongnian had not yet seen the changes in her, but he still insisted on protecting himself.

No one can predict what will happen in the future, but Wan Qiqi knows that as long as she doesn't abandon him, Chen Yongnian will not leave.

Zhu Chengye paused, then recalled what had happened since he met Wan Qiqi, and replied, "Okay."

“Actually, I think he should be the one worried. I run a restaurant and have seen all sorts of people, many of whom are richer, more powerful, and gentler than him. What if I run off with someone one day…” Wan Qiqi said with a smile.

"It's normal for people to strive for higher positions," Zhu Chengye said earnestly.

Wan Qiqi was taken aback.

She suddenly realized that Zhu Chengye was somewhat hypocritical.

Zhu Chengye treated her as one of his own, but Chen Yongnian didn't seem to have reached that level yet, which is why the current situation exists.

Wan Qiqi stared at Zhu Chengye, a hint of helplessness in her expression, and said, "Brother Zhu, please don't say such things. What kind of person do you take me for? Although I like money and making money, I still have basic integrity."

Moreover, she has only met one person she truly loves across two lifetimes, so how could she possibly let go like this?

Regardless of whether Chen Yongnian liked the original owner of the body before, now that she is hers, her heart can only belong to her.

The two chatted for a while about the restaurant, continuing their daily routine.

In the afternoon, Wan Qiqi thought that since Zhu Lingshi had sent her gifts, she naturally wanted to return the favor.

She had almost finished preparing everything and could go pick it up; however, she decided on the spur of the moment to find one more nice item to send to Zhu Lingshi together, as that would be proper etiquette.

She had just left the restaurant when she bumped into Wu Gousheng, who was returning from outside.

"Sister Qi, where are you going?" Wu Gousheng saw that Wan Qiqi looked like she was going out for a stroll and wanted to go too.

"Going shopping to pick up some things, do you want to come along?" Wan Qiqi tilted her head and asked.

She thought to herself that if she started buying things, she would probably buy a lot. Bringing Wu Gousheng along would also give her someone to carry her bags, which seemed pretty good.

Wu Gousheng, unaware of Wan Qiqi's thoughts, only wanted to go along, hoping to encounter something fun, and quickly nodded.

Without saying much, Wan Qiqi led Wu Gousheng into the crowd.

First, go to the selected embroidery shop to pick up the custom-made sachet, and then start strolling around the clothing shops, cosmetic shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, and so on.

After circling around twice, Wan Qiqi still couldn't find a gift she liked.

Wu Gousheng knew Wan Qiqi was a good shopper, but he didn't expect her to be this good. He decided to take the initiative to change and end the situation, saying, "Sister Qi, I have a good place to recommend. Would you like to check it out?"

Wan Qiqi raised an eyebrow. "Alright! Lead the way."

She was worried that if she could find a suitable gift at the place Wu Gousheng recommended, she would give Wu Gousheng a day off and grant him one of his wishes.

Wu Gousheng recommended Jinshizhai, a famous antique shop in Yunhe County, where many people go to hunt for treasures.

Antique shops like these sell a mix of genuine and fake items.

Those who can appraise treasures can make money; those who can't will only get scammed.

For Wan Qiqi, it only matters whether it suits her taste and whether the materials are worth the price.

Although she doesn't know much about antiques, she does know a thing or two about jade.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Jinshizhai, Wu Gousheng's face turned very ugly. He clutched his stomach and said, "Sister Qi... Sister Qi, please excuse me for a moment. I have to take care of an important matter first. You can go in and browse first."

Wan Qiqi seemed somewhat helpless.

Last night, when she and Chen Yongnian returned home, they found Wu Gousheng eating with several other people.

Wan Qiqi was initially puzzled, but then she discovered that some of the food was half-cooked and had been mostly eaten!

It would be strange if Wu Gousheng didn't have an upset stomach today!

Her helplessness stemmed from the fact that they had been with her for some time, and although they rarely cooked, they wouldn't eat food that wasn't fully cooked.

Therefore, Wan Qiqi decided to teach these people how to cook a few dishes in the future to avoid such problems from happening again.

She watched Wu Gousheng leave clutching his stomach, sighed helplessly, and headed towards Jinshizhai.

Jinshizhai.

A richly dressed man gently fanned himself with a folding fan.

He stared at the porcelain displayed on the counter, closed his fan, gently tapped the porcelain, and asked, "Is it a fake?"

The shopkeeper of Jinshizhai wiped his sweat, his smile looking somewhat stiff and awkward. "Young Master Xiao, I assure you, everything I sell you is genuine!"

He felt a sense of helplessness; how had he managed to attract Xiao San's attention?

"Oh~ really? You dug it up from his grave yourself?" Xiao Huai said, tapping his fan a few times as if listening to the sound of porcelain.

Jinshizhai shopkeeper: "..."

He really wanted to ask someone to see the guest out, but this was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he could only coax him gently.

Xiao Huai had been browsing in this antique shop for two hours, asking the shopkeeper to introduce the origins and stories of each item, without saying whether he would buy anything or not. He just let the shopkeeper introduce the items to him.
