Tang Zhou knew he couldn't keep teasing her; it was getting late.

There are some things he's not in a hurry to do.

So he let Ah Li come in and wait, while he packed his own clothes into his suitcase and came out with Ah Li.

Ahri tilted her head, and just like that, it was really gone.

Looking at the still clean and tidy bed, Ahri silently withdrew her gaze.

Tang Zhou went to the counter to check out first. When he turned around, he saw that Ali looked very regretful. He walked over to Ali and said, "It's not that I don't want to, or that I can't, it's just that it's too late now, and you have to get up early tomorrow."

When Ah Li saw that Tang Zhou looked like he was doing it for her own good, she realized, "Goodness, this guy is practically saying outright that he has great stamina, isn't he!"

Ahri angrily pulled the person away, saying, "Hurry up and go back, or you'll wake up the boss and his wife."

However, when they returned, the boss was still awake and waiting for them.

As someone with experience, the boss could tell from their neat clothes and unchanged expressions that nothing had happened between them.

So the boss said to Tang Zhou, "I've arranged another room for you, you can stay there for now."

Ahri breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they weren't in the same room. Otherwise, she might not have been able to control herself; she wasn't someone who could resist temptation.

Tang Zhou has entered a very strange mode because of the kiss just now.

The thought of the two of them being in the same room tonight filled Ah Li with a huge sense of dread.

Tang Zhou did not refuse and said calmly, "Okay, thank you, Uncle."

The boss led Tang Zhou to his room, then turned back to Ali and said, "Ali, you should get some rest too."

"Okay, boss, you should get some rest too."

Ahri also wanted to call him uncle, and auntie too.

However, the proprietress said, "It sounds better to call you 'proprietress.' It sounds so nice to hear you call me 'proprietress.'"

So, Ahri kept calling them "boss" and "boss lady".

Who could resist Ah Li's voice, which sounds like a girl from Suzhou or Hangzhou—delicate, soft, and sweet? Anyone who hears it would be completely captivated.

After being busy for almost half a month, Tang Zhou also spent almost half a month working here.

The proprietress couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Ah Li, you should go back."

The proprietress really liked Ali, and the group was very lively. During this time, they treated Ali and Tang Zhou like their own children.

However, she could tell that Tang Zhou was very capable; her old man couldn't understand anything he said on the phone every day.

Sometimes people would come to me with documents and ask me to take a look and make a decision.

The proprietress patted Ali's hand and said, "Go back and live a good life with Tang Zhou. When you get married, don't forget to invite us to your wedding banquet."

Ah Li quite likes the busy feeling here every day, but she also knows that while she can do it, Tang Zhou can't.

Tang Zhou had been with her for so long, just waiting for Ah Li to be willing to go back with him.

"I'll leave after I finish today's work."

"Don't talk about finishing today or tomorrow. In business, there's never a day when you're not busy. Ali, you and Tang Zhou don't need to work tonight. Be our customers and try our cooking."

The boss came over and said the same thing, and the boss's wife nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, you don't need to work tonight."

However, when there were more customers, Ali and Tang Zhou still helped out together.

When the night was deep and quiet, there were no customers left at the stall.

The boss said, "I was hoping to have a nice meal and some drinks with you guys, but alas, I'm getting old and can't stay up late anymore."

Ah Li smiled gently and said, "Uncle, just go to sleep. It won't make a difference if you have another drink. I've tasted so much of your cooking over the years, and it's deeply imprinted on my taste buds."

The boss pretended to be unhappy and said, "Why are you calling me 'Uncle'? Call me 'Boss'! I've heard so many people call me 'Boss,' but your way of saying it is different. It sounds really good."

The proprietress chimed in, "That's right, let your uncle and me hear it a little longer. We don't know when we'll hear that voice again."

Ahri laughed and shouted a couple more times, saying, "Where can't you hear me? We can still make phone calls and send video calls later."

Finally, after chatting and laughing, they all went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, Ah Li left with Tang Zhou.

The boss and his wife also got up very early and brought a lot of things for Ali.

However, Tang Zhou said, "Uncle, Aunt, Ali and I are going to take a plane later. Some things can't go through security. Next time I drive Ali back myself, you can get them for us."

"But we've already prepared all of this."

Looking at the large and small bags that had been prepared, the proprietress sighed and said, "But it doesn't matter, I'll send them to you later."

Just then, a woman in her thirties appeared with two children.

She seemed to be in a hurry, and as soon as she arrived, she called out to the boss and his wife, "Dad, Mom."

The two children called out, "Grandpa, Grandma."

The owner and his wife turned around and greeted them happily, "Why are you back today?"

The woman looked at the bags on the ground with displeasure and said, "If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known you were all being so nice, not only taking in people you didn't know anything about, but also preparing food and drink for them."

Ah Li tried to explain, but the woman turned her back on him, picked up everything on the ground, and urged the two elderly people to go inside, saying, "Come on, come on, let's go back quickly. We've been hungry all the way here."

The proprietress could only look awkwardly at Ali, who said it was alright and added, "Boss, proprietress, we're leaving now."

Tang Zhou also left with Ali, pulling two suitcases.

The woman watched Ah Li leave before letting out a sigh of relief and saying, "If I hadn't heard from my neighbor Aunt Wang that you had hired a girl, I wouldn't have known that you treated her like your daughter. All these bags and packages are almost as much as the New Year's gifts you prepare for us every year when we come back."

"You child, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not making this up. You don't even know what those two people do. They just randomly recruit people."

The woman pushed open the door to the room where Ah Li had stayed, muttering to herself, "I wonder if those two are honest or if they stole anything."

Then they saw a stack of money on the table.

The landlady quickly went inside and picked up a small amount. The woman also noticed a note on the table, picked it up, and said, "This is nothing. Why are you talking about lodging and food expenses?"

The proprietress patted the woman's arm and said, "You, you're going to drive me crazy! You always have such a loose tongue."

The boss heard the noise and came over to take a look, saying, "Where are those two kids leaving money?"

"Don't give it to me."

The woman reached out to take it, but the proprietress slapped her hand hard, and she pulled it back.

The boss said, "I'll go get the car and take the money back to the person."
