Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi saw her and even asked, "Who is that?"
Miss Qi replied generously, "She's a good friend of mine. I'll invite her over to play another day."
Mrs. Qi found Sheng Yueqing to be gentle and charming, and she took a liking to her.
She assumed Sheng Yueqing was a rich young lady, so she asked Miss Qi, "Your brother isn't dating anyone yet, why don't you introduce him to someone?"
The Qi family has a total of five children.
Except for Miss Qi the Second, who is a girl, all the others are sons.
The younger sons all have girlfriends and will be getting married soon.
Mrs. Qi is very worried because her eldest son has high standards and doesn't want this or that. He's already in his mid-twenties and still doesn't have a girlfriend.
Miss Qi admires Sheng Yueqing, but she is worried that her family has a strong sense of social class.
And I heard from Miss Bai that Sheng Yueqing seems to have gotten married?
She shook her head. "I heard that she seems to have a boyfriend."
She didn't know the specifics yet, and would ask Sheng Yueqing another day when she went to visit her.
Mrs. Qi exclaimed "Ah?" with some disappointment.
"It's a shame she already has a boyfriend."
It's rare to find someone she finds agreeable.
I never expected to have a boyfriend.
It looks like her son will remain single.
"Alright, then go and meet the elders from Kyoto. Be polite."
Miss Qi nodded.
"knew."
When Sheng Yueqing walked out through the side door.
Suddenly, I bumped into a wall of people.
Ah~
The other person was tall and big, and was behind the door. She was so focused on looking inside that she didn't look outside and bumped into him.
He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I bumped into you."
The other party replied indifferently, "It's alright."
Sheng Yueqing looked up and saw that cold and resolute face.
This was the benefactor who saved them in their past life; they never expected to run into him again.
"I."
She recognized him, but he didn't recognize her.
Instead, he gave her a cold look because of her excessive reaction.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that he was looking at her like she was a spy, Sheng Yueqing quickly explained, "I am a friend of Miss Qi Er. She has something to do at home today, so I will come another day. I'll take my leave now."
He ran away without looking back.
Sheng Jingheng stared coldly at the departing figure, feeling a sense of familiarity about it.
But I don't remember anyone like that; perhaps he's just imagining things.
Seeing his serious expression, Old Mrs. Sheng asked, "What's wrong? Do you have work to do?"
Sheng Jingheng hummed in agreement, "I'll go out for a bit."
He strode out and saw Sheng Yueqing looking for a rickshaw.
He glanced at Sheng Yueqing from head to toe. She had fair skin and a delicate figure, but she wasn't spoiled.
She didn't seem to see the rickshaw and walked out on her own, presumably intending to walk back.
Sheng Jingheng followed silently behind her.
I saw her buy sausages at a sausage shop, and then buy a basket of steamed dumplings at a dumpling shop.
She bought two loads of food in no time.
After observing it this way, there's nothing suspicious.
But Sheng Jingheng still went to the wedding cake shop with her.
"A beautiful time and scenery?"
I overheard the women talking about this brand of cakes while they were having tea; they seemed to say that this brand was very delicious.
But according to Qi Erya, this girl is actually taking on clothing business?
How could such a delicate woman possess so many talents?
Sheng Jingheng's suspicions, which he had put aside, resurfaced, and he found himself walking into the wedding cake shop.
"Hello, would you like to buy some cookies?"
Sheng Yueqing had just finished tidying up when she heard the bell on the glass door ring and came out.
I didn't expect to see Sheng Jingheng's cold face as soon as I came out.
She was slightly surprised, then gave a professional smile. "Sir? Would you like to buy some cakes? Our wedding cakes come in both sweet and savory varieties."
Would you like to try the beef flavor?
Without waiting for Sheng Jingheng's reply, she put on an apron and cut him two pieces of beef-filled wedding cakes, as well as ham-flavored ones.
Make him another cup of coffee.
I placed it on the small table. "Would you like to try some?"
Sheng Jingheng hummed in agreement, habitually observing the layout of the store. The store seemed simple, but it made the most of the space.
Almost no soil was wasted, and the environment was very clean.
Looking at the equipment inside the glass room, it's all imported, so it must be quite expensive.
I have no idea what this woman's background is.
Sheng Jingheng sat down, took a sip of coffee, and found it surprisingly good.
Coffee is bitter, but not purely bitter; the aroma outweighs the bitterness.
"Did you grind this coffee yourself?"
He drinks coffee often and knows that professional coffee requires a coffee machine to grind it.
But this shop doesn't seem to have a coffee machine.
Sheng Yueqing smiled and replied, "My husband ground it, and I just made it ready-made."
Sheng Jingheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "You're married?"
Judging from her appearance, she must be only eighteen or nineteen years old. Why is she married so young?
Sheng Yueqing nodded, "Yes, my family found it for me."
Sheng Jingheng sipped his coffee and asked casually, "Aren't you from Shanghai?"
She didn't have the mannerisms or accent of a typical Shanghai girl.
The key point is that she doesn't have a country accent; instead, she has a Kyoto accent, which most people wouldn't notice unless they listened carefully.
Sheng Yueqing hadn't expected him to be so observant, so she didn't deny it.
"Yes, I'm not from Shanghai. My husband and I come from a small village in the south."
"I couldn't stay at home, so I came out to work."
Sheng Jingheng nodded, took a bite of the beef wedding cake, and raised an eyebrow, "Did you make this beef wedding cake?"
Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.
