For half a month, Fang Miao saw him almost every day. He always came to talk to her, saying some irrelevant things, gave her many small gifts, and always looked at her in a daze and muttered to herself.
Fang Miao thought he was really weird.
He came again today, but there were two carriages and a team of guards parked at the door of Beimoting, as if he was going on a long journey.
"Manager Fang, did you save the roast duck for me today?"
As soon as Helian Heng came in, he leaned against the counter naturally.
He ordered a portion of roast duck every day and had been eating it for half a month. He never said he didn't want it anymore, so Fang Miao didn't say she wouldn't save some for him.
"Those who have reserved it, please go upstairs. There are no private rooms today. They are all reserved. Only the private seats are available!"
Helian Heng raised his eyebrows and followed her upstairs.
During this time, Fang Miao walked in front, and when she saw something she was not satisfied with, she ordered the servants to solve it. The servants who served in the restaurant were all very convinced of her, and no one expressed dissatisfaction with her orders.
From the look of her, she seemed to like her current life very much. This was another side of her that Helian Heng had never seen before.
So confident and capable of standing on one's own.
She is a gentle and considerate person. No matter what happens, she will just cry silently and feel heartbroken alone.
She is like a fragile flower, unable to resist the injustice of fate.
But now, she has lived a different life, which is actually quite good. He can't bear to disturb her.
Fang Miao led him to a quieter seat and ordered food for him personally.
"Sir, is there anything else you want to eat?"
When Helian Heng sat down, he didn't sit properly, just slouched there, and then he kept looking at Fang Miao gently, with a smile on his face.
Fang Miao often felt uneasy when he looked at her like that.
She didn't understand what that feeling was, it just felt weird, but she didn't object to it.
"I'm about to go on a long journey, and I'm afraid the next time we meet will be after the New Year. I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting Shopkeeper Fang to have a meal with me today?"
Fang Miao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, the restaurant was not particularly busy today, he had been eating there for half a month in a row, creating a large profit for the restaurant, so he might as well give him face and dine with him.
"Of course, you are a distinguished guest of Bei Mo Ting. As long as you don't mind me eating too much, that's fine."
When she said that, Helian Heng couldn't help but burst out laughing. She eats a lot?
With that cat-sized stomach, he could afford to feed a hundred more.
Fang Miao didn't know why he was laughing, she was just being polite.
After ordering the dishes, the two began chatting while waiting for them to be served.
To be honest, Helian Heng didn't want to leave, but he was still the eldest prince of Daqing after all, and he couldn't refuse the imperial edict using this reason.
During his stay in Jeju, he suddenly realized that this city was good in every way and it would be nice to live here for a long time.
"Who is the boss behind you? She has quite good taste. Bei Mo Ting is the most unique restaurant I have ever seen."
He didn't believe it. The owner of this restaurant was Zhong Yun. Every bit of this restaurant revealed the delicacy of a woman. Zhong Yun could never have such ingenuity. He was just a cover.
As he spoke, he fiddled with the flowers on the table. Today's flowers were gentian, paired with a yellow flower that looked a bit like a rose and a bit like a crabapple, but he couldn't name it.
"He is Mr. Zhong Yun from Baiyun Academy, and he once worked at the Imperial College in Kyoto." Fang Miao would not reveal Jiang Sui's information.
Helian Heng was just asking casually, he was not interested in the person behind this.
"Do you like your life now?"
When he asked this, Fang Miao found it a little unbelievable. Could it be that he knew about my previous life?
In fact, the people who come and go in Beimoting every day are all guests from Jeju's upper class circles. Many of them have seen her before. Some people recognized her as Shui Yuntian, but she just didn't admit it.
But, everything has its traces, truth cannot be hidden, and people are afraid of the power behind Bei Moting and dare not cause trouble. Bei Moting has given her a lot of protection.
Seeing that she was puzzled, Helian Heng simply said it more bluntly:
"Do you like your current job? Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant of your own?"
Fang Miao smiled when she heard that.
"Yes, I like my current job very much. I think this is the life I want. Every day is fulfilling and I am respected. I seem to have found the meaning of my existence. I think it's not bad to stay here forever. I can learn a lot of meaningful things, such as how to deal with people. In short, it is a thousand times better than my previous life.
As for opening a restaurant like this, I think it is still too far-fetched for me, and I don’t have the ability to do so.”
Fang Miao spoke with a gentle smile on her lips. She thought of Jiang Sui. She felt that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. She said that she regarded herself as a friend, not a subordinate. In fact, her actions also proved this point. She treated herself equally and with respect, and there was no class mentality.
"Come with me to Kyoto. I'll open a restaurant for you that's even bigger than this one, let you be the female manager, and give you 50% of the profits. I'll pay the money, and you'll do the work. How do you think?"
Helian Heng misunderstood what Fang Miao said. When she said about her lack of ability, she was not referring to money.
"You are joking, sir. I have limited abilities. Even if you give me a restaurant, if I don't have solid skills or signature dishes that can impress the taste buds of customers, then even if it is a big and prosperous restaurant, it will not make money. Besides, I like Bei Mo Ting very much. I have good friends in Jeju. I just want to stay here and not go anywhere else!"
"A very good friend? Male or female?"
When Helian Heng heard this, he felt very sad.
"Of course it's a woman. She is the smartest and most confident woman I have ever met. She taught me a lot."
Hearing that it was a girl, Helian Heng didn't feel so jealous anymore. He touched his nose:
"Really? If there's a chance, could you let me get to know you?"
Fang Miao was embarrassed when she heard this. She leaned towards him, then covered her lips and whispered:
"I'm afraid that won't work. My good sister's husband is a jealous person. If you were a woman, it would be fine, but you are a man. If her husband knew, he would be jealous to death!"
After saying this, Fang Miao couldn't help but laugh out loud. That laughter was joyful and came from the happiness in her heart.
Helian Heng also laughed. Hearing her say that, he felt that life in Jeju was indeed very good for her.
The two of them finished the meal in a quite relaxing manner. Perhaps Helian Heng's persistence in the past half month had paid off, and Fang Miao was no longer so polite and distant to him. The two of them felt like friends when getting along with each other.
After eating, Fang Miao saw him off and bowed to him before getting on the carriage:
"My dear, have a safe journey. I wish you a happy new year in advance!"
Seeing this scene, Helian Heng recalled many scenes from the past. Every time he went on a long journey, she would see him off, just like now, the look in her eyes when she looked at him was full of endless love.
But, I destroyed it with my own hands...
