Chapter 344 The former emperor gave up being emperor, willing to be her accountant!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan felt even worse. His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I won't hold this against you for my wife's sake, but you'd better get out of here after you finish eating!"
After stepping down as emperor, Xiao Xingyuan had fewer scruples, so he became increasingly direct in his speech and actions, completely disregarding the lives of others, as his inherently harsh personality was indeed his nature.
Meng Yanzhi quickly prepared six side dishes, including two specialties from Canglan Kingdom. She smiled gently and said, "Try them and see if they're authentic."
When he saw the Canglan vegetable, Cang Shui was somewhat surprised and looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "You can cook our local dishes?"
"Yes, I can also make the dishes from the Tatar region. That's our specialty here. You can taste delicacies from all over the world in our restaurant!"
Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, quite pleased with herself as she spoke of these things.
"Didn't you say you wanted the two countries to trade with each other?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be great to use food to open up the country's doors?"
"Food is the most important thing for people."
Meng Yanzhi smiled as she looked at Cang Shui, then at Xiao Xingyuan.
Xiao Xingyuan didn't say anything else, he just focused on eating the food on his plate.
He doesn't want to think about anything else right now; all he wants to do is be a good accountant for Meng Yanzhi.
As for court politics, he didn't even consider them.
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan remain silent, Cang Shui sighed helplessly and then said, "Never mind, I won't say any more to you."
After speaking, he looked directly at Meng Yanzhi.
However, Meng Yanzhi didn't show any particular expression, only giving a cold smile before continuing to eat. Since Xiao Xingyuan didn't want to deal with it, she naturally wouldn't invite trouble for herself.
Zang Shui quickly finished his meal. After thinking for a moment, he smiled at Meng Yanzhi, despite Xiao Xingyuan's murderous glare, and whispered, "I have something to say to Manager Meng, may I?"
“Okay.” Meng Yanzhi nodded, patted Xiao Xingyuan on the shoulder, then got up and walked outside.
Seeing that Xiao Xingyuan's expression was getting increasingly grim, Qingdao immediately said, "Should I go and eavesdrop?"
"Never mind, Rouge will be angry."
Xiao Xingyuan sighed helplessly, looked at Qingdao, and smiled.
He's fearless now, except for the fact that Meng Yanzhi might get angry.
"I really didn't expect you to become a shopkeeper."
"You're really amazing."
Zang Shui looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile, his words revealing his genuine envy.
Meng Yanzhi didn't know if Cang Shui really thought he was amazing or what.
She frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Why did you suddenly say I'm amazing?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to know why you don't like being the empress?"
"Isn't this every woman's dream?"
Zang Shui looked at Meng Yanzhi with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but chuckle softly before saying, "The dreams of all women in the world are not my dreams. I don't want to be an empress; I just want to open a restaurant. That's the life I want!"
"Then how did you manage to make the emperor stop being emperor?" Cang Shui looked at Meng Yanzhi with a puzzled expression.
Meng Yanzhi happened to hear the question, so she smiled at him and said, "Okay, didn't you just say you like me and love me? Well then, let me ask you, if I want you to stay with me and work as the accountant in this restaurant, would you be willing?"
Zang Shui answered almost without hesitation: 'No, I won't!'
Even Zang Shui himself was somewhat surprised by these words.
Meng Yanzhi smiled gently and said, "Yes, that's why I chose Xiao Xingyuan. Only Ayuan truly understands me, truly likes me, and is truly willing to stay with me!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.
Meng Yanzhi waved her hand at him: "Don't look for me again. I don't like you, and I never will!"
Xiao Xingyuan stood at the entrance of the restaurant, silently waiting for Meng Yanzhi to return.
He watched as Meng Yanzhi walked towards him step by step into the light. Seeing the smile on Meng Yanzhi's face, the sour feeling in his heart instantly disappeared.
After Meng Yanzhi walked in, Xiao Xingyuan suddenly hugged her tightly and said with a smile, "Yanzhi, you're back!"
"Are you jealous?" Meng Yanzhi gently patted Xiao Xingyuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "I don't like him!"
"I know, but I'm scared!" Xiao Xingyuan looked at Meng Yanzhi: "I think I should hide you away. You belong to me alone. They all like you too much, it's too much!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but smile softly and then said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter who likes me, I only like you, Xiao Xingyuan, did you hear me? I like you, I only like you!"
"Meng Yanzhi!" Xiao Xingyuan suddenly called out and kissed her. "Me too!"
Aman was already used to this kind of scene. She looked at the two troublesome adults with a helpless expression and said, "When are you two going to stop kissing?"
"Haha, does Aman want a kiss too?" Meng Yanzhi smiled, squatted down, kissed Aman, and said softly, "Aman, do you like your mother more or your father more?"
Upon hearing this, Aman kissed Meng Yanzhi on the cheek and said with a smile, "Of course I love Mother the most!"
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan looking pitiful, she quickly turned around and kissed him again: "But I like Daddy very much too!"
Xiao Xingyuan couldn't help but smile gently, kissed Aman, and said softly, "Aman, Daddy loves you!"
"Xiao Xingyuan, you just drank so much vinegar, shall we go for a walk?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a smile, "Let's take a walk together?"
Xiao Xingyuan took Meng Yanzhi's hand, picked up Aman, and let her sit on his shoulders. The three of them walked out chatting and laughing.
On the second floor, Qingdao watched the backs of the family of three and felt a pang of envy: "Now I finally understand why Madam likes this kind of life. I like it too."
Meng Xin glanced at her and said calmly, "If you want a home, why don't you consider getting married?"
"I'll consider it..." Qingdao snorted, "Why should I consider marriage? Isn't it good enough for me to be alone?"
