There was a traitor in Hertz Castle. The lamp that Allen was using to illuminate Liao Qian's portrait fell down. The lamp was of very poor quality. Fortunately, An Ning was standing under the lamp, and Lei Ting protected her so that she was spared from the fall. Luckily, no one was injured, otherwise Liao Qian would have felt sorry for Lei Ting.
Lei Ting and An Ning were dancing on the dance floor when Liao Qian beckoned them over. An Ning was also tired, so she drank a glass of juice and sat down next to Liao Qian with Lei Ting.
Liao Qian: "Thunder seems to have gained weight since he came here a few days ago!"
Thunder: "With Anning by my side, I can eat anything and I'll definitely gain weight quickly."
Liao Qian: "Are you used to Western food? I had someone make you some spicy hot pot."
Lei Ting: "Okay! Haha, An Ning, do you remember how you used to love eating spicy hot pot with me in Fengtian? You would ask me to take you out to satisfy your cravings every few days."
Anning: "I don't remember, I'll try it later!"
Thunder: "Okay, that's good."
Lei Ting stroked An Ning's head and looked ahead. In the dance floor was Lili, whom he had gone to buy flowers to harass that afternoon. Lei Ting showed it to Liao Qian, who glanced at it and looked at Lei Ting with a puzzled expression.
Liao Qian: "What happened to Lili? She's Allen's flower supplier."
Lei Ting: "I went to buy flowers for An Ning this afternoon, and she kept harassing me at the flower shop by the courtyard entrance."
Liao Qian: "That's not surprising. Look at her on the dance floor, anyone who's even slightly aristocratic is her target. She takes pride in pursuing upper-class people. Apart from that, she's not a bad person."
Thunder: "She harassed you and Allen too, didn't she?"
Liao Qian: "No, she's a nice person, she just doesn't know how to express herself."
Allen went to the door to see Guli and Ariel off. It was too late, and Hades needed to go home to sleep before his bedtime. Allen tenderly patted the little guy nestled in Guli's arms. This little guy was going to go through the same rules that he and Guli had followed since they were little.
As expected, Lilizi came over with a wine glass after seeing Leiting talking to Liao Qian. She walked straight to Liao Qian's side, and Liao Qian nodded to her.
Liao Qian: "Lili, thank you so much for your hard work day and night in making the petal portraits for us. Have some fruit."
Liliko: "I'm happy to serve you."
Lili's eyes swept over Anning and Leiting to the side. The two seemed very close. Jenny's idol Anning actually looked like this. She was so lucky. This man was so devoted to her.
Liao Qian: "Lili, don't you have a boyfriend yet?"
Lili: "No, as the saying goes, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, but my veil is like an iron shirt. All the men I've met are impervious to swords and spears."
Liao Qian: "It might be related to your job. Men who buy flowers usually do so to their partners. You usually interact with mostly married men. If you change jobs, maybe your love will come."
Lili: "Maybe! I think it would be great if we baked bread like Ms. Anning."
Lili looked at Anning, who smiled slightly at her. Leiting caught the cherry pit in her mouth for her. Lili never expected that Anning would have it so easily. Allen came over and tried to push Liao Qian away to apply medicine for him. Liao Qian gave Leiting a look, and Leiting told him not to worry and that he wouldn't pay much attention to Lili.
Seeing that Liao Qian had left, Lilizi was left with only Anning and Leiting in the area. Her bracelet was adorned with jasmine flowers. Anning smelled the jasmine and pulled Leiting to the poolside. Lilizi followed and sat down next to them.
An Ning: "Lili, what are you doing following us?"
Liliko: "You know me?"
Anning: "I live in the courtyard. You often go there to deliver flowers, so I've heard a little about you."
Lili: "Being able to live in a courtyard means you're either rich or noble, and being able to have the title of 'Bread King' for half a year is even more extraordinary."
Thunder: "Are you alright?!"
Lili: "I'm no longer interested in you. I just want to learn from Anning. Although my physical attributes are not as good as Miss Anning's, I haven't been able to catch up with you at all through hard work. I think it's very unfair."
Anning pulled Leiting aside. Lilizi meant no harm; she was simply facing a personal emotional hurdle.
Anning: "I think you've witnessed too many happy and romantic moments, and you've become numb, unable to distinguish who belongs to you and who doesn't."
Lili: "I have no happiness or romance of my own. I have been searching for my own happiness and romance, but I have not found it."
Anning and Lilizi clinked glasses. Lilizi looked quite melancholy, and it was rare to see her gaze not lingering on men today; she kept looking at Anning.
Lili: "Isn't that rose portrait beautiful! I'm always happy when I receive a custom order because someone is about to find happiness. But after the happiness comes loneliness. I don't have that kind of happiness."
Anning: "Do you think receiving flowers equates to happiness?"
Lili: "Although I run a flower shop, I still want someone to give me flowers and bring me happiness."
An Ning: "I understand, you want to receive an unexpected surprise."
Liliko: "You could say that."
Anning glanced at Leiting. She had a perfect match in mind, someone who would be a good match for Lili.
Anning: "Thunder recently brought together a couple. I have a friend who I think is a perfect match for you. I wonder if you would like to meet him."
Liliko: "It can't be Jenny, can it? Jenny is single."
An Ning: "Haha, it's not Jenny, it's Chu Chu. Do you know him? He runs the Shuibei Gold Shop in Haozhi Shopping Mall."
Lili: "Him? He wears a little braid, and every few words he talks about are about his works winning awards. I know him, but we're not close."
