Chapter 554: Daughter Reborn (9)
Cui Shichu had just locked the door of the bun shop when he heard a panting voice behind him: "Comrade! Are the buns sold out? Alas, I'm late again..."
Cui Shichu turned his head and saw a man wearing glasses and holding a briefcase. He looked to be in his thirties. He had probably just run over and there was sweat on his forehead.
"That's really unfortunate. Come earlier next time." Cui Shichu said to him with a smile.
When the man saw her smiling face, his face suddenly turned red and he stammered, "I, I will definitely come earlier next time..."
Cui Shichu didn't say anything else. She nodded at him, then turned and left to go to the newly opened restaurant in the city center. When she finished selling the buns, it was lunch time, so she could go and try the food in the new restaurant. If it was good, she would bring Zhou Zhiyuan here to have a bite on the weekend.
Wang Zhennan looked at her back, and somehow, he didn't even go to the office. He quietly followed Cui Shichu and went to the newly opened restaurant with her.
After Cui Shichu entered, he ordered several dishes without hesitation. After tasting them, he felt that the chef of this restaurant was very good, so he made this place one of his long-term dining places in the future.
After Wang Zhennan urged Cui Shichu to come into the restaurant, he also sat down at two tables behind her and observed Cui Shichu while eating.
How could Cui Shichu not notice his passionate gaze? However, there was no malice in the man's eyes, so she did not deal with it for the time being and focused on tasting the food here.
Wang Zhennan didn't know that he had been discovered by Cui Shichu, and he was still staring at her intently. He didn't know why, but when he saw Cui Shichu, his heart beat especially happily, and his eyes always followed her figure involuntarily.
He felt like a lecher who had actually done something as ridiculous as following a woman. However, he knew it was inappropriate but he could not control his legs.
After lunch, Cui Shichu came out of the restaurant and walked across a street. When he reached a less busy alley, Cui Shichu suddenly stopped, turned around, crossed his arms, squinted his eyes and said to the man following him: "You followed me from the steamed bun shop to the restaurant, and when I came out of the restaurant after dinner, you still followed me. What on earth do you want to do?"
Wang Zhennan blushed immediately. His behavior was exposed by the person involved, and he was very embarrassed. However, he was still a man who dared to take responsibility for his actions, so he said with a red face: "I, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to see more of you and get to know you better."
"Is there no other meaning to this? Do you want to be a hooligan?" Cui Shichu said unhappily.
"No, no, I don't mean to be a hooligan!" Wang Zhennan quickly waved his hands to explain. He closed his eyes and finally, as if he had given up, he said to Cui Shichu: "I think I like you. What do you think of me?"
Cui Shichu was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out when he heard what he said. Are men these days so direct? Seeing someone on the street, he directly asked if they liked him too? Even in the future, this behavior would be considered bold, right? It would be easy to get slapped in the face.
However, Cui Shichu had a strong heart and was naturally not frightened by his directness, so she was only surprised for a while at first, but she quickly reacted. She looked Wang Zhennan up and down and said to him, "Are you so casual? You just go up to a woman you see on the street and confess your love to her? You don't even care if she is married or has children? What if the person you confessed to already has a family and children? Do you still want to destroy her family?"
Wang Zhennan quickly explained: "I don't confess my feelings to just anyone I like. I know you are the owner of a steamed bun shop, your husband died early, and you only have two children. I have heard about your situation from others before I dare to ask you so directly. Please don't misunderstand me, and don't be angry..."
After saying that, he looked at Cui Shichu nervously, as if he was really afraid that she would misunderstand him as a casual man.
"Do you often buy buns from my shop?" Cui Shichu asked. Her attitude towards her old customers was much better.
"Yes, yes, the buns in your house are delicious, I like them very much. But they are so popular that I often can't buy them." Wang Zhennan said with a look of regret on his face.
Cui Shichu understood immediately: "So you are attracted by my skill of making steamed buns. I am really sorry, but I have no intention of marrying someone else to serve a large family. If you like my cooking skills, you can go to my shop to buy them. If you want to find a wife with good cooking skills, you can look for other women."
Another cunning man who wanted to get a free nanny and cook in the name of marrying a wife. Cui Shichu snorted coldly and ignored Wang Zhennan.
"No, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood me!" Wang Zhennan saw that her face had turned cold and hurried to explain, but Cui Shichu ignored him and quickly pushed him away, leaving him alone, slapping his head in annoyance.
Cui Shichu quickly put Wang Zhennan out of her mind. She was not a naive and kind woman. Now that she had a child in this life, she would be stupid to want to get married again and go to a man's home to serve his whole family.
She is now a single mother, her children are almost adults, and she runs a small shop. She is so happy that she has never thought about remarrying.
The original owner was able to give birth to a daughter like Zhou Lizhi, who was known as the beauty of the machinery factory. Naturally, she was also beautiful. Moreover, the original owner got married early and gave birth to Zhou Lizhi when she was less than 18 years old. Now she is only 38 years old.
Thirty-eight is the age when a woman reaches maturity and charm. With good genes and good maintenance, she looks no different from someone in her twenties.
During the past six months since Cui Shichu became the original owner, he has naturally kept his figure and appearance in the best condition. In addition, he quit his hard job in the machinery factory and now only runs a bun shop and works only three or four hours a day. He has more leisure time. With money and free time, his mental state is naturally better, so Cui Shichu is really getting more and more handsome now.
Even the customers who come to the store to buy buns say that she is the most beautiful bun shop owner. Some even say she is the bun beauty. When neighbors and former colleagues see her, they often say that she looks younger and younger.
Even because she is young and beautiful now, and has started a small business, even the matchmakers who had not come to her house in the early years came and wanted to introduce men to her, but of course Cui Shichu rejected her without hesitation.
Those men fell in love with her, wasn't it because of her benefits, beauty, and sexiness? Seeing that she had regained her youthful beauty, her steamed bun shop was doing well, and she could make money, wouldn't they be tempted to take her, this cash cow, home?
