Fortunately, Qi Guze was indeed a gentleman and did not do anything out of line to her. On the second day, Xu Yuehuai opened her eyes and saw Qi Guze.
Qi Guze changed into a set of clothes he had prepared himself. The clothes were nothing special, but he managed to make them look like something out of a noble family.
This made Xu Yuehuai realize that Qi Guze was a true good-for-nothing.
Xu Yuehuai quickly realized what was happening. She jumped up and, noticing her disheveled clothes, hurriedly signaled to Qi Guze not to peek.
"Go ahead and leave. Aren't you busy today?"
Hasn't he been incredibly busy lately?
What's going on? I'm not busy at all today.
Qi Guze smiled, "There's nothing much going on today, I'll rest."
"But we're busy, Your Highness. Please leave quickly, or you could excuse me while I get dressed." Xu Yuehuai was about to stammer incoherently. If someone saw this, if Zhou Wan and San Niang found out, how could she explain herself?
Seeing Xu Yuehuai's flustered state, Qi Guze smiled faintly, quickly turned around, and left.
Seeing Qi Guze leave, Xu Yuehuai finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly started getting dressed.
While getting dressed, Zhou Wan, feeling refreshed, went upstairs. With the new store opening, as one of the managers, Zhou Wan naturally had to check around. It was a routine inspection, but also a way of looking around to see if anyone needed breakfast or anything like that.
As a result, they saw Qi Guze as soon as they arrived at the first room of the top-tier tier.
He remained as handsome and refined as ever, but his clothes had changed. Zhou Wan hurriedly bowed when she saw Qi Guze.
Qi Guze nodded his chin. "Get up."
Zhou Wan asked, "What would Your Highness like to eat? Now that our shop is up and running, we would appreciate your valuable feedback."
"I know," Qi Guze pointed inside, "Are you looking for A-Yue? A-Yue hasn't gotten up yet."
"Who said I didn't get up?"
Xu Yuehuai buttoned her clothes as she opened the door.
But then they saw that Third Sister had also come up from below.
This morning was arguably the day Xu Yuehuai most wanted to erase from her memory this month, but there was nothing she could do. Everything that was meant to be seen had been seen, and everything that was meant to be misunderstood had been misunderstood.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Third Sister laughed, "It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat ride, and a hundred years to share a pillow, hahaha."
Xu Yuehuai became anxious, her face turning red and her neck thickening. "Let me explain, it's not what you think."
"What am I thinking? I think love is more valuable. Your Highness will have to prepare the betrothal gifts tomorrow, hahaha." Third Sister laughed heartily and left, dressed in her finest attire.
Three women faced immense difficulties doing business in the capital.
San Niang also wished that Xu Yuehuai could find such a shoulder to lean on.
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were in love, she was naturally overjoyed.
As for Zhou Wan, she had already warmly invited the two of them downstairs. Seeing this… Xu Yuehua pinched Qi Guze, “Why don’t you explain yourself?”
Qi Guze sighed, "How can this be explained? Explaining is just covering up, so why bother?"
Xu Yuehuai fell silent.
How is this any different from the wedding night?
The lobby was packed with people.
She thought her family had already made quite a name for themselves by creating a variety of cuisines and dishes, but now, looking at the situation, she realized that the food was truly in short supply. You liked this, I liked that.
Xu Yuehuai plans to divide the first floor in the center, with a Western restaurant on one side and a Chinese restaurant on the other.
Western cuisine has a later history than Chinese cuisine. It lacks the grandeur of hot pot and the unrestrained spirit of skewers. It simply involves preparation and processing with a greater variety of seasonings.
However, in this era, many hotels have already perfected their Chinese cuisine.
As for Western food, it was still an unknown territory. Xu Yuehuai was still pondering it when Qi Guze approached and said, "Your business is really good."
"I'm honest and fair, and my dishes are suitable for all ages. They're also much cheaper than similar hotels. Besides, I'm having a grand opening sale, so naturally there are a lot of people."
Xu Yuehuai saw a seat next to her and pointed to it.
"Sit down quickly, let's have some food too. When His Highness returns, I'll be busy too." Seeing that the hotel business was so good, Xu Yuehuai, one of the managers, naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
In fact, San Niang and Zhou Wan were already extremely busy and were almost overwhelmed.
This made everyone realize that they needed to recruit a group of young workers immediately.
Never mind, we'll discuss this again tonight.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze sat down, and the waiter brought over some food.
She casually ate a couple of bites, not daring to eat more. What was most terrifying was that their business was unbelievably good; before the two of them had even finished eating, a long line had already formed outside.
Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai knew it was no longer appropriate to linger.
She quickly got up and said, "I'm busy now. I'll have someone wash your clothes. You should go home too."
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai was indeed busy, Qi Guze didn't want to linger any longer, so he paid the bill and left.
Before lunch, she finally had a break. Third Sister was exhausted. "I've never been this busy before. I never thought I could earn so much money. I'm so tired."
Seeing San Niang complaining, Zhou Wan smiled and grabbed her hand, "It's good if our business is good. Even if we're tired, we're happy. If there's no business, that would be terrible."
"That's right."
Third Sister looked at Xu Yuehuai.
"By the way, last night you..." Third Sister's eyes lit up. She had just said she was exhausted, but now she was all smiles. "Did you...?"
Seeing that Third Sister was about to say something unpleasant, Xu Yuehuai quickly said decisively, "What are you talking about? The Prince was drunk, and I was just taking him to rest. That's all."
That's definitely true.
But Qi Guze, the more cryptic and refusing to explain, the stranger things seemed.
Zhou Wan smiled gently, "Your Highness is very good and knows how to care for people, but men in the capital are fond of having multiple wives and concubines, and I'm worried about Mother..."
“Yes,” Xu Yuehuai declared, “I also hope to be with one person for life. Besides, it’s always been said that once you enter the gates of a noble family, it’s like entering a deep sea. I can’t be someone’s concubine. It would be so bad to be bullied for the rest of my life.”
"What kind of talk is this?"
San Niang laughed, "My husband has loved only me from beginning to end, and his love is unwavering. No matter where he is in the capital or elsewhere, a good man is always a good man, isn't he?"
The two were convinced by this argument and nodded in agreement.
In fact, Xu Yuehuai wanted to have a chat with Zhou Wan. She had clearly heard that the two people in the house yesterday evening were Zhou Wan and Tie Xiong.
One seemingly rejects the other with heartlessness, while the other relentlessly pursues the matter without complaint.
Xu Yuehuai looked at Zhou Wan.
In her memory, Zhou Wan had always been the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
