Just two minutes after seven o'clock, the door of the box was pushed open by the waiter. Along with an elegant sweet fragrance, Li Shiman, wearing a V-neck white dress, appeared at the door of the box with a bright smile.

Shen Mingzhu immediately stood up to greet her, "Fourth Madam..."

"Don't be so formal, just call me Shiman like before."

Just as Shen Mingzhu was about to agree, she was embraced by the other party in the next second.

The soft and delicate touch and the unfamiliar sweet fragrance made Shen Mingzhu feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Li Shiman's enthusiasm took her by surprise.

Fortunately, the other party quickly let go of her and held her hand instead.

"I'm late. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Judging from her looks and temperament, Lai Shi Man is gentle and pure. She has a kind of fragility and simplicity that is ignorant of the world, like a little white flower that is easily bullied. But in fact, from the moment they met to the first opening remarks, she has an irresistible strong aura.

She is worthy of being the woman beside the boss.

“It’s been a long wait.”

Hearing Shen Mingzhu's answer, Li Shiman was stunned. Before she could lament that Shen Mingzhu couldn't speak and didn't understand the ways of the world, she was amused by Shen Mingzhu's next words.

"I have waited for more than three years for this reunion."

"Well, it's my fault. I should have picked you up earlier."

"It doesn't matter. Beautiful women are always worthy of forgiveness."

A few simple words of conversation made Li Shiman laugh so hard that she was shaking with laughter. "It's always fun to talk to you. I wish you could stay in Australia City."

Seeing his wife about to be abducted, Pei Yang immediately stepped forward to make his presence known, "Hello, Madam Four, I am Pei Yang, thank you very much for rescuing my uncle last time."

Li Shiman smiled politely at Pei Yang, "It's just a small matter, don't mention it."

Shen Mingzhu took the opportunity to say, "Let's sit down and talk."

"OK."

The hotel was luxurious beyond imagination. Not only was the private room twice as big as an ordinary one, but the dining table was also huge. Three people sat in a triangle, occupying only a quarter of the table.

When the waiter asked whether the dishes were ready, Shen Mingzhu gestured for him to report the dishes first.

After the waiter finished her announcement, she asked Li Shiman if she needed more food.

After getting Li Shiman's denial, Shen Mingzhu signaled the waiter to start serving the dishes.

"You are quite attentive."

After the waiter left, Li Shiman held her cheek and said to Shen Mingzhu with a smile.

Shen Mingzhu explained, "I work in the catering business, so I pay more attention to this aspect to avoid offending the guests."

Li Shiman smiled and said, "When I have time to visit you, I will definitely try the food in your restaurant. I think I will not be disappointed."

"You are most welcome."

Although this was the second time the two met, they were like old friends, chatting about children, work, their lives and hobbies, and they got along very well.

In fact, over the past three years, the two have kept in touch, greeting each other, sending each other gifts, and even sharing their lives and troubles.

Rather than being friends, the two are more like netizens and pen pals.

After dinner, Shen Mingzhu took out a gift for Li Shiman.

"This is Longjing before the Qingming Festival. Green tea is rich in tea polyphenols. It can refresh you and relieve anxiety and stress. If you are tired of coffee, you can try this to change your taste."

In a place like Aocheng, there are not many people who drink tea, and most of them drink black tea. Top-quality green tea like Mingqian Longjing is relatively novel.

Li Shiman immediately opened a can and asked the waiter to make three cups for him to try.

While the waiter was making tea, Shen Mingzhu continued to show other gifts.

There are porcelain from Jingdezhen, cheongsams made of Shu brocade, small ornaments with double-sided embroidery, etc., all of which are national quintessence gifts with cultural communication, and Li Shiman loves each one of them.

The brewed Longjing tea was delivered quickly, and the room was filled with the fragrance of tea, just like the green grass with crystal dewdrops in the morning sun, fresh, elegant and charming.

While tasting Longjing tea, Li Shiman asked Shen Mingzhu about tomorrow's plans. When she learned that Shen Mingzhu wanted to wander around the city, she volunteered to be their guide.

It was already eleven o'clock when we got back to the hotel.

When entering the room, Pei Yang knocked on the door of the next room. There was no sound, and it was obvious that Zhou Shuhuan and Qiao Ya had not returned yet.

It was not until twelve o'clock when Shen Mingzhu had already laid down on the bed and was ready to sleep that Zhou Shuhuan and Qiao Ya came back.

The two bought a lot of midnight snacks and asked the two to come over to eat.

Shen Mingzhu had already eaten a full dinner and didn't have the habit of eating midnight snacks, so she asked Pei Yang to come over to eat while she continued to sleep.

Less than five minutes after she slept, Qiao Ya came and knocked on the door, carrying a bunch of food and insisting on bringing it to her.

Shen Mingzhu had no choice but to change her clothes and go next door to eat.

When he looked over, wow! Crispy suckling pig, baked Portuguese chicken, pan-fried prawns, crab with ginger and scallion, chicken wings in thick soup, fried crab roe in typhoon shelter, crab porridge and various small seafood. The whole room was filled with the aroma of meat, and Shen Mingzhu, who was not hungry at first, was tempted to eat.

"Sister-in-law, did you have dinner with the Fourth Madam tonight? Did everything go well?"

"Yeah." Shen Mingzhu didn't want to talk about Li Shiman, so she changed the subject and asked, "Did you get rich tonight? Why did you buy so many delicious foods?"

Qiao Ya smiled and gave her a piece of roast pork. "Brother Zhou was lucky. He won nearly 200,000 yuan."

Pei Yang looked at Zhou Shuhuan in shock, "You are amazing! You made a fortune but kept quiet."

Zhou Shuhuan picked up his beer and clinked it with his. "It was pure luck."

Pei Yang took a sip of wine and said, "You can't say that. Luck is also a part of strength, right, wife?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and nodded, "Your trip was not in vain. You can go shopping tomorrow and buy some good things."

Qiao Ya took over the conversation, "Sister-in-law, please go with me tomorrow. I want to buy a bag. Brother Zhou doesn't know anything, so it's boring to go shopping with him."

"We have plans during the day, you and Brother Zhou go play, and we'll find a place to eat together in the evening."

Qiao Ya was curious, "Where are you going?"

"I made an appointment with a friend."

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was unwilling to elaborate, Qiao Ya smiled with an ambiguous tone, "Sister-in-law, you have quite a lot of friends here."

Shen Mingzhu didn't respond, but turned to Pei Yang and said, "Why don't you not come with me tomorrow and go visit some of your uncle's friends."

Pei Yang nodded in agreement.

This time, Peiktor and his companion brought some things to some old friends in Australia City.

After eating and drinking, Shen Mingzhu helped clean up the place before going back to the next room with Pei Yang.

As soon as the two left, Qiao Ya started to get angry again.

"What does she mean? Is it because I am trying to please her? I don't know what she is talking about!" (End of this chapter)
