Chapter 330 Release
Qin Huiyin and Tang Yichen strolled around the night market, savoring the flavors of their hometown.
Although Qin Huiyin is also in the food business, she still tastes the snacks from these stalls every time she goes to the night market. Perhaps these snacks are not delicious, but in Qin Huiyin's view, these are the real local characteristics. For modern people, these are lost treasures that should be cherished and respected.
Tang Yichen was used to the delicious food made by Qin Huiyin, so he wasn't very interested in the food on the stall. However, seeing that Qin Huiyin liked it, he would try a bite of each.
"What? Don't run." A follower was running on the street after a cat. "Make way for the cat in front. Don't step on it. It's worth a hundred gold coins!"
When the people who were shopping heard this, they turned around and saw the snow-like kitten running towards them, they quickly got out of the way to avoid accidentally losing their money.
Tang Yichen saw the cat running towards them and blocked Qin Huiyin behind him.
Strangely enough, the cat stopped right in front of Qin Huiyin, and when it tried to get closer, it was driven away by Tang Yichen.
The cat couldn't get close to Qin Huiyin and meowed in grievance.
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Brother, it's okay. Look how well behaved it is. It can't hurt anyone."
"The kitten's claws are sharp. If it accidentally scratches you, you will have to take bitter medicine." While Tang Yichen was speaking, his followers had already caught up.
The attendant picked up the kitten and bowed and greeted Qin Huiyin when he saw her.
"You are the follower of Young Master Li, right?" Qin Huiyin asked, "Is this your Young Master's cat?"
The attendant said, "That's right. We were just about to set off when it ran out. It's really disobedient."
"This cat is really nice. Your young master has such a refined taste." Qin Huiyin seldom saw this kind of pet cat. Seeing that it was well-behaved, she reached out and touched its fur.
"It was originally given to Miss Xia, but Miss Xia didn't like it, so the young master took it back and raised it himself." The attendant was obviously standing up for his young master and spoke in a dissatisfied tone.
Qin Huiyin heard something wrong: "Sister Xia shouldn't refuse such a beautiful kitten. As far as I know, she likes kittens and puppies very much. This cat is a rare breed, and she will be even happier to receive such a gift. Did your young master give it to Sister Xia personally?"
If it was delivered personally, given Xia Ruwan's personality, she would not refuse his favor in person as she owed Li Congxiao.
"That's not the case." The attendant answered honestly, "The young master has a strange temper. He was worried that Miss Xia would not accept the cat, so he put it outside her boudoir door."
"That's it. She doesn't know where the ownerless thing came from, so how could she dare to take it? Your young master is really interesting. He quarrels with Sister Xia on weekdays. They have been fighting for a year or two. Why are they so awkward now?"
"Even if Boss Xia doesn't dare to accept it, or doesn't like it, she shouldn't give it to her fiancé."
"Is there any misunderstanding here?" Qin Huiyin was talking when she saw Li Congxiao walking towards her from the opposite side.
Li Congxiao scolded him, "I asked you to catch a cat and run across several streets. Can this cat run so fast? You are still following me to do business like this. I think you should go back to feed your baby as soon as possible."
When he saw Qin Huiyin and Tang Yichen, he cupped his hands and greeted them with a smile: "Boss Qin, Brother Tang, why don't we meet by chance and have a few drinks together?"
"I heard that you are leaving the city. Your leg injury hasn't healed yet. Are you leaving too hastily?" Qin Huiyin said.
"I have a lot of business to do, so I dare not delay. My leg injury is not a problem. I won't ride a horse, I'll just take a car. I'm just about to leave, so I'd like to ask you two to have a few drinks as a farewell."
"You're injured, so don't drink. Drink tea instead!" Tang Yichen pointed to a teahouse not far away. "It's not far ahead. It's a good opportunity for us to take a break."
"My brother rarely goes shopping with me. I've dragged him along for an hour and a half and he's already tired. He just wants to be lazy." Qin Huiyin joked.
Tang Yichen smiled helplessly: "That's right, this little girl looks weak, but her footwork is much better than us men."
"For women, it's common to go shopping for two or three hours. Don't be surprised, Brother Tang. When you have a wife, you will know that shopping with your sister is much better than shopping with your wife."
Several people went to the teahouse and chose a seat by the window where they could see the night view of the river. After the tea artist came up to pour the tea, Qin Huiyin reached out to the attendant next to her and asked him to give her the cat.
Tang Yichen kept staring at the cat, making the cat feel a sense of crisis and its fur stood up.
"I really like this cat. Why don't you give it to me to raise?" Qin Huiyin looked at Li Congxiao with a smile.
Li Congxiao smiled and said, "I have raised this cat for a few days, and I am reluctant to part with it. But I still have 19 cats. You can pick one at random as a gift to your friends."
"Just now I heard from your followers that such a cat is worth a hundred gold coins. I dare not accept such an expensive gift. The reason why I want to keep this cat is that I heard the followers calling its name, something like Xiami, which reminded me of Sister Xia. I think it is destined to be with Sister Xia, so I want to give it to her to cheer her up!"
Li Congxiao said calmly, "Then it would be better for Mr. Qin to give her something else to entertain her. I've already given her this cat once, but she didn't like it, so there's no need to give it to her again."
"Based on my understanding of Sister Xia, this cat is exactly what she likes, so there's no reason for her not to like it. How did you give it to her? Did you give it to her in person?"
Li Congxiao pursed his lips.
"I think gifts should be delivered in person to show sincerity. Otherwise, the recipient will be very upset because the cat came out of nowhere." Qin Huiyin said in a joking tone, "For example, if my brother gave me something, even if it was just a blade of grass, I would think it was the best. But he put the grass in front of my window, and I didn't know what it was. I just threw it away and who knows who would pick it up."
Li Congxiao stood up, bowed to Qin Huiyin and said, "Boss Qin, this tea can only be drunk another day. I have other things to deal with today, so I'll excuse myself first."
"We are in a cooperative relationship now. We will have plenty of time to sit down and drink tea in the future. There is no need to rush. Just go and do whatever Master Li wants to do!"
After Li Congxiao left, Tang Yichen said, "I heard that this Young Master Li is engaged to the Rong family. Now he is sending a cat to the Xia family. Isn't that a bit bad?"
"I know I shouldn't get involved, but he obviously has feelings for Sister Xia. If I keep those words to myself, I'm sure it will become a regret in the future. No matter what his decision is, at least don't let yourself have any regrets."
"You are so young, but you speak so maturely." Tang Yichen drank his tea. "Today's night view is really nice. There is a river running through the capital. There is a very gorgeous building across the river. Someone once hosted a banquet there for all the students who passed the imperial examination. I have been there. It is extremely gorgeous, but it makes me feel empty. Even the scenery is cold."
