"Ahem." Li Yuehuan coughed lightly. "Actually, my second sister-in-law is quite nice. She's become much prettier now."
After saying that, afraid they wouldn't believe him, he kept nodding, "It's true."
"I'll introduce you to him next time I have the chance."
Ma Lu saw right through her, "You're sure you meant your second sister-in-law and not your eldest sister-in-law? This dress doesn't look cheap, how could she bear to buy it for you?"
Didn't Huanhuan say that her second sister-in-law was very stingy?
"Maybe he's trying to please me. In any case, I'm my second brother's only sister."
In her last sentence, Li Yuehuan was somewhat proud; her two older brothers were both so outstanding that she was able to live such a carefree and happy life.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Yuehuan went in first, saying, "Let's go in and have a look around."
Qin Zhen and Ma Lu exchanged glances, no longer dwelling on the previous topic, but still harboring doubts about Huanhuan's words.
The supply and marketing cooperative is not as deserted as it is on weekends, since most city dwellers are dual-income households and come to shop during the weekend.
The three of them wandered around inside. Li Yuehuan had quite a few things in her hands, while Qin Zhen and her husband's family were not so well-off and only dared to buy one or two things.
After paying the bill, Li Yuehuan was about to suggest treating everyone to dinner, as she was always generous to her friends, when she spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
Isn't that Brother Shaokai? He's accompanied by a glamorous woman.
I recall that my second brother mentioned yesterday that Brother Shaokai had returned to Huaicheng.
Li Yuehuan immediately laughed. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Brother Shaokai for a long time.
"Zhenzhen, Lulu, I have something to do. You two go back first. I'll treat you to a meal next time to make up for it."
After all, it was I who invited them out.
"Okay, I happen to have something to do at home too."
Qin Zhen wanted to say something more, but Ma Lu grabbed her wrist.
Li Yuehuan turned a corner, ran to the coffee shop across the street, and quietly came up behind Shao Kai, intending to give him a surprise.
He patted him on the shoulder and said in a mischievous tone, "Hey, Brother Shaokai."
Gu Shaokai remained calm and composed, but the woman beside him was terrified, her face turning deathly pale. She already had powder on her face, and now she looked as white as a ghost.
Unable to contain herself any longer and reveal her true nature in front of the man, she turned around and launched into a tirade of insults at Li Yuehuan, "You little brat, who do you think you are, daring to scare me?"
"I, I..."
Even though Li Yuehuan was a bit slow on the uptake, she realized she had probably messed up and was momentarily at a loss for what to do after being confronted.
Seeing Huanhuan's reaction, Gu Shaokai's eyes flashed with a cold light. He pulled her behind him and blocked the woman's outstretched hand.
What are you going to do?
His voice carried a chilling sense of oppression, and his eyes were like the surface of a frozen lake, seemingly able to see into the secrets of people's hearts.
The woman was startled, as if an invisible hand had gripped her throat.
Under the man's deep, sharp gaze, she forced a coy and affected manner, "Brother Shaokai, didn't you see that she was the one who scared me?"
"They were all frightened, don't you feel sorry for them?"
Hiding behind her, Li Yuehuan stuck out her tongue. Hearing such cheesy words, she immediately got goosebumps on her arms.
Gu Shaokai remained unmoved, forcefully pulling the woman's hand away and saying fiercely to her, "Get out, and don't ever appear in front of me again."
He had only briefly visited a brothel when this woman, drawn by his scent, clung to him like a leech. Since he was bored these past few days, he figured it wouldn't hurt to use her to relieve his boredom.
But she shouldn't have treated Huanhuan so cruelly, using this as an excuse to kick her away. After all, he was generous to women and had spent a lot of money on her.
The woman rubbed her wrist, which had been pinched so hard. Hearing the man's heartless words, she didn't dare to make a scene and could only slink away.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, and after several days of careful observation, she discovered that this man was no ordinary person and owned several properties; she couldn't afford to offend him.
After the woman left, Li Yuehuan whispered, her voice as soft as a quail, "Brother Shao Kai, did I ruin your plans?"
Gu Shaokai turned around and looked at Huanhuan, who had her head down, and asked with concern, "Huanhuan, were you scared?"
The little head in front of me shook its head.
"Brother Shao Kai should thank you. I was just wondering how to get rid of her."
Even after some time apart, this girl is still as reckless as ever.
He gently flicked her forehead, "You're so old, yet you still act like a child."
Li Yuehuan subconsciously covered her forehead, grinning, "Brother Shao Kai, I was just too excited to see you!"
When did you get back?
From childhood to adulthood, Shao Kaige has taken care of her like an older brother, so you can imagine how happy she was to see him return.
"No rush, let's go sit over there and chat."
Gu Shaokai pointed to a corner seat by the window, then instructed the front desk manager, "Bring over two cups of coffee later, one plain and the other with milk and sugar, and also some dessert."
"Okay, boss."
The man at the front desk, dressed in a black suit and probably in his thirties, respectfully agreed.
Standing to the side, Li Yuehuan showed a hint of surprise in her eyes. It turned out that Brother Shao Kai was the owner of this coffee shop.
No wonder this coffee shop didn't seem to exist when she visited the supply and marketing cooperative before.
After sitting down, Li Yuehuan looked around at the environment. It was indeed newly renovated, and all the facilities were top-notch. No wonder it was the generous Brother Shao Kai.
At this point, the waiter brought the food over, gently placed it down, said "Please enjoy your meal," and left.
Gu Shaokai stirred the coffee in his cup, then handed it to Huanhuan and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
"How does the coffee taste?"
Li Yuehuan then turned her head, swallowed hard, and asked, "Brother Shao Kai, are you really the owner here?"
"Um."
Gu Shaokai took a sip of his bitter coffee, his expression remaining unchanged. "If you want coffee in the future, just come over. I'll talk to the manager later."
Li Yuehuan picked up her coffee, took a small sip, and her eyes lit up. "It tastes amazing!"
Then he gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Shaokai, you're really amazing."
"Don't just focus on drinking coffee, try this dessert too."
Watching Huanhuan eat always gives me an appetite.
Gu Shaokai also picked up a spoon and ate his dessert. "How's your studies going lately?"
Li Yuehuan paused in her chewing, her cheeks puffed out, and her speech became slurred.
"Brother Shaokai, we finally get together... can we not talk about studying?"
Hearing Huanhuan's anxious tone, Gu Shaokai teased, "What? Still at the bottom of the class?"
Li Yuehuan immediately became dissatisfied, swallowed the cake in her mouth, and said angrily, "No way, I've improved a lot, I can be ranked in the middle now."
She was at the bottom of the class back in her first year of high school, and Shao Kai still brings it up. How embarrassing for her!
