So, he’d play it safe.

But with Wang Yushan backing him up, that was another story. At least he wouldn’t have to take the responsibility himself.

Xuu’s office was upstairs, not in the regular activity area of the mall.

Cheng Zhu glanced at Wu Yuzhou, feeling inexplicably nervous.

At first, he just thought Cheng Zhu was a scheming asshole, but after learning he was the owner of Youu Come to Play, he immediately recognized his competence.

A top-class old coin?

Keep your distance, keep your distance.

“I guess it’s not convenient for me to join your business talk, then. I’ll head back to the shop first,” Wu Yuzhou said.

After everyone had left, Wu Yuzhou went to the restroom to relieve himself.

For some reason, while he was there, he kept sniffing and sniffing, taking deep breaths, trying very hard to distinguish the smells in the bathroom.

If it hadn’t been inappropriate to go into the ladies’ room, he would have even preferred to sniff there.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zhu secured the store.

According to Star City’s contract, he personally had no right to sublease the store during the lease period.

If he did have any ideas, he’d need the cooperation of the mall side.

He was indifferent to this, as he didn’t believe he’d lose enough to need to sublease.

After settling things, Wang Yushan said to Shen Qingning, “I have other things to take care of, so I’ll head back first. Ningning, are you coming with me, or do you want to chat with Little Cheng for a while?”

Shen Qingning certainly wanted to stay with Cheng Zhu for a while, but wouldn’t act on it. She was just about to say she’d go back together, when she heard Cheng Zhu speak.

“Let’s chat for a bit. You’ve helped me out so much, I should at least treat you to a meal,” he boldly asked her out right in front of her stepmother, fearless!

The proud girl glanced at him, then at her young stepmother. She wanted to refuse again, but ended up saying, “Well… Auntie, I won’t go back with you then.”

However, he said he’d treat Shen Qingning to dinner, but it wasn’t even four o’clock yet, a good while before mealtime.

“How about we find a place to sit for now? Let’s go to Starbucks on the first floor. I really want to think about how to plan the milk tea shop,” Cheng Zhu suggested.

“Okay,” Shen Qingning nodded.

After sitting down in Starbucks, Cheng Zhu ordered two cups of coffee.

Both of them were drinking iced Americanos.

Back in 2014, the Chinese acceptance of coffee wasn’t as high as it became later.

Especially in smaller and medium-sized cities.

People might also prefer drinking milk tea over coffee.

As for iced Americanos, many found them even harder to swallow than Chinese medicine.

But some regarded it as vital, even talking about ‘Americanos for life.’

Right after Cheng Zhu got the coffee and sat down, his phone began to vibrate continuously with someone sending a WeChat video call.

In his past life, he would have been annoyed by someone suddenly video calling him.

Most of the time, it just wouldn’t be convenient…

But at this moment, he had a good guess who it was.

Sure enough, it was his mother Xu Yun’s WeChat video request, but he suspected it was his little princess holding the phone.

“It should be my sister,” Cheng Zhu looked up and said to Shen Qingning who was sitting across from him.

Once connected, indeed, he saw Little Youzi’s round chubby face.

“Brother, it’s me!” she first said in a cheerful, milky voice.

Xu Yun, beside her, helplessly said, “I bought her a candied haw stick, and she insists it’s delicious and wants to save one for you. She won’t listen to me, so please talk to her.”

“Ah, you’re having candied haws?” Cheng Zhu smiled.

“Yes, super delicious! Sweet and tangy, absolutely yummy!”

“Then just eat them all, no need to save any for me.”

“Candied haws can’t go on a plane?” The little traveler from another province was puzzled.

“That’s not it,” Cheng Zhu glanced at Shen Qingning and deliberately said, “Guess who I’m with right now.”

Shen Qingning tensed up upon hearing this.

What are you doing bringing this up all of a sudden! Your mom is right there!

She wouldn’t react like this if it was just chatting with Little You.

The problem was Xu Yun was there too!

It was strange; although she had visited Yunlai Restaurant before and met Cheng Zhu’s mother without feeling nervous,

now, just by video call, she was panicked.

It was rare for someone of her strong character to feel this way.

“Who are you with?” Little You thought for a moment and was about to blurt out Sister Lu’s name.

But Cheng Zhu beat her to the punch: “It’s your Ningning Sister who you haven’t seen for a long time. Do you miss her?”

“Ningning Sister?” Cheng Youu immediately urged Cheng Zhu excitedly, “Turn the phone, brother, turn the camera, I want to see Sister Ningning!”

For some reason, Shen Qingning felt her heart melt hearing the child’s words.

Previously, she knew that Little You had asked Lin Lu to catch dolls together, and she had quite a bit of emotional reaction, no?

But now it seemed that while Cheng You may indeed like Lin Lu more, she, at the very least, didn’t dislike her.

Taking a deep breath, she forced her nervousness down and said calmly to Cheng Zhu, “Give me the phone.”

After taking the phone, she greeted Cheng You with a smile, “Little Youzi.”

Afterward, not forgetting to add, “Good afternoon, Auntie.”

Cheng Zhu observed her carefully, noticing she was adjusting the phone angle, clearly wanting to look her best in the video.

He couldn’t help feeling that Ning Bao had a bit of subtle charm.

It was a contrasting kind of cute.

—Contrast Girl sure is fun.

Though Cheng Zhu wasn’t in frame, he said, “So you’ll give the candied haw to Ningning Sister?”

“Yes!”

“Then I won’t have any. You eat it yourself; otherwise, we can’t split it fairly!”

“You could each take a bite, half for each person.”

“It’s not the same, you little dummy. I can eat what you’ve left because I’m your brother, but your Ningning Sister and I can’t eat what each other has eaten.” While Cheng Zhu was saying this, his eyes were on Shen Qingning holding the phone, his face all smiles.

Shen Qingning’s peripheral vision caught his expression, but her eyes remained focused on the phone screen, telling Little You to finish the candied haw herself.

“Give me the phone,” Cheng Zhu said after they had chatted a bit more.

Ning Bao, feeling rather uncomfortable and not wanting to face the camera, was relieved and handed the phone back to Cheng Zhu.

He chatted with Little You for a while longer before Xu Yun suggested hanging up.

“Little Youzi, say goodbye to Ningning Sister,” Cheng Zhu lifted the phone toward Shen Qingning.

The cool girl, caught off guard by the sudden focus, said her goodbyes to Little You and didn’t forget to add, “Goodbye, Auntie.”

After the video call ended, the man still watching her, smilingly said:

“You seemed pretty nervous just now?”

(ps: Second update, last day for double monthly tickets, asking for your monthly tickets!

The additional chapters for the Alliance Leader are 2 that I remember. I’ve been dealing with back issues lately; it’s painful every day, and sitting for long isn’t advisable. Not taking a leave is already my limit; I’m still stable around 7,000 characters. I’ll make up for the owed chapters as soon as I get better.)
