Chen Yan was suspicious.
The door opened.
She entered without a trace of emotion, her face slightly flushed, and she seemed quite nervous.
Two hands were clasped tightly together.
"Is something wrong?"
Chen Yan poured her a cup of tea, handed it to her, and asked with a smile.
Wuqing took the teacup and took a small sip.
Her nervousness lessened considerably. She gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision, and looked up, staring directly at Chen Yan with her clear, bright eyes.
Taking a deep breath, her voice trembled slightly, yet she asked with unusual determination, "Shopkeeper, I... I want to ask you, you... you said during the day, you said I was one of your people..."
What...what does this mean?
You came to me so late at night just to ask this?
Chen Yan was speechless.
Didn't I already answer that during the day? Do I have to say it again?
He opened his mouth to answer.
Unexpectedly, Wuqing became very agitated at this moment, stomped his foot, and said in embarrassment and anger, "Don't call me your little handyman anymore, I'm your little employee!"
I don't want to hear that answer. I... I want to ask, in your heart, is there... is there still a closer relationship between us...?
After saying this.
Her delicate, flawless face was flushed crimson, so beautiful it seemed almost dripping with moisture…
However, despite her shyness and trepidation, she seemed determined to get an answer this time.
Therefore, her eyes remained fixed on Chen Yan, without moving an inch.

This was the first time Chen Yan had seen Wuqing so stubborn, and he was taken aback.
He noticed the tenderness and hope in her eyes, paused for a moment, and softly replied, "In my heart, there is certainly a closer relationship between us..."
"What kind of relationship do we have?"
Ruthless joy; he placed his hands on his chest, clenching them tightly into fists.
Chen Yan recalled the moments he spent with Wuqing, and his eyes gradually softened as he reached out a hand to gently stroke Wuqing's smooth and delicate cheek.
Ruthless seemed to enjoy this feeling, tilting his head slightly and leaning towards Chen Yan's large hand.
Chen Yan then said, "You kissed me twice, and I really enjoy being with you. Perhaps we can already be considered confidantes?"
Or perhaps, you...you're half a woman to me?
Hear this answer.
Uncontrollable joy was evident in Wuqing's eyes as she looked at Chen Yan, even shedding tears in a daze.
After more than ten breaths.
She gritted her teeth, took two steps back, closed the door, and blew out the candles.
The room suddenly went dark.
in the dark.
Only a cold, nervous, and shy voice rang out: "I...I don't want to be half of your woman, I...I want my whole being to belong to you..."
…………
the next day.
early morning.
Inside Tongfu Inn.
Wanwan walked in alone, yawning as she went, her eyes slightly dark, as if she hadn't slept well last night.
Tong Xiangyu swayed her hips as she came to greet her.
Seeing that she hadn't slept well, he teased, "Wanwan, did you go out to steal last night? You look so haggard..."
Wanwan nodded.
Deep down, I felt resentful. After listening all night, it was hard to get a good night's sleep.
Then, Tong Xiangyu glanced behind her and asked in surprise, "Huh? You usually come to breakfast with Wuqing or Manager Chen. Why are you alone today?"
Wanwan pouted.
With a mischievous smile, she whispered with a hint of gossip, "Last night, Wuqing went to the innkeeper's room. She's probably still asleep, so I came alone."
"Wow! It's this popular?!"
Guo Furong also joined in at some point, looking utterly shocked.
Old Bai laughed loudly: "What's so exciting about this? Wuqing likes Manager Chen. Even a fool knows that this was bound to happen sooner or later."
"Wouldn't that mean Manager Chen could treat us to wedding candy?"
Lu Xiucai also came over with a writing brush and an account book.
Li Dazui laughed loudly: "Manager Chen is quite wealthy. If he's hosting a wedding candy party, we'll just pick the most expensive ones."
"I only want the most expensive, not necessarily the best..."
“That might be a bit difficult. I recently discovered that Manager Chen, like our Manager Tong, is a bit stingy…” Bai Zhantang bit his finger and glanced disdainfully at Tong Xiangyu beside him.
Tong Xiangyu was immediately enraged.
We need to pinch the soft flesh around Bai Zhantang's waist.
The group laughed and joked around, all happy that Chen Yan and Wu Qing had gotten together.
But at the table in the corner, Wang Yuyan, who was teaching Xiao Bei and Zhang Wuji to practice calligraphy, looked somber.
"I... I suddenly feel a little unwell, I'll go back to my room for a bit. You can practice your calligraphy freely."
After leaving those words behind, Wang Yuyan quickly went upstairs to her room.
"Sister Yuyan must have been provoked by this incident."
Zhang Wuji watched her retreating figure and nodded firmly.
Mo Xiaobei looked at him in surprise.
Unexpectedly, even this slowpoke Zhang Wuji is starting to get it.
Then, clenching his fist, he said solemnly, "Yes, so our matchmaking team must bring Sister Yu Yan and Brother Chen Yan together as soon as possible."
"Have you come up with a good idea?"
Zhang Wuji was pleasantly surprised.
Mo Xiaobei nodded: "Yes."
Zhang Wuji was overjoyed and leaned closer: "Xiao Bei, tell me quickly, what's the method?"
Mo Xiaobei said seriously, "My idea is that while Sister Yuyan is away, we should go buy some candied hawthorns. After eating them, maybe we'll have a burst of inspiration and come up with a great idea..."
Ah...that's it?
Zhang Wuji's face immediately fell...
…………
Inside the fortune-telling shop.

He went downstairs without a second thought.
She walked slowly, as if she was feeling unwell.
However, recalling last night, she felt a surge of shyness and sweet smiles.
"Ruthless, congratulations."
In the lobby of the fortune-telling shop, Shi Feixuan was cleaning. Upon seeing her, he smiled and offered his congratulations.
"Sister Feixuan, you're making fun of me too!"
Wuqing's face fell, and he turned his head to the side.
Shi Feixuan smiled and stopped teasing her. She took a broom and went to the backyard to sweep.
Wuqing sat in the chair, not planning to go to Tongfu Inn for dinner right now, because she knew...
The people at Tongfu Inn loved to gossip. If I went there now, they would definitely make fun of me.
"Yeah, I'd rather skip a meal than be laughed at by them."
Ruthless clenched his fist, thinking to himself.
Then, she couldn't help but think of the absurd and exciting things that happened last night, and her face flushed again.
