Gu Qingxin’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the tiny, snow-white puppy in the man’s hand, with a mix of astonishment and delight.
Lines of exasperation creased Rong Qianchen’s forehead. Wu Hen’s work was becoming sloppier. Who ever heard of a man pulling a puppy out of thin air during a magic trick for a girl!
However, seeing Xiao Ya’s thrill and joy – as though she cherished the gift – he figured he would let it slide this time.
Wu Hen was inwardly panicking. He, too, wanted to conjure a flower for Rong, but all that was available at the doorway of the restaurant were puppies for sale!
“It’s so beautiful! You’re amazing! This is the first time I’ve seen a magic trick producing a puppy!”
Gu Qingxin reached out her hand, and Rong Qianchen immediately passed the little puppy into Xiao Ya’s hands.
As Gu Qingxin held the adorable puppy, her gloomy mood – from being scolded by Beiming Han – instantly lifted considerably, and a smile spread across her face.
“So cute!” Gu Qingxin gently stroked the puppy’s fur atop its head, while the little puppy incessantly licked her hand with its tongue extended.
In Shunxiang Vegetarian Restaurant’s luxury compartment…
Five individuals were sat around a dining table large enough to sit over a dozen people.
Long Xuxu would occasionally serve food to Beiming Han, beaming with a kind and attentive demeanor. But Beiming Han didn’t spare her a single glance, his mind entirely preoccupied with the notably dolled-up Xiao Ya.
His brow remained furrowed the entire time.
Beiming Wuji had called his name twice without receiving a response, and when Long Xuxu nudged him gently, Beiming Han cast her an icy look before suddenly standing up.
“Wuji, 1 was talking to you. Didn’t you hear me? For this partnership, we owe Uncle Long a considerable debt of gratitude,” Beiming Wuji said, frowning at his sixth son. It was the first time he had seen Beiming Flan daydreaming during an important discussion.
“I have some matters to deal with. You all carry on. In relation to the loan, you can send a representative to my office to discuss it,” he said.
The Long family ran a bank. As the lending party, the audacious approach of Beiming Flan was indeed very characteristic of his attitude.
Without waiting for any of the attendees to react, Beiming Flan left the table on his own accord.
“Wuji, what’s the matter with your young brother? He’s not even listening to you!” Long Yaowei was obviously displeased with Beiming Flan’s attitude that day.
“Father, Flan must have had some emergency… Earlier…” Long Xuxu began, but abruptly bit her lip in regret, as though she had spoken out of turn.
“What happened earlier, Xuxu? Tell Uncle,” Beiming Wuji coaxed, looking at her with affection. This was the woman he had long chosen as his future daughter-in-law.
“It’s nothing much. It’s just that earlier, when Flan and I were entering, we saw… a young maid from North Garden. Han seemed quite perturbed after that.”
From the one sentence uttered by Long Xuxu, Beiming Wuji understood everything. When referring to the “young maid from North Garden,” he was acutely aware that she meant the girl Beiming Han had recently taken under his wing.
Beiming Han was no longer a young man, and for families like theirs, with high status and reputation, keeping a few mistresses around was not unusual. But developing genuine feelings was absolutely out of question.
After all, their offspring were meant to forge alliances and consolidate the family empire!
Beiming Wuji was reminded of the day when he was so infuriated by his rebellious son Beiming Han that he even struck him, and the girl who had rushed out…
If Beiming Flan truly had serious feelings for this girl, then this girl must be removed!
As Long Xuxu, dressed in her innocent-looking Western-style dress, lowered her head to sip her drink, a hint of malevolence flickered in her eyes…
Gu Qingxin brought a plate of milk for the puppy. Seeing the creature’s cute and clumsy struggle to drink from the dish, she chuckled and helped it, constantly smiling happily.
Unable to efficiently drink from the dish, the puppy kept nudging the plate forward. Suddenly, the plate almost fell to the ground, spilling most of the milk.
“Not a problem.” Rong Qianchen quickly stood up and rushed over to Gu Qingxin, helping her wipe the pan of spilled milk off the table and her hands..
