“Isn’t it pure to kiss your spouse?”

Cheng Yun turned offended from embarassment.

So he turned his again to Yang Hongjin and irrespective of how a lot the fool apologized and tried to coax him, it didn’t work.

Yang Hongjin confronted such a livid anger from his spouse for the primary time. Even when confronted with the group of individuals within the village earlier than, Cheng Yun remained calm, exhibiting no indicators of anger. However now, he was so offended that he didn’t even need to take a look at him.

If it was simply guilt earlier than, now his coronary heart was utterly damaged.

His intelligence appeared to have regressed to its authentic state straight away. Going through Cheng Yun’s again, he flippantly hooked his finger after which hooked it once more, calling out with a pitiful tone, “Spouse.”

Cheng Yun softened when he heard his voice, however as quickly as he thought of how Yang Hongjin had finished this and that whereas he was sleeping, his face blushed. So he might solely toughen his neck and say in a nasty tone, “What would you like?”

Yang Hongjin shrank his neck and mentioned with a pitiful look, “Spouse, I used to be mistaken. Please don’t ignore me…”

Cheng Yun didn’t know whether or not it was his phantasm or not, however it appeared like he heard Yang Hongjin sniffle. Mixed along with his tone, it appeared like he was a pitiful little boy.

So Cheng Yun’s tone softened a bit, however the embarrassment nonetheless hadn’t utterly light. “The place did you go mistaken? Inform me.”

“I went mistaken all over the place.”

Oh, this man had even discovered this transfer!

However Cheng Yun had a counter-move. “Then record them for me.”

The particular person behind him fell silent for a second, and simply when Cheng Yun thought he was going to say sneaking hugs and kisses, he unexpectedly mentioned, “I shouldn’t have lied.”

Cheng Yun thought, effectively, that’s certainly one, however as he waited for different solutions, Yang Hongjin didn’t say something extra.

Cheng Yun turned aggravated and amused. “Is that every one? Nothing else?”

Yang Hongjin truthfully shook his head. “Nothing else.”

Cheng Yun was much more exasperated. He rotated and confronted him, sporting an offended expression. “You sneaked hugs and kisses whereas I used to be asleep, don’t these depend?”

Cheng Yun needed to see how he would defend himself, however the idiot simply seemed confused and mentioned, “Hugging and kissing my spouse, isn’t that pure?”

For a second, Cheng Yun was choked by his phrases.

It appeared like… he didn’t actually do something mistaken?

However Cheng Yun was nonetheless offended though he couldn’t pinpoint the rationale. Almost definitely, it was only a case of being embarrassed and getting offended. His face flushed, and he didn’t know what to say.

Yang Hongjin cautiously hooked Cheng Yun’s little finger. This time, he wasn’t rejected. Out of the blue, he felt comfortable and known as out “Spouse” in a candy, submissive tone. His demeanor was utterly completely different from earlier than when he appeared pitiful.

Cheng Yun realized that this particular person’s pitiful act was simply an act. All of the sniffles and tears had been pretend!

So this was his true face? It was often hidden beneath that foolishness!

Cheng Yun was midway via his anger however couldn’t keep offended going through his pleasing face. Apart from, this idiot liked him a lot, and he was already comfortable about that. It was only a momentary embarrassment, and he didn’t know find out how to react. If he continued to be offended like this, there can be no future.

It was additionally lucky that this fool hadn’t absolutely recovered but. Cheng Yun comforted himself in his coronary heart. It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ve already coaxed this fool, and he gained’t bear in mind this incident. It’s a lesson discovered.

So he moved his finger, and like receiving a sign, Yang Hongjin rapidly hooked it, calling out “Spouse” in a delightful method. He was as obedient as may very well be.

Cheng Yun warned, “You’re not allowed to lie anymore, perceive?”

Yang Hongjin nodded rapidly.

Nevertheless, simply as Cheng Yun thought this matter was closed, he was requested once more, “Can I nonetheless hug and kiss?”

Cheng Yun felt his face blush once more, however this time, he didn’t hassle over the query. After a second, he softly replied, “Um.”

Within the subsequent second, he was tightly embraced by the idiot, who forcefully kissed him on the lips.

It was solely at that second that Cheng Yun realized that each time Yang Hongjin had sneakily kissed him earlier than, it had all the time been on his lips!

Blushing and aggravated, he was kissed to sleep. The subsequent morning, when Cheng Yun opened his eyes, Yang Hongjin acted as if nothing had occurred. He noticed him cuddling his face and cheerfully saying, “Spouse, this bedsheet is so heat and comfy!”

Cheng Yun thought to himself, after all it’s. Yang Hongjin slept hugging him all night time, making it exhausting for him to breathe. Simply masking himself with a sheet, after all, he’d really feel…

Earlier than he might end his interior ideas, he was kissed on the lips once more by Yang Hongjin.

He froze, and two seconds later, his face rapidly turned crimson. Instinctively, he pushed Yang Hongjin’s face away along with his hand and stuttered, “Wh-what are you doing!”

“Kissing my spouse,” Yang Hongjin mentioned fortunately, “Hey spouse!”

Cheng Yun needed to inform him to not kiss him randomly, however he additionally remembered his query from final night time. Afraid of being questioned once more, his phrases took a unique flip. “I haven’t washed up but. I’m soiled. No kissing.”

Yang Hongjin obediently nodded, then rapidly mentioned with pleasure, “Then after I wash up, I’ll kiss you once more!”

Cheng Yun: “…”

This man, after speaking about it final night time, acted as if a change had been flipped. He hugged every time he needed to hug, kissed every time he needed to kiss. And while you scolded him, he would offer you a glance as if to say, “Isn’t this what ought to occur?” It made Cheng Yun unable to launch his anger.

However seeing him changing into happier and extra carefree with every passing day, and listening to him communicate extra clearly and logically, Cheng Yun was nonetheless comfortable in his coronary heart.

If the preliminary Yang Hongjin was like a 4 or five-year-old youngster, nonetheless within the stage of studying to talk, then the present Yang Hongjin was like a main college scholar who had his personal consciousness and will categorical himself.

He had gained self-awareness and not merely categorized issues pretty much as good or dangerous, however might now present a listing of causes and analyze why one thing was good or dangerous. He might even discern between good and evil from different folks’s phrases.

Cheng Yun not restricted his outings. He believed that the folks within the village couldn’t hurt him anymore. Even when he encountered somebody like Li Fengjiao, Yang Hongjin knew that he had a spouse at house who would arise for him. He not needed to cower like he did prior to now.

Days handed in strange and busy routines. The climate progressively grew colder, and every morning they awakened, they discovered it a bit chillier than the day prior to this.

Earlier than the lion dance started, Liu Wen specifically ready a big crimson material to cowl the brand new retailer, arousing curiosity and anticipation among the many crowd.

And when the lion head eliminated the crimson material on the finish of the lion dance, revealing an open-style corridor that was utterly completely different from the standard restaurant fashion, everybody was amazed. After they noticed that each desk was adorned with unfamiliar utensils, the onlookers grew much more curious.

“What are these issues? Is Yueqiong Tower introducing one thing new once more?”

“Have you ever been to Yueqiong Tower in Tengyun City earlier than? I’ve been there as soon as, and the meals is extremely scrumptious. I’ll assist something from Yueqiong Tower!”

“Sure, sure! Yueqiong Tower has lastly come to Nanming Metropolis. We gained’t need to journey up to now anymore. The folks of Nanming Metropolis are lastly in for a deal with.”

“Did you hear? The loyal prospects from Tengyun City are handled like honored company. They obtain items once they dine. Now that it’s open in Nanming Metropolis, I’ve to come back typically and get acquainted. No matter what Yueqiong Tower sells, I’ll go to three or 4 instances per week!”

Exterior the shop, folks had been buzzing with pleasure, discussing the achievements of Yueqiong Tower and their very own experiences of eating there.

To stop everybody from crowding into the shop, Cheng Yun had the foresight to distribute numbered tickets within the order of arrival. After the official opening, the shop supervisor would name out the numbers on the entrance.

Beforehand, folks would line up exterior the door, and there have been typically shoving incidents. However now with the numbered tickets, Liu Wen additionally positioned many chairs exterior the shop. Individuals might purchase bitter plum drink whereas ready, and in the event that they entered the shop, the price of the plum soup can be deducted from their invoice.

This fashion, prospects didn’t have to attend in line exterior and will take pleasure in meals and drinks whereas ready.

The lengthy queue exterior additionally served as constructive advertising and marketing.

As soon as the primary batch of consumers entered Yueqiong Tower, every desk had a waiter explaining find out how to function the new pot. It was a brand new eating expertise, so Yueqiong Tower quickly elevated its employees to help. Even Liu Wen and Cheng Yun pitched in to assist.

Yang Hongjin adopted behind Cheng Yun, often serving to with serving dishes and operating errands. Initially, Liu Wen was a bit fearful, however seeing him deal with issues adeptly and with Cheng Yun’s supervision, he let him do his duties.

Inside and outdoors the restaurant, folks had been fascinated by this new idea. Watching the waiters display find out how to function the new pot, everybody felt a way of novelty.

Lastly, when all of the soup bases had been prepared and the new pot broths had been boiling, the restaurant was stuffed with a wealthy and attractive aroma.

Yueqiong Tower’s sizzling pot restaurant not solely flourished, however it additionally introduced prosperity to close by companies. The small stalls that had been initially fearful about Yueqiong Tower stealing their prospects had been now beaming with pleasure and sincerely wishing for the success of Yueqiong Tower.

Cheng Yun had a busy day, and since they ran out of ready elements and needed to shut the store early, they lastly had an opportunity to relaxation.

When he was in a position to sit down, Cheng Yun felt utterly exhausted, like a pile of unfastened bones. He couldn’t sit up and, for the primary time, leaned on Yang Hongjin overtly, permitting him to provide him a therapeutic massage.

Liu Wen was additionally exhausted. As a naturally plump particular person, he hadn’t skilled such exhausting work in a very long time since changing into a boss. Though each bone in his physique was screaming in ache, he nonetheless couldn’t resist the urge to take out the account ebook and calculate the earnings.

“201, 289… a complete of 86 taels and 357 yuan! We earned this quantity in simply half a day, greater than 30% larger than an entire day within the previous store!”

Liu Wen held the account ebook and his face turned crimson with pleasure. “I initially invested round 500 taels of silver, so based on this calculation, we’ll recuperate the funding and make a revenue in lower than a month!”

86 taels in a day, Cheng Yun was additionally pleasantly shocked by this quantity. However he wasn’t carried away by pleasure and cautioned, “Initially, the primary few days will certainly be extra worthwhile. However as soon as everybody has tried it, the later days will possible see a decline. We gained’t be capable of keep the day by day revenue of practically 100 taels.”

“You’re proper, however let me be excited for a second,” Liu Wen wasn’t discouraged in any respect. Holding the account ebook, he seemed extraordinarily happy. “Again when the previous Yueqiong Tower simply opened, we’d barely earn ten taels in an entire day. Now, tsk tsk, it appears we should always open a store within the capital quickly primarily based on this momentum!”

Cheng Yun smiled and didn’t refute his phrases.

He leaned in opposition to Yang Hongjin, discovered a extra snug place, and whispered to him.

“fool, are you drained at this time?” Cheng Yun lazily requested.

“Drained,” Yang Hongjin didn’t dare to lie, “but additionally comfortable!”

Cheng Yun smiled. He might see that Yang Hongjin’s happiness was real. He most likely felt helpful now, in a position to assist others like a standard particular person. That made him even happier than when he stayed at house.

This sort of happiness was solely seen in Yang Hongjin when Cheng Yun requested him to assist calculate cash for the villagers. In hindsight, this fool actually needed to do one thing to assist everybody.

The 2 of them whispered to one another, talking softly. When Liu Wen calmed down from his pleasure, he noticed this scene and located it too dazzling.

“Simply do me a favor and cease exhibiting affection in entrance of me. I’m a lonely particular person. What sin have I dedicated to endure seeing you two lovebirds day by day?” Liu Wen complained.

Cheng Yun raised an eyebrow, “If you happen to don’t prefer it, discover somebody to get married. Final time once I visited Dr. Liu’s home, the previous man talked about you. He mentioned he’s afraid he gained’t stay to see the day you get married.”

“Sufficient, don’t speak to me about this,” Liu Wen confirmed no real interest in that subject, “I get lectured each time I am going house. I’m so scared I don’t even need to go house.”

The objects within the store had been utterly cleared out, leaving the purchasers with no selection however to go to different eating places in Nanming Metropolis to have their meal.

In the course of the meal, Liu Wen stored speaking continuous, whereas Cheng Yun was too drained to say something and didn’t really feel like talking. Seeing that nobody responded to him, Liu Wen progressively stopped speaking and quietly centered on consuming along with his head down.

Whereas they had been having their quiet second, the dialog at different tables grew livelier.

Most of them had been speaking about Yueqiong Tower’s opening that day, describing the bustling scene as the largest occasion in Nanming Metropolis in practically a decade.

Liu Wen and Cheng Yun listened intently. Undeniably, the reward from others sounded pleasing to the ears, although some descriptions had been exaggerated. However it was much more pleasing to listen to with out the presence of the folks concerned.
