Chapter 458: Small Misunderstanding

After that night, the two of them seemed to have opened up a new world.

Whenever Jiang Danhe was at home, he would definitely stick to Xiaoguo. He couldn’t do anything bold, but he always makes an effort to steal a kiss or hug from her.

Everyday before dawn, Jiang Danhe would be looking forward to nightfall. And during the night, Xiaoguo would be looking forward to dawn.

Xiaoguo heaved a sigh of relief when Jiang Danhe’s vacation ended.

If things continued like this, Jiang Danhe might not worry about his kidneys but Xiaoguo would have to worry about her waist.

“Sister Xiaoguo, where are we going?”

“I’ll buy you some snacks.”

Xiaoguo said with a smile. No matter what, she had come to the capital. She had to pay a visit to the top snack house in the world, the Powdered Dish Shop.

“Wow… We’re in for a treat.”

Ruyi glanced at Qin Anming. Previously, they had heard some diners talk about the famous Powdered Dish Shop in the capital. They didn’t expect to be in luck today.

“Unfortunately, Zhuang Zhuang isn’t around.”

Qin Anming shook his head regretfully.

On the first day of the new year, Zhuang Zhuang was called away by Xiaoyi again.

“Zhuang Zhuang must be enjoying all sorts of delicacies in the palace,”

Shu Botong chimed in. He didn’t think that Zhuang Zhuang would be missing much.

“What do you mean?”

Ruyi didn’t understand. She was thinking of bringing some snacks back for Zhuang Zhuang.

“Xiaoyi’s family are definitely no ordinary folks. Look at the patterns on their clothes, they were all embroidered with gold threads. To be dressed so extravagantly, they must be either rich or powerful.”

Shu Botong had sharp eyes, and he noticed it as soon as he saw Xiaoyi. When he saw the boy’s father, he was even more certain of his guess.

Xiaoguo smiled and didn’t say anything. “Heis quite right. But the truth is, they are both rich and powerful.”

Ruyi understood what he meant now. Their family was already so rich, so they must be well-fed. They might even have a few chefs in the residence who specialized in making snacks.

At the thought of this, she felt a little envious of Zhuang Zhuang.

At the mention of Xiaoyi and his father, Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu fell silent at the same time. Although they had gotten along very well during their previous interactions, their perception of hierarchy was deeply ingrained in their bones and could hardly be changed.

“We’re here.”

Xiaoguo stopped in her tracks and redirected everyone’s attention to the Powdered Dish Shop.

The antique-looking shop was now right in front of them.

To their surprise, the famous Powder Dish Shop only had such a small entrance. The shop space didn’t look big either—it looked much smaller than the fabric shop beside them.

“Is this the place?”

Ruyi asked with uncertainty. No matter how she looked at it, this place didn’t look like a reputed restaurant.

“Could they be using their fame to sell some inferior products?”

Shu Botong also thought that the shop looked suspicious. He was hesitating whether to go in or not. If this was a shop that was trying to rip off customers, it would burn a big hole in his pocket if he went in.

Qin Anming remained silent and looked at Xiaoguo. “Shall I go in with Botong to check things out?”

They were girls after all, to play safe, it’s better for the two men to go in instead.

Shu Botong nodded in agreement.

The main reason for their apprehensiveness was that this shop gave them a strange vibe. Not only was it empty, there was also no fragrance of freshly made snacks. Moreover, there was only a counter and a shop assistant in this tiny place without even a table in sight.

The storefront was nicely done up, but the interior looked really strange.

While Xiaoguo was still hesitating, a familiar voice sounded above her head.

“What a coincidence. Have you guys come here for tea?”

Su Changsheng was on the second floor. When he stretched his head out and saw a familiar figure, his eyes immediately lit up. Was this telepathy? He was just thinking about her when she suddenly appeared.

When the group saw him, they entered the shop with relief. Since he was here, this must be the real deal.

If they hadn’t come in, they wouldn’t have known that there was another world inside. What they saw was only the entrance, but the actual shop was upstairs.

They climbed the stairs and arrived at the second floor, which was a bright and spacious hall. Although they didn’t see anyone on the first floor, the second floor was filled with people. The air was also filled with a strong fragrance of freshly made snacks.

It was fortunate that they bumped into Su Changsheng. Otherwise, the shop assistant at the door would not have let them up—it was too crowded inside and there were no seats at all.

After avoiding the crowd with difficulty, they finally arrived at the private room where Su Changsheng was.

The interior was quite spacious, enough to seat a few people.

“Thank you. If we hadn’t bumped into you, we wouldn’t have been able to get in.”

Xiaoguo thanked him just before taking a seat, making Su Changsheng somewhat bemused.

“I thought we’re friends. There’s no need to say that.”

Xiaoguo smiled. “That’s true. There shouldn’t be formalities between friends.”

Su Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, looking extremely handsome. Xiaoguo thought that he looked rather suave when he wasn’t behaving like a profiteer.

“The coconut balls here are not bad. The butterfly crisps and mung bean cakes are good too.”

After saying that, Su Changsheng thought for a moment and continued, “The Ruyi cake and Auspicious fruit are not bad either.”

“Aye?”

Ruyi was stunned. Her name had been made into a pastry. How interesting.

Su Changsheng smiled. “Let’s order a bit of everything? It’s my treat.”

“How can we let you do that?”

Ruyi looked at Xiaoguo happily and shot her an inquiring look at the same time.

Xiaoguo looked at Su Changsheng and shook her head. “Forget it. I’ll treat you to the snacks.”

Su Changsheng smiled and asked, “When are you guys going back?”

“Soon. In three days.”

Xiaoguo knew what he was going to say. Sure enough, when the other party heard this, he said, “Then just take this as a farewell meal. After today, I’ll be very busy. Otherwise, I will definitely treat you to a meal.”

Xiaoguo did not ask him further for the reason. Since he had already said so, how could she refuse? “Alright, I’ll sponge off on you today…”

Su Changsheng smiled and nodded at her with a magnanimous look. Then, he called out to the shop assistant to place his order.

Qin Anming quietly pulled Xiaoguo closer to him. He thought that something felt off. He didn’t know if he was thinking too much, but the way Su Changsheng looked at his sister didn’t look normal…

The snacks recommended by Su Changsheng were indeed delicious. Paired with the fragrant green tea, the snacks were flavorful but not greasy. Once eaten, they immediately melt in the mouth, with a lingering aftertaste.

The atmosphere was very harmonious with the group enjoying the snacks over a delightful conversation.

Su Changsheng was indeed knowledgeable and could engage in conversation with anyone. As he shared his experiences, everyone was entranced and deeply impressed by his stories. They admired him for having been to so many places at such a young age— everybody was feeling extremely envious.

Putting down her teacup, Xiaoguo looked at the group of people staring intently at Su Changsheng and chuckled to herself. Fortunately, it was Su Changsheng who was at the center of attention. If this was someone with thinner skin, he might have been too embarrassed to speak up.

After bidding farewell to everyone politely, Su Changsheng looked at Xiaoguo again and said meaningfully before boarding the carriage, “I’ll pay you a visit sometime.”

Xiaoguo knew what Su Changsheng meant, so she nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Su Changsheng smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

The cow was about to give birth. He had to come over when that happened.

Everyone present understood that the two were talking about cows, but Jiang Danhe, who had just arrived at the corner of the street, didn’t know that.

Or rather, he had forgotten about it.

At the thought of the annoying Su Changsheng meeting up with Xiaoguo, he felt terrible.

He felt terrible and uncomfortable.

As the group walked home, they happened to see the back view of Jiang Danhe, who looked inexplicably lonely.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, the man gave Xiaoguo a mournful look and turned to walk back.

To think that he had come out of the military camp, filled with longing for her. He couldn’t wait to see her, but she was enjoying herself laughing and giggling with another man. That was so cruel of her.

Xiaoguo had no idea what was going on. It was only when Qin Anming nudged her that she quickly chased after Jiang Danhe.

As she caught up with him, Jiang Danhe felt a little more relieved in his heart, but he was still wearing a sullen expression on his face.

No matter how she asked him, he refused to speak and continued walking forward. When Xiaoguo couldn’t keep up, he secretly slowed down and waited for her to catch up before continuing to resume walking at full speed.

After blowing out the lights at night, Jiang Danhe changed all his grievances into actions..
