The group left in different cars.

Huo Zheng carried Lin Xiaowan into the car and kissed her before he said teasingly, “You’re just as childish as Dabao and Erbao.”

“How am I childish?” Lin Xiaowan protested.

Huo Zheng smiled and did not say anything. He only stroked her head and helped her massage her legs.

In the evening, Zhu Yingyue sent a message to report the business for the day. It was filled with string after string of numbers, and honestly, Lin Xiaowan did not understand anything. In any case, based on the numbers at the bottom, she could still tell that the turnover was pretty good.

[Zhu Yingyue: As expected, the changes we made didn’t affect us.]

[Zhu Yingyue: Moreover, Xiao Liu told me that the second floor is fully booked for the next three days.]

Lin Xiaowan was slightly surprised by this. She checked Speaker and discovered that she had more than 99 notifications on the app. Puzzled, she clicked on the notification button and discovered that most of the notifications were from members of the dessert shop’s page. There was one notification that indicated she had been mentioned in a post.

She clicked on the notification hesitantly. The post was an advertisement for some facial cleansers. She did not bother reading through hundreds of comments. After all, she was not interested. She quickly clicked on the return button and returned to the notification page.

At this time, Lin Xiaowan’s followers suddenly rose from 0 to 36. She did not think much about it, assuming they were just followers of the dessert shop. She cleared her notifications and quickly exited the app.

Lin Xiaowan planned to go to the dessert shop the next day, but she could not get out of bed the next day. Her back, legs, thighs, and butt hurt just like the time when she returned from Mount An. For a moment, she felt like she did not go horse riding and had climbed Mount An again.

Lin Xiaowan did not make things difficult for herself. She was not in need of money, after all. With that, she lazed around for another week before Qiao You’an called her to meet at the dessert shop.

The employees of the dessert shop knew that Lin Xiaowan was the boss. She did not put on air and had a good temper; she spoke slowly and softly and was not aggressive at all. For these reasons, they liked her a lot.

“Boss, you’re here!”

Lin Xiaowan waved and asked, “Is my sister-in-law here?”

After asking that, she realized the employee probably did not know who she was referring to so she added, “Her surname is Qiao.”

There were not many people with this surname. The employee did not even need to check the reservation list. She remembered it as soon as Lin Xiaowan mentioned it.

“So that gentle woman is your sister-in-law. Yes, she’s upstairs.”

Lin Xiaowan made an OK gesture. When she passed by the display, she saw the blueberry cheesecake and brought it up with her.

Qian You’an came with two women, one of whom Lin Xiaowan had met previously. The two of them were dressed conservatively and sat upright. Their hair was tied up meticulously, they smiled without showing their teeth, and they ate very slowly. Their mannerism was typical ladylike behavior of Shangxia.

After the renovation, the privacy on the second floor had been enhanced. Zhu Yingyue had hired someone to design the layout, and Lin Xiaowan also liked the design a lot. Previously, when Lin Xiaowan came over to have a look, it had not taken shape yet. She was really surprised now that she saw the completed work.

Each booth had its own style and decoration. The curtains, chairs, tables, and the like were all replaced. Each of the booths was exquisite.

Qiao You’an was seated in the corner. An exquisite purple plant and a bonsai stood in the corner as decorative pieces while the ceiling was decorated with golden stars. Silver ornaments in the booth created a feeling that transported away from Shangxia.

It was a rather good place to take photos.

When the three of them saw Lin Xiaowan, they waved and smiled at her, gesturing for her to take a seat.

Qiao You’an introduced the older of the two women, saying, “This is Professor Hong’s daughter, Madam Zheng. You can just call her Aunt Zheng.”

Lin Xiaowan placed the blueberry cheesecake in the middle of the table before she took a seat next to Qiao You’an. Then, she said with a smile, “Hello, Aunt Zheng.”

Subsequently, Lin Xiaowan looked at the other woman, whom she had met once. Despite only meeting the other party once, she remembered that the other party was Aunt Zhang. She said politely, “Hello, Aunt Zhang.”

Aunt Zheng smiled as she looked at Lin Xiaowan and said, “My mom often mentions you to me. I’ve even seen your paintings. You should visit when you’re free.”

Recently, Lin Xiaowan was not very focused on painting. When Hong Minhua saw her, Hong Minhua would sigh and complain that her heart was only with the dessert shop. When she heard Aunt Zheng’s words, she could not help but feel slightly guilty.

The two women were like elders. They asked how the dessert shop was doing and told her that their friends who visited the shop praised the shop’s delicious desserts and unique decorations.

Lin Xiaowan said truthfully, “Actually, Sister Zhu is the one who did everything. I didn’t do much.”

“When we came, we saw many people downstairs. It seems like business is booming.”

Qiao You’an said, “The patissiers that she and Zhu Yingyue hired are top-notch. The ingredients they used are also high-quality, and the desserts are delicious. However, it seems like she’s worried about people spending too much money so the price is very low as well. How can there not be many people?”

Lin Xiaowan blushed slightly when she heard Qiao You’an’s words. “Sister…”

The three women laughed seeing that Lin Xiaowan was embarrassed.

Aunt Zheng had a very good impression of Lin Xiaowan. She said, speaking up for the latter, “That’s also a way to earn money. In any case, she’s young so she still has time to learn.”

Meanwhile, Qiao You’an noticed Lin Xiaowan staring at the desserts on the table so she said, “Alright, we should let Xiaowan eat. Look at her eyes. She can’t even look away from the desserts.”

Upon hearing these words, the other two women quickly pushed a few desserts toward Lin Xiaowan.

“Eat more. We’re old now so we don’t eat much.”

Seeing that there were no drinks on the table, Lin Xiaowan took the initiative to ask, “What would you like to drink? I’ll get them for you.”

The drinks selection in the shop was not very wide; there were only tea and fruit juices. One could count the variety of drinks with one hand.

“We don’t really like sweet drinks. Do you have any recommendations for us?” Qiao You’an asked.

“It’s summer now. Would you like to have green tea or jasmine tea? Lin Xiaowan asked, “I’ll make sure not to add sugar to the pot of tea.”

The women were not picky so in the end, Qiao You’an chose green tea for them.

“Let’s have green tea. To make it more refreshing, I’ll add mint leaves as well.

They’ll help with dispelling the heat..”
