Chapter 177: 177: No More Seats?
In the small shop of less than 20 square meters, it was almost impossible to find a vacant table.
“What do we do, there are no seats,” Rong Yan searched around but couldn’t find a spot, and said helplessly to the tall man, “Shall we change to another place?”
The landlady bustled about in the busy shop and when she saw them, her eyes lit up and she came over, “Aren’t you the young couple who visited our store last time?”
Embarrassed—young couple..
She had been here many times alone and had never been remembered by the landlady. But after bringing a certain someone just once, they’d been remembered.
It really was a society that judged by appearances! Being handsome meant you could do whatever you wanted-
The landlady approached them, pointing at them in surprise, “It’s you two, I remember you. You even participated in our ‘Like and Win Pig’s Trotter Soup’ event that day!”
The landlady seemed very happy as she chatted away, “It’s quite strange actually; ever since you two participated in the event, we’ve had more customers during this period. Hahaha, there was a time when I was wondering if our business was booming because you had advertised for us-
Indeed, their business had been extremely good lately. Although it was always quite good, it was even better now!
Every day, quite a few fashionably dressed office workers would visit their little shop for sour and spicy noodles, which was a rarity before.
Realizing she might be too enthusiastic, she paused and didn’t continue to drag
Rong Yan into a long conversation. Holding back a smile, she asked the couple,
“Are you here for our sour and spicy noodles today, too?”
Li Shengxiao didn’t like noisy environments, which meant Rong Yan had to step up to handle the situation by herself. So she smiled, her eyes curving, and said cheerfully, “Yes, but it looks like there are no seats… I was just telling my boyfriend that we might come back another day.”
The landlady sneaked a glance at the tall and handsome man and clicked her tongue. With his elegant demeanor, he hardly looked like an ordinary person.
Where did this girl find such a dazzling boyfriend?
Had she been thirty years younger, wouldn’t she have blushed and become too flustered to speak after seeing such a remarkable man?
While she stole glances, she was past the age of girlish daydreams, and didn’t stare as intently as other young girls might. However, she still liked him a lot, so when she heard Rong Yan’s words, she promptly said, “Oh, you’re worried about seating. There’s a seat! That table outside will be leaving soon, I’ll clean the table for you, and you can sit there.”
“Really?” Rong Yan was overjoyed.
The landlady, full of generous spirit, assured them with a slap on her chest, “Of course it’s fine, absolutely fine.”
“But you might still have to wait for about ten minutes. If you’re bored, you can take a walk nearby. Check the time, and come back in about ten minutes. I’ll save the table for you!”
Rong Yan didn’t expect such good fortune and eagerly agreed, sweetly saying,
“Thank you, ma’am.”
As she pulled at the arm of her companion, she turned back and said, “Li Shengxiao, let’s go for a walk nearby, and come back here later.”
She was super tired today.
Dealing with a scumbag, bringing him food, recording a new song at the studio, and facing the shameless demands of the Rong Family, she was truly exhausted physically and emotionally.
Given her nature, she would have stayed put since the landlady said she would save them a seat; she’d rather wait in a corner on a stool than go out again. But he had drunk alcohol in the evening and didn’t like crowded places…
Remembering how he had tiredly set aside his work to introduce her to contacts in the circle that evening, Rong Yan suddenly regained energy. She lifted the corners of her mouth and, pulling him along, said, “Let’s go..”
