"Sister Gao, do you really like my third brother?" Shen Li asked nervously.

Gao Ruxin was stunned by the question, as if she had never thought about this question before. She pondered for a moment and said, "What do you mean? My father entrusted me to him. It's called entrustment, but in fact it's a promise to him. He also agreed, so we will naturally get married in the future."

Shen Li saw that she didn't seem to understand and had some misunderstandings. She thought they were going to regret it, so she hurriedly explained, "Sister Gao, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. Third Brother definitely didn't want to regret it. We are both women, so we naturally understand better. Have you ever thought about it? If Third Brother hadn't saved you, and if your father hadn't entrusted you, would you still want to marry him?"

"I... I don't know. After my father died, I have no relatives in this world. I am the only one left. I don't know how to live. If it weren't for your third brother, I might not even have the courage to live."

Hearing this, Shen Li stepped on the table twice, but did not show anything on his face: "Sister Gao, you like doing business. Now that the store is open, you can help me manage it from now on."

Gao Ruxin's words made it impossible for her to continue the conversation. Although she said that she could not live without her third brother, Shen Li still felt that she only had inherent ideas about her third brother, thinking that he should marry her just because he saw her body, and that he was dependent on her. As for love, she really did not feel it.

"But I don't know anything, and I'm afraid I can't do it well." Gao Ruxin said with some concern.

Although she said so, Shen Li still saw the desire to try in her eyes: "It's okay, you can learn if you don't know how, it's not difficult, you can ask me if you have any questions, and Cao Qin can also help you. By the way, does Sister Gao know how to do accounting?"

"I don't understand, but I'm good at math."

Shen Li smiled and said, "Well, then I'll find an accountant to teach you how to do accounting. You will be in charge of the store's accounts from now on."

"Okay, I will study hard."

Gao Ruxin seemed confused about her own feelings, or perhaps she didn't want to figure them out. In that case, Shen Li couldn't say much. If he wanted to help them, he could only take it slow.

The matter of the store has been settled. Then, Shen Li will go to the remaining six counties with Luo Qi to see the specific situation. Of the five counties that Luo Qi visited, two ended in failure, and although the other three were normal, they were only visited once and were not publicized.

She also plans to visit the remaining six counties first and then carry out further publicity.

"Third brother, come in for a moment." Shen Li shouted outside.

After a while, Shen Xing came in: "What's the matter?"

"The store will be handed over to Sister Gao from now on. It's inconvenient for her to live with Sister Ye. I also want to go to the county below. What do you think we should do?"

"Then why don't you stay at my place, Miss Gao? That small courtyard is in the city, not far from here, so there shouldn't be any major danger."

"You live with Sister Gao?" Shen Li asked uncertainly.

"What are you thinking about? Of course I'm going to the county with you to sell ointment." Shen Xing said unhappily.

"Oh, Sister Gao, I'll let Cao Qin live with you. It'll be good for her to have company."

Gao Ruxin nodded: "Okay."

As it was getting close to evening, they closed the shop and returned to the Huanhai Sect.

Shen Li specially called Shen Xing over as well. She felt that he should thank Ye Muyu and say goodbye to her briefly. It would be even better if they could talk it out.

When they were almost at the door of the room, the group saw Ye Muyu.

"Sister Ye, I have something to tell you." Shen Li said.

Several people greeted Ye Muyu and left.

Only Shen Li and Shen Xing were left.

Ye Muyu glanced at Shen Xing before asking Shen Li, "What's the matter?"

"Tomorrow I will go to the county with my third brother to sell perfumed ointment. I am saying goodbye to you. Sister Gao will move to my third brother's small courtyard because I have handed over all the matters in the shop to her. This will be more convenient and save you from having to send things back and forth all the time."

"So when will you be back? Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, we have Third Brother and Luo Qi. Even after we leave, the store still needs you to take care of it. After all, there are only Cao Qin and Sister Gao, and neither of them knows martial arts."

In fact, although Nanzhou is in chaos, ordinary businessmen will not be in any danger as long as they do not offend anyone, and ordinary people in the underworld will not cause trouble.

He felt it was dangerous before because there were fights and duels everywhere when setting up a stall on the street, and he was afraid of being accidentally injured or harmed, so he felt it was dangerous. But Shen Li has been here for such a long time that he is familiar with these things. Now that he doesn't have to set up a stall on the street, it is naturally safe.

"I will, don't worry." Ye Muyu said.

Shen Li glanced at Shen Xing beside him, and then said, "Sister Ye, Third Brother is here to say goodbye to you as well."

Ye Muyu glanced at Shen Xing and said nothing.

Shen Xing didn't know what to say, but seeing Shen Li's eyes wanting him to speak, he finally spoke: "Mu Yu, I will go with Ali later. She has been living with you for some time, which has caused you a lot of trouble. Thank you very much."

Shen Li really wanted to roll his eyes. Isn't this just making conversation?

"I've already said it, it's not because of you. Ali and I are friends, you don't need to thank me."

Expected to be criticized.

"Third brother, don't you have anything else to say to Sister Ye?" Shen Li reminded.

"Muyu, after we leave, Miss Gao, please take care of me."

As soon as Shen Xing said this, Shen Li said in his heart: It's over.

"I have already promised Ali that I would take care of her. You don't need to say it again, Shen Xing. I want to remind you that she is your responsibility, not mine. I don't owe you anything. I promised Ali this time, but in the future, you have to take care of your people yourself." Ye Muyu said coldly.

Shen Xing froze: "I know, I have caused you trouble, I won't trouble you again."

Shen Li didn't know what to say. She originally wanted to leave and let them talk alone, but Shen Xing talked for a long time without getting to the point and kept jumping around in minefields. Seeing that the conversation between the two of them had broken down again, how could she leave with peace of mind in this situation?

"Sister Ye, Third Brother didn't mean that. He wanted to say that he just felt responsible towards Sister Gao and there was no romantic relationship between them. You know he likes you." Shen Li said clearly.

Ye Muyu sneered, "Oh, so what? He's still going to marry Gao Ruxin, isn't he? Ah Li, I originally thought that as long as we don't give up, we still have a chance and we'll always find a way. But that day, when I saw how concerned he was about Gao Ruxin, I suddenly realized that maybe it's fine this way. Even if he doesn't like her now, he can slowly fall in love with her after we get married. Why should I be stuck in the middle and make things difficult for him?"
