The stunning husband is in love, but she flirts and runs away

Chapter 24: Being Stared at with a Fierce Look

Unexpectedly, after seeing the matcha cake, Shopkeeper Qian tasted a piece and nodded: "This cake tastes really good!"

He immediately decided that he would take all the cakes that Miss Lin brought.

Lin Acai was delighted to see this happen. After receiving the money, she was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by the shopkeeper Qian:

"Ms. Lin, wait...wait! You haven't said when you'll deliver the goods next time."

Lin Acai thought for a moment and said, "Manager Qian, I'll come back the day after tomorrow. Do you think this is feasible?"

She has to go to the tea garden to pick some tea leaves tomorrow, so the earliest she can go will be the day after tomorrow.

Shopkeeper Qian thought for a while and gritted his teeth, "Okay! Miss Lin must come. I can't break my promise."

With his many years of experience in running a shop, he is sure that this pastry will be in short supply once it is launched.

To be on the safe side, he had to set the price of this pastry a little higher, at least to be on par with the most popular pastries in his store.

Seeing that Manager Qian was so anxious, Lin Acai immediately became active:

"Manager Qian... To be honest, it's not easy for me to go into town. My family doesn't have a bullock cart. Even if we did, I, a girl, wouldn't be able to drive one.

You don’t know, I was so nervous while escorting this box of pastries, fearing that it would be snatched away by hooligans on the road.”

After Lin Acai finished speaking, she sighed and frowned.

Shopkeeper Qian looked Lin Acai up and down, his sympathy overflowing:

"This is the way the world is these days... It's hard for a little girl like you. How about this? You don't have to come and deliver the goods in person the day after tomorrow. I'll send someone to drive a horse-drawn carriage to your house to pick them up."

"that would be great."

As a result, Lin Acai thanked the chef profusely and left the pastry shop very satisfied.

The first time he saw Xiao Jue, he shook the heavy bag of money in his hand.

"Brother Xiao, guess how much money is in my purse?"

Listening to Miss Lin's cheerful and complacent laughter, Xiao Jue knew that she must have made a lot of money from these two boxes of pastries.

In order to make her happy, he pretended to be stupid: "You didn't sell me for a tael of silver, did you?"

Lin Acai was indeed arrogant. "Tsk! You want me to sell all these cakes for two taels of silver? How is that possible?"

Then, she put the silver in her arms and whispered to Xiao Xiao's ear: "I'm telling you, it's five taels of silver..."

Are you surprised?

Is it surprising???

The sweet and charming voice that is unique to a young girl hit Xiao Xiao's eardrums.

While he secretly admired her ability, his heart inadvertently skipped a beat.

Being so close to her, the way she whispered to him looked so familiar.

His thoughts suddenly went back to last night.

She also whispered softly in his ear.

"...Are you surprised by my popular pastries?" Seeing that someone didn't respond for a long time, Lin Acai immediately teased.

"...Miss Lin is smart and capable. I am not surprised at all that the cakes she makes are so well-received by the shopkeeper."

Finally, Xiao Jue recovered and spoke without hesitation, praising him from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Acai was very proud: "Let's go! Since we are already in town, let's go for a stroll before going back. It's still early anyway, as long as we get home before dark."

Xiao Jue's face paused when he heard this...

In fact, he had some concerns and didn't want to stay in this town for long, but he couldn't bear to reject Miss Lin's kindness, so he nodded and agreed to her the next second.

Lin Acai was in a very good mood today, so she walked briskly around the Yaohe Town market.

Everything she saw was curious, especially when she came to a stall selling children's odds and ends, she just squatted down.

He picked up and put down things one by one, with a bright smile on his face.

Xiao Jue had been following her all the time, and although he didn't say a word, he watched her every move.

I couldn't help but think that Miss Lin really likes children.

I wonder how many children they will have in the future?

And their first child...

Will it be a boy or a girl?

If I had a girl, would she look more like her?

"Brother Xiao...it's so late, you must be starving, right?"

Lin Acai walked to a jewelry stall, stared at a peculiar and exquisite hairpin for a long time, then couldn't help but turned back to look at Brother Xiao and asked guiltily.

"It's okay... I'm not hungry. Could it be that Miss Lin is hungry?" Xiao Jue wanted to refuse, but suddenly realized that Miss Lin didn't seem to have eaten anything after walking around for so long.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go buy some herbs first, and then we'll go have a bowl of wontons!" After Lin Acai said that, she walked towards the stall selling herbs opposite.

She bought a lot of herbs.

She wanted to keep some to make purses, and use the rest to fumigate mosquitoes in the house at night.

While she was bargaining with the stall owner, she didn't notice that Brother Xiao had already walked to the hairpin she had put down, picked it up and handed it to the stall owner:

"Please wrap this hairpin for me and keep it. I will come to pick it up in twenty days."

"You want to come get it?"

The stall owner was obviously embarrassed, so he reminded her: "This hairpin is worth three taels of silver. If you come to take it, I will charge you five taels..."

Seeing that Xiao Jue didn't object, he continued to explain: "After all, there is only one hairpin of this style and design. If it is liked by other customers, do you think I should sell it or not?"

"Don't worry...as long as you keep it for me, I will buy it for ten taels of silver in twenty days!"

"Ten taels of silver?" The stall owner looked shocked.

Decided to take a gamble for ten taels of silver.

So he changed his tone: "Okay! No problem, I will definitely keep it for you."

As he spoke, he wrapped the hairpin separately and put it into the wooden box beside him.

"Hey man...what are you talking about with the stall owner?" Lin Acai had already walked over with herbs in her hand, and couldn't help but ask when she saw the stall owner with a smile on his face.

"Oh, nothing much, just some chat about family matters." Xiao Jue said, taking the vanilla from Lin Acai's hand and placing it on the cart.

Then the two of them chose a wonton stall, sat down, and ordered two servings of wontons.

"Waiter! Give me some more chili and cilantro!" Lin Acai shouted to the waiter who was busy cleaning the dishes, then stared at Xiao Xiao and asked, "What about you? Do you want some chili and cilantro too?"

Xiao Jue shook his head upon hearing this.

He doesn't like spicy food. Once he eats spicy food, his face will break out in acne. He doesn't want Miss Lin to see him with a red face full of acne.

After the two finished eating the wontons, Lin Acai stood up to pay the bill, but at this moment she turned her head and saw two men at the next table, who had been secretly glancing at her Xiao Xiaoge.

The two men were dressed in coarse cloth and had fierce looks on their faces. Lin Acai also noticed that there was a thick layer of calluses on the hands that were holding the chopsticks.

They don't look like ordinary farmers at all.

It's more like someone who holds a knife or sword all day long.

Lin Acai was shocked when she thought of this.

Why are they keeping their eyes on Brother Xiao?

Could it be that they also noticed the unique temperament of Brother Xiao that was different from that of ordinary people?

Or...she accidentally showed off her wealth and caught the attention of these two men?

How can this be good?

Think about the five taels of silver that she hadn't even warmed up in her hand yet.

Lin Acai thinks the latter is more likely.

These two people must be planning how to deal with them!

Thinking of this, the two men with fierce eyes suddenly looked at her.

She quickly turned her face away, pretending nothing had happened, and took the change handed over by the wonton stall owner.
