"Come with me."

Lin Acai invited the driver into the house. When the driver saw the four pots of pastries, he didn't even have time to breathe and immediately started to load them onto the cart.

After all the cakes were loaded onto the cart, the driver followed Manager Qian's instructions and handed over the fifteen taels of silver for the four pots of cakes to Lin Acai.

Lin Acai was a little confused when she saw the obviously extra five taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, the driver understood immediately and explained, "Shopkeeper Qian said that the young lady's cakes are very popular, and he raised the price from the previous price. So he gave the young lady an additional five taels of silver for the ten taels he promised you in advance. In the future, he will pay the young lady the silver on time according to the increased price."

I have to say that the driver that Manager Qian found was really excellent in his work. He explained Lin Acai's doubts clearly in just a few words.

Moreover, Lin Acai felt that Manager Qian was no ordinary person and was very particular about what he did.

What a piece of shit luck.

The first pastry shop owner I met was so easy to talk to.

After seeing off the driver who brought the cakes, Lin Acai happily put away the thirty taels of silver she had saved with great difficulty.

She was smiling triumphantly when she suddenly caught sight of the box of rouge that she had bought for no reason at the cost of five taels of silver.

She looked at the quality. Although it was the best stuff here, it was not comparable to the cosmetics in her bedroom.

Why did she buy this junk?

It’s so depressing just looking at it!

No, these things were bought because of those men in black, and those men in black were obviously led here by Brother Xiao. That means she can put the money for this box of rouge into Brother Xiao's account.

I have to say that Lin Acai's ideas are so unique.

Thinking of this, her heart, which had been weighing on her neck, instantly felt relieved.

But, would this person think she is stingy?

What the hell are you thinking about?

Do his thoughts matter?

The most important thing right now is to collect the one hundred taels of silver as soon as possible.

Maybe with these extra five taels of silver, I can rent a more suitable store.

After this round of brainwashing, Lin Acai became much more shameless when she went to Xiao Jue to ask for money.

"Brother Xiao, after thinking it over, I think it's more appropriate for you to pay the five taels of silver. However, I'm not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of small things. Keep this box of rouge worth five taels of silver. When you find a girl you like and marry her, take it out and give it to her. I believe she will like it and will look at you differently."

"...Ms. Lin, what gives you the right to order me to give this rouge to another woman?" Xiao Jue had a cold face. The more he looked at the box of rouge, the more ridiculous he found it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Acai didn't care: "Brother Xiao, if you don't give this thing to a woman...are you going to use it yourself???"

"You..." Xiao Jue was so angry that he couldn't even open his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Lin Acai was good at stabbing people in the heart. She suddenly added, "It really works. Look at your face. It's more enchanting than a woman's. You will look much better with rouge on."

"I don't wear rouge! Take it! Here you go!"

Yanzhi was thrown in front of Lin Acai with disgust, and rolled around.

She was neither anxious nor annoyed, she picked it up slowly and reminded him: "Since Xiao Xiao doesn't want it, I will keep it for you. You can come and get it whenever you want. But I have to make it clear to you first, these five taels of silver must be recorded in your account."

After saying that, Lin Acai took out the small notebook for accounting in front of Xiao Jue.

After recording the bill, he did not stay for long and left in a hurry.

She was in a good mood today. Aunt Li didn't come to see her, so she wanted to go and ask for the address of the family in the county town who wanted to see a doctor.

By dinner time, Xiao Jue's worries about the five taels of silver had not yet dissipated.

In fact, five taels of silver was insignificant to him and could be completely ignored.

What he really cared about was the box of rouge.

She actually asked him to give the rouge to another woman.

She pushed him towards other women.

It means that she doesn't care about him at all.

Thinking of this, he had no appetite at all. His chest and stomach were both filled with anxiety.

"Brother Xiao...you have to eat more today. Eating more will make you more energetic! You will have more energy..."

Lin Acai was talking nonsense while picking up the food. When she came to her senses, Xiao Jue was already glaring at her.

Her face was as red as a monkey's butt.

Quickly trying to make up for it: "...It means...eating more leeks is good for your health."

“…Ms. Lin…you really know a lot!” Brother Xiao was obviously unhappy again.

Why does it get darker the more I look?

How embarrassing!

Xiao Jue: "Don't worry, I don't need to eat and I'm in good health!"

"..."

Lin Acai paused with her chopsticks and said, "Well, I can eat more..."

What kind of socially deadly conversations are these?

She dug a hole in the ground and crawled in...

I didn't expect that this man, who looked harmless and ignorant, was just like other men and would never admit to others that he was not good in that aspect.

"Ms. Lin, what is wrong with me that you don't like? How come you don't have any feelings for me at all?"

After forcing himself to wait until the two little rascals left the table, Xiao Jue finally couldn't help but ask his own questions.

He was really troubled by the matter of Yanzhi.

"Brother Xiao...don't get excited. This question is quite profound and cannot be explained in a few words."

Please allow me to organize my language and write it for you!

Lin Acai cleared her throat in a mysterious manner, and Xiao Jue waited for what to say next very seriously.

As a result, I heard her suddenly say indifferently: "Give me some time, I will tell you tomorrow when I have thought it through..."

"..."

What does this Miss Lin mean?

Was this a subtle way of rejecting him?

Are you afraid that he won't accept it, so you reject him tactfully?

Deep in the soul.

Xiao Jue’s heart.

It's so cool...

"Brother Xiao... I still have things to prepare. Take your time eating. I'll clean up after you finish eating."

After saying these words, Lin Acai left in a hurry.

In Xiao Jue's eyes, that was...

Deliberately avoid and flee!

And he sat there, thinking how ridiculous he could be.

But the truth was that Lin Acai found a deserted place and sneaked into the space to take a shower.

Because of making pastries yesterday, she missed a precious opportunity, and she must make up for it today.

So she had already made up her mind that she would go find that good-looking young man Xiao as soon as possible and try to get him to cooperate with her and work harder.

After leaving the space, Lin Acai saw Xiao Jue still lingering in front of the table, absent-minded and unwilling to leave.

I couldn't help but persuade him: "Brother Xiao, are you tired? Why are you so haggard? Why don't you rest early and replenish your energy."

Xiao Jue raised his head unhappily: "Do you dislike my being an eyesore here? Do you want to chase me away?"

Lin Acai held her forehead helplessly, with a look of sorrow on her face: "How is this possible? I... just couldn't bear to see you look so haggard, but you misinterpreted my meaning like this..."

Lin Acai looked so delicate and pitiful that Xiao Jue felt so hot inside.

it's over... it's over...

The voice in the dream came again!
