Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Song Huai hurried over here, and Song Bai quickly stepped forward and stopped him with his hand.

Seeing Song Huai trying to take a detour, Song Bai said calmly, "Miss Ji is here too."

Upon hearing this, Song Huai turned his head to look at Song Bai, speechless.

Are we still good brothers? Couldn't you have told me earlier that Miss Ji was coming? If you had said that from the beginning, would I have still rushed forward?

Originally, Song Bai was the only one guarding here, but now the two of them were staring at each other, standing there motionless.

After a long time, there was still no sign of Song Jinbai coming out. Song Huai signaled to Song Bai with his eyes: Go and remind the adults.

Song Bai wasn't a fool. He rushed back home before dawn and came straight to Miss Ji without even going home. The two of them finally got to talk, and if he interrupted them at this time, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

He rolled his eyes at Song Huai and rejected him with his eyes: Don't use me as a gun!

Song Huai glared back: You want to compete with me?

After a round of silent communication between the two, Song Bai finally ended up admitting defeat.

Helplessly, Song Bai had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and approached the carriage. He knocked twice on the wall as a reminder, "Sir, Song Huai has something to report."

After saying that, he winked at Song Huai.

Hehe, everyone knows how to play tricks!

If you can push me out, I will take you with me when I am punished!

Good brothers, let’s shoulder the difficulties together!

Song Huai: ...My hands are itching again!

After gnashing his teeth secretly for a while, Song Huai respectfully reported, "Sir, everyone in the Xu Mansion has been imprisoned. Xu Tongzhi is clamoring in the cell to see you, sir."

Three words were faintly heard from the carriage.

"understood."

Before he could say a few words to the person he liked, something came to him and he was unhappy. The smile on his face disappeared.

"Go and do what you need, Lord Song!" Ji Nuan wanted to laugh.

She took Song Jinbai's hand and opened it, wanting to coax him, and put a bright red strawberry in his palm.

"Try it. If you like it, I'll prepare more for you next time."

Song Jinbai looked down at the bright red fruit in his palm. The haze in his heart was instantly swept away and a smile returned to his face again.

Seeing this, Ji Nuan stood up and prepared to leave. Before opening the curtain, she smiled and reminded him, "Remember to use the ointment I gave you. Don't leave any blemishes on such a handsome face."

Looking at the gently swaying car curtain, Song Jinbai couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, his heart filled with the sweetness that Ji Nuan had just given him.

Ji He has been learning how to run a shop at Xunwei Ju for several days. Ji Nuan decided to go for lunch and see how he is doing.

As soon as I stepped into the lobby, I saw that the restaurant was still packed with customers and bustling with activity. The waiters were busy shuttling between the customers, serving dishes and tea.

Seeing that Ji He had just arranged a table for guests, Ji Nuan shouted to him, "Hey, is there any room left?"

Ji He turned around and asked in surprise, "Little sister, why are you here?"

Ji Nuan pretended not to know him, treating herself as a mere customer, and said seriously, "Of course I'm here to eat. Buddy, find me a place!"

Seeing this, Ji He had no choice but to resume his waiter's welcoming attitude and smiled as he led Ji Nuan to the private room upstairs. After tea was served and the dishes were ordered, Ji Nuan pulled out three or four copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to Ji He, saying, "Good service, these are a reward for you!"

Ji He was immediately amused when he saw this, and pretended to be angry and said, "Hey, girl..."

"What's wrong? Just now you were respectfully calling me 'honored guest', but now you're calling me 'you little girl'? Do you look down on me because I gave you too little reward?" Ji Nuan deliberately put on a playful look, her eyes flashing with a cunning light, and she raised a playful smile.

Seeing that his little sister was being naughty again, Ji He shook his head helplessly. He had to cooperate with her and said with a smile: "Hey, thank you for the tip! I'll go to the kitchen to order the menu." After that, he turned around and prepared to go out.

Seeing Ji He working as a waiter in a very professional manner, Ji Nuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyes full of pride and satisfaction.

Ji He turned around and glared at her angrily, saying, "You little girl, still laughing! I'm going to go back and tell my mother, and you're making fun of me again."

Just as he was about to leave, Mr. He, the shopkeeper from Xunweiju, walked in. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile.

"It's really interesting to see the Dong family get along with their family."

Ji Nuan also laughed: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Manager He. I just wanted to test how well Second Brother has learned."

Shopkeeper He praised Ji He's performance highly: "The Second Young Master has only been here for a few days, but he's already adept at greeting customers and solving common problems. I believe it won't be long before he can become a good shopkeeper."

After hearing this, Ji Nuan nodded with satisfaction. As a young woman, she was acting like a mother: "That's good. If there are any shortcomings, I hope Manager He will pay more attention to them."

Shopkeeper He bowed and assured, "Don't worry, Boss. You can hand your brother over to me, which means you trust me. I will do my best to live up to your trust."

Ji Nuan smiled and said, "Leave it to Shopkeeper He, I will definitely rest assured!"

At this moment, there was a commotion downstairs, as if some distinguished guest had arrived. Ji Nuan and Shopkeeper He both noticed the noise.

Shopkeeper He thought that the waiter downstairs was entertaining him, and since it was a rare occasion for the boss to come to Xunweiju, he respectfully asked, "What would you like to eat today? I'll prepare it right away."

Ji Nuan was a considerate and considerate boss. She never liked to put on airs or cause trouble for others. So, she waved her hand and said, "It's dinner time now. Manager He, go and do your work. I've already ordered the food, so you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Shopkeeper He bowed again and said, "Old He will excuse me first. If the boss needs anything, please tell the staff to go and help."

Ji Nuan smiled and nodded, motioning him to get busy.

After Shopkeeper He left, Ji Nuan walked to the window, which faced Xinghua Lane, a residential area.

Every household was having lunch when a figure sneaked out of the alley. He looked around for a while, as if he was avoiding someone and seeking revenge. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he slipped away.

Ji Nuan stared at the furtive figure. At first, she felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't place who he was. When the man began to stroll with his characteristic unruly pace, Ji Nuan suddenly realized, hey, isn't this Ji He's husband Zhang Qinghu!
