"Yeah. That means Xiaotao still has me in her heart. She saw me at first sight." Chu Huanjun nodded with satisfaction.

Although Tao Yao despised Chu Huanjun's arrogant words, she still felt a little happy when she heard them. She looked at Chu Huanjun for a few times. He seemed haggard after not seeing him for a few days, and there were two faint dark circles under his eyes.

"Why……"

As soon as Chu Huanjun opened his mouth, Tao Yao guessed what he wanted to ask and hurriedly interrupted him, saying sternly, "Don't ask why the shop is called this name!"

"Oh..." Chu Huanjun didn't expect her reaction to be so big. In fact, he could guess that the name Huantao Pavilion was probably not chosen by Tao Yao herself, and it must be Cheng Tianshui who interfered.

However, Chu Huanjun did not expect Tao Yao to care so much about this matter - she is now in charge and her own boss, so changing the sign is not a difficult matter, but she still took Cheng Tianshui's face into consideration, and even though she was reluctant, she still hung up the sign obediently.

Needless to say, Chu Huanjun was secretly happy in his heart.

"Did you receive the thing?" Tao Yao asked.

Chu Huanjun pretended to be confused and asked, "What is it?"

Tao Yao frowned. "These are the things I asked my porter to bring to you! They're nothing special, just that white jade porcelain box and your clothes. You were so careless and didn't pack carefully, so you left them here. I spent fifty coins to send them back to you."

She very deliberately emphasized the words "fifty cents". As she spoke, she spread out her palm in front of Chu Huanjun and shook it, indicating that he should buy on credit.

Chu Huanjun smiled knowingly and cooperated by pulling out a shiny ingot of silver from his waist bag. He gently placed it in Tao Yao's palm and said softly, "No need for change."

Tao Yao smiled with satisfaction, carefully put the silver into her pocket, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Boss Chu!"

Chu Huanjun fanned himself, yawned lazily, and said slowly, "Your shop is doing very well... I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've transformed from a little beggar into a big boss. Not bad, not bad, you're quite capable."

Tao Yao raised his head proudly and said, "I'm quite smart in business. If you want to learn, you might as well become my apprentice. But I'll charge tuition!"

Chu Huanjun couldn't help but give her a brain slap: "You've only been doing business for a few days, and you're already thinking about how to cheat people out of their money? What? Are you obsessed with money?"

"Yes! I'm obsessed with money!" Tao Yao shook the bulging purse in her hand. The silver and copper coins in the purse jingled and made a crisp sound, which sounded very pleasant. "Only when I have money in my hands do I realize how useful money is."

Seeing Tao Yao's happiness, Chu Huanjun's face also lit up, and he laughed with her: "In that case, then you should run this business well. As for this shop... I'll consider it a gift to you."

Tao Yao glanced at him warily, then immediately clutched her wallet tightly, shouting, "You weren't planning to buy the shop back, were you?!... But this shop is yours to begin with. When I make enough money in the future, I'll return the principal to you. Tell me, how much do you want to sell this shop for?"

Chu Huanjun's lips had just touched, and before he could utter a single word, Tao Yao hurriedly added, "I have to remind you that the location of this shop isn't very good. There's no water in front and no mountains behind. The only people who come to buy goods here are residents of Qingshui Town. The feng shui is average, and the business scope is limited. It's already great that someone is willing to take over this shop, don't you think..."

Chu Huanjun smiled, raised his fingers and made an "eight" gesture, interrupting her and saying, "Eight hundred gold."

"Eight hundred gold?!" Tao Yao's jaw nearly dropped. "If I remember correctly, you only spent six hundred and sixty gold to buy this shop, right? Second-hand items should at least be discounted, right? How can it be that the price keeps getting higher as it's sold?"

As soon as she asked this question, Tao Yao suddenly realized that Chu Huanjun was a very cunning and scoundrel, and it was simply a fantasy to reason with him.

Chu Huanjun stroked his chin, his eyes curved with a smile as he surveyed the bustling Huantao Pavilion before him. "Who says this shop isn't good? I see your business is so prosperous now, how can you say it's bad? Since it's good and can help Mr. Xiaotao's business take it to the next level, you get what you pay for. So what's wrong with me selling it at a higher price?"

"You are changing the concept...you are going too far!" Tao Yao scolded.

Chu Huanjun curled his lips into a sly smile, like a fox about to do something bad. He said, "However, you don't have to spend eight hundred gold to buy this shop. I have another condition..."

At this moment, a long cry suddenly came from the sky. Tao Yao looked up and saw a falcon circling over her head.

She felt a stir in her heart, and suddenly had a premonition. She looked around quickly, and suddenly saw a man in black standing alone in the crowd. The man was much taller than the crowd and was looking at her from a distance.

Seeing her looking at him, the man took off the veil covering his face and smiled.

It’s Lu Che.

Without a second thought, Tao Yao abandoned Chu Huanjun and dashed towards Lu Che. Chu Huanjun hadn't finished the rest of his sentence yet, staring blankly at her as she happily ran off without even a glance back.

A gust of wind blew at this moment, and Chu Huanjun suddenly felt a chill. His body was cold, and his heart was even colder.

But he quickly consoled himself - it's okay, it's not the first time I've encountered this kind of situation. So he smiled casually and followed Tao Yao forward.

"Lu Che!"

Tao Yao, like a lively little rabbit, quickly pounced in front of Lu Che and grabbed his sleeve.

Lu Che also smiled and held her wrist. All their actions were so skillful and natural, as if they were back to the Flower God Temple Fair. They lived in a small room in the inn, eating and playing every day, and whenever there was something happy and fun, they would think of each other first.

Warm sunlight shone on his body. Lu Che looked at Tao Yao's smiling face and was in a trance for a moment. He almost thought that nothing had happened, nothing had changed, and they were back to the way they were before.

"Lu Che, why are you here? Have you finished your work over there?"

Tao Yao smiled innocently. As she spoke, she paused and asked, "Your Pavilion Master won't blame you for coming to see me, right?"

Lu Che's heart suddenly trembled three times - although the sunlight today was so similar to that of the past, making people mistakenly think that they had returned to the past, those things actually happened.
