A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

A moment later, she led Lou Xiaobao out, her mind filled with doubts. Why did Yuan Huaixuan know her and even ask her to come to him in the middle of the night? He was so cold and ruthless, and it was the middle of the night. Could he be some kind of perverted killer?

The more Xin Moyan thought about it, the more goosebumps rose on her skin. Anyway, she hadn't agreed to that prince's proposal, and he had taken the bracelet. They should have nothing to do with each other from now on!

"Little Bao! You can't run around like that anymore!"

Lou Xiaobao tilted his little head up and said in a cute voice, "Mommy, Pot is so pretty~"

“Just because you’re pretty doesn’t mean you can just fawn over anyone,” she squatted down and patiently explained to him, “Let me tell you, the prettier a person is, the scarier they can be. Look at that guy just now, he looked fierce, he was obviously not a good person, and he even hit my head!”

Upon hearing this, someone felt extremely frustrated. Was he really that fierce or scary?

Meanwhile, Hua Buyu lay on the bed, unable to speak or move, only glaring fiercely at the man in front of her.

After a long while, Yuan Huaixuan slowly walked in from outside the door, his eyes filled with icy coldness as he looked at her, and signaled Liu Qing to release her speech acupoint.

"Hu~~"

She took a deep breath and then shouted, "Indecent assault! Help! Someone help me!"

His gaze turned cold, and he raised his hand to continue applying pressure points. Hua Buyu quickly pursed her red lips, indicating that she was muting herself.

Yuan Huaixuan stared at her face expressionlessly for a long time before slowly asking, "What are you and Xin Moyan doing here?"

Hua Buyu gestured towards him with her lips, implying that someone was still unable to move!

Liu Qing then stepped forward, pointed a finger, and released her pressure point.

She jumped out of bed in an instant and stretched in a very bold manner.

"Hey bro, what... what are you guys doing?"

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"Yan Yan and I came here to order tables and chairs, and that bitch Liu Qing carried us here!"

"..."

Hua Buyu grew angrier as she spoke, and suddenly rushed forward and slapped Liu Qing hard on the back of the head.

"I'm warning you, if you ever treat me this rudely again, I'll make you regret it."

Liu Qing covered her head and glared at her coldly.

What kind of tables and chairs are you making?

"It's just tables and chairs! Let me go back first, Yan Yan will be worried if she can't find me."

Hua Buyu ignored Yuan Huaixuan's gaze and was about to walk out of the room when Liu Qing stopped her.

"What are you doing!"

"Do you know who did it when Xin Moyan was abducted to the west of the city that day?"

"how could I know?"

Yuan Huaixuan's eyes darkened slightly. Seeing her puzzled expression, he said, "Go back. She won't be able to find you."

Hua Buyu gave him a disdainful look. He couldn't even explain himself clearly. But since she had been kidnapped by Liu Qing for so long, Yan Yan must be looking for her everywhere. She had to go back first.

"I'm leaving now. I'll talk to you about this again when I have time."

The moment she stepped out the door, a stern warning voice rang in her ears.

"Don't cause trouble, don't lead her astray."

"Alright, alright!"

Hua Buyu waved his hand behind him and disappeared in a flash.

"Your Highness, what's next?"

"Have Junjing Pavilion cooperate with them."

"Yes!"

As soon as Hua Buyu ran out the door, she rushed downstairs to find the two of them. She only told them that she got lost after using the restroom. Xin Moyan didn't dare to mention that the aloof prince was also there.

The two handed the pre-drawn blueprints to the tardy shopkeeper, who said he could make the style they wanted and guaranteed it would be completed within three days. Only then did they quickly leave Junjing Pavilion with Lou Xiaobao to avoid running into that person again.

Over the next three days, they were busy, taking Lou Xiaobao back and forth between the milk tea shop and Yunxianglou, keeping an eye on the renovations and taking stock of the materials to be purchased. Yunxianglou had already prepared all the materials, just waiting to be delivered to the new store at any time.

The young man and the older man worked quickly, clearing the middle wall in just two days. Now the space looks much more spacious. Based on their ideas, they used various color-mixing materials to paint the four walls in pastel colors. At first glance, it does have a modern feel.

Xin Moyan wanted the whole shop to look even brighter, ideally as bright as day, so she asked Hongluan to find two pairs of octagonal glass palace lanterns in the General's Mansion warehouse. The light reflected by the white transparent glass was indeed extraordinary. One pair was hung above the workbench, and the other pair was hung in the rest area. After all, they were for the imperial court, and the complicated and intricate decorations made the whole shop look more luxurious and high-class.

On the third day, the tables and chairs from Junjing Pavilion were delivered. According to their requirements, six small round tables, two long tables for four to six people, and several chairs were made. The chairs were not the traditional four-legged ones, but three-legged ones, with a round seat on top. They were very simple. The workbench was an extra-long corner table with multiple cabinets underneath for storing raw materials.

With the addition of the three thousand bamboo tubes and five thousand bamboo pipes that Yuan Huaize sent yesterday afternoon, the setup is basically complete. Hua Buyu also set up an insulated space next to the workbench, with two extra-large wooden boxes inside to store ice.

Everything was ready, except for the materials. They found a few maids and servants in the general's mansion and planned to teach them how to make milk tea so that they could work as employees in the milk tea shop. They would be hired on a base salary plus commission basis. The servants found this very unbelievable, as they only ever received a monthly allowance. What was commission?

There's one last thing left to arrange: the name of the milk tea shop. Xin Moyan and Hua Buyu have been thinking about it for a long time, but haven't been able to decide on a suitable name.

In the back garden of the General's Mansion, the two sat facing each other, chins in their hands, with Lou Xiaobao being led by Cailian to swing on a swing.

"Silent Words, what do you think is a good name for the shop?"

"You add 'Yan' (beauty), I'll add 'Yu' (eloquence), I've got it!" Hua Buyu slapped her thigh instantly. "How about we call it Hua Yan Qiao Yu (Hua Beauty and Clever Words)?"

"This is ancient times, wouldn't sweet talk be too frivolous?"

"Hmm~ then, 'no words, no expressions'?"

"..."

Xin Moyan didn't speak, but instead a lewd male voice came from behind her.

"Am I not decent enough? You're so unoriginal, pretty girl."

The two turned to look at Lou Shenghan. After his serious illness, his refined and scholarly appearance appeared even thinner.

"Lou Shenghan, are you looking for a beating?"

Ignoring Hua Buyu's grumbling, he looked up and shouted loudly at the child in the distance, "Lou Xiaobao!"

Lou Xiaobao's eyes lit up when he saw his father after not seeing him for many days. He hurriedly asked Cailian to carry him down and ran straight towards the group with his short little legs.

"Father!"

He instantly threw himself into his father's arms, his little hands wrapped around his neck, and asked sweetly, "Daddy, are you not going to poop anymore?"
