Chapter 582 The Master's Successor

Chapter 586 Ye Shao Personally Sees His Future Wife Working

Ye Shenge's attempts to persuade Gou Han to stay were in vain. Those who worked or studied at home also gradually returned.

"Mom, I was great today!"

"Really? You look thinner, little darling. If you keep practicing, you'll be as slender as your dance teacher."

"Will I be as beautiful as Mom?"

"Much more beautiful than Mom."

"Okay, I'll definitely stick with it."

Ye Shenge smiled and ruffled her daughter's hair. She had heard such promises many times before.

Zi Yisheng noticed his wife's unusual mood as soon as he got home. He understood her better than she understood herself, but he didn't ask directly. He would ask others later.

After dinner, it was Zi Yisheng's usual time to stroll with his wife in the yard. But today, he took her out.

"Why are we going out for a walk?"

"Aren't you curious about the progress between Qu Huanhuan and my elder brother? I sent people to investigate, so why don't we go and see for ourselves? We can also visit the night market outside Mingcheng University."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known there would be snacks for an extra meal, I would have eaten less at dinner."

"It's okay. We'll get off the car halfway and walk. By the time we get there, our stomachs will have some room."

Ye Shenge smiled and nodded. Her last experience eating snacks in Chenghai City was still vivid. She wondered if the snacks in Mingcheng now could compare to those in Chenghai.

It was already July, and the weather was so hot that even the breeze offered no coolness.

"Mingcheng University will have its summer vacation soon, won't it?"

"Yes, in about ten days."

"Then where will the snack stalls move to?"

"They won't move. The residents near the university have gotten used to the snack stalls. Even without students, they can still manage."

The car stopped halfway. Since it wasn't the main road, streetlights hadn't been installed here yet.

"The municipal government needs to strengthen its infrastructure. Mingcheng is the capital and a showcase. At least every road should have streetlights."

"Yes, it's already in planning. The main issue is that we're not wealthy enough, so we can only proceed step by step."

In about half an hour, they reached Mingcheng University. Many people were heading towards the snack street from all directions, browsing for fun and passing the time, whether they intended to eat or not.

Asen and nearly ten other people surrounded them, front and back, left and right, trying to appear inconspicuous, like just a group of people out for a stroll.

"Are you hungry now?"

"Not yet. I drank the half bowl of soup your daughter left today."

"Then let's wait a bit longer."

Just as Ye Shenge was looking around happily, she suddenly stopped, finding it hard to believe her eyes.

"Am I seeing this correctly?"

"Hahahaha, if we're looking at the same person, then it should be correct."

Zi Yisheng held his wife's hand and continued to walk forward, but his gaze didn't leave the person busy at the stall, wearing an apron.

"Should we go over or pretend we didn't see?"

"We must go over. If I hadn't brought my camera, I would definitely have taken a picture of this moment to tease my elder brother when he's old."

"I think that's a good idea. We didn't get a photo today, but I'll have Arong come tomorrow to take more pictures."

Ye Shenge and her group joined the queue. To their surprise, Qu Huanhuan's baodu was very popular.

"Twelve portions of baodu, please."

Ye Muen recognized who it was from just one word. He looked up and smiled at the teasing glances of over a dozen people.

"Shenge, hurry and sit over there. I'll make a large portion for you later."

"Big brother, what about me?"

"And us, one large portion each."

Qu Huanhuan was already gaping with astonishment at the scene before her. Weren't they afraid of attracting a crowd?

Ye Shenge's group didn't disrupt business. They all sat at a small table nearby. Those without seats stood and waited.

"Husband, Madam."

"Just call me Shenge. You go ahead and work. We're just out for a stroll."

"Ah, should I pack up early?"

"No, absolutely not. We're not here to disturb you. We're going to continue browsing further inside later."

Ye Shenge was afraid of causing trouble. Sometimes, her family was indeed not suited for appearing in public too much.

When Qu Huanhuan returned to make the baodu, her mind was blank. She was making it purely on muscle memory.

Ye Shenge was the first to taste it, a large portion with cilantro but no chili.

"Try it and see how it is?"

Ye Muen squatted beside his sister, looking at her expectantly as she took a bite.

"Mmm~ It's incredibly delicious. This skill is no worse than the old establishments!"

"Hahahaha, right? I felt the same way when I tasted it a few days ago."

Zi Yisheng knew his wife couldn't finish it, so he took a bite with her chopsticks and nodded in agreement.

"I say, elder brother, it's not you making it, so why are you so proud?"

"Tsk, what are you saying? I have nothing to be proud of. I just didn't expect a snack stall to be so authentic."

"Are you working here now?"

Ye Muen scratched his head. He didn't know why he was here again, perhaps it felt very novel.

Ye Shenge understood her elder brother well. In two lifetimes, she hadn't had much contact with women outside. As time went by, she didn't even know how emotions developed.

"I see Qu Huanhuan is working very hard. As her boyfriend, you should be helping her."

"I'm just helping out these few days when I have time. If I don't have time, I won't come."

"Have you considered not making your girlfriend work so hard? The woman of a Ye family young master should live a very comfortable life."

Ye Shenge deliberately kept mentioning the words "girlfriend." Otherwise, some people would take a long time to understand their relationship.

"Well, Qu Huanhuan is very independent and doesn't like others making decisions for her."

Ye Muen was awkward. Sometimes, he almost believed his own lies after telling them too many times.

"Alright, hurry up and help. If you do more, she'll be less tired."

For someone who didn't want to waste time on relationships, a gentle nudge now and then was enough. Too many words would make him flee, finding it troublesome.

"Okay, if you guys aren't full, keep ordering. Today, it's my treat."

Ye Shenge stopped eating after a few bites. Zi Yisheng's portion was untouched and given to Asen and the others. He had learned from his wife to rarely have extra meals at night.

Asen and the others were different. When on night duty, they often ate supper, so one or two bowls of snacks were barely enough to fill their teeth.

Qu Huanhuan saw Ye Shenge and her group about to leave and quickly put down her work. But before they could leave the stall, she saw Ye Shenge waving at her.

"They don't want to disturb you."

"If I had known they were coming, I wouldn't have opened for business. It makes me feel a bit embarrassed."

Qu Huanhuan said with a look of guilt. Ye Muen smiled helplessly.

"Just treat them as ordinary acquaintances. Besides, they don't want to attract too much attention."

"But they are clearly not ordinary people."

Qu Huanhuan's soft murmur made Ye Muen chuckle. Her tone sounded a little wronged.

"You'll get used to it."
