She didn’t answer and just followed shopkeeper Liu to Liu Qi’s private room.

Lin Yuelan said to shopkeeper Liu, “I’ll have to trouble shopkeeper Liu to invite your young master and Jiaying over.”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, “even without miss Lin’s reminder, I’ll get someone to invite the young master and the eldest miss over.”

When he saw the four or five jars in Jiang Zhennan’s hand, his eyes seemed to have some understanding, but there was also some surprise and excitement.

‘It seems that miss Lin had prepared something good today.’

Shopkeeper Liu brought them to the private room on the third floor and said, “please wait here for a moment!” With that said, he left in a somewhat jumping manner.

“What’s wrong, shopkeeper Liu? Does your foot hurt?” Lin Yuelan asked in confusion.

The corner of Shopkeeper Liu’s mouth twitched. He nodded and replied, “maybe!” He was obviously jumping around in joy, but it turned into a foot injury.

Jiang Zhennan said to Lin Yuelan, “the business here is good!”

Lin Yuelan took a sip of tea and echoed, “yes!” Ever since she gave out the recipes for those dishes, the business had gotten even better.

Jiang Zhennan was a person of few words, and Lin Yuelan did not usually talk much. Therefore, the two entered a state of awkwardness. The two of them sipped their tea quietly as they waited for the siblings, Liu Qi and Liu Jiaying, to arrive.

“Yuelan, Yuelan…” A clear voice came from outside the door.

Then, a little girl wearing a white silk princess dress ran in. This modern princess dress was specially designed by Lin Yuelan for Liu Jiaying. She had asked the tailor and the embroiderers to make two sets. One was a pink Princess dress, and the other was a sky blue dress.

Both dresses were embellished with some accessories, such as white jade beads instead of modern pearls.

Lin Yuelan wanted to design two sets of unique clothes for Liu Jiaying.

When Liu Jiaying saw the two sets of clothes, she really liked them.

She held the hem of her dress. As soon as she saw Lin Yuelan, she plunged into her arms, “Yuelan, you’re finally here. If you had come any later, I would have gone to the Lin family Village to find you. I really missed you.”

Jiang Zhennan’s forehead twitched slightly. ‘Why is this girl so close to Miss Yue ‘Er? Shouldn’t she be closer to her brother?’

Jiang Zhennan did not know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He couldn’t really understand it.

Lin Yuelan had no idea what was on Jiang Zhennan’s mind. She touched Liu Jiaying’s head and said with a pampering smile, “I’m here now. But, don’t do anything stupid. What if something happens to you on your way to the countryside?”

One had to pass through a mountain road going from Ning An Town to Lin Family Village. It was a good hiding spot for bandits. Lin Yuelan didn’t want anything bad to happen to Liu Jiaying.

Therefore, Lin Yuelan didn’t approve of Liu Jiaying going to the Lin family Village.

Liu Jiaying pouted and said, “but you’re a girl too. So why can you travel between these two places as you please?”

Lin Yuelan touched her forehead. Liu Jiaying could be quite stubborn. Lin Yuelan had tried so hard to persuade her from going to Lin Family Village alone last time. But now, she had the same idea again.

Lin Yuelan said, “Jiaying, although I’m a girl, you’ve seen what I’m capable of. I have plenty of strength and I know some martial arts. I can protect myself.”

However, Liu Jiaying said with a little heartache, “no matter how capable you are, you are still a girl. It’s hard for a girl to take on a group of bad people. It’s too dangerous. If I’m by your side at the Lin Family Village, I can help you!”

Jiang Zhennan’s forehead throbbed even more furiously. Without thinking, he blurted out, “Miss Liu, don’t worry. In the future, I will accompany miss Yue ‘Er to town, and no one will be able to get close to Miss Yue ‘Er.”

Hearing the man’s voice, Liu Jiaying realized that there was another person in the room.

“Who are you?” she asked in surprise.
