A limited-edition orange maple robe!

Could it be that his speculations yesterday had been correct?

Yesterday, the little maid had drunk too much and had been carried back by the State Preceptor, then… he must have taken very good care of her body last night!

This little maid had to be the State Preceptor’s exclusive mistress. A concubine. The deeply spoiled kind!!

Thinking about this, the shopkeeper felt as though he had just gotten hold of a pot of hot gossip. He tried his best to suppress the excitement that rose in his heart.

He did not dare to reveal that he recognized her.

He had no choice but to pretend to be welcoming and oblivious.

“Dear guest, would you like to have a meal? Or… a drink?” She had drunk wine yesterday and returned today—perhaps this exclusive little mistress liked to drink Bodhi Crisp!~

“Today, I want to drink, and I want to eat too.” Qi Qingyao had just eaten that morning, but she wanted to sit on the second floor and look at the scenery. At the same time, she wanted to observe the customs and upper-class circle of the capital through Songhe Inn.

“Then, would you like a private room or a private seat?” The shopkeeper appeared very welcoming.

Qi Qingyao, “A private seat! Get me a seat by the window on the second floor.”

“Okay, dear guest. Please come with me!”

The shopkeeper did not ask much. He then personally led the girl to the best private seat on the second floor.

He called his best servant and specifically told him that he had to serve this guest well.

The servant was not a fool.

Just by looking at the garment on this ordinary-looking girl, he knew that she had to have huge backing.

He then waited beside her with a smile on his face, waiting to take the girl’s order.

The shopkeeper had just walked down when another guest entered. His appearance was also ‘mediocre’, but the aura about him… Although his outfit was grayish-white, the fabric was very exquisite and clean. He had to be a special person as well—however, the shopkeeper did not dare to ask him much either.

The guest went upstairs on his own…

He sat at the table next to the girl.

The shopkeeper thought to himself, ‘Is he someone sent by the State Preceptor to protect the ordinary girl?’

When Qi Qingyao sat down, she was not too hungry. She thought about her alcohol tolerance yesterday and ordered two pots of Bodhi Crisp wine. She ordered a plate of peanuts and a plate of edamame, then Songhe Inn’s signature rose cake and sugar crisp rice cracker.

After she finished ordering, Qi Qingyao keenly sensed a pair of eyes. They seemed casual but had deliberately swept over her twice.

She followed the gaze and looked over. It was a man sitting on the opposite side, also looking… extremely ordinary.

He was wearing a grayish-white robe.

Their gazes met.

Qi Qingyao sensed the interest in the other party’s eyes.

Qi Qingyao’s intuition from her previous undercover experiences gave her the feeling that this person recognized her, and… this person might also be wearing a human mask!

She was just about to leave in a hurry when a voice in her heart shouted.

‘Stay calm!’

Songhe Inn was the top restaurant in Capital City, and there were all kinds of guests about.

She had been very discreet today, and nobody recognized her. If this person was a master in disguise, he probably noticed that she was also in disguise! Thus, he was just staring at her out of curiosity.

Besides, the guards of Songhe Inn were not around for no reason. Fighting was not allowed there.

As soon as the dishes, confectioneries, and wine arrived, Qi Qingyao had just poured herself a cup of wine when silver bell-chime-like laughter came from downstairs.

It was accompanied by the chattering voices of several girls.

One of the voices sounded very familiar, but Qi Qingyao could not put her finger on it.

The group of girls came upstairs. A pair of eyes locked onto her.

Qi Qingyao raised her eyes and looked over involuntarily.

Their gazes met.

The atmosphere instantly turned very awkward.

The girl looked extraordinarily educated, but that was not the main point. The point was that the two of them wore the exact same garment!

They both wore the orange maple leaf robe…

Qi Qingyao was surprised for a few moments, but her sense of awkwardness did not last long. She just figured that there was someone with the same taste as her.

However, the expression of Wen Chuji, the girl who was wearing the same garment, instantly became very sour.

Her face was in shades of green!

Who was that girl over there? Where had she come from? How—how could someone with an extremely ordinary appearance wear the exact same limited edition maple leaf robe from Ziyun Boutique as her?!
