Chapter 387: Meeting Again (2)

"I am so exhausted. Why do Wanmintang still have so many customers just for selling noodles? The noodles Ying makes are not that delicious."

After watching the last diner walk out of Wanmin Hall, Paimeng, who was responsible for helping Ying, slumped down on a chair. She and Ying had been in the kitchen since twelve o'clock, and it was already two o'clock. They had just sent the last diner away and had been busy for two hours in a row. Not to mention Paimeng, even Ying was so tired that she sat down on the chair and didn't want to move.

When Paimon slumped in the chair, Ying, who was standing next to him, carried Guoba to the stool and sat on the chair as well, not wanting to move anymore. If she had known that she would have to be busy for two hours straight, she would rather go and have another fight with that guy Sanbing than be busy in the Wanmin Hall, it was simply too tiring.

"Thank you so much, traveler. Please come to Wanmin Hall in the evening and I will cook a meal to welcome you."

Seeing Ying slumped in the chair due to exhaustion, even though her father had just given Ying a large sum of Mora, the kind-hearted girl Xiangling still felt a little sorry for Ying. Perhaps other people were not aware of the workload of Wanmin Hall these days, but as one of the chefs of Wanmin Hall, Xiangling knew the workload of the hall very well.

"It's nothing, but if you, Xiangling, cook for us tonight, won't Wanmintang be open?"

Having just personally experienced the workload at Wanmin Hall, Ying was a little worried whether Xiangling would be able to handle it after hearing Xiangling say that she would prepare delicious welcome meals for several people in the evening. After all, since Ru Jin would definitely come in the evening, Ying knew without a doubt that Xiangling would cook a lot of delicious food.

Hearing Ying ask this question, Xiangling secretly glanced at Ruojin. After meeting Ruojin's eyes, Xiangling's heart trembled and she said shyly.

"Well, Wanmin Hall will be closed tonight to welcome you."

After hearing Xiangling say that Wanmin Hall would not be open in the evening, Ying breathed a sigh of relief. If Wanmin Hall was still open in the evening, she would really find an opportunity to talk to Ruojin about this issue. If Xiangling continued to be so tired, Ying was worried that Xiangling's health would sooner or later be in trouble.

Xiangling's words also made Ruojin nod his head. After all, he had just come back from outside, and he didn't want to see Xiangling busy cooking and not even having time to have dinner with him.

"Alas, it seems that your words are more effective, Ruojin. Even I, as a father, can't control Xiangling. I told Xiangling many times before to close Wanmin Hall and take a rest, but Xiangling didn't listen. The little cotton jacket is leaking."

Hearing Xiangling say that Wanmin Hall would be closed at night, Master Mao, who had been trying to persuade Xiangling to take a break, came out of the kitchen. Since Master Mao knew everyone present, and they were all Xiangling's friends, Master Mao didn't care about anything and just teased Xiangling.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Go and have a rest. If your waist is not in good condition, you need to lie down and rest more."

After being teased by her father for several times, Xiangling, whose cheeks had turned red due to shyness, pushed her father to the inner room of Wanmin Hall. Master Mao, who wanted to say something, was driven into his room by Xiangling before he could say anything, and forced Master Mao to rest.

After doing all this, before Xiangling could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly found that Ying, Mona and Hu Tao were staring at her with strange eyes, as if they didn't expect Xiangling to do this.

"You, why are you looking at me like that? Mr. Bai Shu said that dad needs to lie down and rest more so that his waist can heal faster."

After Xiangling said this, Ying and the other two nodded almost at the same time in order to make Xiangling believe that they didn't think too much about it. However, their eyes had already revealed everything, because that was not the look of belief at all.

Xiangling was not an idiot without emotional intelligence. After realizing that her actions and words just now were a bit too obvious, Xiangling's face turned red. Then, under the gazes of Ying and the other two, Xiangling, who could not bear it any longer, fell directly into Ruojin's arms, leaving only the back of her head facing Ying and the other two. "Ying, you are really getting more and more despicable."

Feeling that Xiangling's body temperature in his arms had risen a little because of shyness, Ruo Jin also complained about Ying. As Ying traveled to more countries and became stronger, Ruo Jin found that Ying was becoming more and more despicable. Not only that, even Hu Tao and Mona showed signs of learning bad things from Ying.

"Hey~"

Looking at Xiangling hiding in Ruojin's arms, Ying embarrassedly stuck out her tongue and made a cute sound. Since she hadn't seen Xiangling for a long time, Ying was a little excited and teased Xiangling. However, she didn't expect Xiangling to be shy. If it was Hu Tao, Hu Tao would probably admit it directly and generously.

Thinking of this, Ying secretly glanced at Hu Tao, and after finding no negative emotions on Hu Tao's face, Ying also sighed that Ruo Jin still had some ability. Having traveled to many worlds, Ying had long been able to accept the fact that capable people had three wives and four concubines. However, compared to the situation where three wives and four concubines could live in harmony like Hu Tao and Xiangling, Ying saw more jealousy and the ending of axe chopping.

"Ajin, you're back!"

Just when Ying was daydreaming, Keqing's voice came from outside the door of Wanmin Hall. Hearing Keqing's voice, without waiting for Xiangling to come out of Ruojin's arms, Keqing had already strode in front of Ruojin.

"Sister, why are you here? I was thinking of looking for you later."

Seeing that his elder sister, the purple cat-headed one, had come, Ruojin ignored Xiangling's struggle and hugged Xiangling in his arms while greeting Keqing. Ruojin also clearly felt that Xiangling's body temperature in his arms had become higher.

"Ajin, I'm glad you're back safely. You should eat and rest first. I still have some work to deal with. We can talk in the evening."

After looking Ruojin up and down and finding that Ruojin showed no signs of injury, Keqing didn't care about Xiangling in Ruojin's arms. After all, she could already see that the relationship between Xiangling and her younger brother was not simple.

Although she felt a little jealous that Ruojin was hugging other girls, when she thought of the work that had not been finished, Keqing still walked quickly out of Wanmin Hall. After all, instead of watching Ruojin and Xiangling being intimate here, Keqing felt that it would be better to finish the work early and then talk to Ruojin about what Ruojin had encountered during such a long time away.

"Sister Keqing, remember to come to Wanmin Hall for dinner tonight."

"I see."

When Keqing heard Ruojin say that they would come to Wanmin Hall for dinner in the evening, she said "I know" without turning her head, and then led the Qianyan soldiers who were guarding outside Wanmin Hall towards the pier.

According to the intelligence sent by the General Affairs Department, it seems that a big businessman has come from Xumi to the port. As the General Affairs Department is short-staffed, Keqing needs to personally judge whether this big businessman will disrupt the market economy and use malicious competition with low prices to suppress Liyue merchants.
