Chapter 98: Side Story: Working at the Inn (Part 3)

"No, it’s fine. I’ll close the inn, but I plan to keep the dining hall open. The second-floor rooms will be exclusively yours while you’re here, so feel free to use them as you wish," Henry said.

"Is that okay?" Shen Xinghui asked.

"Yes, it’s fine. Honestly, I wasn’t planning on opening the dining hall either, so it’s no problem at all," Henry reassured him.

Whenever they came by, Henry and his

Although Shen Xinghui felt a bit guilty, whenever he tried to politely refuse, he was met with sad looks, so he always accepted their kindness.

"Besides, working here and talking to strangers could be a good stimulus. Ignatius, is that okay with you?" Henry asked.

"If you two are fine with it, I’m more than happy. It will be a great opportunity for them to experience how to make a living. My apologies, Mr. Henry," Ignatius said, bowing slightly.

"No, no, it’s perfectly fine," Henry responded.

"Then, in that case, I’ll take Nyx to the castle. My father and my mother have already become quite fond of Nyx. While Shen Xinghui is busy, I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to look after him," Ignatius said with a smile.

"Is it okay?"

"Of course. Just as long as you don’t start fighting over who gets to take care of him."

Ignatius said it jokingly, and both Shen Xinghui and Henry looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Before long, everyone returned from their shopping, and, as expected, they were all in high spirits, each holding a sweet treat in hand.

Shen Xinghui couldn’t help but laugh and rolled up his sleeves.

He knew he needed to move around a bit too.

"I’ll help today as well. Let me make a few dishes," he said.

"That would be a big help! Shen Xinghui’s cooking is always delicious," Jenna replied.

Standing side by side with Jenna in the kitchen, Shen Xinghui began preparing the evening meal alongside her.

The next day, Shen Xinghui finally donned an apron and took his place at the shop.

He started by cleaning the shop interior—sweeping the floor, wiping it down, and cleaning the tables.

In the kitchen, Henry and Jenna were busy preparing for the day’s cooking.

By the time they finished, Kaelion had carefully completed his preparations.

"Good morning, Mother, Grandpa, Grandma," Kaelion greeted.

"Good morning, Kaelion. Where are Vaelrik and Seraphina?"

"They’re still asleep."

Kaelion, with a bit of a troubled smile, was also wearing an apron, just like Shen Xinghui.

And so, the shop opened, as usual, on time.

The doorbell rang, and familiar regulars walked in.

They immediately spotted Shen Xinghui, their faces full of surprise.

"Welcome!"

"Shen Xinghui!"

The group that rushed toward him was a group of carpenters, regulars who often stopped by for a meal before starting their morning work.

They looked healthy, and Shen Xinghui couldn’t help but smile brightly.

"When did you get back?" one of them asked.

"Since yesterday. I’m helping out today."

"Really? So you’re back for good?"

"Of course not! Shen Xinghui is now the wife of His Highness Ignatius!"

He laughed, saying that in a teasing manner.

"Welcome."

When Kaelion approached Shen Xinghui’s side and smiled brightly, everyone looked at him in shock.

Shen Xinghui stood proudly next to him.

"This is my son, Kaelion."

"Nice to meet you. My mother has been taking good care of me."

Kaelion spoke so maturely that Shen Xinghui blushed a little, and the carpenters’ eyes widened before they burst into laughter.

The shop was as busy as ever.

Apparently, the recipe that Shen Xinghui had taught them had been a huge hit, and they’d gained even more customers.

With that, Shen Xinghui found himself running back and forth between the kitchen and the dining area.

Kaelion was serving water and taking orders, but it seemed like it was a bit difficult for him.

Still, he was impressively accurate with everything.

After three busy hours, things settled down, and Vaelrik and Seraphina finally woke up.

Ignatius was awake too, but he was taking care of Nyx.

Truly, he was a capable husband.

"Sorry, Mother!"

"We’re sorry!"

The two, who had woken up late, looked like they might cry.

Gently patting their heads, Shen Xinghui smiled kindly.

"It’s fine. Plus, we’ll be busy at lunch, so make sure to help out," he said.

The two of them nodded cutely in agreement.

Now, while there was a little break, Shen Xinghui started washing dishes and wiping down the floors and tables once more.

Jenna and Henry were busy preparing for lunch.

As Shen Xinghui wiped down the tables and floor, Kaelion was doing the same beside him.

He seemed to be a little bit down.

"Mother," Kaelion said.

"Yes?"

"Work really is hard, isn’t it?"

Shen Xinghui was a bit surprised when Kaelion said this with such a serious expression.

But he quickly smiled.

It seemed that Kaelion had truly understood the important things Shen Xinghui had wanted him to.

"I thought I could do better," Kaelion said." But when I tried, I realized it wasn’t like that. I thought I could do things efficiently, but my body didn’t move that way. I couldn’t do it as well as Mother."

"Kaelion, you’re doing just fine. You didn’t make any mistakes. I was a mess on my first day, really caused a lot of trouble."

"Even you, Mother, had a hard time?"

Kaelion’s face was filled with surprise, and Shen Xinghui couldn’t help but laugh.

He wondered how Kaelion saw him.

Did he view him as some kind of superhero, when in reality, Shen Xinghui was just an ordinary person?

"But..."

Kaelion looked a little embarrassed as he spoke, his expression almost childlike.

"I don’t hate it. People praise me and say ’thank you.’ Being smiled at is such a wonderful thing."

"Yeah, you’re right."

Shen Xinghui felt a deep sense of emotion.

He could clearly see that Kaelion’s important qualities were growing, and that made him incredibly happy.
