Chapter 284: Chapter 208: Storefront

Flower Demon chuckled on hearing this, her laughter enchanting and tinkling like silver bells. She hadn’t known about Sui Yi’s plan to start a company before, but now she could guess some of it based on the clues presented, so right after speaking, she immediately said, "I suppose you’re going to open a shop then. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be both selling and not selling. Just say if you need help. For shop opening, count on me to support you, and I won’t charge you a dime."

Sui Yi chuckled lightly, "Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Gong Jiu was already rolling his eyes because Flower Demon had started leaving a barrage of messages in the group chat—Gong Fool~ Your lady here doesn’t even need to ask you to buy things, you better just go wash up and sleep~.

It seemed that everyone who knew Gong Jiu knew Flower Demon, who was busily leaving messages, asking the real owner of the collections, implying that they had all figured out Gong Jiu didn’t have the eye for it...

"Damn! These blind people! Sui Yi, you have to teach me how to recognize these things tomorrow. I’ll piss them off next time!"

Ignoring the request of someone severely mixed up with historical knowledge, Sui Yi pretended he hadn’t heard...

The orders came in fast, also proving the old saying ’Birds of a feather flock together.’ The people who hung out in Gong Jiu’s social circle were mostly straightforward, at least they had to appear generous, so even before Sui Yi’s goods went out, his account was bombarded with notifications of money being deposited.

Sui Yi did not look closely, just smiling faintly while Gong Jiu was excitedly waving his eyebrows.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Around nine o’clock at night, Sui Yi left his study. Gong Jiu and Lin Yun had come down to the living room. He walked a few steps, arrived at a guest room, and knocked on the door.

The old lady had surely gone to sleep; Sui Yi wouldn’t disturb her, but he didn’t ignore Jiang Chenyu.

It was basic courtesy.

The door opened shortly after, with Jiang Chenyu standing behind it, her expression serene as she gazed at him.

"Something up?"

She was somewhat puzzled because Sui Yi rarely sought her out, especially late at night.

But she didn’t expect Sui Yi to ask, "Hungry?"

"...." Jiang Chenyu’s expression turned a bit strange, and after a slight hesitation, she replied, "Not really."

"We’re going to make some late-night snacks. If you’re not eating, then never mind, my apologies," Sui Yi said as he turned to leave.

"Wait."

"Yes?"

"You’re cooking?"

"Yes," Sui Yi felt he saw once again that deeply skeptical, disbelief filled expression.

Clack, Jiang Chenyu took a step out and closed the door, "Then let’s go."

"Aren’t you not hungry?"

"Not being hungry doesn’t mean I won’t eat."

"...."

Sui Yi and Jiang Chenyu appeared in the kitchen. He was indeed committed to his promise, fully taking charge of the cooking, while Lin Yun, if tied up with official matters, occasionally stayed over, and was now standing outside the kitchen watching Sui Yi methodically prepare ingredients, listening to Gong Jiu’s loudly exuberant chatter beside her.

If not for the pantry in the study being stocked with a large amount of fresh ingredients, Gong Jiu might have had to call his miserable subordinates to deliver vegetables.

"Lin Yun, Chenyu, what do you want to eat?" Sui Yi didn’t neglect to ask others, and Gong Jiu wasn’t displeased either, since he had already ordered what he wanted, and Sui Yi seemed quite generous and open-handed that evening, which made him very happy~~ (as if he hadn’t been squeezed earlier).

"Hmm? I don’t need any..." Lin Yun felt embarrassed and secondly... she was afraid of getting fat.

As for Jiang Chenyu... her response was, "Whatever."

Whatever?

Gong Jiu, busy gutting fish, stiffened his hand and glared fiercely at Jiang Chenyu. Lin Yun silently blushed, as if she wasn’t the only one whose thoughts had gone astray~~.

Only then did Jiang Chenyu realize the slip in her words and frowned slightly, adding softly, "I mean, whatever is fine, nothing else."

"...."

Sui Yi, who hadn’t given it much thought, glanced sideways at Jiang Chenyu. That look, laden with meaning, twisted the usually serene and graceful brow of Jiang Chenyu.

Without saying much, Sui Yi also started to prepare ingredients for another two dishes, and Lin Yun was taken aback.

How did the young boss know she liked these?

Eating late at night was indeed not good, especially for women, but for martial cultivators like Sui Yi and Gong Jiu, it wasn’t a big deal.

A table filled with dishes was quickly ready, and Gong Jiu, ever so outrageously, sent the pictures out, attracting a lot of envy...

However, Sui Yi himself didn’t eat much, nor did Jiang Chenyu, but Lin Yun and Gong Jiu, who had initially said no out of fear of gaining weight, ended up eating the most...

The two happily ate at the table while Sui Yi stood by the French windows watching the deep night outside. Jiang Chenyu approached from behind, her delicate and faint silhouette reflected on the glass.
