Chapter 565: Chapter 567 A Kiss Print_1

So Xue Ling carelessly turned around.

But as soon as she did, Yu Peng suddenly stepped to her side, bringing them face to face.

Caught completely off guard, Xue Ling found herself on the receiving end of an unexpected kiss from Yu Peng!

A kiss?

Xue Ling was flabbergasted. She widened her eyes, unable to believe what had just happened.

Had Yu Peng just kissed her?

In actuality, it was just a quick peck from Yu Peng before he pulled away, flashing Xue Ling a shy smile.

He had wanted to do this for a long time, to kiss her ever since he first saw her.

But Xue Ling, in an unexpected reaction, clenched and then released her fist before abruptly slapping Yu Peng across the face!

Yu Peng was utterly lost for words.

To his surprise, Xue Ling abruptly ran away at that moment.

She ran out of Peach Garden all the way to the street outside.

She could still feel a burning sensation in her palm, perhaps due to hitting him so hard. But it was Yu Peng’s fault, he had no right to take liberties with her.

However, could what happened be considered taking liberties?

True, she had always been aloof with him but hadn’t outright rejected him either, had she?

It was just a kiss after all. Why the strong reaction? Was it because, deep down, she still couldn’t accept Yu Peng?

Suddenly, Xue Ling squatted down on the ground and began to sob.

It wasn’t long before she heard soft footsteps approaching from behind.

...

Meanwhile, inside the small restaurant,

Nan Feng and Ye were having dinner like old times.

As always, Ye picked out the tastiest bits of the food for Nan Feng. This time, he was handing her prawns from a stir-fry with chives while asking, "Has Spikenard Square been especially busy these past few days? You look thinner!"

"Yeah, our products were chosen as the designated items for the recent talent show. All the town’s ladies are following the trend and buying from us," Nan Feng replied while munching on the prawns.

She was in a hurry and needed to finish her meal quickly to get back to the shop.

"Eat slowly," Ye advised, looking slightly annoyed, "Despite how busy you are, you must take care of your health. If you overwork yourself to the point of exhaustion, you might end up not being able to do anything."

"Don’t worry, when have I ever not taken care of myself?" Nan Feng replied before digging back into her food.

After eating half a bowl, she put down her chopsticks. "The President of the Business Association came to see me yesterday. He asked me to close the books for this month as soon as possible. It seems like it’s time to pay taxes. President Wan also mentioned that the businesses that have managed to stay on Commercial Street are the successful ones. The ones that couldn’t be helped, well, they’ve all been cleared out."

Ye nodded, "Survival of the fittest, that’s how it goes."

"President Wan also suggested I open a bank, what do you think... feasibility-wise?" asked Nan Feng.

"That will depend on your opinion," Ye didn’t want Nan Feng taking on too much, "Do you like the idea of opening a bank?"

"Not bad, I suppose. If the opportunity arises, I will look into it and see if there are any risks. Oh, and President Wan showed me a mansion. A little bit of renovation, and I think it should be decent enough. I’m thinking of buying it, Ye. Then we won’t have to stay at the inn anymore, the soundproofing there is not so great, sometimes..." Nan Feng winked at Ye, "You know what I mean."

"Whatever you say!" Ye replied casually.

Nan Feng put down her chopsticks and looked at Ye, then asked him, "What’s the matter? Something on your mind?"

"Not really," Ye glanced at Nan Feng, "Perhaps recent exertions have worn me down a bit, it seems hard to muster any energy."

"Well, once we get the mansion, I’ll make you chicken soup more often. You’ll feel energized after some nourishment," Nan Feng admitted that she was getting tired of the restaurant food every day.
