Luo Lian hugged her back and patted her: "Okay, Luoluo, you must be happy, you must be happy, you must!"
"I will, we’ll both be happy, both be blessed!" Luo Ye said as she let go of her, rushed into the car, afraid she’d be unable to hold back her tears if she stayed any longer.
She could feel Luo Lian’s reluctance, Luo Lian’s anxiety, if Emma hadn’t treated her so poorly, how could she lose her composure at the sight of soone?
However, things would calm down before the year-end, she had to leave.
...
The sound of firecrackers going off sporadically, children playing and laughing, n and won carrying various gift boxes with big smiles, filled the streets of Beijing on the 29th of the twelfth month with the festive vibe.
"Candied hawthorns, candied hawthorns..."
"Stop for a mont."
The vendor’s crisp cries incited Luo Ye’s appetite, so she instructed the driver, Ye Sheng, to pull over.
There were many street vendors with carts, and Ye Sheng wasn’t quite sure what Luo Ye wanted, so he asked, "Miss Ye’er, what do you want? I’ll help you buy it."
"I’ll go myself, it tastes better when you buy it yourself." Luo Ye playfully smiled, "I want to eat it in front of Great Grandpa to see if I can make him crave it."
Ye Sheng’s eyes imdiately filled with a smile and tears. His family had been serving the Ye Family since Grandpa’s generation, and he grew up in the Ye Family, deeply connected to the Grand Old Master, who particularly loved this treat in the winter.
He would often sneak out to buy candied hawthorns for the Grand Old Master without Old Master Ye’s knowledge, knowing well it would stick to his teeth and cause pain, yet he insisted on eating them like a child.
Hopefully, like Miss Ye’er said, the Grand Old Master would wake up craving upon hearing the sound and slling the scent of candied hawthorns.
Seeing Luo Ye approach, the vendor excitedly greeted her, "Miss, how many sticks do you want?"
Luo Ye smiled at him and pointed at a row stuck on the pole, "Wrap up this row for ."
"Alright! Miss, you know your stuff, these hawthorns on top are sandy fruits, sweet and starchy, delicious..." The vendor rambled while wrapping them up.
Luo Ye burst into laughter, "Listening to you, it’s as if these hawthorns you use for candied hawthorns are all ho-grown, hand-picked, and categorized?"
"Miss, you are right, these are indeed grown by my father, hand-picked, categorized, and labeled by him.
The locals all know, my candied hawthorns are priced differently, surely taste differently. Like this row on top, they’re suitable for all ages." The vendor pointed below introducing, "This row is loved by young people, these by kids, and these by the elderly. If a buyer picks the wrong category, I always remind them."
"Miss, don’t listen to his nonsense!" A vendor selling small toys nearby laughed and exposed him, "He just talks nonsense when he sees a pretty girl, don’t believe him."
"Who’s talking nonsense, these hawthorns are indeed grown by my father, but this top row is delicious, only..." The vendor chuckled, "only the ones below are categorized by size, they taste the sa, hehe..."
Luo Ye was amused by him and laughed, "How much is it?"
"Buying so much, and being such a pretty lady, I’ll give you a discount. Originally three a stick, but for you, two a stick, how about that?"
"No need for a discount, here’s thirty-six, counted already."
Luo Ye turned around, surprised to see Feng Tianzhi glaring unhappily at the vendor, and asked, "Captain Feng, what are you doing here?"
Feng Tianzhi glanced at her and pulled her aside, Ye Sheng hurriedly got out of the car and caught up, grabbing Luo Ye: "Miss Ye’er."
Before Luo Ye could speak, Feng Tianzhi frowned and said, "You follow with the car, I need to visit the Grand Old Master Ye too."
"Miss Ye’er." Ye Sheng looked at Luo Ye, not moving.
Luo Ye smiled at him reassuringly, "It’s okay, I’ll ride in his car, you follow behind."
Considering Feng Tianzhi’s temperant, insisting on opposing him could lead to unpredictable consequences. For the sake of harmony, she might as well cooperate a bit.
"Humph!"
Once in the car, Feng Tianzhi cast a glance at Luo Ye and snorted heavily.
"Did I annoy you?" Luo Ye looked at him baffled, unable to figure out where she had offended this young master.
Feng Tianzhi glared at her bitterly, "You knew I went to Island City to be with you, why didn’t you notify when coming to Beijing?"
"Your request is a bit much, what is our relationship that I should report my whereabouts to you?" Luo Ye pouted in displeasure, "Please don’t forget, I am Ye Xuan’s fiancée, I have made it clear to you, you are just my leader and superior, at most a friend, nothing more."
