Chapter 183 Rogue Behavior
Su Xiaoxiao scolded Donglai with a hint of shyness.
"Dongla, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Ran laughed out loud.
"Donglai understands my thoughts!"
Donglai grinned foolishly when he received praise from his young master.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't intend to make a fuss and sat next to Xiao Ran.
"Stop messing around and get down to business!"
Xiao Ran looked at Su Xiaoxiao seriously for a moment.
"What's the matter? Just tell me! I will do my best to help you, no hesitation!"
"I want to ask you something!"
Xiao Ran pointed his finger at himself, "Me?"
"Yeah, there's something wrong with you, haven't you noticed?"
"Forehead……"
"Tell me, what's wrong with you recently? Is there anything wrong at home?"
Xiao Ran didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to care about him so much, and grinned foolishly.
"It's fine!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Su Xiaoxiao came close to Xiao Ran and looked into his eyes carefully.
"you are lying!"
Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed by Su Xiaoxiao's sudden approach to him. His heart beat faster and his cheeks turned slightly red without him realizing it.
However, he really liked being looked at by Su Xiaoxiao like this.
Under the long eyelashes are a pair of dark and clear eyes, and on the palm-sized facial features is a delicate and beautiful face.
Her thin red lips are as delicate as peeled lychees, so delicate that they can be broken with a touch.
He swallowed subconsciously, and inexplicably had the urge to lower his head and kiss her.
Fortunately, he controlled it.
He is a gentleman and cannot behave like a hooligan.
He will not do anything beyond the rules without the other party's consent.
"How...how did you conclude that I was lying?"
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and said proudly, "Because your eyes tell me that you are lying!"
Xiao Ran blinked, sat up straight and continued eating.
"How could my eyes tell you that? You are the one lying!"
Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't say anything, Su Xiaoxiao sat up straight again.
"If you really have something wrong, tell me. What if I can help you? Don't keep it in your heart. What if you get hurt?"
"Will you feel sorry for me then?"
Such a straightforward question made Su Xiaoxiao's pupils shrink slightly.
"This……"
How should she answer?
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's deflated look, Xiao Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I'm just teasing you! Look how scared you are."
"Hateful!" Su Xiaoxiao slapped Xiao Ran rudely.
The two chatted for a while, but Xiao Ran never told Su Xiaoxiao about him.
Since the other party didn't want to say anything, Su Xiaoxiao had no intention of asking until she got to the bottom of it.
Seeing that Xiao Ran had almost finished eating, she stood up.
"Then I'll go back first!"
Xiao Ran really wanted Su Xiaoxiao to stay with him for a while longer, but he didn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
He nodded, "Okay, the road is slippery, be careful when you walk!"
"Ok, I know!"
"Donglai, see Miss Su off!"
"Yes!"
Donglai sent Su Xiaoxiao downstairs.
When they reached the first floor, Su Xiaoxiao pulled Donglai aside.
"What happened to Xiao Ran?"
Donglai told the Xiao family about the unpleasant things that happened on New Year's Eve.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that Xiao Ran had a stepmother, but she didn't expect that Xiao Ran had such a bad relationship with his stepmother, and she didn't expect that Xiao Ran's father had a bad attitude towards Xiao Ran either.
This once again proves that if there is a stepmother, the biological father will also become a stepfather.
Looking at Xiao Ran's bright and handsome appearance, his good background, wealthy family, and no worries about food and drink, I never thought that he was also a poor person.
Su Xiaoxiao felt inexplicably distressed for Xiao Ran.
After leaving Youfenglai Restaurant, Su Xiaoxiao bought some gifts for County Magistrate Cui and Cui Boxian.
When she arrived at the gate of the county government office, she explained the situation to the bailiff, put down the gift and left.
County Magistrate Cui and Cui Boxian must be very busy these days, and she doesn't have anything to do, so she won't disturb them.
The next day, Jiang Xingjun and Jiang Lanlan returned to the shop, and everyone began to clean the shop and prepare various ingredients in preparation for the opening tomorrow.
While he was busy, Xiao Ran walked in with a few servants.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard someone coming in, she thought it was a customer.
"I'm so sorry, we don't open until tomorrow. Please come back tomorrow!"
When she looked up and saw that the other person was Xiao Ran, she smiled.
"How did you come?"
"Come and help!"
Xiao Ran guessed that Su Xiaoxiao would be busy in the store that day, so he brought someone over to help.
At his command, several servants started cleaning.
One of the servants was very considerate and took the rag from Su Xiaoxiao's hand and went to work.
Su Xiaoxiao's hands were empty, and she was stunned as she watched the servant working diligently.
"This……"
Xiao Ran came to Su Xiaoxiao's side and said, "Let them do it, you take a break!"
Without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao's reaction, he walked to Zhao Wanzhu again.
"Auntie, you take a rest too!"
Jiang Xingjun and Jiang Lanlan couldn't help but laugh when they saw Xiao Ran being so attentive.
You know what, Xiao Ran is a smart guy.
Know that while pleasing the future daughter-in-law, you also have to please the future mother-in-law.
Zhao Wanzhu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She kept praising Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran felt embarrassed by the praise.
Zhao Wanzhu suddenly thought of something and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, there are so many people helping you at home, you don't have to worry about it. Go out for a walk with Master Xiao!"
Jiang Xingjun, you also echoed, "Yes, yes, little sister, go out and play for a while!"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect Zhao Wanzhu to arrange her like this. She was about to refuse when she saw Jiang Lanlan walking over quickly and pushing Su Xiaoxiao towards the door.
"We are here in the shop, so you can go without any worries!"
Seeing that everyone supported him, Xiao Ran clasped his hands together to express his gratitude to them, and immediately went after Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao naturally understood what her family meant, which was to create time for the two of them to be alone, and she didn't object.
The two of them chatted casually as they walked and got along very happily.
When the two returned to the shop, everything was ready and they were just waiting to open for business the next day.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Su's Noodle House resumed business.
Early in the morning, many customers came to the shop to buy food.
Everyone is busy as hell.
During the Chinese New Year, some shops open early and some open late.
For some reason, the pub next to Su's Noodle House has not reopened yet.
Many customers who came to the tavern to drink saw that the tavern was closed and ran to Su's Noodle House to ask the reason.
Su Xiaoxiao and others didn't know why the shop next door had never opened.
No one thought much about it, thinking that it might be because of something at home that delayed him during the Chinese New Year.
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was February 2nd.
Su Xiaoxiao went out to buy some groceries and saw that the tavern next door was still closed, so she became curious.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for a businessman to remain closed for such a long time. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
With doubts, she continued to buy, and when she came back, she happened to see the owner of the tavern.
