Chapter 409: I Seriously Suspect You're Lusting After My Body

At six in the evening, it is one of the busiest times on Zijin Road; the entire Gourmet Street is bustling with people, almost all of whom are students from the Communication University of China and Hangzhou University.

Neon lights flicker here, and the air is filled with the aroma of various delicacies.

Upon learning that their good friend planned to open a milk tea shop on this street, Tang Song and the others nearly dropped their jaws in shock.

"Yue'er, the expenses for opening a shop are no small sum. Can you really come up with that much money all at once?"

Luo Qiqi asked the question that had been puzzling her.

As she spoke, she cast a sour look at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan feigned confusion: "You don't think I'm the one who paid for it, do you? She wanted me to, but I didn't agree."

???

The group looked on in astonishment; besides Shen Yan, who else could possibly cough up such a large sum of money?

Although Wu Yueer didn't seem short on cash, she was, after all, just a student who hadn't entered society yet; no matter how high a model's salary might be, it shouldn't be enough to earn that much.

Could it be the Shanghai Little Rich Woman?

Sure enough, Wu Yueer's next sentence confirmed their suspicions.

"Yeah, I borrowed money from Shanni to open this shop. This person is so stingy, she didn't even want to lend me the money."

This narrative was Shen Yan's idea; the two's behavior had already far exceeded the boundaries of friendship, and their classmates often let their imaginations run wild in private.

Pinning the label on Chen Shanni could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Yu Youwei felt a slight pang of surprise; Shen Yan was not the type of person to be stingy.

Based on her understanding of Shen Yan, if he truly considered Wu Yueer a good friend, he should have paid the money without hesitation.

For some reason, she always felt that the way Shen Yan, Wu Yueer, and Chen Shanni interacted was strange.

More than friends, less than lovers.

Logically speaking, since Shen Yan knew both women were interested in him, he should either accept it normally or gradually distance himself, rather than being so ambiguous as he was now.

Sigh! She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand this childhood friend of hers.

Luo Qiqi, meanwhile, felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

If Shen Yan had really paid that money, the implications would be huge.

"Old Shen, I feel like opening a milk tea shop is quite profitable. Why aren't you investing in it?" Tang Song asked, puzzled.

Wu Yueer put on an annoyed expression: "This jerk said he didn't care for this small amount of money and even questioned my management skills. I, this lady, must make this business a success and slap him in the face."

Shen Yan played along: "It's because you have ulterior motives, saying that if you lose money, you'll mortgage yourself to me. I seriously suspect you're lusting after my body; if you deliberately tank the business, wouldn't I lose my chastity and my money?"

Hahaha!

The people present burst into laughter, and the workman on the ladder laughed so hard he swayed back and forth.

He nearly fell off the ladder.

This handsome guy really is like a dung beetle wearing a mask—stinking shameless.

For a beauty of Wu Yueer's level, what does it matter if one milk tea shop is lost?

Even if ten were lost, it would be worth it.

Wu Yueer was slightly stunned; why wasn't this guy following the script?

However, she wasn't angry; instead, she stomped her little foot and pouted coquettishly, full of feminine charm: "I'm so pretty and willing to be your wife, you should just be secretly happy, yet you're still there being picky."

Tang Song laughed and chimed in: "Old Shen, I think this deal is worth doing. If it makes money, everyone is happy; if it loses money, just treat it as a dowry. It's a win-win situation."

Shen Yan shrugged and didn't continue, as quite a few schoolgirls had gathered around.

As a well-known figure at the Communication University of China, many people recognized Shen Yan, especially after the news of the Shanghai shop demolition broke; Shen Yan's fame had reached its peak.

In just this short while, many little fan girls had recognized Shen Yan.

Excited as if they had met an idol, they crowded around, chattering: "Brother Rice Noodle, is this milk tea shop yours?"

"Is it for real? When is it opening? I'll definitely come to support it then."

"Compass Milk Tea Shop, is there any special meaning behind this name?"

"Male god, you're so amazing!"

That's right! This milk tea shop was named Compass Milk Tea Shop.

It was a decision Wu Yueer made on a whim after touching the Compass Necklace Shen Yan had given her.

To Wu Yueer, this name represented countless precious memories between her and Shen Yan.

Facing the schoolgirls, Shen Yan took the opportunity to advertise: "The milk tea shop belongs to Wu Yueer. It should open after the Qingming Festival. You are welcome to come and taste it then. Mention my name, and I'll give you all a discount."

"Yay, yay! We will definitely come to support it then."

"Male god, I'm a fan of the Yanyue CP. Are you and Wu Yueer together?"

"Brother Rice Noodle, when will you and Wu Yueer dance on stage again?"

Hearing these words, Wu Yueer was so happy her mouth split open like a torn shoe; if the milk tea shop hadn't been closed, she would have treated everyone to a few cups of milk tea regardless of the cost.

They were just too supportive!

After the schoolgirls left, Tang Song couldn't help but exclaim: "Old Shen's fame is unquestionable. I think the milk tea shop doesn't even need to advertise. On the opening day, just have these handsome man and beautiful woman stand at the door, and you won't have to worry about a lack of customers."

"That's a nice idea!"

Wu Yueer's eyes lit up; a free golden signboard shouldn't go to waste—the Most Beautiful School Beauty paired with Brother Rice Noodle.

It's a winning hand right from the start!

"Shen Yan, you must help me with this." Wu Yueer pouted her red lips.

Her posture was just like a girlfriend acting spoiled toward her boyfriend.

Since this was Huniu's first venture, Shen Yan naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request.

"Alright, I'll come to support you then."

"Love you!" In her joy, Wu Yueer made a heart shape at Shen Yan.

The few people present shook their heads helplessly; only in front of Shen Yan would Wu Yueer reveal this girlish side of herself.

It must be said, when this woman acts spoiled, it is truly captivating.

I don't know how Shen Yan manages to hold back and not pluck this charming flower that could kill a man with her beauty.

Are you a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

At this moment, Chen Shanni walked over carrying a tote bag; inside the bag were four beggar's chickens, along with some desserts and fruit, which would serve as today's dinner for the time being.

Seeing Luo Qiqi and the others present, Chen Shanni was slightly taken aback, but she did not feel surprised.

In the central area of Gourmet Street, it was the most normal thing for students to pass by.

Seeing the newcomer, Yuan Qingming couldn't help but tease: "Shanni, you'll never be able to shake off the title of Shanghai Little Rich Woman; over a hundred thousand yuan, and you lent it to Yue'er just like that."

Chen Shanni immediately understood and humbly replied: "It's nothing, Yue'er is so pretty, if she can't pay it back, I'll just use her as collateral; I'm sure there will be no shortage of buyers."

Hearing this, everyone found it amusing, while at the same time feeling a surge of surprise inside.

Unknowingly, the once shy and timid Chen Shanni had grown so much that she had even learned how to joke.

Leaving the milk tea shop.

Strolling along Gourmet Street and looking at the rows of shops standing side by side, Yuan Qingming couldn't help but sigh: "The three of them have such a good relationship; they get along just like family."

Tang Song: "Having been neighbors for so long, their relationship is definitely much better than ordinary people's; I heard from old Shen that he doesn't really cook, he just runs over to the neighbors' to mooch off them every day."
