24. How Much You Mean to Me!

Translation: muzgodass

"Male-wife Han, I'd like some sleeves buttons and threads."

After Han Tingxuan left, the customer who had been "watching" said cautiously.

"Okay." Mo Yanzhi came back to senses and barely put on a smile.

He packed the things and checked the bill. The customer left.

Mo Yanzhi pursed his lips tightly and walked towards the backyard. He found that his husband was bending over and trembling.

Mo Yanzhi walked towards Han Tingxuan.

When Han Tingxuan heard the sound of footsteps, he straightened up and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha!" He had been enduring too hard just now! Now he could laugh loudly!

Mo Yanzhi was confused. This is... not what he expected.

Shouldn't he be afraid, hateful, and disdainful of him? Because he left without even looking at him...

What was he laughing at now?

"Hubby..." Mo Yanzhi said hesitantly. "What are you laughing at?"

"Pfft... Hahaha..." Han Tingxuan laughed and patted Mo Yanzhi on the shoulder. "You...you're so cute...haha...I can't help it...just now, it was hilarious!"

Mo Yanzhi opened his mouth and became even more suspicious. "Is it hilarious?"

What he did just now...could be hilarious?

"Yeah!" Han Tingxuan nodded hard. "That person... is too funny! Haha...your face is trembling. Hahaha, Yanzhi, why are you so cool?!"

How cool his male wife is!

Mo Yanzhi pursed his lips, "Hubby, do you agree with what I just did?"

"Totally agreed!" It was at that moment Han Tingxuan realized that Mo Yanzhi did not look right, so he stopped laughing and asked in confusion, "What you did was great. What's going on?"

Mo Yanzhi was not sure if he should breathe a sigh of relief or feel helpless. "What I did just now as an unfilial son. Don't you think it was inappropriate?"

"Unfilial?" Han Tingxuan was really surprised. "why would you think like that?"

Mo Yanzhi stared at Han Tingxuan, seemingly trying to find out something hidden behind Han Tingxuan's surprise. However, he could not tell anything. So it was true that Han Tingxuan was really surprised.

Mo Yanzhi said lightly, "In other people's eyes, I was unfilial."

Han Tingxuan's heart ached. He hugged Mo Yanzhi's waist and pulled him closer. "Honestly, if you had chosen to give those things to your daddy, I wouldn't have said anything because it was your decision. But I like your decision just now. One gets bullied again if he does fight back. It is great that you are a filial son, but you cannot be stupidly filial. What's more, that person is not your biological daddy. I bet he has never treated you well. Am I right?"

Mo Yanzhi nodded lightly.

Han Tingxuan smiled. "You only live once. So you really don't have to care about others' opinions about you. You are not a saint. A saint can be loved by most people but he may not be happy. Most importantly, I don't like saint.

Mo Yanzhi's heart trembled as he stared at Han Tingxuan.

Han Tingxuan pulled him back into his arms smilingly. "You know. I don't mind returning all favor we receive, even at the cost of double that favor. But there is no way I can return the hatred with love. Do you understand?

Mo Yanzhi's mouth trembled. After a long time, tears dropped along his face but disappeared very quickly.

"So, I am with you when you make any decision. What you just did is great."

Mo Yanzhi's lips curved slightly. "Great? Hubby, I can guarantee that daddy will spread the word that I am an unfilial son when he returns home. Soon, there will be other troubles. Maybe it was about my big brother, maybe about younger brother, or...father."

"Are you scared?" Han Tingxuan raised an eyebrow.

Mo Yanzhi shook his head. "I'm not afraid. I'm worried that you will be annoyed by them."

The corner of Han Tingxuan's mouth curved. "I don't think it is likely. I will be very busy for the next days. So I won't be at home during the day. There is a small chance that I will see them by then. They wouldn't bother me."

"Will you be busy?" Mo Yanzhi thought of wheeled plough. "Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, it's time to work," Han Tingxuan smiled.

Mo Yanzhi nodded, "Just let me know if you need my help."

"That's for sure!" Han Tingxuan laughed.

They said something else, then Mo Yanzhi went to keep an eye on the store. He was completely calmed down after the conversation with Han Tingxuan.

His husband was indeed special. It was a right decision to give his virginity and heart to him.

With that thought, Mo Yanzhi's lips slowly curved, and then his palm unconsciously placed on his stomach. Now, it seemed like the time to have a child of their own.

Thinking about the child, Mo Yanzhi could not help but wonder whom their child would resemble, him or Han Tingxuan.

Two days later, after Han Tingxuan organized the information collected about the states and two cities, he smiled. He had thought that the Restaurant of Bon Appetite was a chain brand, but he never imagined that the Restaurant of Bon Appetite had already developed to this extent!

There were branch stores of Restaurant of Bon Appetite in all the three cities and the nine states!

This was the era where the imperial power was supreme. More specifically, it was the era of big clans. Then, the Restaurant of Bon Appetite was developed to its current scale. There must someone in the government behind the business.

Yun Shen... I hope you won't disappoint me!

Qian Rongying came back and was talking to Zhou Lin at the Restaurant of Bon Appetite.

At this moment, a waiter came over and said that Han Tingxuan was here, but he was looking for Yun Shen!

Qian Rongying and Zhou Lin looked at each other, then Zhou Lin left first. He asked the waiter to bring Han Tingxuan to the backyard.

Han Tingxuan and Zhou Lin made some small talk.

"Boss Han, what brings you here?" Zhou Lin laughed.

Although Han Tingxuan ran a small shop now, it was still overflattered that Zhou Lin addressed him as Boss Han. Obviously, Zhou Lin was being polite.

Han Tingxuan smiled and shook his head. "I am so flattered, Shopkeeper Zhou. For your information, I'm here today to discuss a business with Brother Yun Shen."

"Eh? With my boss?" Zhou Lin blinked and a little surprised. He hurriedly asked, "Is it a problem with the recipe? If that... "

"Haha, it's not a business about the recipe," Han Tingxuan smiled and shook his head. "It's some other business. I believe Brother Yun Shen will be interested."

Zhou Lin hesitated for a while and said, "To be honest, he has been a little busy these days, and he is not here now. But our chief shopkeeper is here. Well..."

Han Tingxuan smiled bitterly and looked very sincere.

"To tell you the truth, this business matters a lot. If anything happened..." Han Tingxuan pointed at his neck. "I'm afraid I might be beheaded. So I have to talk to Brother Yun Shen alone..."

Zhou Lin was shocked and his heart skipped a beat. What kind of business could actually be related to such a big deal!

He thought about it and said. "I don't know where he is. Let me ask chief shopkeeper, he might know."

"Great." Han Tingxuan cupped his hands together and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Zhou."

Zhou Lin left. Qian Rongying squinted when he heard what Zhou Lin said. "A big business that might behead him?" His gaze flashed slightly. "Master Yun has ordered that we should report to him whenever Han Tingxuan come. Here is what we should do. Contact the secret guard downstairs and ask him to send a letter to Master Yun as soon as possible. Whether Master Yun chooses to come immediately, that's his decision."

Zhou Lin asked again. "Contact the secret guard here? Perhaps we can make Han Tingxuan wait for a moment."

Qian Rongying shook his head slowly. "Do as I say."

There was a reason that Qian Rongying was Chief shopkeeper and Zhou Lin was the second shopkeeper.

Zhou Lin immediately did what Qian Rongying said while Qian Rongying himself went out to entertain Han Tingxuan and brought him to a quiet chamber at the back of Restaurant of Bon Appetite.

"Haha, Boss Han, my master is really busy. I've already sent someone to deliver the message. I am not sure if we can find him. However, he will definitely come back at night. Boss Han can wait here or leave first. When he returns, I'll send someone to inform you."

"Haha, there's no need for trouble," Han Tingxuan smiled. "I'm not busy anyway. So I will wait here."

Qian Rongying smiled. "Brilliant!"

Han Tingxuan was not an idiot. Of course, he understood what Qian Rongying was hinting.

If Yun Shen returned immediately, it was a way to show that he valued Han Tingxuan very much.

If Yun Shen did not come back immediately, it was not a big deal. It meant that Yun Shen was really busy, but he would definitely come back at night at the latest. This was also a show of importance, because Han Tingxuan would be well served.

He would love to see how much Yun Shen valued him!

This would be a big factor of whether he should carry out his plan with Yunshen.

Han Tingxuan thought about his plan while drinking tea and chatting with Qian Rongying.
