Wei Suxin came out of Liu Yuefu's private room, feeling very excited.

She returned to Ruyifang and sat for a while, but still couldn't calm down. Many questions were circling in her mind. It was as if she had blocked these questions in the past.

Wei Suxin hesitated to pick up the brush. She hesitated until the ink dripped from the tip of the brush and fell on the pure white paper, forming a black dot. Wei Suxin then started writing and wrote a sentence: Li Lang, I want to see you tonight.

"Qiandai, please go to the Dali Temple and personally deliver a letter to Li Lang." Wei Suxin folded the letter into three pieces, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Qiandai.

"Okay, girl." Qiandai agreed and went out with the envelope.

But Madam Zhao came in, holding a three-layer wooden food box with carved patterns. She smiled and said, "Suxin, I brought you some homemade snacks. Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Madam Zhao, you're so polite. It's my duty. Besides, I've been collecting profits from your shops for helping you run them, right?" Wei Suxin replied.

Madam Zhao laughed out loud when she heard this and said, "Suxin, I treat you as my sister now. I just made these snacks. I don't know if they suit your taste. Open them and try them."

"Then I will respectfully obey your command." Wei Suxin said with a smile. She took the food box from Zhao Niangzi, put it on the round table, and opened it. There were three layers of food boxes, each containing three plates of exquisite snacks.

Wei Suxin picked up a piece with her hand, took a bite, and her eyes lit up, "Madam Zhao, your cooking is so delicious."

Wei Suxin swallowed it all in one gulp.

"Slow down, there's more. Don't choke. No one is going to snatch it from you." Madam Zhao patted Wei Suxin on the back and said angrily.

Wei Suxin clenched her fists at a 90-degree angle at her chest, shook them a few times, and asked excitedly, "Madam Zhao, what is this?"

Wei Suxin took another bite. "It tastes sweet and smells like the fragrance of plum blossoms. It's like standing in a plum blossom forest, walking on the snow to find the fragrance."

"This is plum blossom cake. I picked plum blossoms from the plum blossom forest at home, crushed them into juice and mixed them with flour. The whole cake is kneaded with plum blossom juice, so the cake made in this way has a plum blossom fragrance. The filling is made of honey kneaded with plum petals." Madam Zhao replied with a smile.

Madam Zhao then said, "Try something else and see if you like it."

Wei Suxin then changed to another plate and ate with a smile, "I've eaten this before, it's bean cake, your cooking skills are as good as those sold outside."

"Your little mouth is as sweet as honey." Madam Zhao said angrily.

Wei Suxin's hand reached out for the last plate of white pastries that she hadn't eaten.

"Let me try this, hmm... crispy, sweet and delicious." Wei Suxin said as she ate another piece.

"As long as you like it. I'll make it for you when I have time in the future." Madam Zhao said with a smile.

Wei Suxin's mouth was full, and she puffed out her cheeks like a little hamster and said, "How can I be so embarrassed..."

"Suxin, if it weren't for you, my four shops would have lost all their money sooner or later. But now, the profits we get are actually better than when Manager Xun was here." Madam Zhao said with emotion.

"Madam Zhao, what is this white pastry?" Wei Suxin asked.

"Snowflake crisps, have you never eaten them?" said Madam Zhao.

When Wei Suxin heard Madam Zhao say it was snowflake crisps, she almost choked.

She even doubted her own ears.

In her impression, snowflake crisps would contain nuts and her favorite freeze-dried fruits, but she never ate them again after the car accident on the way to school.

Well, it’s been two years.

Could there be other travelers? But this doesn't look like the snowflake crisps in my memory.

"You probably haven't eaten this snowflake crisp. It has only recently become popular. I was just interested in it, so I thought about it and tried to make it twice last time and it was quite successful. Now I'm going to give it to you to try." Madam Zhao said with a smile.

"The method of making this snowflake crisp is very simple. If you like, you can learn to make it, and I can teach you. It's just a little more troublesome than frying noodles, and you have to pay attention to the oil temperature. It's very simple. After that, add some white sugar and knead it into dough, then roll it out and cut it into pieces." Madam Zhao said immediately.

The prototype of snowflake crisps actually existed in this era.

Wei Suxin had another idea in her mind, "Madam Zhao, I want to turn one of your shops into a pastry shop, what do you think?"

Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Do you have any ideas?"

Wei Suxin whispered something to Madam Zhao, who hesitated at first but then nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and then Madam Zhao said goodbye and left.

Not long after Madam Zhao left, Qiandai came back.

Qian Dai entered the room and bowed as usual, then replied, "Miss, I brought the letter. After reading it, Lord Li said that he was off duty today and came to see you."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work. You can go and have a rest. You don't have to serve me here." Wei Suxin said.

"Yes." Qiandai bowed slightly and retreated.

The sky gradually darkened, and Wei Suxin kept thinking about how she would face Li Jianzhang when he arrived.

With smile, with tears or with silence...

Her heart was in turmoil; Liu Yuefu's words seemed to have thrown a stone into the calm lake of her heart.

It was hard to calm down for a moment.

She desperately wanted to find Li Jianzhang for an answer and a reassuring promise.

That's it.

There were familiar footsteps outside the door. It was Li Lang.

Wei Suxin, however, felt a little homesick. She wanted to know the answer, but was afraid that the answer would shatter her.

Then reveal your own ridiculousness.

Li Jianzhang pushed the door open and walked in with his usual gentle smile on his face.

"Su Xin, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to find me today?" Li Jianzhang asked gently.

"Nothing, I just suddenly missed you..." Wei Su answered absentmindedly.

Li Jianzhang walked quickly towards Wei Suxin and held her in his arms, "I miss Suxin, too."

"Suxin, how have you prepared the money I told you about last time? Can you give it to me this month?" Li Jianzhang said as he gently touched Suxin's smooth black hair.

"I've raised the money. I'll settle with Madam Zhao at the end of the month. Adding the profits from the businesses I'm running, it should be almost enough by the end of the month." Wei Su thought for a moment and said subconsciously.

Then Liu Yuefu's questioning voice suddenly rang in her mind again. If he really loved you, why would he always let you give him money to help him with his career, regardless of whether you had any difficulties?

This voice spread out in her mind like ripples on a lake, echoing in Wei Suxin's mind over and over again.

Li Jianzhang kissed Wei Suxin on the forehead and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my wife. This is all for our future."

Is it really our future? Not yours...?

Wei Suxin couldn't get rid of Liu Yuefu's questioning. If he really loved you, how could he find a reason to reject your request for a status? It's just a status, and I can't even give it to you. Is it so difficult?

Wei Suxin said subconsciously: "I don't want to wait anymore, you two should get divorced now. I don't want to wait anymore, I want to be with you legitimately."

Li Jianzhang suddenly grabbed Wei Suxin's shoulders with both hands and said, "How can that be possible? How can we explain this to the Liu family?"

"Status? When did you care so much about these empty things? Didn't you not care about these empty statuses in the past?" Li Jianzhang asked several questions in a row and almost lost his composure.

He hugged Wei Suxin again after he finished speaking, "I'm sorry, Suxin, I was also thinking about our future. So I was a little anxious."

When Wei Suxin saw Li Jianzhang's reaction, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed...
