"Neither do I."
"You at least have one of those huge, blackboard-sized TVs at home, right~?"
"I don't have that either."
"Then you can't be my stepmom~!"
Everyone around them was stunned.
The little girl looked utterly innocent, and there was not a trace of snobbery or materialism in her words.
Everyone began guessing whether the conditions the little girl had mentioned were actually her birth mother's standards.
If someone wanted to become her stepmother, her conditions had to at least be better than her birth mother's, right?
Otherwise, why would she settle?
The young girls who had wanted to become her stepmother all backed down.
What a joke. None of them had a huge villa.
That made sense. Boss Lu and the little girl were both so outstanding; surely his ex-wife's circumstances were no worse.
"Boss Lu's ex-wife must have been blind. She gave up such a great husband and daughter."
"Exactly! With Boss Lu's cooking skills alone, I'd cling to him for the rest of my life!"
Hearing the discussion, even Fang Ya could not help nodding. She walked over and chimed in:
"Isn't that right? Boss Lu's ex-wife was really blind!"
"Right, beautiful? Great minds think alike."
"Mm."
Fang Ya nodded seriously, then took out her phone and sent Shen Muyan a WeChat message.
"Boss Lu's ex-wife was a blind monk."
Two minutes later, Shen Muyan replied: ?
Fang Ya took another photo. It showed little Yao Yao sitting obediently on a small stool, holding a huge pile of snacks in her hands.
The customers around her treated the little girl like she was surrounded by stars.
She was everyone's little princess, their darling.
Shen Muyan quickly replied: ??
But Fang Ya suddenly stopped chatting with Shen Muyan. She switched her phone to silent mode, then went off to do something more important.
"Yao Yao, darling!"
Fang Ya's sudden appearance caught Lu Xiyao by surprise. She asked delightedly:
"Auntie Fang Ya, why are you here?"
The little girl turned toward Lu Qin and called, "papa, Auntie Fang Ya is here~!"
Lu Qin had just finished packing several portions of fried rice noodles. He said to the little girl, "Daddy saw it."
Then Lu Qin turned to Fang Ya and said with a smile:
"You're here? There's nowhere to sit, only small stools."
They had barely exchanged a few words when the customers in line grew impatient.
"Boss Lu, hurry up and fry the noodles! Lives are at stake here. Chat while you cook, but don't stop moving!"
Lu Qin gave Fang Ya an apologetic smile, then turned to the little girl.
"Yao Yao, help me entertain Auntie Fang Ya. Papa needs to get busy first."
Fang Ya said, "Don't worry about me. Go ahead and work, Boss Lu."
Lu Xiyao patted her chest. "Papa, go work. I'll entertain Auntie Fang Ya."
As she spoke, the little girl took another small stool from the food cart, unfolded it, placed it beside her own stool, and patted it.
"Auntie Fang Ya, let's sit together~!"
Was she asking her to be a mascot with her?
Fang Ya smiled and sat down. Then the little girl went to retrieve something from the foam cooler.
She took out two cups of Iced Mung Bean Paste and a box of Ice Crystal Cake.
Fang Ya's eyes immediately lit up.
"Auntie Fang Ya, try the Mung Bean Paste my papa made. It's super delicious~!"
"And this Ice Crystal Cake is really tasty too~!"
Fang Ya swallowed and accepted them without ceremony.
"Come on, Yao Yao, darling. Let's eat together."
"Okay~!"
After eating the Ice Crystal Cake, she was completely wrapped in happiness!
Fang Ya inserted a straw and took a loud sip of the iced Mung Bean Paste.
Her eyes instantly narrowed into crescents.
This Mung Bean Paste—
Was way too good?!
Amazing!
Fang Ya had never had such delicious Mung Bean Paste before!
Seeing Fang Ya's expression, Lu Xiyao said proudly:
"Hehe~! What do you think, Auntie Fang Ya? Isn't my papa's Mung Bean Paste delicious~?"
"It's incredibly delicious!"
Fang Ya nodded vigorously.
Lu Xiyao opened the Ice Crystal Cake, and the two of them began eating together.
The little girl had eaten dinner not long ago. She was craving it, but could not manage more than two pieces.
Fang Ya had finally gotten to eat the Ice Crystal Cake she had been yearning for, and she was completely wrapped in happiness.
Ice Crystal Cake with Mung Bean Paste—absolutely perfect!
As Fang Ya ate, she observed the state of business at Lu Qin's stall.
The customers waiting in line had already spilled onto the road.
And new customers kept arriving.
This level of popularity was simply unprecedented.
Meanwhile.
Shen Muyan was handling documents in her office when her phone suddenly vibrated twice.
She stopped what she was doing and picked it up for a look.
It was Fang Ya.
The other woman had inexplicably sent something about a "blind monk."
Shen Muyan did not play games and had no idea what it meant.
Then, she received a photo of the little girl.
That photo successfully caught Shen Muyan's attention.
Shen Muyan rarely put down her work to ask where the photo had been taken.
Why was Fang Ya able to take that photo?
But the result... was like a stone sinking into the sea.
Fang Ya actually stopped replying.
Shen Muyan called her directly, but Fang Ya did not answer.
Shen Muyan furrowed her delicate brows, her heart full of curiosity.
"What is wrong with Fang Ya? Why isn't she answering the phone?!"
But Fang Ya's phone was on silent, so she could not hear it at all.
She was accompanying Lu Xiyao as they played a spot-the-difference game on the tablet.
They played while drinking Iced Mung Bean Paste and devouring Ice Crystal Cake.
This life was way too blissful!
