Setting Up a Stall After Divorce with a Child, the CEO Ex-Wife Chases Him Back

One of them even cracked a joke.

"We're not giving the kid away, but you ladies can try the fried noodles. They taste great."

"Then I'll get one, with an egg."

"Sure."

Lu Qin swiftly got to work on the fried noodles.

The girls watched Lu Qin with starry eyes.

Didn't they always say that men were most handsome when they were serious about their work? Lu Qin, focused on frying noodles, was exactly that.

After seeing so many greasy middle-aged stall owners, Lu Qin's clean, handsome look in an apron was truly captivating.

"Wow! That smells amazing!"

The fried noodles were ready in no time. Lu Qin skillfully packed them up. "Here."

The rich aroma made all the girls swallow.

The stalls in this alley didn't provide tables or chairs. Everything was packed up to go.

"Boss, we're off. If it's good, we'll come back for more."

They had originally bought a serving of fried noodles just because Lu Qin and Lu Xiyao were so good-looking.

But once the noodles were done, they changed their minds.

"Hurry and find somewhere to sit. I want to try the handsome boss's fried noodles. They smell so good!"

The girls left the alley and quickly found a spot in the night market to sit down and eat.

"There's only one pair of chopsticks? Why didn't you take a few more?"

"I asked if you wanted any, and you all said no. How could I shamelessly take extra chopsticks for one serving of fried noodles?"

They each took turns picking up a bite of fried noodles and stuffing it into their mouths.

At once, all their eyes lit up.

"Oh my God, this is so good!"

"It's fragrant and springy. I've never had fried noodles this delicious."

"These fried noodles are absolutely incredible!"

"No way, one serving isn't enough. Hurry and go buy more."

"..."

The people around them saw how exaggeratedly they were enjoying a plate of fried noodles and all turned to look.

"Miss, where did you buy those fried noodles? They smell great!"

"Babe! I want fried noodles from that place too. They look really delicious. Can you go buy some for me?"

"Excuse me, where did you buy those fried noodles?"

"In that narrow alley."

"The alley? There are several fried noodle stalls there. Which one?"

"The one all the way inside, where the stall owner is insanely handsome. And there's an adorable little kid too. Wait, I'll take you there. I'm buying five more servings myself—I haven't had enough!"

That little girl was so wonderful! Truly someone else's child!

At the entrance of the alley.

Liu's Fried Noodles.

Master Liu's fried noodles sold best around University Town, and sometimes customers even had to line up.

At that moment, six or seven customers were already waiting in front of his stall.

"Master, your wok-tossing is so skilled. You graduated from New Oriental Culinary School, right?"

"I only eat fried noodles from Master Liu's stall. His noodles are spicy and fresh. I come here every few days."

Hearing the praise, Master Liu's face took on a proud look, and he tossed the wok even more vigorously.

The flames surged high.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "What's New Oriental Culinary School? When I was young, I traveled all over the country. I learned to make fried noodles from an old master in Shantou. He'd been frying noodles his whole life, so of course his food was top-notch. I inherited all of his true skills!"

"No wonder. My girlfriend especially loves Master Liu's fried noodles. Every time, she makes me run errands to buy them for her."

Master Liu said, "If she likes them, come every day. Don't think fried noodles are simple—there's a lot to them. For example, whether you fry the egg first or the noodles first..."

Master Liu worked while enthusiastically boasting.

Just then, eight or nine customers came running over excitedly.

"Is this the alley? Which fried noodle stall is it?"

"This is the alley. There's a handsome guy's fried noodle stall here, and it tastes unbelievably good!"

Master Liu froze, then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must be talking about my fried noodles. Please line up—there are still five orders ahead of you."

"Stop kidding around, Uncle. Not yours."

"This place tastes all right too, but it's definitely nowhere near as good as the handsome guy's fried noodles."

Master Liu asked in confusion, "What? I can't speak for other places, but around University Town, are there fried noodles better than mine, Old Liu's?"

"Way better. And the stall owner is super handsome."

Master Liu said, "Super handsome? More handsome than me?"

Pfft!

A customer who was drinking water spat it out.

The group didn't stop and headed deeper into the alley to look.

Four or five customers waiting at Liu's Fried Noodles saw how fired up that group was and began feeling tempted too.

"Master, you haven't fried mine yet, right? I don't want it anymore."

"Me too. I don't want mine either."

Master Liu said, "Hey, hey..."

Master Liu still held the spatula in his hand, his heart growing anxious. What was going on?

Two customers had already paid in advance, otherwise they would have gone to join the commotion too.

Were there really fried noodles that delicious inside?

Master Liu glanced at them and urged, "Trust what's right in front of you, what you've already eaten. Don't blindly join the crowd. You might end up getting burned."

The two looked at each other and nodded. Getting burned was indeed possible, so they should just obediently wait for this stall's fried noodles.

Inside the alley.

Guan Dong Zhu Vendor shook his head at Lu Qin and said, "You came too late today and didn't grab one of the prime spots near the alley entrance. Get up early tomorrow. I don't think there'll be much business later anyway, so let's call it a day early."

He had been setting up a stall in University Town for three years, so he had clearly encountered this situation many times. Business later on definitely wouldn't be good.

Lu Qin checked the time. It was eight thirty. He thought about how the little one usually went to bed around nine thirty. It was a little early now, but if there was no business, they could go home.

One good thing about running a stall was the freedom.

Lu Qin thought that from now on, he would try to set up during the day and spend the evenings with the little one.

"Yao Yao, it's getting late. We're packing up too."

"Huh? Papa, it's only eight thirty."

The little one was extremely interested in running the stall and didn't find it boring at all.

Besides, she was waiting to get hungry. Once she was hungry later, she could have another serving of fried noodles.

Papa's fried noodles were super delicious.

"Tomorrow is Friday, and you still have kindergarten. You can't stay up too late."

The dismal earnings from his first time setting up a stall were within Lu Qin's expectations. After all, he had zero popularity at the start. No one knew about his fried noodles, so how could they sell well?

Just as he was about to pack up, a group of people suddenly rushed over, men and women alike.

"This is the place!"

"A super handsome guy, and he even has a kid with him!"

Lu Qin stopped what he was doing and looked at them in surprise.

"You are...?"

"Boss, you're closing up already? Isn't that way too early?"

"I haven't closed yet. Hurry, give me one serving of fried noodles!"

"Yeah, yeah, Boss, I want one too—no, make that two!"
