The pink veil was held in her hand, fluttering gently in the breeze.
A faint, pleasant fragrance filled the air, and three words were embroidered on the veil.
Wang Qiu'er.
It seems I was right after all; it really was her!
Should I call you Wang Qiu'er, or the Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion?
The girl looked at him with some surprise, her eyes revealing three parts joy and seven parts bewilderment, most likely the panic after he had discovered her identity.
"You... I... I'm not!" She panicked instantly, her long, slender, white legs twitching slightly, as if she wanted to escape.
But how could things go as she wished? He took her hand and pulled her back.
Cao Yu held her tightly in his arms.
There were many people passing by, so he chose a quiet corner to sit on the stone bench.
The girl's head was pressed tightly against his body, and he could hear her clear, strong heartbeat.
Smelling that masculine scent unique to men, her face flushed bright red, and her heart began to pound wildly.
"Since you're here, do you think you can leave? Sit down and let's talk properly."
He gently stroked her light blue hair and asked, "When did you arrive?"
Wang Qiu'er quickly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, and stammered, "It... it happened today."
"How... how did you recognize me?"
"Just like you recognized me."
Only then did Wang Qiu'er raise her head to look at him, though her eyes still flickered with a hint of shyness.
"But... I wasn't like this before."
"Haha, I knew it just by feeling."
Wang Qiu'er looked up at the person in front of her and said softly, "You've grown even more handsome than when you were little, and you're so tall now." After saying this, she reached out her fair right hand and gently stroked Cao Yu's handsome face.
It felt warm, but also a little itchy—that was Cao Yu's immediate sensation.
Wang Qiu'er still remembers what he looked like when he was a child.
He was a little chubby back then, and he was especially cute.
The two stayed there for a while, until it was time for dinner, when they slowly got up and left.
Holding Wang Qiu'er's delicate hand, they arrived at the restaurant that Cao Yu had once opened.
As luck would have it, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei were also sitting inside eating.
When Xu Sanshi saw the two people walk in from outside the store, he almost spat out his food.
Finally, he hurriedly patted Bei Bei sitting opposite him and said, " Young Master Cao is back, and he's hooked up with another pretty junior somewhere."
"Where?" Bei Bei slowly turned her head, looking at the two holding hands, the girl's stunning beauty, and then at Cao Yu's smug smile.
A storm raged within both of them.
This junior Cao Yu, is really something!
He truly lives up to his reputation as a "beauty magnet," wow, he's living the good life!
Their eyes also revealed a look of envy.
" Young Master Cao, when did you get back?" Xu Sanshi waved to Cao Yu, feeling a surge of warmth as they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
He then couldn't help but give Cao Yu a thumbs up, the meaning of which was obvious. Cao Yu could only smile slightly and acknowledge the compliment.
"I just got back yesterday, want to grab a bite to eat together?"
Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei quickly waved their hands and said, "No, no, we're already full, we won't bother you any longer."
Why would they want to eat this dog food? Wouldn't that be just asking for trouble?
After saying that, the two hurriedly packed up the remaining food and left the restaurant.
" Young Master Cao, let's get together again next time! We'll definitely come then."
Haha! Take care.
His gaze returned to Wang Qiu'er, and the next second he pulled her to an empty seat.
Just as the waiter was about to walk towards them, the manager, who was busy in the kitchen, suddenly felt that the man's face looked somewhat familiar.
Isn't that Boss Cao?
He quickly realized what was happening, stopped the waiter, snatched the paper and pen from his hand, and ordered, "I'll do it, I'll do it, you check the fire."
Then he flung open the curtain at the kitchen door and jogged over to Cao Yu's side.
He bowed slightly and asked in a friendly manner, "Boss, when did you get back?"
"Just yesterday."
"Oh, what would you like to order, boss?"
"I'd like a hot pot and six grilled fish, and please add extra meat to the hot pot."
After noting these down on paper, the manager quickly asked, "Would you like it spicy?"
Cao Yu looked at Wang Qiu'er and asked, "Can you eat spicy food?"
Wang Qiu'er nodded and smiled slightly, "Yes, it's best if it's a little spicy. I like spicy food, hehe."
"Okay, make them all spicy then."
The store manager smiled and gestured to him, "Then please wait a moment, boss." He then slowly backed away, calling over a waiter to bring over several bottles of fine wine.
Several tens of minutes later, steam was rising in front of the two of them, and they placed the cooked meat slices into Wang Qiu'er's bowl.
"Come and try it, see if it suits your taste."
"Hehe, thank you."
With her slender, delicate fingers Wang Qiu'er tucked the hair that fell across her face behind her ears, picked up a slice of meat from the bowl, and took a small bite.
After tasting it, a glint seemed to flash in her eyes, and she exclaimed, "It's so delicious!"
Cao Yu said with a smile, "Eat as much as you like. This is my restaurant, so eat as much as you want."
"What if I gain weight?"
"It's okay, others may not want you, but I do."
"Eh~~" Wang Qiu'er blushed slightly, then picked up some cooked meat slices and put them into Cao Yu's bowl, saying softly, "Here, you eat too."
A smile appeared on Cao Yu's lips as he chuckled, "I really have to try the one you picked up."
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them had finished eating and drinking, and sat lazily on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.
" Cao Yu, I'm so full, I can't even walk anymore," Wang Qiu'er said, turning her head to Cao Yu, her little hand constantly rubbing her belly.
Judging from the bulge in her clothes, she was clearly quite full.
"Then let's stay a little longer. There's no rush to go back later."
Wang Qiu'er nodded, then said happily, "I'll come here again next time, hehe."
"This street has more than just these foods; you can try other things too, they might even be better."
"Then you should treat me, I don't have any money on me." Wang Qiu'er reached into her pockets, looking pitiful.
However, Cao Yu noticed the mischievous smile that appeared on her lips.
It seems she's clinging to me.
"Okay, it's on me."
Wang Qiu'er quickly shook her head, raised her head to think for a moment, her fair chin looking somewhat alluring, before slowly saying, "No, I'll treat you, you pay the bill."
Cao Yue gently tapped her little head and said, "You little rascal, who taught you that trick?"
