Xu Qingtang Restaurant opened on the 20th day of the first lunar month. A few days before the opening, Qingxi was busy, excited, and worried that the business was indifferent on the opening day.

But unlike when the noodle restaurant was first opened two years ago, Qingxi is now becoming more and more like a real restaurant shopkeeper. From the renovation of the restaurant, the addition of kitchen utensils to the promotion of the newspaper before opening, Qingxi almost prepared it himself. Master Zhao, Mrs. Xu, Master Yang, and even Gu Huaixiu, all of them only helped to give some small suggestions on improvement.

This is a restaurant belonging to Qingxi.

On the 18th day, Qingxi continued to visit the restaurant.

"Miss, have a little tea." The new guy made tea and greeted enthusiastically.

Qingxi sat down happily and saw a group of guys preparing in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, the entrance of the restaurant darkened, and Qingxi looked over casually.

Gu Mingyan stood there in a straight suit, looking at her with a smile. The young rich boy in his early twenties showed some vicissitudes of life.

"Can I come in?" Gu Mingyan took off the hat on his head and asked jokingly.

Gu Mingyan hasn't appeared on his own initiative for a long time. Qingxi speculated that Gu Mingyan would probably have a serious business this time.

She nodded to Gu Mingyan and ordered her friend to serve another bowl of tea.

"Is there anything wrong?" Qingxi asked politely after Gu Mingyan sat down.

Gu Mingyan looked at Qingxi opposite him carefully and felt that she seemed to have no change from the girl she remembered, but that calm and confident demeanor was unfamiliar with Gu Mingyan. Over the past year, he missed her glory at the food festival, missed her winning of the chef in Xiucheng, and missed the Xu family's grievances.

"If you don't have anything to do, you can't come?" Gu Mingyan teased deliberately.

Qingxi looked at him calmly.

Gu Mingyan couldn't laugh anymore and looked at Qingxi Road: "The textile factory signed a contract with a British company. I will ship the goods to the sea tomorrow. I will also go with me. If it goes well, I may be able to come back for the Dragon Boat Festival."

Qingxi's heart moved slightly, remembering that Gu Huaixiu once mentioned that if the Gu family's business went smoothly, Gu Mingyan and his son would be able to make a comeback. He also remembered that Gu Huaixiu said that he would not give the father and son a chance.

"Qingxi, I haven't seen you for three months, I will miss you."

Just as Qingxi recalled Gu Huaixiu's words, the man opposite suddenly said this.

Qingxi pursed her lips, but before she could remind Gu Mingyan to pay attention to her words, Gu Mingyan looked at her deeply and stood up and left. The light in the restaurant was dim. He stepped into the sunny street from the darkness, and his thin side face inexplicably gave people a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Qingxi stared blankly at the door.

As people came and went, she seemed to see the Gu family’s eldest son who went to the station to pick her up with her grandmother that year, and the Gu Mingyan who got up early and ran with her in the morning.

She and Gu Mingyan have no grudges or grudges.

If possible, she really hopes that Gu Mingyan's trip will go smoothly, but Qingxi hopes that Gu Huaixiu, who lost his mother in childhood, can get what he wants.

Gu Mingyan left and Xu Qingtang opened.

After Qingxi came to Hangzhou, it was quite popular, including noodle restaurants, food festivals and chef god reports in Xiucheng. All of this made Xu Qingtang famous. Therefore, on the opening day, the restaurant business was very popular. The top diners who love food came to taste the dishes of the new restaurant out of curiosity, while ordinary people were attracted by the discounts for the first three days of the restaurant.

Old Mrs. Xu was entertaining VIPs outside, and Qingxi and the chefs were busy in the kitchen. After a while, they heard a loud shout:

"The mountain guest congratulates Xu Qingtang on its great opening and gives you a pair of flower baskets!"

"Ting Tao Fang congratulates Xu Qingtang on its great opening and gives you a pair of flower baskets!"

...

"Jiangsheng Bank congratulates Xu Qingtang on its opening and gives you a pair of flower baskets!"

Qingxi paused, but then she thought that Han Rong came to the door to add glory to the restaurant. No matter how much her grandmother didn't like the Han family's proposal, she wouldn't show it today. With her grandmother in charge outside, she could cook with peace of mind.

Although she spent a day in the kitchen, she worked hard, but her business was better than she expected. Qingxi slept at night with peace of mind.

The next day, Qingxi came to the restaurant again.

Master Zhao smiled and advised her: "Miss, let's have more rest. We are enough in the kitchen, so you don't have to worry."

In Xiucheng, the shopkeepers of each restaurant are good at cooking, but most of the time they don’t cook in person, so they basically leave it to the chefs. If the hands are itchy, or if the customers call for the shopkeeper’s specialty and skill, the shopkeepers will be busy for a while and continue to enjoy the happiness after they are busy.

Qingxi didn't expect to stay in the kitchen all the time, but as soon as she opened, she couldn't control her excitement.

The restaurant closed at 8 o'clock in the evening, and at around 7 o'clock, Qingxi was about to go home, so the guy trotted over and said that a guest from the private room asked her to come over to talk about the dishes.

The famous dishes in big restaurants are all particular. Usually, the guys will memorize the words in advance and the customer can answer them as soon as he asks. However, the customer disliked the guy's words, so he insisted on the shopkeeper to speak.

Qingxi thought he had met a picky diner, so he walked to the private room and asked about the diners' situation.

The guy hummed and said disdainfully: "He is a man in a suit. He looks quite rich, but he has a strange problem. When I wear sunglasses at night, I almost treat him as blind."

Qingxi:...

"Okay, I understand. You go and do it first, I can handle it here." Qingxi held back a smile.

The guy was worried that his beautiful and young boss's wife would be bullied and insisted on accompanying her. Qingxi repeatedly stated that there was no problem. Someone in another private room called him a guy, and the guy gave up.

Qingxi walked to Gu Huaixiu's private room, looked around and confirmed that there was no one, so she quickly pushed the door and entered.

The windows of the private room are closed, and there are crystal lamps carefully selected by Qingxi on them. The lights illuminate the landscape paintings on the walls, which are elegant and beautiful.

"The environment is good." Gu Huaixiu took off his sunglasses and briefly praised his little woman.

"Where is the food?" Qingxi asked proudly. She also felt that the decoration of the restaurant was beautiful, of course, and it was also expensive. Grandma was generous and fully supported her to build the restaurant. When Qingxi purchased decoration materials, she decided that the restaurant made money and must return the portion of her grandmother to allow her to retire with peace of mind.

Gu Huaixiu pulled her to her legs and hugged her, and glanced at the four dishes on the table: "Which one was made by you?"

Qingxi moved the plate of Longjing shrimps over.

Gu Huaixiu held her with one hand and picked up chopsticks with the other hand and picked up a shrimp, but he sent it to Qingxi's mouth.

Qingxi had eaten it, but the shrimps had already reached her mouth, so she took it with a blushing face. However, before she could bite it with her teeth, Gu Huaixiu suddenly leaned over, prying open her lips domineeringly and snatched the shrimps away!

It’s not a kinship, but it’s greedy. Gu Huaixiu put a whole plate of shrimps without eating and insisted on robbing her. What else can he do except kiss her?

"You have dinner first." Qingxi turned his head and said.

"Not hungry." Gu Huaixiu swallowed the shrimp, stopped her tender face, and kissed her again.

This time he not only moved his lips and tongue, but also his hands.

Qingxi's little hand could not twist him. She was afraid that the noise would spread to the next room, so she could only indulge in all the actions of the man. When the long kiss ended, Qingxi leaned weakly on Gu Huaixiu's shoulder and panted slightly, her collar loosened and her clothes were chaotic. What's even more annoying was that Gu Huaixiu's hand had not left yet.

"It's time for me to leave." Qingxi blushed and tried to pull his hand away.

Gu Huaixue didn't move at all and asked her: "Have Gu Mingyan found you?"

Qingxi's shyness and throbbing heart was diluted by his problems.

She looked up and looked at the man above her head. Could it be that he came tonight not because he missed her, but because he was asking for guilt?

"He has been here." Qingxi did not deny it.

Gu Huaixiu: "What did you say?"

Qingxi told him everything.

"What would you do if he went there but never returned?" Gu Huaixiu pulled out his hand and tied up his clothes for her.

Qingxi was shocked.

Gu Huaixiu said calmly: "I have killed many people. I cut the heads I sent there two years ago."

When it comes to human heads, Qingxi feels nauseous uncontrollably. She will never forget that scene in her life and just don’t think about it.

"What did you tell me about this?" Qingxi didn't want to hear about his murder, nor did she want to associate Gu Huaixiu with murder, even though she could guess it long ago.

"I want to know if I kill him, will you blame me?" Gu Huaixiu held the girl's face and refused to let her avoid it.

Under the light, the man's black eyes were as deep as a cold pond, and the clear stream could not tell. If he was just talking, he would still be serious.

Will Gu Mingyan die?

Qingxi's face turned pale. After all, she was a person she knew, and Gu Mingyan had really helped her.

"Go home." Gu Huaixiu helped her stand up and pulled her slightly messy dress.

When doing this, he lowered his head, carefully and gentle, like a husband who can discuss things.

An impulse suddenly surged in his chest, Qingxi hugged his head and bent down to plead for Gu Mingyan: "You hate them, I understand, but he did not participate, and he would not die."

Old Luo and his son killed their father. When they were executed, Qingxi only felt that the father and son were dead. He only felt that this would not completely eliminate the hatred in her heart, because no matter what, his father could not come back, but Qingxi never thought that the rest of the Luo family would pay for their father's life. The evil that Mrs. Gu committed by Mrs. Gu Huaixiu wanted the Gu family to lose money and be in poverty. This is his way of venting hatred. He has this right, but Gu Mingyan should not have died in vain because of Mrs. Gu's mistake.

Gu Huaixiu seemed to have not heard of it, and confirmed that her dress had returned to its original state. Gu Huaixiu held her hands, put them down, and let them go.

Qingxi was a little panicked. Was he angry?

"I sent someone to give you the photo of Gu Mingyan and Shen Rumei." Gu Huaixiu stood up straight and looked at her with his eyes down.

Qingxi was stunned for a moment before realizing what the photo he was talking about, and asked in surprise: "You..."

"There is no photo, you are already together." Gu Huaixiu sneered. After seeing the photo, she knew Gu Mingyan's betrayal, and she actually wanted to plead for Gu Mingyan, which shows how moved she was at that time.

is that so?

Qingxi tried to imagine that if she hadn't had those photos, she might have liked Gu Mingyan's romance and considerate, and at the same time, she missed Gu Huaixiu.

"Do you regret sending me a photo?" Qingxi raised his head and asked in a daze.

It was not about asking him why he did that, nor about scolding him as a villain, but about asking him if he regretted it.

Gu Huaixiu didn't understand what she was thinking, but he saw the sadness in the girl's eyes.

"I only regret that the photos were not delivered early enough." Gu Huaixiu said lightly, with a cold expression.

Qingxi smiled. It turned out that he was not angry, not so angry that he wanted to separate, but was jealous.

She said nothing, threw herself into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Giving photos behind the scenes to destroy them is indeed a villain for Gu Mingyan, but Qingxi is very glad that there is more of this person named Gu Huaixiu in her world.

There was no need to say some words. The girl's initiative to throw herself into her arms was enough to comfort Gu Huaixue's negative emotions. He kissed her and sent a message, and invited her, "I'll test the drive on the weekend, go together?"

Qingxi was both surprised and happy: "Finally made?"

Gu Huaixiu smiled: "It's been better, and it's been improving."

Cars are his ambition, and Qingxi sincerely feels happy for his man.

"Go back, it's getting late." Gu Huaixiu looked at his watch and remembered the time for her.

Qingxi bit his lips, but he stopped talking.
