Chapter 1056 - 1058: Princess Zhao Yue (6)
"Miss, is it okay for you to sit there?"
The shop assistant pointed to a window-side spot in the corner of the main hall. The view from that position was perfect; you could enjoy an unobstructed view of the street scene and also take in everything happening inside the restaurant.
"That’s fine!"
Cai Wei spoke, and she and Huan Qiu walked over to the spot, casually asking on the way, "Have you got a new shopkeeper here? Why isn’t Boss Ma around?"
The shop assistant replied, "No, no, it’s just that our Boss Ma has had some matters to take care of recently. This scholar was temporarily asked to help!" After settling Cai Wei into the spot, the shop assistant took the towel off his shoulder and wiped the table down again. Huan Qiu spread out a handkerchief for padding before inviting Cai Wei to sit.
Once Cai Wei settled in, she asked seemingly offhandedly, "Does your shopkeeper have some important business? So busy he’s not showing up for work?"
The shop assistant curled his lip and muttered, "Who knows, he’s mysterious every day, like trying to see the head of a dragon but never its tail..."
"All right, you can go down. Bring up a pot of Biluochun tea and pick out a few vegetarian dishes to serve."
Cai Wei dismissed the shop assistant and used thought to contact Brother Ying, releasing him from her space to look into Boss Ma’s whereabouts.
At this moment, Boss Ma was sitting in the small hall of the Nursing Homes. For several days, he hadn’t seen Lady Mo. Today, he had spent a good deal of money, donating five fine cotton cloths. With these gifts, he simply didn’t believe Lady Mo could resist seeing him.
However, Lady Mo really didn’t show up. He sat in the chair, stretching his neck and constantly looking in the direction of the door. From noon until the sun set, he was almost turning into the husband-watching rock, but Lady Mo still didn’t appear.
