Chapter 316: Grand Opening (3)_1
Ying Tao’s words broke through the last of Da Jun’s restraint, and he crouched down on the ground, hugging his head and sobbing loudly, all the while muttering something to himself.
Lin Yuan, standing at a distance, couldn’t hear him clearly, but with this she had understood the relationship between the two. Although she was curious about the girl Ying Tao mentioned, hearing that they had done nothing disgraceful, she was relieved.
No longer interested in eavesdropping, Lin Yuan shook her head and turned away, thinking to herself that they were all people with tough lives.
The opening date for Rice Flower Fragrance was set, and as Lin Yuan busied herself with preparations, she fretted over whether to inform Xia Zheng. Truth be told, she dearly wished for his return to witness the opening of her new shop.
She had been exchanging messages with Xia Zheng via little green birds, sharing only trivial everyday matters. His replies were always along the lines of "Your husband is unharmed, put your mind at ease," or "Your husband is lonely and misses you terribly; do you miss your husband as well?"
Perhaps it was due to reading the phrases "your husband" and "your wife" too many times, Lin Yuan now found herself quite indifferent when facing these once sensitive terms. If Xia Zheng were to one day not use "your husband" or "your wife," Lin Yuan might feel a bit uncomfortable.
However, frequent as their communication was, not a single message detailed when he might return, leading Lin Yuan to guess it would still be some days away. She carefully tied all the notes together with a red string and placed them in her makeup drawer, then into a large chest for bedding.
