Chapter 1338 - 187, so expensive? _3
Zhao Hongsheng, who was sipping tea, set down his cup and gently pulled over Tang Ruyan’s delicate hand, tenderly stroking it, "Though it might be considered a shortcut, your contribution this time must be properly acknowledged."
Turning his head, Zhao Hongsheng’s eyes lingered affectionately on Tang Ruyan’s face without any regard for Yu Bin in the room, he hooked his fingers around hers with a meaningful lift of his eyebrows and whispered, "Tonight, wait for me."
A surge of joy bubbled up in Tang Ruyan’s heart, her face bloomed with a shy smile, and she bit her lip lightly, nodding coyly before excusing herself with embarrassment.
Only after Tang Ruyan’s figure had vanished from sight did the smile on Zhao Hongsheng’s face abruptly disappear.
Beside him, Yu Bin let out another harsh laugh, "Miss Tang is indeed a clever woman."
"Hmph, is that so?" Zhao Hongsheng picked up his cup and took a sip, only to find the tea had gone cold, and he unceremoniously placed it back on the table, "What a pity, she’s too foolish!"
Yu Bin scoffed. She was indeed foolish, to get involved with the Second Prince before even marrying, she was either too foolish or overly confident. But he believed the former.
The reputation of the First Scholar was not for nothing; the news that Ma Junying had hosted a banquet in Dong Tian for his fellow townsmen spread throughout the Capital city on the same day, and of course, along with it the fame of Dong Tian and its unique and exceptionally delicious cuisine and pastries. The number of people coming to Dong Tian to dine was growing day by day, unprecedented, and even many affluent families from outside the city were coming by reputation.
Initially, they just wanted to bask in the good fortune of the First Scholar, but after tasting Dong Tian’s cuisine, their thoughts immediately changed, and they made plans to return for another meal.
