Chapter 1525 Since ancient times, deep feelings have been hurt by separation5
"Thank you, shopkeeper lady," Chen Jie said with a hand clasped fist, following Maid Yinzhu as she left.
Chang Haotian entered the courtyard and saw Su Qingyue sitting gracefully at the stone table in the center, a pang of tenderness rising in his face, "Qing’er..."
Su Qingyue lifted her eyes to glance at him, "Master Chang has arrived."
"Call me Haotian, or Hao is fine," he said instinctively, taking a seat opposite her, "calling me Estate Owner feels too distant."
She elegantly took hold of the teapot, pouring him a cup of tea, and he was pleasantly surprised, "You’re actually pouring tea for me?"
"You are a VIP in my Mansion, pouring you a cup of tea is a normal thing," she felt it was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Having known you for so long, this is the first time I am tasting tea personally poured by you," he said, holding the tea cup to his lips, just barely touching the cup without indulging in a sip, "The Xiao couple are really too much, actually forbidding customers from patronizing your store, such acts of cutting off one’s livelihood, they really have done too many! Don’t worry, Qing’er, I will absolutely not stand by and watch you be bullied."
"Oh? How does Master Chang plan to help me?"
"Whether customers patronize a certain store is purely voluntary, the intimidation by the Xiao Family is inappropriate and illogical to argue with them. Even if I were to issue a proclamation, encouraging common people to patronize your store, they would still fear the first-class families, and the effect would certainly be minimal." Chang Haotian said, "At this juncture, the only option is for me to return to the capital and join forces with the court to pressure the Xiao Family."
"I appreciate the sentiment, Master Chang," Su Qingyue said indifferently, "For just an ordinary merchant like me, why should you make such a big fuss?"
"You are my wife," he said intensely, his eyes filled with earnestness.
Su Qingyue stiffened, "Master Chang jests, I will not marry you."
