Ren Chao silently cupped his hands and lowered his head in greeting. “h.e.l.lo, Eldest Young Master Qiao.”
Qiao Xiuli reached out and pulled Gu Nuo’er into his arms to protect her.
There was wariness hidden in his cold eyes.
“Since you’re indebted to her, why are you doing sneaky things on the streets?
Stealing a jade pendant isn’t something a gentleman should do.”
Ren Chao explained, “As it’s inconvenient for my ident.i.ty, I’m afraid that it’ll tarnish Her Highness’s reputation. That’s why I came up with this plan. I hope Young Master Qiao can forgive me.”
Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand. “It’s alright, Elder Brother Ren Chao. Hurry up and leave. Remember what I told you!”
Ren Chao nodded. “Yes.”
In the end, he cupped his hands and bade farewell to Qiao Xiuli.
With a leap, he stepped on the roof at the side and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After he left, Qiao Xiuli’s cold expression disappeared.
He sighed helplessly. “Nuo’er, the world is complicated. I know you’re kind, but if you save someone who bears a great feud, I’m afraid you’ll only be implicated.”
Gu Nuo’er hugged Qiao Xiuli’s arm.
She smiled like a playful kitten.
“Brother, don’t worry. Nuo’er can turn misfortune into good fortune. Don’t worry about this anymore. Let’s continue to go to my shop to take a look!”
Gu Nuo’er’s business had expanded.
The entire street was her Four Seasons Sweet Shop.
Therefore, she recruited many more employees.
When the child walked past a shop’s entrance with her hands behind her back, someone would say respectfully, “Little Boss!”
Right on the heels of that, greetings rang out one after another.
Gu Nuo’er narrowed her eyes and waved her small hand. “Alright, alright. Go get busy.”
Qiao Xiuli saw her adult-like appearance.
He was immediately caught between laughter and tears.
“If Grandfather saw this, he would definitely praise our Qiao Family for finally having a talented female who doesn’t only know how to swing weapons around.”
Gu Nuo’er pouted and complained softly, “But Brother, it’s so hard to check the accounts. In the beginning, I just wanted to open a small shop and didn’t have to worry about eating sweets myself. Who knew that…
The business grew big.
Qiao Xiuli chuckled. “The capable ones work more. This is also a talent.”
Gu Nuo’er pulled Qiao Xiuli to the main sweet shop which she had opened at the beginning.
This shop had long been expanded and was now three times as big as before.
It was now connected with the few other shops next to it.
Old Jiang was extremely busy inside.
The young masters and young misses surrounded him and called out, “Grandpa Jiang! Please bring me the lantern I placed last time!”
“Grandpa! Take mine first. I came first!”
Old Jiang was confused by all the calls.
Old Jiang had no choice but to call for Auntie Qu’s help loudly.
Ning Chudie was so busy behind the counter that she didn’t even have the chance to raise her head.
There was still a long queue of customers in front of her who were waiting to pay the bill.
Only when Nanny Hu came out did she see Gu Nuo’er.
She quickly smiled kindly and said, “Little Boss is here!”
Old Jiang, Ning Chudie, and the others looked over and shouted, “Boss!”
Gu Nuo’er smiled dryly and waved her small hand. “You guys can go do your own things. I just brought my brother here to take a look today.”
Some of the guests recognized Gu Nuo’er and immediately whispered to each other—
“This is Princess Yaoguang!”
“This is the first time I’ve been so close to Her Highness.”
“Which prince is it who is next to Her Highness’s side? He actually looks so gentle and elegant.”
Gu Nuo’er was already used to this kind of attention.
She wasn’t surprised and tugged at Qiao Xiuli. “Brother, let’s go to the kitchen to try the pastries.”
Nanny Hu quickly accompanied her to the backyard.
Now that Nanny Hu was old, Gu Nuo’er had long recruited seven to eight young apprentices to work under her..
