Chapter 352: Are You Willing to Be Played by Him?

"Well, isn't it? It's been over a year in the blink of an eye." The shopkeeper Hui Jie chuckled. "When Miss Huang called to place the order, I wasn't sure you'd really come. But here you are."

Qiao Rui nodded slightly. "Hui Jie, you look like you're doing quite well."

"All thanks to you, Miss Rui. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here today." Hui Jie still felt deeply grateful as she recalled the past. "If you hadn't helped me deal with those thugs, my little shop would've closed ages ago."

"It was Hui Jie's cooking that conquered my stomach." Qiao Rui smiled. "It's fate between us, too."

"Exactly, it's fate." Hui Jie quickly added, "Miss Rui, what do you feel like eating today? It's on me."

"No need to treat me, Hui Jie. I'm here to host a rather special guest today. I just need you to keep an eye out and make sure no one snaps any photos of him."

"Ah, alright." Hui Jie nodded quickly. "I'll take care of it."

"That settles it. I'll head to the private room first."
