The Little Childhood Friend in a Female-Dominated World (ChatGPT Translated)

14. Li's trouble

Jiruan no longer comes to "Sweet Hundred Flavors," and Lishi refuses to discuss this matter again. The faint affection between the two seems to be completely buried in the depths of their hearts by the thick winter snow.

On the day before Laba Festival, Lishi brought out freshly made pastries from the kitchen and invited the people who usually choose pastries in the shop to taste them for free. He also informed these regular customers that they would be celebrating the festival at home and would not open the shop tomorrow.

Everyone ate the pastries together in a lively manner, and Lishi politely sent everyone away before preparing to close the shop.

Jia Shanren from Dong Street is involved in the private salt business. Usually, he needs the convenience of the higher-ups to continue this business. During the holidays, it is necessary to give gifts.

This year's profits were good, and as the New Year approached, Lishi had just returned from outside for a few days and personally brought generous gifts to visit a certain noble family on West Street.

The nobleman invited her to have lunch at his mansion, and the two enjoyed a pleasant conversation over drinks. They drank a bit too much, and the nobleman asked her to rest in the mansion for a while before taking the sedan chair back.

Still feeling the effects of the alcohol, Jia Shanren sat in the swaying sedan chair and felt uncomfortable. He reached out and lifted a corner of the sedan curtain to let in some fresh air.

As the sedan chair traveled along West Street and reached the intersection, Jia Shanren casually glanced outside and saw a man standing at the door of a shop, seeing someone off.

The man was slender and good-looking, and just from the side view, Jia Shanren felt his mouth dry. Not to mention when he saw the man's face, his seven souls and six spirits were captivated by the seductive peach blossom eyes.

Jia Shanren stared at the man, forgetting to tell the sedan bearers to stop. It was only when the man turned and disappeared into the shop that he snapped back to reality and hurriedly asked them to stop the sedan chair.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop the sedan chair quickly!" Before the sedan chair came to a complete stop, Jia Shanren hastily lifted the curtain and jumped down.

He bypassed the sedan chair and walked quickly for a while before stopping and standing near the shop, looking inside.

The man inside was busy moving around, and Jia Shanren's eyes followed his every move without blinking. Just by looking at his figure, she felt desire.

Compared to the man inside, the several attendants newly brought into her house seemed like insignificant grass growing next to a tall and slender bamboo, appearing much shorter and unworthy of attention.

The servant who was originally standing next to the sedan chair saw his master unable to move his feet or take his eyes off the man. His eyes rolled cleverly, and he walked over and asked in a low voice, "Master, should I go find out who this man is?"

Jia Shanren didn't even turn his head and hurriedly said, "Go, go, go, quickly find out."

"It's cold outside, let's go back to the mansion first." The servant advised in a low voice, "As long as we find out later, there is still a long time ahead. You don't need to rush into it now."

Although this man lives at the end of West Street, he only appears to be an ordinary shop owner. With Jia Shanren's wealth, there is no man she cannot have. It's just a matter of how much money is involved.

Even if he doesn't want to, forcefully carrying someone into the door without saying a word, first take the person, even if it means settling the lawsuit with money.
