Chapter 113 Passing by
"I don't know either, but this shop is newly opened and so unique, I think Mo Yan will come!"
As he was speaking, a carriage drove towards them, and its appearance was the same as the carriage that Xin Moyan had ridden when she came to the art gallery that day.
"Yan Yan, be careful." Hua Buyu was the first to jump out of the car, and then quickly took Xin Moyan's hand, telling her to be careful when she got down.
"Young master, it's Miss Mo Yan!"
He Yi's expression was also particularly excited. Since their parting at the art gallery, the young master had often mentioned Miss Mo Yan. A few days ago, after receiving that peculiar order, he came to join in the fun. It turned out that it was a shop opened by Miss Mo Yan. If it weren't for the fact that the young master was recently asked by the Imperial Censor to create a longevity painting for him, he would have been delayed until today to come.
Hua Buyu spotted the two of them, patted Xin Moyan on the shoulder, and said happily, "Yanyan, look, Young Master Fuchen is here."
Xin Moyan looked up and saw the two people standing at the door with smiles on their faces. She was pleasantly surprised and quickly stepped forward.
"Fu Chen, what brings you here today?"
Seeing her run gracefully towards him, with bright eyes and white teeth, a face like a peach blossom, and a smile as radiant as the stars, Liu Fuchen's eyes gradually merged with the beautiful image that had been in his mind for many days. A gentle light, as warm as jade, immediately shone in his eyes.
"Mo Yan, I learned a few days ago that you opened a shop. I've been a little busy these past few days, so I came to visit you today."
"Then why don't we go in? Young Master Fuchen, have you been waiting for us at the door for a long time?" Hua Buyu said with a playful smile, secretly thinking to herself that this Young Master Fuchen was indeed good-looking, and his gentle and refined temperament was a real plus.
"Hehe~ Miss Hua, you can just call me Fuchen."
"Alright! Fu Chen, then you can call me 'Silent' too!"
"Yes, no." Liu Fuchen nodded politely to Hua Buyu.
"Fu Chen, this shop opened in a hurry, and I've been quite busy these days. I forgot to visit you at the art gallery, so please don't be mad at me!"
Xin Moyan said somewhat embarrassedly that she had only made two friends here, Buyu and Fuchen, but after finishing the painting, she hadn't contacted Fuchen for so many days, which was indeed a bit heartless.
"Hehe~ Mo Yan, please don't say that. I've been a bit busy lately. Since it's your grand opening, I should express my gratitude. Now that these days have passed, if Mo Yan doesn't mind, I'll have someone deliver a gift to your door later."
She waved her hand and chuckled, "Fu Chen, please don't be so polite. This shop has been open for several days now. I originally invited you to come and watch the opening ceremony, but it was my oversight. Please don't see me off, or I'll feel even more apologetic."
"Hey! Don't just stand at the door talking like that. If you ask me, Fu Chen doesn't need to bring a gift. If you're so kind, just come in and have a couple of cups of milk tea." Hua Buyu was confused by their conversation. She hooked her arm around Xin Moyan's and said with a grin.
"Yes! Fuchen, come in and try the milk tea."
"it is good!"
Liu Fuchen did not refuse, and the group was about to walk in together when they suddenly heard the sound of a carriage speeding behind them. They turned around and saw a white carriage coming towards them, with a golden bell hanging at each of the four corners of the carriage, jingling as the carriage swayed.
"Buyu, why is this car parked in front of our store?"
"Uh... I don't know either. Let's see who it is." Hua Buyu's lips twitched slightly. Could it be that plague god?
At this moment, Liu Qing suddenly appeared out of nowhere, walked to the car, lifted the curtain, and the man inside got out of the car with elegance and composure.
Yuan Huaixuan, dressed in a snow-white brocade robe and wearing a silver crown with two phoenixes holding pearls, still possessed an unparalleled beauty that made people tremble. His eyes were distant and aloof, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he exuded a noble and extraordinary aristocratic aura. At this moment, he was staring at Xin Moyan's face as he slowly walked over.
Xin Moyan suddenly remembered that she had disturbed him at Junjing Pavilion that day, and that he had taken the bracelet. She hurriedly lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him, and greeted him in a low voice: "Xuan... Prince Xuan".
"Hmm." Yuan Huaixuan responded coldly from the bottom of his throat, simply lowering his head and looking at Xin Moyan expressionlessly.
"Oh! This humble servant greets Your Highness, the Prince Xuan. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly. May I ask what brings Your Highness here today?" Hua Buyu curtsied to him, speaking very politely, but she rudely looked him up and sized him up. As expected, he didn't even glance at her.
Upon hearing that it was the Xuan King, Liu Fuchen and his servant immediately bowed and paid their respects.
"This humble subject pays respects to Your Highness, Prince Xuan!"
His gaze finally shifted from Xin Moyan's face, and he glanced at Liu Fuchen. When he saw Liu Fuchen's handsome and refined appearance, his previously indifferent eyes became even colder.
Liu Fuchen was bewildered by his gaze. It was the first time she had met this prince, so why did he seem somewhat dissatisfied with her?
Seeing that he did not answer Hua Buyu's question, Xin Moyan continued, "Does Your Highness have something important to discuss today?"
"Passing by."
He uttered the same two cold and ruthless words, his gaze meeting Xin Moyan's eyes with piercing intensity.
Feeling increasingly nervous under their gaze, Xin Moyan secretly swallowed. However, she felt it wasn't appropriate for a large group of people to be blocking the entrance, so she tentatively asked, "Your Highness, it's quite a coincidence that you happened to be passing by my milk tea shop today and happened to be here. Why don't you come in and try my milk tea?"
Xin Moyan thought to herself: With your icy face and unapproachable demeanor, if you go in, won't all my customers be scared away? However, she was also certain that Yuan Huaixuan would not go in, because Cailian had said that the Prince of Xuan disliked crowds and rarely even attended royal banquets, let alone ordinary shops run by common people.
"Can!"
"Ah...ah?" This action was unexpected. Xin Moyan awkwardly pursed her lips, her eyes slightly uneasy.
Yuan Huaixuan seemed to see through her thoughts and said calmly, "You are only making a verbal invitation; you have no sincerity whatsoever."
"No, no, no! How could that be? Come, Your Highness, please!"
Xin Moyan immediately put on a smile, bent over, made a welcoming gesture, and even winked at Hua Buyu.
She understood immediately, quickly walked to the opposite side of Xin Moyan, made the same gesture, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please take a seat!"
Yuan Huaixuan didn't say anything then, and walked inside.
"Mo Yan, this..." Liu Fuchen seemed a little confused. He had rarely heard of this prince, and he never expected him to be so refined, handsome and otherworldly.
As Yuan Huaixuan entered the shop, Hua Buyu hurriedly tugged at Liu Fuchen's sleeve and winked at him, signaling him to go in without worry.
Xin Moyan led Yuan Huaixuan to the dining table that could seat six people. There was a specially made upholstered rosewood bench there. She said politely, "Your Highness, please sit down. I will have someone make milk tea right away."
Her wide robes swayed gently, and even her posture when sitting down was extremely noble and elegant.
"You...aren't you going to sit?"
