Please Take Care of Me, Young Master Quan

Chapter 19: Asking the Handsome Boy in the Desserts Shop

Exiting the car at the central square, Shen Wan found her footing and made sure not to overlook showing her appreciation to Shen Qian.

Watching the car's tail lights fade into the distance, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. Then, she turned and entered the bank.

Converting a cash check wasn't overly complicated. In just a quarter of an hour, Shen Wan emerged from the bank with an extra one hundred thousand yuan in her canvas bag compared to when she went in.

Crimson bills, a total of ten stacks.

Having the money, she didn't rush to the mall for a shopping spree. Instead, she navigated her way to a dessert shop with ease.

The pink decorations in the shop's design took the themes of youth and sweetness to the utmost extreme.

Wind chimes adorned both sides of the entrance, producing a melodious and pleasant tinkling sound.

As Shen Wan pushed the door open and stepped inside, she found a seat, placing her bag by her side.

Before long, a woman in a white dress approached with a gentle smile. At first glance, she seemed to share Shen Wan's fashion sense.

However, a closer look revealed the differences.

Firstly, the woman wore a diamond necklace and a pair of Tiffany's latest season earrings, while Shen Wan remained plain.

Secondly, the woman had applied makeup, though it was subtle. Upon closer examination, the traces of makeup became apparent, whereas Shen Wan's face remained natural.

Lastly, their facial features differed.

The woman had captivating peach blossom eyes and a pointed chin. Despite the noticeable artificial fillers on her forehead, she could still be regarded as beautiful.

With an ample bosom and a shapely figure, her flashy attire was more fitting for her, but she insisted on an aura of innocence. Whether it was her white dress or light makeup, a contradictory sense pervaded her appearance.

"Miss, what would you like to order?"

The woman handed over the menu, and Shen Wan took it, lowering her head to peruse it.

Sunlight filtered through the tall windows, enveloping half of Shen Wan's profile in a golden hue. As she lowered her head, her slender swan-like neck formed a graceful curve, accentuated by the play of light.

The woman's gaze flickered slightly at this sight, revealing a fleeting hint of envy before quickly vanishing.

"One cup of cappuccino and a mango mille-feuille, please."

"Of course, please wait a moment."

Ten minutes later, the coffee and dessert arrived simultaneously.

"Enjoy your meal."

"Are you the owner here?" Shen Wan suddenly spoke up.

The woman paused briefly, then nodded.

"And was the handsome young man earlier an employee?"

"Earlier?" A hint of wariness flashed in the woman's eyes, and her brows lightly furrowed.

Pretending not to notice, Shen Wan picked up her spoon and stirred her coffee before calmly continuing, "Just the last time I was here. The one who greeted me was a handsome young man, around 1.8 meters tall."

"Oh, he doesn't work here anymore."

"So, he was your employee before?"

The woman didn't understand why the other party was so interested in whether he was an employee or not. However, that didn't stop her from disliking the young girl's nosy line of questioning.

A touch of impatience crossed her eyes, and she nodded curtly before turning and leaving.

Shen Wan curved her lips and took a sip of her coffee. The taste was ordinary, and she then picked up her fork to try the mango mille-feuille, finding it barely acceptable.

Meanwhile, Feng Shuangshuang, also known as the woman, stood behind the counter. She had a clear view of Shen Wan's every movement.

Seeing her take just one sip of coffee and two bites of the mille-feuille before burying herself in her phone, a sense of annoyance welled up within her. Her desserts had received nothing but praise from every customer who tried them. This girl was truly being difficult.

Yet, all she could do was grumble to herself. Confronting her directly would take a bit more courage than she had.

If she wasn't interested in eating, there was no obligation to do so. After all, she would still need to pay the full price.
