Chapter Twelve: The Beautiful Widow

  "It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, everyone has their own different interests." Hehe smiled at Beibei.

  Shangguan Nengren chuckled and said: "Yes!"

  "Hehehe……" Beibei's eyes narrowed into a slit, her arms raised high, and she stretched with a lazy yawn. She then fell back, turned sideways, bent her legs, and rested her head on her arm. Her bright eyes gazed at Shangguan A'ni, a smile playing on the corners of her mouth: "The bed may be small, but it's very comfortable. It's not about the height of the mountain or the depth of the water; this humble abode is cozy because of my virtue."

  "Hmm, didn't you miss two sentences in the middle?" Shang Guan Nengren's breathing quickened as he was stimulated by Xiang Beibei's seductive and lazy posture, his whole body burning with heat. Fortunately, Dan Dan started singing a melancholic tune just in time, which almost instantly cooled him down, and he casually replied.

  All the officials were about to cry, will you not be filial in the future?

  "Ha ha, great, your literary comprehension needs to be strengthened!"

  "Huh, what does it mean?" Shang Guan Nian said absent-mindedly while entangled in the question of whether to hold or not to hold the future.

  She winked at Beibei and sat up with a smile, saying, "Nothing, just finished copying the homework?"

  "What? Oh, I've finished copying." Officer Nangeng didn't know why he suddenly asked Beibei such a question, but still took out Beibei's school bag from under the desk.

  To Beibei, it was very kind of you to lend your homework to Shangguan Nengren last time, and even lent him your school bag temporarily. This school bag is obviously a high-end product, although Shangguan Nengren doesn't understand, he also knows that the money spent on this school bag is enough to buy dozens of ordinary school bags for himself.

  "This time I really thank you, otherwise I would have been dead." Xiang BeiBei handed the school bag to Shang Guan NengRen, expressing his gratitude.

  Handed over to Beibei, stood up with a smile and said: "You're welcome, I'm leaving."

  "What? You're leaving just like that?! Sit for a while longer!" Upper Official Nengren was shocked.

  "No, I have something else this afternoon," said to Beibei with a smile.

  "Oh, then I'll see you off." Since he had something to attend to, Upper Official was unable to stay any longer. He casually grabbed a set of keys from the table and saw Wei Bei out the door.

  Xiang Beibei didn't refuse, smiling and letting Shang Guan Neng take her downstairs. It was only then that Shang Guan Neng saw that Xiang Beibei had ridden a bicycle over.

  Pink, small wheels, with variable-speed gears, stylish appearance, looks like a good car.

  Shangguan Nengren was speechless, the gap between him and Xiang Beibei was simply too big, his school bag was tens of times worse, even his bicycle was probably tens of times worse, his studies were tens of times worse, and his family background was thousands of times worse.

  At this moment, the official felt that fate was too wonderful. He, a small sparrow, actually had an intersection with the white swan, just like the plot of a third-rate novel. Could it be that he would have the opportunity to live a life without shame or embarrassment with Bai Beibei, this rich beauty, in the future? This plot is too ridiculous!

  As he walked away from BeiBei, not a word was said, and the silence made ShangGuan Nian even more bewildered, unable to understand what was going on with BeiBei. When they first met, everything seemed fine, and their conversation had been filled with laughter. So why did it suddenly turn cold at the end? Upon careful reflection, it seemed similar to the last time at the beauty salon - the process and outcome were almost identical, except this time BeiBei didn't kick him again.

  What was the problem after all? Officer Wang had been thinking about this issue while climbing the stairs, and when he reached the sixth floor and stretched his hand into his pants pocket to take out the key to open the door, Officer Wang's face suddenly changed.

  "Where's the key?" Officer Nang's face was covered in sweat, and he had turned every pocket inside out: "My key? Ahhh! No way! I'm doomed!"

  On the other hand, Xiang Bei was riding a bicycle, wandering on the streets in the afternoon. The tree shadows by the road covered her face as she passed by, and at the intersection, Xiang Bei stopped at the red light. She reached into her pocket with her right hand and pulled out an anti-theft door key.

  The green light turned on, and Beibei followed the traffic flow to the left, passing by a trash can, throwing the key into it. Then, with a happy mood, she hummed a little tune, smiling and weaving through pedestrians and vehicles, gradually disappearing from view.

  ……

  Shangguan Nengren, who didn't know that his key had been taken by Beibei, thought he had forgotten to take the key when he went out and completely forgot about the scene where he casually picked up the key earlier. It's also strange that their anti-theft door only needs to be twisted from the inside to temporarily fix it, and when going out, just push it inwards and it will automatically lock, no need for a key at all.

  It was only two thirty, parents' work hours are until six o'clock, the bicycle is locked in the garage downstairs, no key can't push it out, there's only 50 cents left from a few days ago on me, not even enough for bus fare.

  Going to the neighbor's house for a visit in the afternoon? It's not that it can't be done, but at this time, most of the adults in the neighbor's family have gone to work, leaving only children on vacation and the elderly at home. With these old people and children, there is no common language.

  “……”

  Turn on the all-around ten items, three positions are still blank, and other seven positions also have blank sub-items. Today is August 12th, there are 18 days left before leaving school.

  After a moment of contemplation, Shangguan Neng stepped down from the stairs and rushed to the nearby cake shop in the residential area.

  People's lives are getting better and their demand for desserts is increasing, and cake shops are emerging like mushrooms after a spring rain. Within 100 meters of the residential area, there is a small cake shop that not only has homemade cakes but also various sweet treats such as cookies, bread, and biscuits. Xiaoguan, the food god, had only absorbed one item of culinary skills, leaving out desserts and winemaking.

  To absorb desserts, a cake shop is the most suitable place, because they often recruit some apprentices, and the level of these apprentices must not be high, F-level can also be absorbed, as for brewing, you can only go to the winery to try your luck.

  The cake shop is only fifty square meters in size, with a green sign above the entrance, inscribed with the five white隶book characters "Yu Yuan Cake Shop", against a background of exquisite pastries. In front of the steps stands an electric pole, and under the pole is fixed an advertising light box, which is naturally used at night.

  Shangguan Nengren stepped up the stairs and entered a cake shop. Inside, there were four rows of shelves standing upright. Three rows were placed on the left side, one row was placed against the wall on the right side, and in the empty space to the right of the shelves stood a long table with various packaged sweets that could be bought at supermarkets, as well as freshly baked delicious bread.

  "Oh! The little expert has arrived!" As soon as he entered, the beautiful young woman behind the counter at the entrance smiled.

  This beautiful young woman looked less than thirty years old, with long hair tied back on her head, a goose egg face, delicate features, and a very friendly smile. She wore a white tank top inside, with a white casual suit outside, and the collar of her shirt had a yellow cartoon cake logo from the bakery. Her lower body was a light gray tight-fitting long pants that perfectly accentuated her plump buttocks and slender legs. At first glance, the woman's charm and beauty were fully revealed on her body.

  This woman is called Xin Yu Yuan, she is the boss of Yu Yuan Cake Shop. She is only 28 years old this year. Three years ago, she and her husband opened this cake shop together. However, last year, Xin Yu Yuan's husband died in a car accident on the street, causing their originally happy family to fall apart. Fortunately, her husband had bought accidental insurance, and the compensation of 8 million yuan allowed Xin Yu Yuan to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

  After Xinyu Yuan became a widow, many people introduced her to men, including young and talented ones. If Xinyu Yuan were alone, she might have agreed, but she also had a six-year-old daughter. Afraid that her daughter would suffer, Xinyu Yuan never remarried and silently guarded the cake shop she opened with her late husband, taking good care of her daughter for a year.

  Because she had enough compensation to be worry-free for the rest of her life, despite the cake shop's good business, Xin Yuanyuan didn't plan to open a branch. She put a small amount of energy into the cake shop, most of it on her daughter, and some of it on avoiding her parents.

  Just like a topic after dinner, Xin Yuanyuan is still young after all. Not only her parents but also her in-laws do not want Xin Yuanyuan to remain single forever. From time to time, they will find an object for Xin Yuanyuan. In the past year, Xin Yuanyuan was annoyed, but this was the kindness of her parents and in-laws after all. She didn't dare say much and could only try to avoid it.

  Shangguan Nengren's family has been living in this area for four years, and they have been frequenting this place since the day Xinyu Yuan opened her cake shop. Later on, because of the delicious pastries and affordable prices, Shangguan Nengren's family would often come to buy some, especially Shangguan Nengren himself. Although he is thin as a rake, he has a sweet tooth and almost every week he would come here once or twice. Gradually, they also became familiar with Xinyu Yuan and her husband.

  Last year, after that car accident, Officer Wang was also heartbroken for several days. Later, seeing Xin Yuanyuan single-handedly supporting her family, he felt that she was not easy to get along with, and it could be said that out of sympathy, the number of times he came here increased a lot compared to before. Not just to buy cakes, but to chat with Xin Yuanyuan for a while, and also to tease her daughter, hoping that Xin Yuanyuan's mood would improve.

  As time passed, the relationship between Xin Yuanyuan and Shang Guan Nengren also became increasingly close, with a kind of brotherly affection in it. Usually when Shang Guan Nengren came, no matter whether he bought anything or not, Xin Yuanyuan would always let him take some new pastries back to try.

  "Rain sister, haven't seen you for several days, how have these few days been?" Shang Guan Nengren smiled and leaned in front of the counter, saw a new product on the counter, without any politeness, picked it up and took a bite.

  Xin Yu snapped his fingers and tapped the forehead of Shang Guan Neng, smiling: "What's up! How come you haven't come over these past few days? One Meng was still nagging me about it this morning!"

  Yi Miao is Xin Yu Yuan's daughter, her full name is Zhao Yi Miao, a very cute little loli, after this summer vacation, she will be in first grade.

  "Found C-grade dessert, host's ability is insufficient, unable to absorb."

  Awesome!

  "No way, the summer homework has been piling up for over a month now, and I've been cooped up at home these days!" Shang Guan Neng Ren munched on his cake, not expecting to absorb Xin Yu Yuan's sweet-making abilities, chuckled and asked: "Where's Xiao Meng?"

  "She was taken away by her grandmother early in the morning, and the old man hadn't seen the child for many days. Thinking about it!" Xin Yuanyuan smiled slightly and said: "You're coming out now, is your homework done?"

  "Ah, I've finished writing, now let's hurry over and take a look at Yuanyuan Jie! Yuanyuan Jie, I was thinking of you to death!" Shangguan Nengren said with a smile.
