Chapter 162 - Being Kissed

After a moment of hesitation, she finally nodded her agreement, biting her lip.

“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave.

Couldn’t I just fulfill my promise, and that would settle it?” the proprietress said, clinging to Chen Yang’s arm.

He thought to himself, “I didn’t expect this proprietress to be so flirty…

Just now it was a no-go, and now she’s pulling this stunt…”

Of course, Chen Yang could never voice such thoughts aloud.

So he remained silent for a moment.

But as Chen Yang stayed silent, the proprietress quickly followed up.

“However, I really can’t right now; I’m somewhat indisposed lately.

Besides, this is only the first day you’ve supplied me; how do I know you can provide a steady supply?

What do you think?” the proprietress said, batting her eyes and assuming a demure stance.

Chen Yang was staring so hard his eyes almost popped out.

Hearing the proprietress’ words, Chen Yang was silent for a moment.

After contemplating, he felt that what she said made sense.

So he nodded, “Alright, let’s not talk about that for the time being.

Once I’ve proven that I can supply you with wild mushrooms over the long haul, it won’t be too late to fulfill the promise.”

Seeing Chen Yang agree, the proprietress’ face immediately lit up with excitement.

In her extreme excitement, she even couldn’t help but tiptoe and peck Chen Yang on the face!

“Mwah!

I really love you to death,” she said.

Chen Yang was dumbstruck when the proprietress kissed him, as it was his first time being kissed by someone on the initiative…

But he was only stunned for a little while and quickly snapped out of it.

Once he regained his composure, Chen Yang was promptly taken by the proprietress to the front desk.

It was time to calculate the price of the wild mushrooms.

Chen Yang had agreed to deliver wild mushrooms to the proprietress, certainly not for free.

Although the promise couldn’t be fulfilled today, they still needed to settle the account for the wild mushrooms.

At the front desk, the proprietress punched a few keys on the calculator, then looked up at Chen Yang with a smile and said, “That’s twenty-one pounds in total.

I’ll give you seven hundred and fifty per pound, which comes to over fifteen thousand yuan.”

“Fine, just transfer it to me,” he said.

Chen Yang felt that the amount sounded about right, so he didn’t say much else.

He took out his phone, displayed the QR code, and then had the proprietress scan it.

After paying the bill, the proprietress accompanied Chen Yang out of the restaurant.

“Don’t be unhappy.

I really am indisposed lately.

Once you’ve supplied me for a while, I’ll definitely fulfill my promise,” she said.

Outside the restaurant, the proprietress saw Chen Yang looking somewhat downhearted and thought he was still upset about the earlier incident.

Chen Yang looked left and right, and seeing no one around, he suddenly gave the proprietress a swift pat on the high spot, then grinned, “I got it, I’ll wait for the day you fulfill your promise.”

Having said that, Chen Yang turned, mounted his electric tricycle, and left.

The proprietress was left standing on the side of the road, her face flushed red.

The proprietress stood in a daze for quite a while, not coming back to her senses until Chen Yang had disappeared from her sight.

“This kid…

he’s got quite the nerve, broad daylight and all…

But luckily, there wasn’t anyone around,” murmured the proprietress, still blushing as she touched her cheek and then turned back into the restaurant after ensuring her face was no longer red.

Just as she stepped into the restaurant, a very old van suddenly pulled up at the door of the River Fish Restaurant.

Hearing the vehicle, the proprietress instinctively turned her head.

Seeing the old van, her expression instantly soured.

Under her gaze, a bare-chested old man with a smug grin leaped out of the van.

This person was the same old man that Chen Yang had encountered a few days earlier, threatening the proprietress.

After jumping out of the van, the old man walked up to the proprietress with a sneer and teased, “Yo…

were you waiting to greet me at the door?”

The proprietress had never liked this old man, and the only reason she had spoken to him nicely was because she needed his supply of wild mushrooms.

Now that she had her supply, the proprietress made no attempt to hide her disgust.

“Who was waiting for you?

You really have some nerve.”

The lady boss shot him a glance, then turned and walked away.

The old man was suddenly chastised and was stunned on the spot.

Then he immediately followed her inside.

All the way to the backyard.

“Yang Caiyun!

What do you mean by this?

I told you to think it over for three days, and now the time is up.

Give me an answer,” the old man’s face turned ugly after being scolded by Yang Caiyun, no longer showing his previously smiling demeanor.

Upon hearing the voice behind her, Yang Caiyun turned around and sneered coldly, “I’ve made up my mind.

From now on, I don’t need your wild mushrooms anymore.

You can go to someone else’s place.”

Yang Caiyun’s sudden statement caught the old man off guard.

He had never anticipated such a situation when he came over today.

The old man’s face changed, filled with shifting expressions, and after a long silence, he finally spoke through clenched teeth, “Yang Caiyun, what’s the point of this?

Your River Fish Restaurant is still doing well!”

“Moreover, it doesn’t work without my wild mushrooms.

I’ll give you one more chance to think about it.”

“Otherwise, once I walk out this door today, even if you kneel on the ground and beg to sleep with me, I won’t agree anymore.”

The old man’s tone was full of threats.

But Yang Caiyun was not the least bit moved; instead, the cold smile on her face grew even stronger.

“No need to think about it anymore.

I’ve made up my mind.

Let’s not work together in the future,” Yang Caiyun stated decisively.

“Fine!

You said it.

Don’t come begging to me when you can’t keep the restaurant open.” The old man left the restaurant in a huff.

Watching the old man stomp away, Yang Caiyun’s heart blossomed with joy.

She had been displeased with this old man for a long time, and today, at last, she got to release some pent-up anger.

After leaving the restaurant in a rage, the old man didn’t leave immediately.

Instead, he drove his battered van to other places to sell his wild mushrooms.

Since the demand for wild mushrooms was still quite large, it didn’t take him long to sell what he had.

However, the price wasn’t very high.

Only seven hundred yuan per half-kilogram, which was a whole fifty yuan less per half-kilogram than what Yang Caiyun’s River Fish Restaurant had paid!

“Hmph!

It’s already noon, I want to see how your Yang Caiyun’s restaurant can keep running.” After selling the wild mushrooms, the old man was still not over it.

He drove his van intending to see Yang Caiyun’s restaurant fail.

Because he believed, without his wild mushrooms, Yang Caiyun’s restaurant surely wouldn’t make it.

Seething, the old man drove back to the River Fish Restaurant.

When he got out of the van, he was dumbfounded.

Because what was happening was nothing like what he had imagined.

In his mind, without wild mushrooms, the restaurant’s business surely couldn’t be that good.

But to his surprise, the River Fish Restaurant was as busy as ever.

Looking at the situation before him, the old man couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“This is strange, why are there so many people?”

The old man scratched his head, unable to fathom the situation.

Ultimately, driven by intense curiosity, he stepped back into the River Fish Restaurant.

The old man had been supplying wild mushrooms to the restaurant for some time, and naturally, he was familiar with the staff inside.

After entering the restaurant, he immediately found a server named Xiao Wang.

He stealthily pulled Xiao Wang into a corner and asked in a low voice, “Xiao Wang, why are there so many people in the restaurant today?”

Xiao Wang was baffled by his question.

“Isn’t it always this crowded in our restaurant?

Boss Liu.”

The old man’s face turned a shade of green, knowing that Xiao Wang didn’t grasp what he meant.
