"Are you going into seclusion to heal your injuries?" My heart tightened, sensing that Yu Longting's injuries were not as simple as they seemed.

"Yes." Yu Longting gently gathered my hair from behind, "Don't miss me too much."

Once my hair was halfway dry, he took a dry towel and helped me dry it.

I touched my soft strands of hair, it hadn't been this smooth in a long time.

This kind of intimate care deeply touched my heart, making me feel that if Yu Longting always treated me this well,

I really could have a day where I am overwhelmed and completely fall for him.

Suddenly, I saw Yu Longting lower his brow, his lips curving in a wicked smile.

Feeling a hint of trouble, I hurriedly ran.

He caught the back of my shirt from behind, and I flailed desperately, "Let me go."

"No, Su Wan, I'm hungry." Yu Longting carried me back to the bedroom.

I glared at him harshly, "You say you're not dirty, but you are the king of filth!!"

"Su Wan, after this time, it will be a long while before I bother you again, let me truly have you once."

As passionate endearments spilled from his thin lips, he pressed my palm against his collar.

I took a deep breath and gently began to undo it.

The whorl of hair on my head was kissed by Yu Longting's cool lips as he asked in a deep voice, "Wanwan, will you miss me?"

What followed was a dizzying process, filled with romance.

When I woke up,

it was already this evening.

The fiery sunset streamed in from the outside window.

I washed my face with cold water in the bathroom, then went downstairs.

Chen Decheng and his wife along with Xiao Li were bustling about, they did not blame me for being late.

"Sorry for being late. I'll take care of the closing chores tonight," I said, seeing that Chen Shufen had done some of my tasks, expressing my apologies.

Chen Decheng dismissed it casually, "You always work so hard, and your boyfriend made a trip here; spending some time with him is fine, no one will blame you."

"Your boyfriend is really considerate, he even asked for leave on your behalf before he left, told us not to go up and disturb your rest," Chen Shufen revealed a knowing smile.

I turned red and nearly sought a crack in the floor to disappear into, quickly shifting my gaze away.

I started to clean up a table that had just been vacated by a customer with Xiao Li.

Xiao Li made a face at me, "Your boyfriend has good stamina?"

"What are you talking about?" I was left speechless by her question.

It seems I can avoid the boss's wife, but not Xiao Li.

Why is Xiao Li also 'driving wildly' here??

Xiao Li blinked, her eyes twinkling mischievously, "You slept so long, dare you say you weren't drained dry?"

"Hey, it looks like our restaurant is increasingly busy, a lot of parents bringing their kids to eat," I noticed, changing the topic as I moved on to clear another table.

Xiao Li followed and tidied up the dishes, "Apparently, the road here connects to a shortcut that leads to the nearby school, and it just got cleared this afternoon."

"Does that road also connect to the snack street?" I asked.

Xiao Li answered, "Indeed, the boss's business will surely boom."

"I guess it might be the work of your boyfriend's talisman," Chen Decheng interjected as he passed us with a tray of beers for a table.

I glanced at the talisman stuck at the wealth corner, "Just a coincidence, right? That road has been under construction for half a month, what does it have to do with that guy?"

"Even if it's just a coincidence, it's good to seek some luck," Chen Decheng concluded before bustling off.

Chen Shufen smiled warmly, "Yuanyuan, you are our restaurant's lucky charm; ever since you came, my husband has been turning bad luck into good, and now our business is booming."

Xiao Li nodded, "I agree with the boss's wife, I even feel like my luck has improved a lot, Yuanyuan must have the fate of bringing prosperity."

Their nonsensical ramblings amused me.

Although I knew they were joking, the conversation warmed my heart.

Just then, five drunken men staggered in.

One of them, slinging a snakeskin bag and reeking of alcohol, said to Xiao Li in Cantonese, "Are you the waitress here? I've got something great, can you get your kitchen to cook it?"
