Chapter 125: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (23)
“I don’t know the way,” Shu Nuan explained awkwardly .
The shop-owner’s wife was still in a good mood . Humming a little song, she finished packing the snacked and held them out to her .
“It’s okay . Just ask someone on the road . The Su Family is well-known . ”
“Alright . ”
Shu Nuan took off her afron and washed her hands . When she came out, the shop-owner’s wife looked at her and said, “Little girl, you’re in a bad mood . Did you fail the exam?”
“No,” Shu Nuan mumbled, a little helpless .
“Ah . You make me worry . Well, there’s still one cake left . Here you go . ”
Shu Nuan was hungry, and so she took it .
“Thank you, madam . ”
“Go ahead, go ahead . Take care . ”
The shop-owner’s wife drove her out while still humming as she made snacks .
What she didn’t expect was that the one who wanted to eat the sweet potato yam cake would be the child she’d talked to in a street a while back .
Little Su Su also recognized her as the beautiful sister who had invited him to eat snacks that day . He asked her in a daze, “Sister, are you the newly hired master of the pastry workshop in the Li Shop?”
“Just a little apprentice,” Shu Nuan responded truthfully .
“Su su . ”
A deep voice called the child from behind her . Little Su Su looked over her shoulder and ran to embrace Su Huang’s leg .
“Father . This is the little sister who invited Su Su to eat snacks last time . Su Su promised sister to take her to eat . Please, father, ask her to stay, okay?”
Su Huang looked toward the woman whose back seemed a little familiar . When she turned around, he saw her clearly and raised his eyebrows .
“It’s you . ”
Shu Nuan hadn’t expected that the child’s father was the person who’d appeared in the Moon Pavilion with Sheng Qianmo that day . There was such a coincidence possible .
Shu Nuan was quiet for a moment before she said, “The shop is still very busy . I’ll go first . ”
“You no longer work at the Moon Pavilion?” Su Huang asked her with a feigned smile as he took his son’s hand into his own .
Shu Nuan noticed the clear ridicule in his eyes . While pretending to be sympathetic, it seemed to say that she was bearing the consequences of her own actions .
“No . ”
After saying that, Shu Nuan prepared to leave .
But Little Su Su pulled her sleeve, still persevering .
“Sister, stay and eat with Little Su Su…”
Shu Nuan gently removed the child’s hand and tried to speak in a low voice .
“Sister is busy now . Let’s do it later . ”
Little Su Su wanted to say something, but Su Huang grasped his hand .
“Su Su . Behave . ”
Although Little Su Su acted spoiled in front of other adults, even being sweet and unctuous with his father, but he was scared of his father when he got serious . One time he’d been thrown into the woodshed by his father without being allowed to come out, left alone to cry all night . So when his father told him to behave, Little Su Su became a little afraid . He bowed his head and let Shu Nuan go .
Su Huang frowned and asked his son, “Why was she with you?”
“She…”
Little Su Su almost wanted to say that she looked so gentle, like a mother, even though he had never seen his mother .
But he stopped talking .
His father didn’t like it when he mentioned his mother .
His father would be angry .
In the end, Little Su Su only muttered, “I promised pretty sister that I’ll take her to eat…”
Su Huang was silent for a while . Then he said in a faint voice, “Next time, when she is not busy . ”
Hearing this, Little Su Su’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Okay!”
