Chapter 821: Miss, be reserved! Be reserved!
"If this is the only sincerity you show in your self-reflection, I really can't explain it to the other store managers..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yoshida bit her lower lip lightly, and her originally bright eyes suddenly showed a layer of watery light, full of pitiful expression: "Nan Jun... please..."
"Beg me?" Hanyu Nan raised an eyebrow, "What do you want to ask for?"
The atmosphere in the office became increasingly ambiguous.
Mrs. Yoshida blushed, and with a bit of shyness, she gently placed her pink hands on Hanyu Kusunoki's chest, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I... I can make it up..."
"How do you compensate?" Hanyu Kusunoki asked with a wicked smile.
The young woman leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Sir, you can make up for it in any way you want..."
As she spoke, she reached out and rolled up her long hair.
Hanyu Kusunoki sat down on the boss chair with a smile, his eyes a little fiery, watching the actions of the young woman in front of him, with her legs wide open, as if waiting for something.
Just as the store manager was about to impose the next punishment on the clerk, there was a sudden knock on the office door -
"Mom! I've finished my homework!"
Ayumi's crisp voice came from outside the door.
The two of them froze at the same time.
Mrs. Yoshida hurriedly tidied up her messy clothes, while Hanyu Kusunoki looked at the desk with regret. Unfortunately, the space underneath was too small to hide a petite beautiful woman.
It is indeed a bit regrettable.
I have to ask Yuanzi to replace the desk later.
What’s the point of having a desk that can’t even accommodate a person?
"Brother Nan!" The office door was opened, and Ayumi rushed in and hugged Hanyu Nan's legs, "I did everything right!"
Hanyu Kusunoki bent down and picked her up: "That's amazing!"
He glanced at Mrs. Yoshida, who was trying to calm herself down and catch her breath, and raised a barely perceptible smirk. He deliberately stretched out his tone and said, "Sister Qiu Mei, regarding the account... we will discuss it in depth later."
Mrs. Yoshida blushed, but her eyes revealed a hint of expectation. She nodded gently: "Okay, okay..."
Ayumi looked around curiously: "What accounts?"
"It's an adult matter~" Hanyu Nan stretched out her finger and pinched her little nose, "Come on, Brother Nan will take you to eat ice cream."
"Yeah!" Ayumi cheered, "Mom is coming too!"
Mrs. Yoshida gently reached out her hand and smoothed her daughter's messy hair, her eyes full of maternal love, "Mom still has to work, you and Brother Nan go."
Then, she turned to Hanyu Kusunoki, her eyes full of tenderness: "By the way, thank you for the guidance... of the store manager."
Hanyu Kusunoki blinked and said, "Madam, you are always welcome to come and ask for advice."
Ayumi looked left and right, and always felt that there was some secret between her mother and Brother Nan, but the child's curiosity was quickly diluted by the temptation of ice cream.
After watching the two of them leave hand in hand, Mrs. Yoshida slowly leaned back on her desk and let out a long sigh.
She touched her hot cheeks and couldn't help but chuckle.
This little man... is really good at playing...
She almost lost her composure in front of her daughter. If that happened, her dignity as a mother would be completely gone...
..........
In the ice cream shop, Ayumi happily licked the strawberry-flavored cone, the white cream leaving a playful mark at the corner of her mouth, and suddenly asked: "Brother Nan, will you really marry me?"
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled and said, "Well... let's talk about this when you grow up."
This is a real loli, the kind that starts at three years and has no upper limit.
"How long will that take?" Ayumi tilted her head. "Can next year be okay?"
"I'm afraid not..." Hanyu Kusunoki held back a laugh, "At least I have to wait until you're as tall as mom."
Ayumi frowned: "Ah... that will take a long time..."
But just a second later, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Then... Brother Nan can marry Mom first! And then marry me when I grow up, so that we will always be a family!"
Hanyu Kusunoki: “…”
This kid...is such a clever little fellow.
Children always say things without restraint.
However, this suggestion is still very good. Hanyu Nan said that it can still be adopted~
Of course, he had no other intentions, he just didn't want to hurt the children's young and innocent hearts.
..........
sunset.
The customers of the pastry shop "Maria" gradually dispersed.
Hanyu Kusunoki and his group were also preparing to leave.
"Nan-kun..." Xia Mei stood at the door of the store, twisting the edge of her apron unconsciously with her fingers, "Thank you so much for coming to support us today."
Her grey eyes glowed softly in the sunset, her brown hair was gently blown by the evening breeze, and her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of dreamy gold, like a princess in a fairy tale.
Well, this is a real princess, even though her country has been destroyed.
"It's an honor for us."
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled and said, "Your dessert is really great."
Mingmei also nodded in agreement: "Ms. Xiamei's craftsmanship is so amazing that I want to become her apprentice."
Although Xiao Ai didn't say anything, the fact that she was holding a packaged strawberry cake in her hand said it all.
Xia Mei's cheeks flushed: "If...if you like, you can come anytime..."
This was one of the reasons why she opened her store next to the dumpling shop.
The way she seemed to be hesitant to speak made the butler standing beside her couldn't help but sigh. How could this old butler who had watched Xia Mei grow up since she was a child not see what his young lady was thinking?
"By the way," Hanyu Kusunoki seemed to suddenly remember something, "Are you free after the store closes tomorrow?"
Xia Mei's eyes lit up: "Yes! Of course!"
She answered too quickly, and immediately realized her mistake, blushing as she added, "I mean... the store will close at 5pm tomorrow... no, 4pm..."
The old housekeeper held his forehead with his hand: Miss, be reserved! Be reserved!
Hanyu Nan laughed: "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, okay!"
Xia Mei nodded vigorously, like a girl who had been invited to a date.
"It's about the gourmet cell roaster," Hanyu Kusunoki explained. "I think it can be more useful in your hands."
Xia Mei opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Is it really possible? That magical oven..."
"Of course." Hanyu Kusunoki nodded, "But I promised Ayumi that I would visit her home tonight."
He glanced meaningfully at Mrs. Yoshida who was playing with Ayumi not far away.
Xia Mei followed his gaze and immediately understood something. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly cheered up: "I understand... See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
After watching Hanyu Kusunoki and his group leave, Xia Mei stood there for a long time and was unwilling to go back to the store.
"Miss..." the old butler couldn't help but remind, "Master Hanyu has gone far away."
"Oh, yes!" Xia Mei finally came to her senses and hurried back to the store, "I have to prepare some snacks to bring tomorrow!"
The old housekeeper looked at his young lady's excited back and shook his head helplessly: Girls can't be kept when they grow up...
