My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 698 - 685: Burning the Store Again

Su Xuan returned to his residence in the evening, and as he was still staying in Li Yuanyuan’s staff apartment, the bed still held the scent of the love Su Xuan and Li Yuanyuan had shared during the day. Lying in bed, Su Xuan felt all mixed up inside, thinking to himself that it was unbelievable for a handsome guy like him to be sleeping alone at night—no one would believe it if he told them.

Thus, Su Xuan started to flirt with Tang Sisi through text messages.

"Li Yuanyuan indeed looks very good, but you are not bad either. You have a kind of strong, independent woman vibe about you, which is very attractive,"

Su Xuan said bluntly.

Tang Sisi lay in her blanket, holding her phone and chuckled upon reading Su Xuan’s message. She typed back, "I’m like a tomboy; who would like me? Everyone prefers gentle and charming girls like Li Yuanyuan."

Su Xuan smiled knowingly, "Haven’t you heard that each to their own taste? Someone would still like you."

"Who would like me? They must be so out of their mind,"

Tang Sisi immediately followed up after Su Xuan mentioned that everyone has their own taste.

"Sometimes I am out of my mind," Su Xuan texted back with a chuckle.

"But I am not out of my mind."

Tang Sisi replied unreservedly to the message, women indeed are very sensitive. She pondered over Su Xuan’s words word by word. When Su Xuan said he was sometimes foolish, what did he mean by ’sometimes’? Did it mean that he sometimes liked me and sometimes did not?

Tang Sisi, sensitive and detail-oriented, still harbored feelings for Su Xuan from the time before Liu Feilong had died—back then, she was stopped by Liu Feilong’s men in the market demanding protection money, and Su Xuan eventually rescued her from Liu Feilong’s hideout. She had twisted her ankle, and Su Xuan had carried her, running all the way back, while she vividly remembered Su Xuan drenched in sweat.

That said, Tang Sisi did have some feelings for Su Xuan, but they weren’t very strong.

Later, when Su Xuan heard that Datang Restaurant had been blocked by people from the Supreme Treasure Restaurant, he didn’t hesitate to confront them, and settled the matter that very day.

Now, after Datang Restaurant had been burned, Su Xuan had also been busy helping with the preparations to reopen it the next day; Su Xuan held a warm place in Tang Sisi’s heart, yet her interaction had grown somewhat cold as her sister, Tang Tiantian, mentioned that Su Xuan had been getting close to Li Yuanyuan recently.

"Come over tomorrow morning, and that’s it. Go to sleep early yourself,"

Tang Sisi spoke to Su Xuan dismissively.

"What, you’re sleeping so soon? I’m not even sleepy yet. How about we find a place to grab some coffee?"

Su Xuan typed out the message along with a smiley face at the end.

"I have to wake up early tomorrow, don’t run around. Good sleep is essential for a fresh start,"

Tang Sisi messaged back finally, including a waving goodbye emoji at the end.

"Love you, goodbye."

Su Xuan sent a heart emoji and signed out of WeChat. Although Tang Sisi too was a strong woman, she was different from Yun Zhonghu, who was more open. Tang Sisi was a bit aloof; however, the ultimate in aloofness was Yizhu, the CEO of the Tianma Group. She was truly as aloof as they come, to be admired from a distance but not to be frivolously approached.

At that moment, Tang Sisi also signed out of WeChat but couldn’t settle her mind after seeing Su Xuan’s last message ’Love you, goodbye.’ Was this a signal from Su Xuan to her?

Tang Sisi felt conflicted; she was already feeling irritable, and now it was even harder for her to fall asleep.

Until morning, when she got up, her eyes were still red. She blamed Su Xuan for flirting with her last night, thinking he was really naughty.

However, once she got to the store, Tang Sisi immediately slipped back into her competent, decisive self and started preparing for the reopening without any delays.

Since Su Xuan had come over to help early, he noticed the redness in Tang Sisi’s eyes and said, "Didn’t you sleep at all last night? Your eyes have turned into panda eyes."

"If you hadn’t chatted with me, I would have slept already!"

Tang Sisi glared at Su Xuan, and Tang Tiantian also came running out. Seeing Su Xuan, she was very happy, especially because Su Xuan had dressed up nicely today, wearing clothes from a boutique that made him look exceptionally handsome, just like someone straight out of a TV drama.

"Brother Xuan, you finally came. My sister has been having trouble sleeping these past few days; I even saw the light in her room on in the middle of the night,"

Tang Tiantian deliberately revealed her sister’s situation to Su Xuan.

"You little mischief-maker, how would you know I don’t sleep at night?"

Tang Sisi asked while tweaking her sister’s ear.

"I saw it when I went to the bathroom at night, okay? If you keep being so fierce, who will dare to marry you in the future? Let go already,"

Tang Tiantian finally escaped from her sister’s grip, looking annoyed at her.

"Who wants to marry me, and what business is it of yours?" Tang Sisi was quite unhappy about her sister bringing up the matter of no one wanting to marry her.

At that moment, their father Tang Fengyun walked out of the store. He too had been distressed these days, with the shop being set on fire causing his hair to turn white in hundreds of places.

Seeing Su Xuan had arrived, he immediately felt a burst of joy. Tang Fengyun was getting older and had to hand over the management of the Datang Restaurant to his elder daughter, Tang Sisi. But as she was a woman, there were some things she found inconvenient to handle.

When Tang Fengyun had his two daughters later in his life, it was like having children late in one’s life. As the mother of Tang Sisi had passed away early, he had raised the two girls single-handedly, so he still hoped they would both settle down soon.

Especially Tang Sisi, getting a boyfriend to share in her business would also put Tang Fengyun’s mind at ease.

As for Tang Tiantian, who is only fifteen this year, school is still the priority, and Tang Fengyun isn’t in a hurry to push her into marriage.

It was his eldest daughter that always troubled Tang Fengyun, though many men came to the restaurant because of her renown, those men were only interested in her beauty, with very few genuinely wanting to settle down with her.

When he saw Su Xuan, Tang Fengyun felt as if he had seen hope, Su Xuan and his eldest daughter had been ambiguously involved several times, and seeing his daughter’s positive response, he thus wanted to hasten their marriage.

"Su Xuan has arrived, come on, come inside, don’t stand out there, let Sisi handle these matters."

Tang Fengyun said cheerfully, causing Tang Sisi to suddenly feel as if her dad must be a fake, wondering how he could dote on others but not know how to cherish his own daughter.

"Dad, what are you saying, why are you throwing your elbow out, to think I’ve called you ’dad’ all these years, hmph!"

To Tang Fengyun, Tang Sisi was always a child, Su Xuan just smiled and said nothing. However, the way Tang Sisi got angry was quite endearing.

The grand opening ceremony of Datang Restaurant was finally about to begin!

But at the entrance, a group of suspicious individuals slowly began to gather, most dressed in sportswear, black tank tops, their faces tough with brawny arms tattooed with mythical creatures, and their eyes gleamed with ferocity, blending into the crowd who came to watch.

On the first day of opening, Tang Sisi, as manager of Datang Restaurant, demonstrated her marketing skills. On opening day, everything was half off, and small gifts were given out, attracting an especially large crowd, thanks to the restaurant’s previous good reputation and many loyal customers eager to support its reopening.

The ribbon-cutting event finally began, Tang Sisi had invited local district committee members, and Tang Fengyun also joined the lineup, everyone was in high spirits.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, as if something exploded among the crowd.

It turned out to be firecrackers, tossed by someone unknown, giving the bystanders quite the scare.

Su Xuan stood nearby, noticing several thuggish individuals continuously moving forward, seemingly looking for trouble.

Su Xuan went over and grabbed one of the men pushing forward. The man, after being grabbed and turning to see Su Xuan, naturally did not recognize him.

"You looking to die..." freёnovelkiss.com

The man swung up a fist, intending to give Su Xuan a piece of his mind, but Su Xuan merely flicked his finger, causing the man to crumple, weak and limp. Su Xuan supported him, pretending to be a friend, and took him away from the crowd to a corner where he kicked him to the ground.

Just then, Su Xuan had also spotted a few others looking to cause trouble, swiftly rounding them up as well.

Suddenly, more than a dozen ill-intentioned individuals were gathered.

"Speak, who sent you?"

Su Xuan lit a cigarette, exhaling slowly as he asked with a grin.

"Who sent us? We’re just passing by!"

One of them still had a tough attitude, but Su Xuan pulled a knife and several condoms, blue pills, and more from him, clearly no good intentions. Even his wallet was stuffed with several obscene images, "Speak, or I may get rough."

Su Xuan said, grinning.

At this point, one of them couldn’t take it anymore, shouting at Su Xuan, "Who the hell are you to mind my business? Let us go or believe me, it’ll only take a minute to kill you!"

"I don’t believe you."

Su Xuan shook his head innocently, just as several cars suddenly drove up on the street, people carrying gasoline cans alighting from them—clearly here to burn down Datang Restaurant.

"Hey, we’re here!"

At this point, one person, from the captives, finally shouted toward them, "Quick, come save us!"

At that moment, Su Xuan spotted a familiar face!

Su Xuan had previously worked in Wang Fangqian’s gambling den and knew some people there, both familiar with each other, and now found someone from the gambling den among those coming to torch the restaurant.

This matter clearly involved Wang Fangqian, and Su Xuan remembered being ambushed by his men when he had resigned. He had the remaining people go back and tell Wang Fangqian he’d settle scores later; now the man had come to him on his own.

"You are Wang Fangqian’s men."

Su Xuan stated plainly to the captives.

"So what if we are, kid, mind your own business, or else..."

Slap!

Su Xuan was too lazy to reason with them. Before one could finish, Su Xuan slapped him, blood immediately trickling from his ear.

"I’ve faced hundreds of men, not missing these few either."

Su Xuan gave them a sly look, realizing Wang Fangqian was getting bolder by the minute, necessitating a lesson to not be taken lightly.
