Chapter 167: The Moonlight is Beautiful, the Milk Tea is Sweet. _3
Musen laughed as he said that.
Yu Lan was a bit confused, but she always felt this guy was up to no good.
"Fine, I'll arrange for you to have a job scrubbing toilets in the future."
Yu Lan gave him a white look.
Musen set down his teacup, "But I really should thank you for your help. Once the new store is stable, how about we have a meal together to show my appreciation?"
Yu Lan looked at him suspiciously, "What's your ulterior motive?"
She really was afraid of being duped again.
"It's just purely to thank you and to connect on a more personal level."
"I have no 'personal level' to speak of with you stinky men, Mr. Pitfall…" Yu Lan said irritably.
Musen smiled, "Are you saying you prefer women then?"
Yu Lan lifted her delicate neck proudly.
"That would still be much better than you stinky guys." Read exclusive adventures at empire
Just as she uttered these words, Yang Xiaotao happened to walk in with some documents.
The moment she stepped into the room and heard their conversation, her plump little face became slightly wary.
Is her boss really a lesbian?
Yu Lan's face flushed slightly and she glared at Yang Xiaotao, "What's with that look? Hurry up and bring the stuff here."
"Oh." Yang Xiaotao handed over the items.
Musen then prepared to take his leave.
Shortly after, Musen returned holding two cups of milk tea, handing one to each of them.
"This is today's special new item. You both worked hard today, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Musen turned and left.
Yang Xiaotao happily took a sip of her milk tea, then looked at the cup in front of Yu Lan and suddenly exclaimed.
"Wow, your cup is today's commemorative new product, 'The moon is beautiful'..."
Yang Xiaotao read aloud, noticing the slogan sticker on Yu Lan's milk tea cup.
Yang Xiaotao's expression suddenly took on a meaningful air.
"What's with that look?"
Yu Lan asked, also taking a sip through the straw.
"Zhu Sister, do you know what this milk tea signifies?"
"Don't beat around the bush."
"This is specially prepared for couples to confess their love today. 'The moon is beautiful' is a metaphor for a confession. By accepting his milk tea, it's like you're..."
Yang Xiaotao rambled on, her chubby face full of gossip, and even pulled up the meaning of 'The moon is beautiful' on her phone to show her.
Yu Lan was momentarily stunned. She had no interest in all that romance stuff, so naturally, she didn't grasp the metaphor.
But looking at Yang Xiaotao's phone, her face turned a shade rosier.
No wonder so many guys were queuing up to buy milk tea for girls today; there was a reason for it.
She almost spit out the milk tea in her mouth.
"Pah! What a mess! He can kiss that idea goodbye!"
Yu Lan was a bit flustered as she hurriedly pushed the cup of milk tea aside.
Anyone who falls for this Pitfall King must have a screw loose!
Yang Xiaotao's eyes flickered, but seeing how her boss's face turned red, she couldn't help but say, "Zhu Sister, I read in a book that when a girl really isn't interested in a guy, she's politely indifferent, but the more intense her reaction is, the more it means she actually cares..."
"Yang Xiaotao!"
Yu Lan went up to her and pinched her plump cheek, then slapped her equally plump behind.
"Waaa, Zhu Sister, don't get angry..."
"Keep talking, and I'll smack you to death!"
After a while, Yu Lan grew tired of hitting her and sat in a chair, while Yang Xiaotao sat on the side pouting, covering her butt.
Feeling quite thirsty, Yu Lan subconsciously looked at the milk tea in front of her.
The moon is beautiful…
"Zhu Sister, are you still going to drink this cup?" Yang Xiaotao typically had a short memory.
She was now leaning in to look at the milk tea next to her hand.
Yu Lan steadied her breathing.
Indeed, why be so concerned if she didn't like him?
To be concerned was simply because she wanted revenge for being duped!
"Drink it! Why wouldn't I? I deserve it."
Yu Lan took a sip, finding it quite sweet. She decided to go to his store daily to freeload food and drinks, recouping whatever she could.
Thinking this way, Yu Lan felt like she had finally managed to play him for once.
This thought dispelled all her gloom from earlier.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotao stood to one side, watching her boss grow happy from just a sip of milk tea.
She sighed to herself; her boss usually spends thousands on tea cakes.
Yet now, she was this happy over a milk tea that only costs a few bucks.
Keep freeload, she thought, sooner or later, you'll be charmed by it...
