(MC POV)
Diao Chan left the shop more subdued than normal and by the look on Lian Li's face, she most likely saw our exchange and knew exactly why Diao Chan was acting like that.
"Ehehehe~ Diao Chan was more interesting today, wasn't she, Darling?" Lian Li giggled.
"Mmm… I suppose so," I chuckled before switching my gaze to the clock on the wall.
It was already close to evening and the streets outside were lit by the roadside lamps powered by Monster Crystals.
"Hmm… If my memory is right… I guess the next person who would be showing up is…"
The door was pushed open again and another familiar face walked in.
"Oh, Brendan. Welcome, welcome. How's your day my friend?" I waved to him as he entered.
"Master Lin… Missus Lin." He greeted us.
Lian Li blushed, "Ehehehe~ Missus Lin~"
Brendan looked at Lian Li weirdly but did not comment on it, opting to sit down heavily at the counter instead.
