Chapter 21 - Bankrupt

Bao Yu, how is it? If we continue like this, we will eventually go bankrupt." Aunt Shuwan said worriedly. She loved Yueyin, who had been with her for the past few months and became a substitute for her daughter. She loved her like she loved her daughter. Bao Yu could only shake her head when she heard what her aunt said. Bao Yu himself was also very worried about how their business would continue in the future.

"Aunt Shuwan, we should pray that what we sell sells and that we can continue to pursue this business. I'm sure one day we will be successful again." Bao Yu said, calming Aunt Shuwan by pouring hot tea into a small cup when Daoyou had just arrived. She smiled happily because she had recently returned from Louyang city with good news.

"Aunt Shuwan, Bao Yu, I have good news! Some of my family ordered Miss Yueyin's jewelry and they have already paid for everything. This is the money I got from our sales today. Tomorrow I have to send the items to them. So now we have to work hard and pack everything up." Take Daoyou to Aunt Shuwan and Bao Yu, who is currently feeling very happy. The three of them are presently directly packing up the things that Daoyou will send tomorrow morning. After dropping off the items, Daoyou would immediately return to meet Yueyin to provide a list of orders that she had to deliver next week.

"Daoyou, thank you very much for helping us by finding buyers for the items we sell. If it weren't for you, Auntie wouldn't know how to tell Yueyin this. She would definitely feel very sad if she found out about this." Shuwan smiled and invited Daoyou to sit down, then asked Bao Yu to pour hot tea into Daoyou's cup and asked Bao Yu to prepare a meal for Daoyou, who looked very tired.

"Aunt Shuwan, no need to thank me because I am very happy to help all of you. After all, I am here to work and earn wages, it is my duty to help you and our efforts in difficult times like this. We are now one family, so it's hard, happy , difficult, happy we will go through together." Daoyou said while looking affectionately at Bao Yu, who was now lowering her head. At the same time, Shuwan smiled happily when she saw that.

Shuwan knew that Daoyou had actually liked Bao Yu for a long time. That's why Daoyou desperately defended the Bao Yu family and was even willing to get hurt to avenge the dragon that guards the lake on the outskirts of the city of Louyang, who killed Bao Yu's father. Shuwan hopes that the two will be matched so that he only needs to find a mate for Yueyin, who although she is a nobody but Shuwan already considers her like her own daughter.

"Never mind! You guys just enjoy your break first, we'll work hard again tomorrow. I'll be closing shop early now." Shuwan said to Bao Yu and also Daoyou, who immediately replied to Shuwan's words with a smile. They then continued their chat while Shuwan closed their shop.

Elsewhere, Yueyin and Jiangwu were currently in the palace at the bottom of the lake where they had first met. It was just that Yueyin didn't remember their first meeting. "Jiangwu, did you mean what you said earlier? Shouldn't we just be friends?" Yueyin asked, even though she had already accepted Jiangwu's declaration of love, but deep down, she was still a little doubtful about their relationship.

All because the two had just met while neither Yueyin nor Jiangwu knew each other's background at all. Yueyin felt a little regretful because she decided to accept Jiangwu in a hurry. Jiangwu smiled and immediately kissed Yueyin's forehead when she heard what the girl asked.

"Yueyin, I really believe in my feelings and I want to take care of you forever. I will have a serious relationship with you and all because I have loved you very much since we first met. I am very grateful to you for being so kind to help me at that time." Jiangwu said while kissing Yueyin's hand, who was now smiling at her.

"Jiangwu, I am afraid that this is not love but only gratitude and reciprocation." Yueyin said, trying to let go of Jiangwu's hand, but the man grabbed Yueyin's hand and hugged her tightly. Jiangwu brought his face close to Yueyin's ear, who was now trying to break free from the embrace of the man who had just become her lover.
