Lian Manman spoke with a hint of ferocity.
Wu Lang scratched his head, said nothing, while Xiao Qi was genuinely frightened and swiftly hid behind Wu Lang.
Wang Youheng watched from the side, his eyes filled with mirth.
Everyone left the stationery shop, and Wang Youheng invited Lian Manman and the others to sit in his store, wanting to thank them for the pickled vegetables they had given him last time.
"Brother Youheng, no need to be so formal with us," said Lian Manman as she asked Wang Youheng when he had returned and if everything was well at home. Then she told him about their new Pickled Vegetable Workshop.
"Brother Youheng, we're having guests over this afternoon, and we'd like you to come too. Father and Mother have been wanting to invite you for a meal, but there never seemed to be a good time, and now it's perfect," said Lian Manman in conclusion.
Wu Lang and Xiao Qi also encouraged Wang Youheng to come back to the village with them.
