Chapter 56 I don't owe her anything
Seeing that it was Lin Mowan who came, the busy sisters in the store were also very happy, especially Luo Qiao Niang, who even though she was very busy, hurriedly and excitedly asked Lin Mowan to sit down for a while.

Lin Mowan smiled and nodded in response. Qiao Ji's business has been good since it opened. Luo's ancestors were businessmen, and Luo Qiao's mother's parents were also famous wealthy businessmen in Rong country, and many dignitaries knew them.

Perhaps it was a bloodline passed down, and the fact that Luo Qiao Niang had followed her parents and brothers around since she was a child, so she naturally understood the way of doing business. The business of this shop has always been good.

Lin Mowan asked attentively, "Don't you need my help?" Luo Qiaoniang walked past her with the goods in her arms, smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'll be done in a while, you sit down first."

Lin Mowan didn't insist anymore. She took the lunch box and went to a resting place. She leaned against the corner window and looked outside at little Zhou Ying who looked back. When she saw that it was Lin Mowan, she happily slid down from the chair, and even without walking steadily, she stumbled towards Lin Mowan and hugged her.

At the same time, Zhou Shiran, who was bored fighting crickets, looked up and saw Lin Mowan approaching. He was stunned for a moment, but then reacted immediately. He was no longer at a loss as he had been in previous times. Instead, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and even a glimmer of light. But he seemed to be considering something and glanced in the direction of Luo Qiaoniang.

Lin Mowan put down the food box in her hand and picked her up carefully. It was obvious that little Zhou Ying liked her very much, and her two little hands hugged her neck tightly.

Lin Mowan ignored Zhou Shiran who was staring at her, and walked straight to the table with little Zhou Ying in her arms, sat down, opened the food box, took out the freshly made snacks and black tea, and ate and drank with little Zhou Ying.

Zhou Shiran stood aside and did not go over immediately, but it was obvious that after Lin Mowan came, he seemed to have no mood to fight crickets. He absent-mindedly pinched the weeds he had picked up casually from the roadside when he came up, and glanced at Luo Qiaoniang who was still busy. After struggling in his heart, he threw away the weeds in his hand and walked over.

He tried his best to look as natural as possible and sat opposite Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan handed the snack in her hand to little Zhou Ying. She took a bite happily, squinting her eyes because of the delicious taste and shaking her little feet uncontrollably.

Zhou Shiran hesitated to speak, perhaps because he felt guilty. He kept rubbing his hands together. Before he could think of what to say, Lin Mowan spoke first: "Yingying is so cute."

Zhou Shiran was stunned for a moment, then just said perfunctorily: "Ah... yes, that's right."

Lin Mowan turned to look at him, then glanced calmly at Luo Qiaoniang who was seeing off the guests outside, then lowered her eyes and continued, "Qiaoniang is really amazing. She has managed this place in perfect order. She must have helped you a lot."

These words surprised Zhou Shiran a little, but at the same time, they were like a wake-up call, striking hard at his heart, reminding him not to do anything to let Luo Qiaoniang down.

He didn't reply, but turned back thoughtfully and looked at the people outside again with complicated eyes. This could be regarded as Lin Mowan's last advice to him.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and seemed to have adjusted his mentality. When he looked up at Lin Mowan, there was no trace of struggle and guilt in his eyes.

He smiled calmly: "Yes, she did help me, but she was originally just a merchant's daughter. I gave her the status of Shangshu's wife, didn't I?"

Isn't this the way it should be? Lin Mowan thought so and looked at him puzzledly.

At the end, he paused. These words that expressed his loyalty to her in both a veiled and covert way made Lin Mowan hesitate to speak again. There was some doubt in her calm eyes.

He thought about it and seemed to think that Lin Mowan didn't understand what he meant, so he added: "I don't owe her anything, Awan, we have been in love since we were young, I thought you would understand me, you are the only one who understands me."

Lin Mowan still didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly, almost unable to hide the murderous intent in her eyes. At this time, little Zhou Ying beside her pulled Lin Mowan's sleeve and handed her the remaining half of the dessert in her hand. She didn't refuse, but took it with a gentle smile and put it on the plate.

"What about Xiao Yingying?" Lin Mowan asked him.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at little Zhou Ying who was drinking hot tea from the cup in both hands, and replied, "She is my daughter and will always be. Qiao Niang is Yingying's biological mother, but she can't stop me from having a better choice." Now, Lin Mowan made up her mind to kill him. Maybe because she was young before, she never thought he was such a person. She originally wanted to separate him from Luo Qiao Niang, but now, she felt that she should change her plan. She would not separate little Zhou Ying from her mother, nor would she let this scum live too long.

While thinking, in his somewhat nervous and expectant eyes, Lin Mowan finally smiled gently and nodded: "I understand."

Hearing this, Zhou Shiran's expression relaxed, and there was some excitement on his face that was difficult to conceal.

In fact, for Lin Mowan, perhaps there is an element of liking for her. Who doesn't like a woman who is good at both housework and housework, beautiful, gentle, considerate, and sometimes a little quirky? The most important thing is that she is the woman that he once liked but never got.

But apart from that, he didn't want this person to escape from his control. After all, she knew his secrets, and he had worked hard to climb to this position.

If she leaked it, the consequences would be disastrous. Not to mention the official hat, his head and even his entire clan would be in danger of death.

Therefore, it was not unreasonable for him to want to accept Lin Mowan. As long as he had her person and heart in his hands, his secret would remain hidden.

Although Lin Mowan didn't know what he was thinking, she could guess a little. She smiled, stood up, took out a plate from the second layer of the food box and handed it to him, her eyes full of joy: "Try it, I made it especially for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiran was a little confused at first. Lin Mowan continued, "I heard from Qiao Niang that if you have nothing to do at this time every day, you should come back to the store to have a look. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I made some dishes that you like based on your previous tastes. I was thinking of trying my luck, but I didn't expect that I would be lucky today and meet you by chance."

Hearing her say that meeting him was a sign of good luck, Zhou Shiran felt a spark of warmth rising in his heart, which was very touching, as if nothing in the world could make a person more relaxed and comfortable than this.

He smiled and picked up the snacks on the plate contentedly, while Lin Mowan thoughtfully poured her tea...

At this time, the business in the store was almost done. Luo Qiaonian was packing up with the sisters in the store. Sun Xiaoyue suddenly came over. She looked in the direction of Lin Mowan and Zhou Shiran, then turned back to look at Luo Qiaoniang who was concentrating on counting the goods.

After a little hesitation, she poked her arm with her elbow and said, "Qiao Niang, I have something to say. You may not like to hear it, but I think I have to say it."

Luo Qiaoniang felt strange when she heard this. She turned around and looked at her in confusion. Then she followed Sun Xiaoyue's gaze and looked at the two people who were talking and laughing in the lounge. She said, "What's wrong? So mysterious."

Sun Xiaoyue was somewhat helpless: "I think you still need to pay attention to your husband and Miss Lin."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiaoniang pondered over it carefully for a long while. Although she was often careless, she was not stupid. As an adult, she could naturally understand the meaning of Sun Xiaoyue's words.

Then her eyes became more helpless, and she shook her head: "What are you paying attention to? Don't think too much, my husband and Xiaowan are not that kind of people."

Sun Xiaoyue curled her lips, somewhat dissatisfied.

Luo Qiaoniang sighed softly and said nothing more to her. She turned around and continued to put things away. However, Sun Xiaoyue did not give up and kept chattering: "But Miss Lin is really the type that most men would like."

Hearing this, Luo Qiao Niang seemed to realize something and paused slightly.
