Chapter 171 An Old Acquaintance
"Miss... someone from the shop came to deliver a message! They said someone wants to discuss a business deal with you!" Qingmiao ran up to Yun Juan, panting as she spoke.
During this period, Qingmiao often stayed in the shop to help out, firstly because the shop was too busy and there weren't enough people; secondly, Yun Quan had a little selfish motive in her heart.
As for Qingmiao, she has a very lively and cheerful personality, and her mind works incredibly fast.
But precisely because of this, keeping her by my side to do things felt like a constraint on her.
"Business?" Yun Juan couldn't help but wonder what kind of business it was that required her to personally make the decision.
You should know that she had long ago entrusted all the affairs of the shop, big and small, to Bai Yulan.
"Did Manager Bai send you to inform me?" Yun Juan wondered to herself. If it really was Bai Yulan who sent someone to find her, this business deal must be quite large.
After all, in this place, it's incredibly difficult to get by without enough money!
Thinking of this, Yun Juan couldn't help but sigh softly, silently telling herself: I still need to work harder in the future!
However, to Yun Quan's surprise, Qing Miao shook her head and denied it, saying, "No, Miss. As soon as that man walked into our shop, he specifically asked to see the owner! Manager Bai told him that she was the owner of this shop. Who knew that the man insisted that he was looking for Miss Yun!"
At this point, Qingmiao looked completely bewildered, clearly not understanding why the other party knew her young lady's name.
Upon hearing these words, Manager Bai showed a hint of surprise, but quickly recovered and hurriedly got up to personally and respectfully welcome the man into the back hall.
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly sent Qingmiao, the clever and obedient maid in the shop, to invite Yun Quan over.
"You specifically asked to see me?" Yun Juan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She rarely goes to the shops on weekdays, and very few people know the true owners of these shops!
It's really too strange that someone would specifically ask to see her by name.
"This person is really strange!" Yun Juan thought to herself. "But since that's the case, I'll go and see who this mysterious figure is and uncover his true identity!"
So, Yun Juan tidied herself up a bit, changed into a simple yet elegant outfit, and then set off for the shop.
When Yun Juan stepped into the back hall, she immediately spotted that figure.
Even though it was just a glimpse of her back, it instantly brought back memories of what happened one night.
"It was him?" Yun Juan's eyes widened, and she murmured in disbelief.
It turned out that the man in front of her was the one who had saved her life that night!
Recalling the scene at that time, Yun Quan couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.
However, at that moment, she suddenly felt a dizziness, as if some important memory was about to break free and surge out.
In an instant, tears streamed down Yun Juan's face like a burst dam.
She couldn't help but call out that name: "Aqing..." With this call, the memories buried deep in her heart surged up like a tide, and she finally remembered... Everything was clearly displayed in her mind at this moment.
"Fragments! It's fragments!" Suddenly, Gouzi's voice rang in Yun Juan's mind, like a thunderclap ripping through the sky.
"The fragment is him? How is that possible..." Yun Juan was stunned, completely unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.
At this moment, the male protagonist, dressed in a crimson robe, slowly turned his head, tilted his head, and smiled at Yun Quan.
His exquisite attire further accentuated his already stunning good looks, making him even more captivating.
Her face, which already possessed a touch of feminine beauty, became even more alluring now, thanks to the added hint of pitifulness.
Her eyes and brows seemed to be shrouded in mist, and when her lips parted slightly, they seemed capable of stealing one's soul.
"Long time no see..." With this gentle greeting, Yun Juan smiled sweetly at the person in front of her. Her smile was full of joy and happiness after a long separation, as radiant and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring.
However, Aqing, standing to the side, stared intently at Yun Juan with a hopeful expression, and asked impatiently, "Sister, do you remember everything?"
His eyes revealed a complex mix of anticipation and fear of disappointment.
But to everyone's surprise, Yun Juan gently shook her head, replying with a hint of regret: "I don't remember everything about you, only a small part."
As she said this, her gaze was slightly lowered, as if she was somewhat embarrassed to face Aqing's disappointed expression.
"It's good that you remember me, sister...it's good that you remember me, sister!" Aqing said excitedly, her voice trembling slightly.
He slowly stretched out his trembling hand, as if wanting to touch the person in front of him, but he seemed hesitant and afraid, and finally stopped in mid-air.
However, in that instant, for some unknown reason, he suddenly thought of something and quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
"My sister doesn't like being touched! It was Aqing who overstepped her bounds!" Aqing quickly explained with a wry smile.
But then, his smile returned, his eyes sparkling with joy, "As long as my sister is still alive, that's all that matters!"
God knows how long he actually waited!
Tens of thousands of years? Hundreds of thousands of years? Or even longer!
Time flies, winter goes and spring comes, the seasons change, and time flows on in endless cycles.
But he waited silently, hoping to see his sister again.
"How...how did you find this place!" Yun Juan frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on A Qing in front of her.
She didn't believe his appearance was merely a coincidence.
She gracefully walked to the table, sat down naturally on the stool, picked up the teapot, and poured herself a cup of fragrant tea.
Although countless tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, have passed, for Yun Quan, those memories have long since vanished without a trace, like smoke.
Even the memories of Aqing that I just had were merely being reawakened from the depths of my mind.
Having experienced the vicissitudes of life, she no longer easily believed that such coincidences could happen in the world.
“I don’t know… I was in a deep sleep… Later, when I woke up, a mysterious voice told me to go to Tianyuan Kingdom, saying that everything I longed for was there! So, without hesitation, I embarked on the journey to Tianyuan Kingdom!”
Ah Qing spoke softly, her eyes revealing both respect and longing for Yun Juan.
