"Please take a seat, sir. Our latest dishes include Mapo Tofu, Fish-flavored Shredded Pork... If you want to eat something special, we also have newly-introduced soup dishes..."
The waiter was chattering away at the introduction, but Chen Wang's heart had already flown to the next door.
As he walked upstairs and looked at the guests next door, Chen Wang felt more and more complicated.
When Chen was in his hands before, even though he had a century-old signboard, the number of customers was always sparse. The rare few times when there were many people, it had to be the New Year's Day.
But now, after merging with Cyclamen, even if something happens to the shopkeeper Su Liuye, there are still people coming in and out of the shop, chatting and laughing.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Do you have a favorite flavor?"
Chen Wang was still lost in thought when the waiter's voice suddenly became louder. He quickly agreed casually, "Just what you just said, just two or three of them!"
"Hey, okay, please wait a moment, sir. I'll go down and get ready for you right now!"
Before leaving, the waiter did not forget to look at Chen Wang a few more times, with a slight suspicion on his face...
Even when he was going downstairs, the waiter couldn't help but took another look.
By coincidence, Liu Sheng happened to pass by at this time and noticed that he looked wrong. He simply stepped forward and gave him a tug, "What's wrong? What's the problem above?"
"Brother Liu has a strange customer above him. He looked around as soon as he entered the door. I don't think he looks like a serious diner..."
While explaining, the waiter looked upstairs from time to time.
Glancing upstairs casually, Liu Sheng spoke again, "Have you ordered?"
"I ordered it, it doesn't look like I'm here for free sex..."
"Then just keep an eye on it and call me if something happens!"
"……yes!"
After agreeing, the waiter entered the kitchen to order the dishes.
At this time, on the second floor, as soon as the waiter left, Chen Wang stood up, pretended to be calm and strolled around the second floor for a while, then walked upstairs.
It was his first time here since Cyclamen opened.
He's already here, and no one is following him now. This is a good opportunity to explore the road!
Before going upstairs, Chen Wang took one last look back to make sure no one noticed him, and then he walked up with confidence.
But according to common sense, he probably also knew that as the head of the family, Su Liuye would not crowd downstairs with such a group of people.
The third floor is next to the lobby on the second floor, so I'm afraid it won't be clean anywhere.
Thinking again about the ages of the two children, when Chen Wang passed by the third floor, he didn't even pause and went straight to the fourth floor.
This place in Cyclamen has always been spacious. There hasn't been much traffic in the past two days, and there haven't been many waiters.
Chen Wang walked all the way up and was not stopped by anyone!
However, he walked all over the fourth floor without hearing the sound of any children. After a moment of pause, he turned around and went up to the fifth floor.
He was still listening to each room, but he still couldn't hear any other sounds.
When he reached the end of the corridor, he suddenly stopped.
At this time, in the bedroom, Dabao and Erbao were sitting at the round table, eating lunch seriously.
Chu Yan was opposite them, quietly looking through the account books.
From time to time, the man would look up.
It wasn't until the rice in their bowls was almost gone that Chu Yan closed the book and asked, "Are you full?"
Dabao nodded and wiped his mouth impatiently, "Dad, where did mother go?"
As soon as he heard the word mother, Erbao immediately sat up straight and his little ears perked up, "Isn't mother coming back?"
"How could it be?" Chu Yan laughed, "Mother just went out to do some things and will be back soon."
Erbao pursed his lips, obviously not believing it, "But I'm already sick, and mother doesn't come to see me. Does mother not like Erbao anymore?"
"I told you that my mother has something to do. When she is done with her work, she will naturally come to see Erbao."
"Then, when will mother come back?"
"This..." Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched Erbao's head, "Daddy promises you that within these two days at the latest, daddy will bring mother back, okay?"
Dabao immediately heard the meaning of his words, "Daddy, are you going to see your mother? We want to go too!"
"No!" This time, Chu Yan refused without hesitation, "Mom is inconvenienced recently, so dad can only go see it alone!"
As soon as the words fell, Dabao and Erbao both crestfallen and dropped their heads.
The look of the two of them made Chu Yan feel a little distressed.
He has personally raised these two children since they were young.
It was rare to have someone other than him in the family, and an elder who was very close to them, so it was normal for the two of them to be sticky.
But thinking about what he had to do in the past two days, he still resisted saying anything and just took out two pieces of maltose from his arms.
"Don't worry, as long as dad is here, mom will be with you."
After saying that, Chu Yan put away the bowls and chopsticks, "Mother-in-law Duan will be with you for the next two days. Remember to be obedient."
Outside the door, Chen Wang was staying outside. When he heard footsteps, he came to his senses and walked downstairs in a panic.
At this time, he must not be discovered!
However, he was walking in a hurry, and when he turned around, he didn't notice that Liu Sheng happened to come up not far away, and with a bang, the two of them bumped into each other on the spot!
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm in a hurry..."
Liu Sheng apologized subconsciously. When he looked up and saw Chen Wang's face, he was slightly startled, "This guest officer... why does he look familiar to you?"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Wang suddenly stretched out his hand to cover half of his face, and hurried away without saying a word.
Liu Sheng immediately frowned!
There's something wrong with this guy!
Without any time to think about anything, he casually grabbed a waiter who was passing by and said, "Send this to Room No. 1, Tianzi. Go now!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for the other party's reply, he raised his feet and chased downstairs.
At this time, Chen Wang had already walked down in a hurry for a long time.
At this moment, he didn't even care about the food on the second floor, so he turned around and walked out of the store.
Following his few steps, Liu Sheng had already remembered.
Isn't this person the former shopkeeper Chen of Chen's Dim Sum?
When he thought of this person's identity, Liu Sheng became more serious.
This man had just had a quarrel with their store. Logically speaking, he should be in jail at this time. Why was he suddenly in this place, looking like he was in a hurry?
Just when he was about to chase him out, Qin Lian appeared out of nowhere and grabbed him, "Liu Sheng? Where are you going?"
"Oops! It's over!"
Liu Sheng slapped his thigh and hurriedly pulled Qin Lian away and looked outside.
Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, the man had completely disappeared into the crowd outside the door.
For a moment, Liu Sheng was extremely annoyed, "It's over, why did you let him run away!"
Qin Lian hadn't realized what had happened, and she looked at Liu Sheng with a confused look on her face, "I just saw you looking uneasy, what's going on?"
Everyone had run away anyway. Liu Sheng sighed and looked directly at Qin Lian without hiding it. "Just now, I saw Shopkeeper Chen."
"Shopkeeper Chen? Which shopkeeper Chen?" At first, Qin Lian didn't react.
Liu Sheng looked at her with a bit of hatred, "Which shopkeeper Chen can make me so interested? It's not the shopkeeper Chen who just took over the Chen family's territory from our shopkeeper!"
"Him? What is he doing here?"
