TFWYH – Chapter 196 Transfer of the Shop

But it smelled so good… Yanyan wanted to eat so badly.

Just then, Tang Wan came out of the kitchen, carrying a bowl of freshly set double-skin milk pudding, and placed it in front of her.
“Here, have this first. When you’re better, I’ll have Yue’er make more so you can eat as much as you want.”

Yanyan stared blankly at the small, delicate cup — the pudding topped with little pieces of colorful fruit looked so pretty that she didn’t even want to ruin it.
“It’s so pretty… and it smells like milk. What is it?”

“Double-skin milk! I made it just for you — it even has some medicinal herbs mixed in to help you heal.”
Tang Wan was thoughtful as ever. Seeing that Yanyan was too hesitant to start, she scooped up a spoonful and held it to her lips. “Here, try it!”

Yanyan’s cheeks flushed pink. She snuck a glance at Ling Yu — when she saw that he wasn’t scowling like usual, she shyly opened her small cherry mouth.

“Well? Isn’t it good?” Tang Wan asked, looking at her expectantly.

Blushing, Yanyan nodded. “It’s delicious… thank you, Sister Wan. I can feed myself!”

Tang Wan handed her the pudding and had just sat back down when Ling Yu spoke coolly from beside her,
“Wife, I want meat.”

“Oh!” Tang Wan immediately started cooking some slices for him in the pot.

Once the meat was done, the handsome troublemaker said again, “Feed me.”

“Oh!” Tang Wan didn’t think much of it — she blew on the meat to cool it and fed it to him.

Ling Yu glanced at Yanyan out of the corner of his eye and drawled, “More.”

“Oh.”

“Feed me.”

“Oh.”

“Now I want beef.”

“Oh.”

“Feed me.”

“Mhm!”

…

Before long, Tang Wan had no chance to eat anything herself — she was too busy serving the proud, demanding Ling Yu.

Everyone: “……”

Yanyan: “……”

She suddenly didn’t feel hungry anymore!

At last, Madam Jiang couldn’t stand it any longer. “What, you don’t have hands? Feed yourself! Wan-niang hasn’t even eaten properly yet, and you’re still making her serve you?”

Ling Yu: “……”

Fine, fine — he could eat on his own!

But not only did the beautiful man start feeding himself, he also began feeding Tang Wan in return — continuing his mischief!

Everyone: “……”

For heaven’s sake!

Could they please just let everyone eat in peace?!

In the end, the meal was lively and full of laughter — everyone ate until they were stuffed.

Milk tea was refilled cup after cup.

When Tang Hongba had nearly finished eating, Ling Yue finally brought up the real reason she’d invited him.
“Uncle Tang, I don’t plan to keep running that shop. Would you like to take it over? I’ll transfer it to you for the same price.”

Tang Hongba froze. “Transfer it… to me?”

Ling Yue smiled and nodded. “Yes. Not just the shop — I’ll even teach you how to prepare the pork offal dishes.”

“That… doesn’t seem right,” he said hesitantly. In ordinary families, a single trade skill could feed generations. For this girl to offer to teach him — wasn’t that far too generous?

Ling Yue insisted, “It’s fine. Our family has more and more businesses now, and I really don’t have the time to manage that shop anymore. If you want it, it’s yours. If not, I’ll sell it to someone else anyway.”

Hearing that, Tang Hongba grew anxious. “No, no — I’ll take it!”

The shop was in a great location, the price was fair, and she was even willing to teach him the craft. He’d be a fool to say no!

“Good! After we eat, we’ll sign a contract,” Ling Yue said teasingly. “Just for formality’s sake, Uncle Tang — don’t overthink it.”

Tang Hongba laughed and shook his head. “How could I? You’re already giving me such a good deal!”

This girl Yue was clever and capable — smooth-tongued and business-savvy. A natural-born merchant!

Then he remembered that his youngest son still hadn’t married… and Yue was nearly thirteen.

But he quickly dismissed the thought.

Those two clearly had no spark between them — and honestly, that girl Yue… his silly son would never be able to handle her.
