Chapter 60 - Promise (2)
An Yun walked around inside and finally couldn’t help but give it a try, finding that the lip balm inside was indeed very good, but it was still only half as good as what he had made. Looking at the price of the lip balm, he murmured in his heart that if he could sell his own, he might be able to make a lot of money.
Just when An Yun was feeling regretful and a little uncomfortable, a voice suddenly came from beside him. “What is it? Are you thinking about your lip balm?”
An Yun was startled and turned around to look, only to see Zang Ya holding a lip balm box and looking at it casually, without glancing in his direction, as if the question had not come from him.
However, An Yun knew that it was Zang Ya who had spoken. He hesitated and admitted directly, “Well, I was thinking about my lip balm. If I could sell it outside, that would be great!”
Zang Ya listened to An Yun’s sigh, glanced at him sideways, put down the lip balm box in his hand, and then said, “What’s the difficulty? If you want to sell, I can give you a shop. You can be in the makeup business.”
When Zang Ya said this, he had already picked up another box and looked at it, but didn’t know what he saw. There was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
However, An Yun, upon hearing Zang Ya’s words, felt suddenly happy. He reached out and grabbed Zang Ya’s sleeve, saying with bright eyes, “Are you saying the truth?”
Zang Ya had originally just looked at An Yun’s sad expression and spoke casually, but now, seeing An Yun’s surprised expression and shining eyes, he couldn’t take back his words.
“Of course, it’s not just a shop. I have many shops under my name. I’ll find one for you when I go back. Then, you can do whatever you want; let alone selling lip balm, even if you want to sell other things, that’s also possible.”
Listening to Zang Ya’s words, the joy in An Yun’s eyes almost overflowed. He knew that Zang Ya always kept his promises, and since he said so, he would naturally follow through.
At that moment, An Yun completely forgot to explore how Zang Ya knew he was selling lip balm in his house and how he knew that An Yun cared about it. Overwhelmed with excitement, he couldn’t help but hug Zang Ya.
Zang Ya, who was suddenly hugged, was momentarily stunned, but then he embraced An Yun’s slender waist. What he was thinking about was that Song Lin’s words were occasionally useful. For example, now, when he took An Yun out for a walk, An Yun would be very happy and even take the initiative to hug him.
After that, An Yun kept thinking about what Zang Ya had said. He felt a little absent-minded on the way and even looked forward to going back early.
However, as Zang Ya took him to more places and he encountered more things, An Yun gradually forgot about it.
An Yun finally went out once and felt a strong yearning for the outside world. Unknowingly, his eyes were drawn to the people and things outside.
By the time An Yun came to his senses again, they had already had dinner and were ready to go back.
It was still late summer; the sun had not set yet, and the sky was still bright. The two of them returned in a carriage.
When he got off the carriage, An Yun still had a smile on his face, thinking about how to distribute the things he bought that day to the maids in the house once he got back.
After the two got off the carriage, Zang Ya took An Yun’s hand and was about to go inside when a young man standing at the door ran over, approached them, and said, “Young master, the old madam told me to wait for you here and let the young master go see her as soon as he comes back.”
The moment the young man spoke, the atmosphere at the scene froze.
An Yun felt that the relaxed atmosphere around Zang Ya had vanished in an instant and had even become extremely serious.
Zang Ya raised his eyes to look at the boy.
The moment they made eye contact, the boy immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.
Soon, under Zang Ya’s gaze, thin beads of cold sweat gradually broke out on the young man’s forehead, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
An Yun gently pulled on Zang Ya’s sleeve and whispered to him, “How about I go with you?”
As soon as An Yun finished speaking, Zang Ya lost his momentum, turned to look at An Yun, and shook his head. “No need, I’ll just go by myself. You go back and rest first; I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, Zang Ya looked at the boy and said directly, “Let’s go!”
“Yes.” Feeling Zang Ya’s diminished aura, the boy reached up to wipe the sweat from his forehead, lowered his head, and led the way, not daring to say another word.
An Yun watched Zang Ya leave and pursed his lips, feeling a bit worried. He sensed that Old Madam Zang’s visit today must relate to what happened in the store earlier.
An Yun stood there for a long time, hesitating about what to do next.
It wasn’t until the attendant beside him grew worried and urged him that An Yun turned around and went back.
