After all, Cheng Ruitong was the president of a company. She was naturally busy. Before Lin Xiaowan’s arrow could hit the target, Cheng Ruitong received a work call and had to leave.

Lin Xiaowan looked reluctant as she waved at Cheng Ruitong. “Goodbye, Sister Cheng!”

Cheng Ruitong smiled and said, “See you next time!”

Meanwhile, Gu Yuwu, who was standing at the side, watched the duo’s interaction. She had seen them exchanging contact details earlier; it was clear that the duo had gotten closer. At this moment, she cleared her throat and asked, “Sister Cheng, you didn’t say goodbye to me! I’m still here!”

Cheng Ruitong chuckled and said, “Goodbye, Yuwu.”

Gu Yuwu was just joking with Cheng Ruitong. She said, “Alright, alright, since you’re busy, you better go…”

After Cheng Ruitong left, Gu Yuwu took over and played with Lin Xiaowan.

Lin Xiaowan was very interested, but she was also confused. She asked, “Is this also considered a form of exercise? It’s not tiring at all.”

Previously, Lin Xiaowan noticed that Gu Yuwu was not out of breath at all when they climbed Mount An. From the beginning until the end, Gu Yuwu was very relaxed. If she was not present, she felt that Gu Yuwu, Qin Yanchuan, and Huo Zheng would be able to climb to the top without resting. The trio’s stamina was amazing.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaowan’s legs were extremely sore after she returned from the hike. Nonetheless, she still gritted her teeth and came up with a training plan. Alas, her training plan failed completely.

Her sore legs only reminded her of the hard work, but she forgot that hard work was also part of the process.

“Since we’re only doing this for fun, there’s not much exercise involved,” Gu Yuwu said before asking, “What’s wrong? Do you want to exercise?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded bitterly. “I feel like I should exercise.”

“That’s a good idea. However, you’re a little too thin. Are you usually picky with your food?”

“No, and 1 eat a lot as well,” Lin Xiaowan replied.

She aimed at the target and released an arrow at this moment. As expected, her posture was not quite right, and she lacked strength. Before the arrow even touched the target, it fell to the ground again. However, the distance between the arrow and the target was much closer than before. Moreover, it was not like the arrows fell short of the target every time. She had hit the target twice before this.

Gu Yuwu clapped her hands and said, “Not bad, not bad. You’ve improved a little.”

Lin Xiaowan picked up another arrow and said, “Although I look thin, there’s no problem with my weight. Previously, when I went for a checkup, the doctor said that my weight is okay!”

“Really?” Gu Yuwu looked surprised. She held Lin Xiaowan’s wrist and said, “Look, you don’t have any meat here.”

Lin Xiaowan shrugged. Then, she thought of something and asked, “Oh, right. When will the fantasy drama start airing?”

Gu Yuwu smiled. “Not so soon. It’ll be aired in December or after mid-January…”

“So long? 1 thought I’d be aired soon after the filming was completed,” Lin Xiaowan said.

“How’s that possible? There are many things to do apart from filming. Moreover, after post-production, it has to be sent for review. The process of reviewing also takes a while,” Gu Yuwu replied.

When Lin Xiaowan returned home, she thought about the vlog Gu Yuwu had filmed during their trip. She kept checking Gu Yuwu’s page the first two days after the trip. However, Gu Yuwu did not post the vlog. When they met earlier, Lin Xiaowan planned to ask about it, but she completely forgot about it.

Lin Xiaowan logged into her account before she went to Gu Yuwu’s page. This time, Gu Yuwu finally uploaded her vlog.

Gu Yuwu had told Lin Xiaowan that she would not reveal Lin Xiaowan’s face so Lin Xiaowan was very assured. However, even if her face was not revealed, she was still very curious since this is the first time she appeared in a vlog. Moreover, although her face was not revealed, her voice could be heard, and her body could be seen. She wanted to see what others thought of her.

The number of views for the video was very high. Gu Yuwu’s followers had increased since the last time Lin Xiaowan logged in.

Lin Xiaowan watched the ten-minute vlog that Gu Yuwu uploaded.

Apart from the chef that helped them prepare the food for the picnic, almost everyone in the vlog was ’headless’. One person even commented jokingly, “When I have money, I’ll definitely buy a few ‘heads’ for President Gu!”

Lin Xiaowan watched the video with great interest. At the end of the video, she discovered that Gu Yuwu had included a photo of her and Huo Zheng at the last step of the stairs when Huo Zheng was carrying her. However, both of their faces were covered with cartoon stickers.

Gu Yuwu had sent the original photo to Lin Xiaowan, and Lin Xiaowan had used it as her screensaver. It was clear that she really liked the photo a lot.

Most of the comments were directed at Gu Yuwu, but there were also a few comments directed at the other three people. There were quite a lot of comments, and Lin Xiaowan sighed in relief when she saw that there were no negative comments.

At the beginning of July, Lin Xiaowan and Zhu Yingyue’s dessert shop finally opened for business.

Zhu Yingyue did not personally make the desserts. Instead, she was in charge of the main operations of the shop. If she had to make pastries as well on top of taking care of her children, it would be too tiring for her.

The shop was big so they needed more than one patissier. They also hired more than ten workers.

Lin Xiaowan was a silent partner. She did not have much to do and only had to show up on the opening day.

The name of the shop was given by Lin Xiaowan. It was very simple and direct; it was called Dessert Shop. The signboard was white, and the words were yellow. There were a few pictures of desserts on it as well. All in all, it was simple and direct.

When Lin Xiaowan stood at the entrance and looked at the signboard, she felt a little speechless.

“The dessert shop looks expensive… Will people even come in?”

However, Lin Xiaowan’s worries were proven to be unfounded. The wealthy ladies came in waves. Apart from the wealthy ladies, there were also wealthy men dressed in suits and leather shoes.

The shop was located by a busy street. There were not many parking spaces. If one came early, perhaps one would be lucky to find a parking space. Otherwise, one could only park by the roadside. There were all kinds of luxury cars parked near the shop. If one did not know better, one would think there was an event for the wealthy.

Lin Xiaowan stood behind the counter as she watched women and men of a certain age chatting merrily as they made their way upstairs, led by a staff member. She could not help but feel perplexed.

‘What’s happening? This is a dessert shop, right? Why isn’t there a single youngster here?’

Based on the appearances of the customers, they did not seem like they were here to buy desserts. Instead, they looked more like they were here to discuss business cooperation..
