The Boss is Reborn with his Little Fairy

Wen Ke’an knew that Li Yueyue couldn’t keep quiet after the whole ordeal. And sure enough, she had something planned.

When it was time to go to the night market in the evenings, Wen Ke’an didn’t stay at home to study. Instead, she went to the night market with her parents. Since they already had a few regular customers, they were worried that these customers might not find their stall. So, Wen Qiangguo had been sticking to the same location ever since.

Under normal circumstances, as soon as Wen Qiangguo set up the stall, it would be surrounded by customers. But today, that wasn’t the case. Only a few scattered customers came to buy their braised snacks.

“Dad, I’ll go take a look over there.”

After informing her father, Wen Ke’an walked towards her second aunt’s stall. Their location was probably acquired at a high price because it was in a prime spot where most customers passed by. On top of that, they offered significant discounts, which attracted a crowd of customers to buy their food.

Perhaps to attract more customers, they set their prices very low, even lower than the normal market price. Wen Ke’an asked a little girl for help and bought some braised duck wings from their stall. The price was low, but the serving was big so they gave her a lot of food. However, after Wen Ke’an took a simple bite, she realized that something was not right.

After finishing their busy work and returning home, Wen Ke’an placed the purchased duck wings on the dining table. “Mom, Dad, try these.”

Wen Qiangguo washed his hands first, then picked up one of the duck wings and tasted it. Shortly after, he frowned. “Although the price is cheap, the duck wings they used aren’t fresh. It all tastes like artificial flavoring.”

Liu Qing took a bite and nodded in agreement. “The way they are doing this will lead to problems sooner or later.”

Wen Qiangguo wasn’t in a hurry and thought it was a good opportunity to take a break for a couple of days, not having to make so much braised food every day.

In the past few days, Wen Ke’an had been studying during the day and helped take over the stall in the evenings. Her parents hadn’t had any rest during this time.

On this day, while Wen Qiangguo rested at home, Wen Ke’an and Liu Qing went to the night market to run the stall.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the granny who sells bracelets today. She wasn’t alone though because she had brought her grandson along. The grandson looked unwilling, sitting at the flea market with a disinterested expression while wearing expensive brand-name clothes.

“Grandma!” Wen Ke’an greeted as she approached the grandmother.

“An-An, it’s been a while since I last saw you,” Grandma smiled.

Sitting bored at the stall, Li Yaobai raised his head upon hearing Wen Ke’an’s voice and looked in her direction.

At that moment, Li Yaobai’s gaze paused for a moment. It had only been a few days, but the girl in front of him had become much thinner, and her features had become even more delicate. Especially her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, as if scattered stardust had blended into her gaze.

After a brief chat, the old grandmother wanted to give Wen Ke’an a fresh flower bracelet. She had made these bracelets herself, emitting a faint floral fragrance.

“Grandson, why don’t you pick one for An-An?” the old grandmother looked at her grandson and suddenly suggested.

Wen Ke’an noticed that Li Yaobai seemed a bit annoyed. Not wanting to trouble anyone, she was just about to tell the grandmother that it’s okay, but then Li Yaobai unexpectedly tossed a beautiful bracelet her way.

The flowers on the bracelet had a faint purple color, matching perfectly with the outfit Wen Ke’an was wearing that day.

“I’ll choose this one,” Li Yaobai said in a somewhat indifferent tone, his gaze looking elsewhere, trying to act nonchalant.

The old grandmother came over and personally placed the bracelet on Wen Ke’an’s wrist, smiling, “An-An, it looks lovely on you.”

Wen Ke’an smiled in response, “Thank you, Grandma.”

As more customers gradually arrived, Wen Ke’an returned to her family’s stall to sell their dishes.

After selling for a little while, they encountered Li Yueyue, who came over just to watch the commotion. Li Yueyue walked to the side of their stall and glanced down at the braised duck in the pot with a mocking tone, “Oh, isn’t your family’s braised duck supposed to be so popular? Why can’t you sell them now?”

“Our business is doing just fine, can’t you see, second aunt?” Without waiting for Liu Qing to respond, Wen Ke’an directly retorted. Her voice was calm and gentle, yet it left others at a loss for words.

“Yeah, business is booming so much that we might run out of stock in a few days,” Li Yueyue continued with a sarcastic and gloating tone.

“Yao-ge, I bought some braised snacks. Do you want to try some?” As Li Yueyue’s words fell, a chubby kid ran over from nearby, looking for Li Yaobai.

“It was so cheap! I got all of these for only ten yuan. Want to taste some?” The chubby kid handed a bag of braised duck to Li Yaobai.

Seeing this, Li Yueyue looked smugly at Wen Ke’an and Liu Qing.

Li Yaobai accepted the bag filled with the braised dish and first glanced in Wen Ke’an’s direction. Indeed, several people not far away were all watching him. He fixed his composure and lowered his gaze and took a bite of the braised duck handed to him.

The surroundings seemed to quiet down, everyone waiting for Li Yaobai’s reaction.

However, the strong artificial flavoring made it impossible for Li Yaobai to swallow even a bite.

“Ptui! This tastes disgusting!!”

Silence followed.

Wen Ke’an continued to work at the stall with her parents as usual. Although the business wasn’t as good as before, she noticed some of the old customers were coming back, and things were gradually getting better.

Their family usually set up the stall a bit later, but on this day, as soon as Wen Ke’an and Wen Qiangguo arrived at the night market, they saw a crowd surrounding Li Yueyue’s stall, as if something had happened.

“Sister, what’s going on over there?” Wen Ke’an approached a girl who was selling clothes to ask.

The girl selling clothes shook her head and said, “That duck wing stall sells stale products. It’s been said that some customers had diarrhea after eating their duck wings. This is the fourth customer who came to complain. Luckily, I bought from them yesterday but didn’t eat it!”

Another customer nearby chimed in, “I’m glad I didn’t eat their food either!”

“I really don’t understand why people go there to buy their braised duck. It’s all artificial flavoring, and not tasty at all. In my opinion, the best braised snacks in the night market are from the other stall. Their ingredients are fresh, and the taste is amazing!”

“Yes, that stall indeed has great flavor! It’s not even expensive. My family loves it. My spouse has been eating from there for days!”

As Wen Ke’an walked back, she unexpectedly overheard these comments. She quickened her pace and found that their stall was now crowded with customers, and all the prepared braised ducks were quickly sold out.

After several days of not coming home this early, Wen Ke’an returned home, freshened up, and then sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool breeze. Da Ju lay quietly beside her. The night air had a gentle fragrance, making the atmosphere especially pleasant.

Wen Ke’an opened her phone, realizing that she hadn’t used the study app or answered any of the practice questions for a long time due to family matters. She wondered if her ranking had dropped.

However, before checking the app, she noticed that someone had sent her a message. She opened the message box and was surprised to see that it was from the Most Handsome in the World. The person had sent her a message last night.

The message was simple, consisting of only one word.

[ Hello. ]
