Chapter: 4603

Although Liu's family had money, Liu Manqiong still couldn't have a complete childhood.

Her father's betrayal and mother's early passing had already completely destroyed her childhood.

This point, Ye Cheng and Liu Manqiong's experiences also had something in common.

His parents although very loving, after they left the mortal world, also let Ye Cheng's childhood be torn apart.

From then on, Ye Cheng lived in an orphanage for ten years, although he had Aunt Li's care, but to him it was still a painful decade.

Because during those ten years, he had to reaccept the reality of his parents' passing every day for five years, and later, he had to fight against the sorrowful emotional states thinking about his parents every day.

It was actually the guidance and good memories left by his parents before he turned eight that helped him maintain a calm heart and not stray over the next twenty years.

I think Liu Manqiong's good memories should be from when she was little, her mother bringing her here every day to coax her into eating to her heart's content, but later, the person who loved her most was no longer there, so she could only come here to seek out her shadow.

At this moment, a street vendor wearing an apron was busy stir-frying beef noodles on the side of the road and saw Liu Manqiong walking towards him. He quickly smiled and greeted her with a "Manqiong miss, you're here!".

Liu Manqiong regained her composure and hastily said with a smile, "Uncle Niu, where were you two days ago without setting up your stall?"

The vendor was delighted to hear this and said, "Yesterday's child was born, and it's a chubby little boy, weighing seven pounds eight ounces!"

"Woah!" Liu Manqiong exclaimed in surprise. "It's really too good! Next time I'll definitely give the little rascal a big red packet!"

The vendor hurriedly said, "No need to, Miss Manqiong. We receive your blessings every year, and it would be unfair to let you bear the cost again."

Liu Manqiong smiled and said, "Uncle Niu, how about this? I'll tell Manager Wan that I won't increase your rent for the next half year, and consider it as a gift for the little one's red packet."

The vendor looked worried and said, "What do you mean, Miss Manqiong? You haven't raised your rent in ten years, and we're already very grateful to have taken care of us... if not for you, we wouldn't even be able to live here..."

Liu Manqiong giggled and said, "Uncle Niu, don't bother me with this. I'll tell Manager Wan later."

She then pointed to Ye Cheng and told the vendor, "Uncle Niu, I'm taking my friend to go eat something inside. We won't disturb you for now."

The vendor was incredibly grateful and nodded his head, then looked at Ye Cheng with a smiling face and asked, "Miss Manqiong, are you finally dating him?"

"There isn't...," Liu Manqiong hurriedly shook her head: "just ordinary friends."

The vendor looked at Ye Cheng with a deep intention, saying seriously: "I've been doing this for over twenty years. You're Miss Manqiong's first male friend to bring here."

Liu Manqiong said nervously: "Uncle Niu, he's just an ordinary friend of mine. Please don't blow it out of proportion here."

After that, she hastily beckoned Ye Cheng: "Mr. Ye, let's go."

Ye Cheng and the vendor nodded their heads in agreement, then followed Liu Manqiong deep into the snack street.

As they distanced themselves from Uncle Niu's stall, Ye Cheng curiously asked her: "Miss Manqiong, I heard that Uncle Niu was hinting that you're the landlord here?"

Liu Manqiong blinked and drew a line along the direction of the snack street with her slender hand, laughing triumphantly: "This entire street is all mine!" JrNovels.com
