Ruan Li teased, "Aren't you worried that when Wen comes back, he'll find out you've run the store into the ground?"
Su Bai opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.
Ruan Li asked, "Where are your staff?"
"...No business, let them go, or I'd be losing money even faster."
Ruan Li looked Su Bai up and down, "Why do you seem a bit off today?"
Su Bai pulled a corner of his mouth, the sudden smile a bit forced, "Do I? I don't think so."
Ruan Li couldn't pinpoint what felt strange, "Did Wen say when he's coming back?"
She kind of missed his cooking.
Exquisite, delicate, expensive, she couldn't fathom why anyone would like it.
"Boss didn't tell me... but he said he might be gone for a long time this time." Su Bai looked at Ruan Li, his originally light-colored pupils now cloaked in a thick fog.
He added, "Is there anything you need to tell the boss? I can pass it along for you."
Ruan Li shook her head, "Can't think of anything right now, but if he comes back, let me know."
