After I transmigrated, the cold king clung to me every day.

Chapter 153 Reunion at the Restaurant

Shen Wanqing and Zhao Xiong returned to the restaurant. As soon as they stepped inside, Zhao Xiong frowned deeply, his face full of grievance and resentment.

Seeing this, Shen Wanqing shook her head helplessly and said gently, "Alright, brother, stop thinking about it. We're already at the restaurant, why are you still holding a grudge?"

Zhao Xiong was furious and shouted, "I'm so angry! How can there be such a fierce woman in this world? I've never seen anyone so fierce when I was a bandit! Humph!"

Shen Wanqing quickly comforted him: "Brother, you promised me that you would never do such a heinous thing again."

Zhao Xiong immediately replied, "Yao'er, don't worry, I will keep my promise and never go back on it!"

Shen Wanqing nodded in satisfaction, then quickly reminded him, "By the way, brother, please don't call me Yao'er anymore. I'm called Shen Wanqing now, you can just call me Wanqing."

Zhao Xiong was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Uh, I understand!"

As Shen Wanqing and Zhao Xiong stepped into the restaurant, they saw the Seventh Princess Murong Qing and her husband Chen Shuyu, along with the Eighth Princess Murong Lin and her husband Su Jinran, sitting together, laughing and toasting. Everyone turned to look at Shen Wanqing upon seeing her.

Su Jinran stood up first, a gentle smile on her face: "Wanqing, it's been a long time!"

Shen Wanqing was slightly taken aback, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Brother Jinran~" Then she looked around and politely smiled at the others, her eyes full of friendliness.

Murong Lin also stood up, affectionately taking Su Jinran's arm. Her eyes sparkled as she smiled, "Wanqing, Jinran, my seventh sister, her husband, and I came here today especially to get together. Isn't that right? It's been a long time since we've seen each other!"

Shen Wanqing immediately broke into a warm smile and quickly went to greet them: "Yes, yes, please don't be shy. Just tell me what you'd like to eat. I'll definitely treat you all well today!"

Zhao Xiong leaned closer to Shen Wanqing with a puzzled look and asked her in a low voice, "Wanqing, who are they...?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and first pointed to the Seventh Princess Murong Qing and her husband Chen Shuyu, introducing them: "This is the Seventh Princess, who is exceptionally talented, and this is her husband Chen Shuyu."

Then, she pointed to the Eighth Princess Murong Lin and her husband Su Jinran and said, "This is the charming and lovely Eighth Princess, and this is the Eighth Prince Consort Su Jinran. I have known Jinran for a long time. He is a righteous and generous man who values ​​loyalty and righteousness. He used to take care of me like a younger sister."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiong hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Oh dear, this humble subject was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have met the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess, and the Seventh and Eighth Prince Consorts. I have offended you earlier, and I hope you will forgive me."

Su Jinran quickly helped him up, saying, "No need for formalities, please rise!" Then she asked Shen Wanqing, "Wanqing, who is this gentleman...?"

Shen Wanqing's eyes were filled with affection and joy, and her smile never stopped. She answered softly, "Brother Jinran, this is the brother I've been looking for, Zhao Xiong. He just finished his hard labor early and started doing business with me."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinran's eyes immediately filled with surprise and relief, and her smile became even wider. She said sincerely, "Wanqing, congratulations on reuniting with your brother! I am so happy! Over the years, your desire to find your family has never been abandoned. Now that your wish has finally come true, it is truly a blessed thing!"

The others nodded in agreement and smiled slightly. Then, they chatted happily, one after another.

Shen Wanqing and Zhao Xiong immediately got to work. Shen Wanqing smiled and walked with light steps, steadily holding the tray full of exquisite dishes in both hands, arranging the dishes one by one, her movements elegant and skillful.

Zhao Xiong followed closely behind, carrying several jars of fine wine. He smiled憨憨地, revealing a simple and honest expression, and quickly set out the wine glasses, filling them to the brim.

The two worked together seamlessly, one serving food and the other adding wine, always attentive to everyone's needs, their warm and thoughtful service making the atmosphere even more harmonious.

On the other side, Su Yao'er walked angrily towards the Su residence, muttering incessantly the whole way: "I'm so angry! Ugh~ That guy dared to call me a tigress, he better not fall into my hands, or he'll be in for it! Humph!"

As she approached the gate of the Su residence, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. Instantly alert, like a startled fawn, she quickly hid behind a large tree, peeking out cautiously with only her eyes showing.

Upon closer inspection, it was Su Wan'er, with a magnificent woman standing beside her. This woman wore a pale purple floor-length gown, the hem embroidered with lifelike butterflies, and the collar and cuffs trimmed with snow-white rabbit fur, the fluffy texture further accentuating her snow-white skin. She wore an exquisite hair crown inlaid with colorful gemstones, which shimmered in the sunlight.

Su Yao'er was filled with doubt, her eyes wide and her brows furrowed tightly. She wondered to herself, "Strange, who are Su Wan'er and this person? They're so close, arm in arm, chatting and laughing. What's this woman's background? When did Su Wan'er meet her?"

She hid in a corner, frowned and pondered for a moment, but ultimately couldn't figure it out and didn't want to care. She just snorted softly and then turned and went into the Su residence.
