It's been three days since everything that had happened. Although Square Street was the most crowded place in Wuyuan Ancient City since most of the items, especially handmade, were sold here, but it was never this busy. In the last two or three days, the number of customers who come to buy handmade items from Xian Guiying's shop had increased significantly.
Typically, no matter how much she sold, she only earned 3000 yuan per day and during the tourism peak season, she managed to earn a maximum of 5000 yuan.
However, in the last few days, there were always customers rushing in and out of the door every day. The most important thing was that almost everyone who came here bought in huge piles.
It's so weird …
It's like someone had done it on purpose.
What did this mean?
Xian Guiying asked her customers several times and they just said they heard from the tour guide that there's a nice shop that sold good quality handmade items across this Square Street.
Xian Guiying was even more curious now.

Even though Wei Shanyuan came to Wuyuan to travel with his colleagues, he always left the main group and went to visit Xian Guiying.
Since Qin Wenqian liked to tell stories and play with him, sometimes Xian Guiying would ask him to pick up the child from the kindergarten.
In the afternoon, Wei Shanyuan went to pick up Qin Wenqian from the kindergarten and instead of sending her back home, he took her to Square Street.
"Mommy ~"
Xian Guiying was busy serving her customers when Qin Wenqian's voice was suddenly heard from outside the door.
She turned around and immediately saw Wei Shanyuan holding Qin Wenqian's hand. "What are you doing here?"
"After having dinner at your house for free for a few days, I decided to come to help you." Wei Shanyuan led Qin Wenqian with a smile. At the same time, at a handmade silver jewelry shop across from Xian Guiying's, there was a young girl in her twenties, looking at him with shining eyes.
Wei Shanyuan used to come here recently and the girl had been staring at him for a few days.
Xian Guiying snickered when she saw the girl look at them from a distance. She immediately pulled her daughter to the shop. When Wei Shanyuan was about to enter the shop, he felt eyes on him, but he shrugged it off.
"I have no change here. Go to the silver jewelry shop on the other side and help me change this money." As Xian Guiying spoke, she handed three hundred yuan to him.
Wei Shanyuan's mouth twitched. He felt something was wrong with Xian Guiyingi's expression, but he couldn't say what was wrong. He could only accept money and like an obedient temporary worker, he went to the silver jewelry shop across from them.
"Mommy ~" Qin Wenqian licked the ice cream in her hand, tilted her head, and looked across the street before she raised her head and said, "I think I saw someone."
Xian Guiying's teasing smile froze slightly as she looked at her daughter next to her legs.
Qin Wenqian blinked her big eyes and said, "Did I see things, mommy? These few days, I feel like someone was watching me while I was in kindergarten." Qin Wenqian continued to lick her ice cream. "Also, when I ate with my friends, my food was different from the other kids. There were also a lot of jellies, and the teacher said that mommy bought them. Mommy, is it true?"
Xian Guiying didn't know why her daughter would ask these two questions together, but she knew that her daughter was very smart. It was unknown whether Qin Wenqian inherited Qin Gengxin's brain or hers.
Qin Wenqian raised her head and looked at the silent Xian Guiying. She bit into the almost melting ice, and without asking any more questions, she carried her little cartoon bag on her back and headed straight into the storeroom. She took a small stool from the store and sat on it.
"Qianqian." Xian Guiying looked at her daughter, who was sitting on the small stool, eating ice cream before saying, "Remember to turn down all the snacks the teacher will give you in the future, ok?"
Qin Wenqian finished the ice cream in her hand before picking up the cartoon bag. She opened the zip and grabbed some unopened snack bags, including jelly, shrimp sticks, and many other things kids love to eat at this point.
Xian Guiying walked over and saw her daughter put snacks on the table. Her eyes showed that she seemed to want to eat them, but she resisted the urge, placed snacks properly, and obediently closed her school bag.
"Mommy, the teacher gave me snacks today. If you don't buy them for Qianqian, then I won't eat it." Qin Wenqian was an honest child.
At this point, Xian Guiying thought that she was overreacting. She didn't intentionally instigate her daughter's hatred or distance towards that person. She was just a little sensitive when it came to her daughter.
"What mommy means is, if this snack didn't come from mommy, and if a stranger gave you a snack, you can't eat it, alright?" Not wanting to see her daughter become paranoid like herself, Xian Guiying stressed out her points.
Qin Wenqian only nodded once and didn't say anything else. She suddenly stood up and tilted her head as she looked outside the shop. Then, she pointed to a yogurt shop not far away and said, "Mommy, I want yogurt."
The shop was not far. Every time her daughter came to the shop, Xian Guiying would buy a cup of yogurt with mango filling.
Xian Guiying smiled and said, "Then go to the yogurt shop. Tell the auntie to make your usual drink and tell her that I will send the money tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl standing in front of the door looked around before running out like a puff of smoke.
At this time, Wei Shanyuan returned with a change. Xian Guiying looked at him. Immediately, Wei Shanyuan glanced at her with a neutral expression. "Go get changed for your money, huh? What a lousy reason."
Xian Guiying laughed. "How is it? The little sister is not bad, right? I have seen her watching you for a few days now, probably because she is fascinated by the gentle appearance of Young Master Wei. Anyway, you're still single now, so why don't you consider it."
Wei Shanyuan scoffed, then handed the change to her. "You should think of yourself first."
Xian Guiying pursed her lip.

Over the weekend, Wei Zhengsheng arrived as promised. When he got off the plane, he immediately took a bus to the Wuyuan Ancient City. Since it was the weekend and the kindergarten was on holiday, Wei Shanyuan insisted on taking care of Xian Guiying's shop and let her bring Qin Wenqian to pick up Wei Zhengsheng.
So when Wei Zhengsheng's bus arrived at Wuyuan City, the first thing he saw was Xian Guiying, who was wearing a simple white cotton dress and her curly hair was straightened. She looked very clean and if it weren't for the cute girl holding hands with her, people would have mistaken her as an eighteen-year-old girl.
Wei Zhengsheng hadn't seen Xian Guiying in a year. Xian Guiying, who was a business elite in Boston for many years, had changed into a pure and modest person after only living a year in Wuyuan.
He had never seen her like this before. Even though they had known each other for more than ten years, she was still at the peak of that time.
"Mommy, when will Uncle Wei arrive?" Qin Wenqian wore the same cute white princess dress as Xian Guiying. She stood next to her mother's legs and kept looking into the distance.
Xian Guiying looked at the bus parked not far away. Wei Zhengsheng immediately walked out as soon as the door opened. Looking at him, Xian Guiying suddenly remembered Wei Shanyuan's words.
'Why do you think he's never married even though he's already reached thirty?'
'Over the years, which woman did you see him with?'
'Let him do the only thing he can do."
'Protect you and your daughter.'
"What are you daydreaming about?" A hand suddenly appeared in front of her face and waved slowly.
