Chapter 106: Support Her Family's Business

In the end, Su Ruan had to listen to Ma Wei's suggestion and stay at the booth to promote their products. Just as he had expected, most of the people who visited the Ma's Orchard's booth came to look at Su Ruan.

The men saw an unfamiliar girl selling cherries. Seeing that she was pretty, they came over, hoping to get to know her. They had thought that they might be able to get her number after buying a few products, but Su Ruan only laughed it off when they asked for her number.

The elders have heard that Ma Hao Dong's granddaughter had returned to the town and stopped by to look at her. Seeing that she was polite and well-behaved, some of them wanted to match her with someone in their family.

In the end, Su Ruan had to tell them that she already had a boyfriend.

Just like that, Su Ruan had become a small celebrity on the day.

Ma Yu Xi watched as another young man left the booth with a disappointed look on his face before she walked over to her cousin, "Sister Ruan, I told you that you are going to be popular today. Look at the number of people who stopped by our booth."

"You're talking nonsense. Everyone stopped by to buy our product. It was not for me."

Ma Yu Xi heaved a long sigh. "You didn't know this but previously, our booth was not as popular as today. I'm telling you that the people came to see you. I think the sale this year would definitely top the previous year."

Su Ruan could only shake her head and laughed it off. 

"Sister Ruan…" Ma Yu Xi looked around sneakily and whispered, "When are you going to meet up with that young master. My brother asked you to look after this booth. Would you still have time to walk around with him?"

"We already decided to meet up in the evening," Su Ruan said. "I heard that the carnival will reach its peak when the sky turned dark."

"That's true." Ma Yu Xi nodded. Her eyes twinkled as she was looking forward to the fun activities at night. "There will be fireworks and I heard that the Old Master of the Long family will come over to give his speech."

Su Ruan was suddenly curious about Long Fei's grandfather. "Besides, he is too high profile. It would be troublesome if we walked together in the town center during the day."

Ma Yu XI frowned. "Why does it sound as if you were having an underground relationship? Could it be that he is not willing to take you out to the public?"

Young Master Long Fei is someone with high status. Hearing that the man wanted to hide from the crowd, Ma Yu Xi's mind started to go wild. A lot of possibilities suddenly appeared in her mind.

Su Ruan rolled her eyes. "You're watching too much drama."

"Who's having an underground relationship?"

The voice came over suddenly, scaring the two girls. Turning around, they found that Ma Wei walked over with another staff behind him. The two of them were carrying a box on their shoulders.

"Nothing." Su Ruan flashed a smile. "We were discussing that recent drama."

Ma Wei is not someone who had an interest in drama. Just like that, the subject was dropped off. He put the box on the shelf behind them and looked at the two girls.

"If you run out of those jams, then, you should take it from here." Ma Wei patted at the box. He gave them a few more instructions before he walked away to do his job.

Ma Yu Xi watched as his brother walked away and patted her chest. "This person. He really liked to walk around like a thief." 

"Alright, let's stop talking." Su Ruan pointed to the incoming customer. "Someone is here."

Ma Yu Xi looked up and was surprised to see her classmate, Chu Jin. "Chu Jin, why are you here?"

A look of displeasure appeared on his face. "Aren't you here to sell cherries? What do you think I'm here for?" He turned to Su Ruan and nodded as a greeting. 

The last time, Su Ruan had followed Ma Yu Xi to the town center to get a replacement of her phone after she had fallen into the lake. At that time, it was Chu Jin who had attended her. Naturally, Su Ruan could still remember that Ma Yu Xi had introduced Chu Jin as her classmate.

Chu Jin looked at the products on the table and pointed at a few items. Then, he looked at Ma Yu Xi again. "Just these. Help me to pack it up."

Ma Yu Xi grabbed the paper bag and placed the items into it. "You're buying a lot. Are you sure that you can finish them all?"

"You don't need to worry about this." Chu Jin narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ma Yu Xi. He came over to support her family's business but this girl was asking him too many questions.

As if sensing that someone was looking at him, Chu Jin turned and his gaze met with Su Ruan's. A faint blush appeared on his face. Chu Jin could not help but feel as if Ma Yu Xi's cousin could understand his thought at this moment.

Chu Jin let out a cough and took out some money to pay for his stuff.

"Since you're buying a lot, then I will throw you an extra gift," Ma Yu Xi said.

"What is it?"

"Cherry oatmeal cookies." Ma Yu Xi smiled. "I made it with myself."

Chu Jin stared at the small packet of cookies and raised a brow. "I wouldn't get diarrhea after eating these cookies, right?"

His words made Ma Yu Xi furious. "Chu Jin, just give it back if you didn't want it."

The man took a step back and successfully avoided Ma Yu Xi from snatching the cookies. He raised both hands and smiled. "I'm joking. Ma Yu Xi, thank you for your cookies."

"This person only knows how to make me furious," Ma Yu Xi grumbled as she watched the man leave.

Su Ruan stood at the side and tapped her fingers on her chin. She has been staring at Ma Yu Xi and Chu Jin's interaction from the first time she entered the phone shop. Her instinct was telling her that something was going on between them.

Before she could think much about this matter, a little commotion on the street snapped her out of her trance. 

Su Ruan lifted her head up and saw the figure of a few familiar faces walking along the street.
