Chapter 47: Where Did These People Come From?

Once the phone was all set up, the cousins left the shop together with a brand new phone in Su Ruan's hand.

"Sister Ruan, you're really lucky."

Su Ruan heaved a sigh. "If only I knew that they were going to give such a generous discount, I would have chosen the other model."

Ma Yu Xi paused. Then, she burst into laughter.

The cousins continued to walk on the path and finally arrived at the bakery.

Su Ruan tilted her head to look at the signboard and saw the 'Long' name written on the signboard again. This bakery should belong to the family as well.

It made her wonder just how many businesses in this town belonged to the family.

Ma Yu Xi pulled her into the bakery. The moment they entered, Su Ruan scanned the room to look for the boy that her cousin had fancied.

Seeing that Ma Yu Xi was choosing a few pastries while glancing at the man behind the glass window, Su Ruan quickly guessed that this should be the boy her grandma had mentioned.

"Is that him?" Su Ruan pointed to the person who was kneading some dough in the kitchen.

Ma Yu Xi gave a startle before she went back to choose a few loaves of bread and pastries. "Sister Ruan, I don't understand what you're talking about." She picked up a chocolate loaf in front of her and smiled. "How about this one? I think this is pretty delicious."

Su Ruan narrowed her eyes. Seeing that this cousin was not willing to speak about the person, she could only play along with her.

The two of them walked to the cashier and Su Ruan ordered two cups of coffee. "Yu Xi, let's sit around for a while. I'm a bit tired after walking around for a while."

Ma Yu Xi snapped out of her trance and turned to Su Ruan with her eyes widened. "That's right. My dad mentioned that you hurt your ankle. Don't tell me that it's hurting again?"

"My ankle is fine," Su Ruan said quickly to stop her cousin from worrying. "Just that, the weather is good. I'm thinking about enjoying a cup of coffee with the lake view."

Ma Yu Xi pondered about this idea and quickly agreed. Anyway, she could use this chance to look at the person she liked.

The two of them chose a seat close to the lake and sat down.

Su Ruan watched the scenery in front of her and finally, her gaze stopped at her cousin again.

The bakery had glass walls all around, making it easier for her to peek at the boy again.

"Alright. Are you not going to tell me about this boy? For example, what is his name?"

Hearing her question, Ma Yu Xi quickly tore her gaze away. She hesitated, wanting to continue and play dumb. But in the end, Ma Yu Xi heaved a sigh and looked at Su Ruan warningly. "Sister Ruan, you mustn't tell anyone about this."

Su Ruan nodded and make a zipping motion to her lips.

"He's Sun Cheng. A senior from high school," Ma Yu Xi said. "I liked him for a few years already."

"Then, why didn't you tell him?"

Ma Yu Xi heaved a sigh. "No. I don't think I would be prepared to be rejected. It's best if I could look at him secretly like this."

Su Ruan raised a brow. She wanted to say something as encouragement but decided against it as she saw the look on Ma Yu Xi's face.

It seemed that there were stories behind it?

The cousins continued to drink their coffee in silence.

Su Ruan was looking at the lake view when she noticed that a shadow was looming over. She looked up and was surprised to see that Long Fei was standing in front of her.

At the side, Ma Yu Xi let out a loud gasp.

Suddenly, her surroundings became a little noisier.

It was rare for Long Fei to come out from the residence and take a walk around the town center. Now that he had suddenly appeared, the townspeople were very surprised. They could not stop wondering whether their eyes were playing tricks on them.

A lot of them wanted to get close to him but none of them dared to step closer. They were afraid of offending him.

"Miss Su, hello." Long Fei smiled as he greeted her. He lowered his gaze until it reached her ankle. "How is your ankle? I hope you are feeling better today."

Ma Yu Xi stared at the man in shock. This was the first time that she had seen Young Master Long in this close distance. The man's presence alone had stunned her.

"I'm fine. Thank you Mr. Long for your concern." Su Ruan flashed him a smile. Suddenly, she had this feeling as if everyone around her was looking her way. It made her a little uncomfortable.

Of course, Su Ruan was not aware that there were a few jealous eyes on her.

The moment Long Fei came to talk to Su Ruan, she had become the envy of other girls.

Ma Yu Xi finally snapped out of her trance. She looked at Long Fei with the same dazed look on her face while poking Su Ruan with her elbow.

Long Fei naturally noticed her small movement. He turned to Ma Yu Xi and flashed an amiable smile. "Hello. I heard that Miss Su is coming to this town to visit her family. You must be her relatives, then."

Ma Yu Xi nodded. Her face turned a little red as the handsome man was speaking to her. "H-hello." She began to stutter. "I'm Su Ruan's cousin. Ma Yu Xi."

Long Fei touched his chin as if he was thinking of something. "Are you Mr. Ma Xin Yu's daughter?"

"That's right." Her body turned cold with excitement. This was the first time she came this close to this young master. Ma Yu Xi thought that she would only be allowed to look at him. Who would have thought that this man would talk to her?

She had even told him her name!

Ma Yu Xi was going crazy at this thought.

"Miss Su, Miss Ma, do you mind if I joine your table?" Long Fei asked. "I was planning to sit around for a cup of coffee but this place is already full. Miss Su, you're the only person I know around this place."

Su Ruan frowned. She seemed to remember that there were a few empty seats available. However, when she turned around, Su Ruan realized that those seats were all occupied.

Where did these people come from?

"It would only take a while," Long Fei tried to convince them. "I will leave once my cousin showed up."

"Young Master Long, please, have a seat," Ma Yu Xi spoke quickly.
