Chapter 1109

The gesture seemed too perfect. Zhu Yanyi felt she had seen this somewhere before, but she didn’t think much of it at that moment. She simply handed ten gold coins to the shopkeeper. The man took out a small box, placed the brooch inside, and handed it to Zhu Yanyi.

“Welcome back anytime,” he said.

Zhu Yanyi turned and walked out of the shop. Suddenly, a thought struck her. She was certain she had seen this person before. Her mind raced through her memories. Her eyes lit up. Yes! In Modu, he was Silver Fox.

She turned around and looked at him by the door. Silver Fox didn’t move. He just raised an eyebrow slightly, as if not surprised at all that Zhu Yanyi had remembered him.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. She didn’t say a word. She just walked toward Dong Bo Cao and the others.

“Did Zhu Yanyi really recognize you?” Old Ma asked curiously from behind.

“She did,” Silver Fox smiled faintly. He hadn’t expected her to remember him after just one meeting.

“Recognized?” Old Ma looked skeptical. “If she recognized you, why didn’t she get angry with you?”

“Why should she get angry?” Silver Fox smiled again. His aura became even more gentle. “If she got angry, she would be at a disadvantage.” He glanced at Zhu Yanyi, who was chatting happily with Dong Bo Cao, then walked back into his shop. “She’s quite good. Zhu Yanyi is truly Zhu Yanyi. No wonder Hua Tianyao has so much confidence in her. She is her disciple.”

“Boss, I still don’t understand what you mean,” Old Ma said. “She recognized you, didn’t make a scene, and you admire her? I really don’t get how people like you think. Clearly, we are from different worlds.”

Silver Fox smiled. “Why make a scene? She understands better than anyone that causing trouble is not a good thing. This is a country. I have a shop here, which means I have power. This is not Huaxia. She cannot cause trouble for me due to personal grudges. So, she won’t make a scene.”

A fox-like smile appeared on Silver Fox’s face. “But I am very curious. What kind of person could make her lose her calmness?”

“Boss, I don’t understand what you’re saying, but I know one thing,” Old Ma chuckled. “This little girl is only fifteen. She doesn’t understand emotional issues at all. That’s why Ling was at a loss in the middle school.”

The corner of Silver Fox’s mouth turned up slightly. “If Ling could succeed just like that, then Zhu Yanyi wouldn’t be worth my attention.”

“Didn’t you send Ling there?” Old Ma really didn’t understand his boss’s thinking. He had sent the person, so why did he hope the mission would fail now?

Silver Fox sat on the sofa inside and took a sip of his coffee. “Old Ma, there are some things you won’t understand. Zhu Yanyi is no ordinary person. As Hua Tianyao’s disciple, her status is already decided. Her heart must be very hard, especially regarding emotions. She cannot be biased.”

She didn’t say that such people are very persistent in love. Either they love for a lifetime, or they don’t love at all, only loving themselves. She was one of those people.

“Boss, I still don’t quite get it, but since you say so, you must have your reasons,” Old Ma said. He really didn’t understand, but it didn’t matter. He didn’t need to pretend. After all, smart people like Silver Fox were rare. Most people, like him, were on the simpler side.
