Chapter 376: 362 Min Family’s Investment (2)

"No need to trouble yourself," Yan Yueqing said. "Let’s sit here for a while, Brother Lin, you go ahead with your tasks."

"Alright, there’s still some equipment to be moved downstairs, so I’ll go down first. Just call me if you need anything, I can hear you."

"Sure."

Everything in the coffee shop was new, and Yin Risheng’s gaze lingered on a courier package next to the counter: "There are a few boxes of coffee beans that were shipped over. Brother Lin can’t read English, so he probably doesn’t know what’s inside?"

Yan Yueqing grew interested: "Xiao Jiu is handling these matters, and I didn’t expect him to do such a thorough job, even carefully selecting and shipping the coffee beans? Brother Lin is very honest; if he doesn’t understand something, he won’t dare to open it, probably thinking it’s important documents for the coffee shop."

As she spoke, she took a small knife from the counter and opened the package.

Inside were six large glass jars, sealed very well, with full and glossy coffee beans that looked quite delightful.

Upon opening one jar, a rich aroma of cocoa flooded the air.

"It’s Hawaiian Kona coffee," Yin Risheng said.

Min Zixian suddenly remembered something and clapped her hands, "That’s right, Sister Yueqing, Risheng owns a chain of coffee shops. He knows a lot about these things."

When his girlfriend praised him in this manner, Yin Risheng couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.

Although he was in a good mood, he spoke modestly, "I know a little, that’s all. Kona coffee beans are said to be the most beautiful coffee beans in the world; they have full fruit, a bright luster, and a smooth, creamy palate."

Ji Nuannuan listened intently: "I rarely drink coffee, what does this kind taste like?"

Yin Risheng explained: "If you’re just starting to drink coffee, the taste of this kind might be a bit uncomfortable for you. It starts off quite acidic, then turns sweet, making for a very unique flavor."

"Starts sour then turns sweet? I’m quite eager to try it," Ji Nuannuan praised. "Big Brother Yin, you’re really knowledgeable."

"You just happened to ask a question I knew the answer to, it’s mere coincidence."

Yin Risheng’s humble demeanor, akin to that of a well-cultivated noble, greatly endeared him to others.

Speaking of which, ever since Yueqing came back, she found that the spouses her female friends knew were generally subpar.

For instance, Sister Mansheng’s husband, Song Qinglong, and the girl sponsored by grandfather, Yang Mei – her boyfriend was also no good.

Yueqing even wondered if these perfect men had all graduated from the same PUA class; why were they all so beyond words?

Fortunately, the one Zixian found, Yin Risheng... as far as she could tell for now, he seemed not bad.

Yin Risheng glanced over the equipment on the counter: "The equipment here is very complete. May I have the honor of personally brewing Kona coffee for everyone?"

Yan Yueqing nodded: "We appreciate the trouble, Mr. Yin."

Jun Lii volunteered, rolling up his sleeves, "I’ll help out. Why don’t you guys go sit in the garden for a bit?"

"Sure."

The three girls, accompanied by two babies, went to the front yard, leaving the two men in the coffee shop to tinker with the machines.

Finding a spot by the window, they all sat down.

Min Zixian lowered her voice: "Sister Yueqing, you are really something."

"Huh?"

The sudden compliment left Yan Yueqing a bit stunned, "What’s going on?"

"That big block of ice." Min Zixian pointed towards Jun Lii inside the room, "Only you can tame him!"

She didn’t say any more, worried she might be overheard and hold a grudge!

Yan Yueqing couldn’t help but laugh, "He’s actually... quite gentle, you’ve misunderstood him a little."

"Not at all." Min Zixian waved her hand, wishing she could keep a galaxy’s distance from Jun Lii, "It’s great that you can come back and deal with him! A person like him... tsk..."

Jun Yan hadn’t been overly fond of Min Zixian due to her excessive enthusiasm, but at this moment, the two stood on the same side.

The little guy nodded in rare approval, "I think Aunt Min is spot on."

His dad... that kind of person...

Tsk...

Yan Yueqing smiled, finding them quite interesting.

But, as for her and Jun Lii’s situation, even she hadn’t figured it out fully yet, so there was no need to bring it up for discussion.

Yan Yueqing was concerned about another matter, "By the way, what’s the deal with you and Mr. Yin? It hasn’t been long, and suddenly you introduce a boyfriend, giving me quite a shock."

Min Zixian’s face flushed instantly, "It’s... not that fast... actually... he’s been pursuing me for a year or two."

"A year or two?"

"Yeah." Min Zixian took a deep breath and slowly explained, "A few years ago, my parents were pressuring me to get married, and in a fit of anger, I left the Min Family and went abroad to unwind. That’s when I met him in a coffee shop."

Abroad, a coffee shop...

It sounded like quite a story.

Yan Yueqing’s eyes sparkled with the thrill of gossip, "And then?"

"Back then, he’d just been in business for a few years and was doing well overseas. That coffee shop was one of his businesses, which he planned to expand and promote... but... for my sake... he transferred all his businesses back to the country over the past two years..."

"Ah?" Yan Yueqing laughed, "That’s really nice, isn’t it?"

Min Zixian was sweetly troubled, "Yeah, when he was pursuing me, I was really bothered and outright rejected him because I didn’t want a long-distance relationship. I didn’t expect that, two months later, he called me, saying after serious consideration, he decided to transfer his business back to our country and asked which city I would mostly stay in, and he would arrange it as soon as possible."

"I thought he was joking, so I casually mentioned the Magic Capital, and who knew he’d actually start preparing to return home? This man... although he is so serious in his work, he is so stubborn about this... "

"Sigh, when he opened the first coffee shop in the Magic Capital and invited me over, I was astounded! I didn’t think there would really be someone willing to go through so much trouble and expense, to leap from their comfortable circle into another strange place for me..."

"I... I was moved by him, but the disparity between his family and mine is still quite large... my parents would never agree to me marrying a guy who has just started a business, their hearts are set on—"

The words ’marrying into the Jun Residence’ were something Min Zixian didn’t want to dwell on, so she coughed lightly, "So, I earnestly talked to him, told him about the fiancé my family arranged for me, and that even if he came to the Magic Capital, a future together would be difficult... I advised him to go back and develop his career... I thought to myself, if worse comes to worst, I could find someone to buy his Magic Capital shop at a high price, so he wouldn’t lose too much on this account..."

"And then..."

Min Zixian’s lips curved up slightly, a gleam in her eyes, "He said that his decision to return was made carefully, and it wasn’t for the purpose of being with me, but to pursue me.

He also said that he is an adult; the decisions he makes are not impulsive! Since it’s a pursuit, there may not be a good result, but he’s willing to take that risk and doesn’t want me to feel burdened... If possible, he hoped I would take some time to get to know him and to test his character..."
