Chapter 506 - 505: He Wanru Asks About Baonu Tea Again

Staring at the uniquely colored Wangyou Milk Tea in front of her, He Wanru was hesitant to take the first sip.

’Can you really drink this 88 yuan milk tea?’

If Qin Sitong knew what He Wanru was thinking, she would have told her: yes, you can. In fact, because the price was so high, they used only genuine, high-quality ingredients, which was far safer, healthier, and more hygienic than the artificial creamer and flavorings used by other milk tea shops.

But Qin Sitong had no intention of forcing He Wanru to drink it. She had placed an order, and Qin Sitong had made the Wangyou Milk Tea accordingly. As far as she was concerned, the transaction was complete.

Whatever happened next had nothing to do with Qin Sitong.

He Wanru finally mustered the courage to take a sip, but she never expected that one mouthful would hold such a wonderful surprise.

She swallowed the Wangyou Milk Tea, then looked up at Qin Sitong. "What’s the principle behind this?"

He Wanru found it incredible, unscientific even, that a single cup of milk tea could have such a magical effect.

But the proof was in her own experience, and even if He Wanru wanted to deny it, she couldn’t.

"Ma’am, I’d love to tell you the principle behind it, but it’s a trade secret. I’m sorry, but I can’t say."

However, even Qin Sitong herself didn’t know the principle behind the Wangyou Milk Tea.

After all, she simply followed the steps Yun Zijin had given her, perfectly replicating the process to make it.

The procedure wasn’t much different from making any other milk tea, but the result was a drink that could evoke one’s most beautiful memories. If you asked about the principle, the only answer was, "I don’t know."

Having drunk the Wangyou Milk Tea, He Wanru could no longer bring herself to glare at Qin Sitong. After taking two more sips, she spoke again.

"That tea I mentioned last time, the one that makes people slim down—when will it be available again?"

He Wanru had returned to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop today mainly for the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea.

The Wangyou Milk Tea had just been an unexpected bonus.

Hearing He Wanru bring up the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea again, Qin Sitong raised an eyebrow slightly. "That... My friend is the one who supplies the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea. I’m not sure when it will be back in stock."

In reality, Qin Sitong already knew from Yun Zijin that they had a new supply of the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea Raw Materials.

However, Qin Sitong didn’t want He Wanru to get it too easily. Otherwise, if she came back next time and Qin Sitong refused her, she might go around calling her stingy behind her back.

Hearing Qin Sitong’s words, He Wanru frowned slightly. "Then can you ask for me when it will be in stock? Money is no object."

As the matriarch of the Fu Family, He Wanru certainly had that kind of money to spare.

"It’s not a matter of money. My friend isn’t short on cash. The problem is that the raw materials are produced in very small quantities, so it’s hard to say when they’ll be available."

Qin Sitong did her best to placate He Wanru.

When He Wanru heard that Qin Sitong’s friend wasn’t short on money, her frown deepened.

"Just tell me how much it would cost for your friend to supply me exclusively."

He Wanru clearly didn’t want to wait. Now that she had seen a glimmer of hope for slimming down, she couldn’t stand to wait a single moment longer.

"I’m sorry, but my friend is a bit eccentric. She’s always the one who contacts me; I have no way of reaching her."

Until Yun Zijin decided to release the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea, Qin Sitong wouldn’t budge—not even for her boyfriend’s mother.

Seeing Qin Sitong so obstinate, He Wanru’s expression fell.

"If you still want to marry into my Fu Family, you’d better be more proactive about asking your friend when she can supply me."

He Wanru was getting desperate, even resorting to using the prospect of marriage to threaten Qin Sitong.

Qin Sitong remained expressionless. "I’m sorry. Even if you made me break up with Fu Ze, my answer would be the same."

Between her boyfriend and her best friend, Qin Sitong’s choice had never wavered.

Boyfriends could be replaced, but she only had one true best friend.

"You... You’re impossible!"

Unable to get the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea from Qin Sitong through a back-door deal, He Wanru fell silent.

Qin Sitong gave He Wanru a slight bow and then returned to the prep area.

She couldn’t neglect the other customers at the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop just to serve He Wanru alone.

However, once she was back in the prep area, Qin Sitong took out her phone and sent a message to Fu Ze, telling him that He Wanru had come to the shop and giving him a rough summary of what had happened.

She didn’t want Fu Ze to hear about this from someone else later and cause an unnecessary misunderstanding. That wasn’t what Qin Sitong wanted at all.

He Wanru sat in her seat, feeling more and more disgruntled the more she thought about what Qin Sitong had said. But after taking another sip of her Wangyou Milk Tea, her anger miraculously subsided.

When she finally left, there was even a slight smile on her face.

After finishing a document, Fu Ze saw a new message notification on his phone. He opened it, and the contents of Qin Sitong’s message made him jolt.

He’d never imagined his mother would personally go to the shop to ask Qin Sitong for the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea.

Most importantly, Qin Sitong didn’t even have any in stock. He couldn’t imagine what kind of expression his mother had on her face when she left.

Without thinking any more about it, Fu Ze immediately called Qin Sitong.

Fu Ze’s call came after He Wanru had left. When Qin Sitong saw the incoming call, she paused for a moment before swiping to answer.

"Tongtong, are you okay? My mom didn’t give you a hard time, did she?"

Fu Ze really hadn’t expected his mom to pick this particular time to go see Qin Sitong.

He was at the office; he couldn’t just drop everything to go and comfort her.

"I’m fine. Your mom just asked about the Baonu Tea. Then she ordered a Wangyou Milk Tea, drank it, and left."

Qin Sitong told him the truth. Although He Wanru didn’t want her as a daughter-in-law, she hadn’t really given her a hard time.

Hearing Qin Sitong’s words, Fu Ze finally breathed a small sigh of relief. "If my mom comes looking for you again, you have to tell me."

Fu Ze was afraid He Wanru would find Qin Sitong and give her trouble without him knowing.

’But from the sound of it, the two of them seem to be getting along okay?’

Fu Ze even started to suspect that his mom might, in the end, package him up and gift him to Qin Sitong just to get her hands on the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea.

Considering He Wanru’s usual way of doing things, Fu Ze found it hard not to think that way.

If Qin Sitong knew what Fu Ze was thinking, she would have scoffed and told him it was impossible.

He Wanru wanting to slim down was one thing, but wanting her son to get married was another matter entirely.

No mother would trade her son’s happiness for her own selfish desires.

"I know. Isn’t that why I messaged you today? So you wouldn’t hear about it from someone else."

Sometimes, preconceived notions can be a scary thing.

The two of them chatted about this and that for a little longer before Qin Sitong hung up. She still had things to do at the shop.

On the other end of the line, Fu Ze wore a helpless expression as he listened to the dial tone.
