"Sis, take a break. There's hardly anyone left, I can handle it myself." Ren Yuanhao said, a hint of worry in his voice as he gently pushed Wang Xin back into her seat.
Wang Xin smiled, "I didn't expect your skills to be so good. If this keeps up, we'll finish early."
They exchanged a smile. As the crowds thinned, their workload finally eased.
"By the way, didn't you want to try the ice cream?" Ren Yuanhao asked mysteriously, holding his hands behind his back.
"Stop hiding it, I saw it long ago. Honestly, I don't dare to try it again. I was prepared to welcome death, but now I'm increasingly afraid. Even with a one-in-ten-thousand chance, I want to live."
'Ren Yuanhao, you are the reason I want to fight to live, unfortunately, you don't know it.'
Wang Xin fell into a brief reverie. Suddenly, an ice cream shaped like a white rose appeared before her eyes!
"Wow, it's so pretty, but~"
"This isn't real ice cream, I promise you'll be fine after eating it, trust me."
Ren Yuanhao's eyes seemed to hold a flame, and as long as she gazed into that flame, Wang Xin was willing to become the moth.
She happily accepted the ice cream she had been dreaming of, without the slightest hesitation. Closing her eyes halfway, she bit down with her pearly white teeth. A strange rose-like fragrance shot straight into her throat. Immediately, tiny particles danced on her tongue, while another part, like a milkshake, slid down her throat!
"It's so delicious! What did you put in this? It feels so cold, but I'm fine after eating it!" Wang Xin could hardly believe it. After taking several bites, she discovered that the inner and outer layers had completely different tastes, with sweet and sour flavors exploding on her taste buds!
Ren Yuanhao chuckled, "I used mint instead of ice. It just stimulates the oral mucosa to create a cooling effect. The rest is just cream, so you're fine after eating it."
As they were enjoying their brief moment of joy, two men suddenly emerged from the shade and walked directly towards the ice cream cart.
"Hey, isn't the boss here?" one of them asked, as if he were a regular customer. He looked around and then spoke.
"Yes, he was held up by something," Wang Xin replied with a smile, enjoying her temporary role as an 'ice cream vendor.'
"Can you two handle it then?"
Wang Xin nodded, "Yes, we can. What flavors would you like?"
"Strawberry, ten. Chocolate, ten. Lemon, ten. Deliver them to the seventh-floor office in the building opposite."
Ren Yuanhao frowned slightly. "Excuse me, young man, we don't do deliveries."
"No deliveries? Are you expecting me to wait here? Don't you know how hot it is?" The other man, wearing thick-rimmed glasses and looking refined, spoke with an irascible tone.
"I'm sorry, but then I can't do business with you. My apologies."
Ren Yuanhao wasn't intentionally trying to cause trouble, but he was worried about leaving Wang Xin alone, which he felt was unsafe.
"Damn it, we're regular customers of this shop, a stable income. If the boss comes back and finds out you two offended regular customers, then perhaps..." the bespectacled man said, his eyes fixed on Wang Xin without blinking.
Ren Yuanhao was about to lose his temper, but Wang Xin gently stopped him.
"Gentlemen, I apologize, please wait a moment, we'll deliver them to you shortly."
"That's more like it. Hurry up, don't be late." The man with glasses, with his arm around the other man's shoulder, started to leave. He suddenly turned his head back and added, "Oh, and let this young lady deliver them. That brat's temper is too much of a mood killer."
'Damn it! Mood killer! My temper!'
Ren Yuanhao felt a surge of unprovoked anger, but Wang Xin tugged at his sleeve and nodded at the two men. Only then did they leave satisfied.
"Sis, why endure such humiliation?" Ren Yuanhao asked, puzzled.
"It's experiencing life. In the past, I was always referred to as the 'Heiress of Wang Corporation.' Honestly, I was quite insecure. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything without that title~"
Wang Xin lowered her head, then suddenly looked up with a smile, "Don't dawdle, let's get back to work."
"Alright, I can't argue with you anyway."
Ren Yuanhao tied his apron back on. With the master's buff, thirty ice creams were ready in just ten minutes.
Meanwhile, Wang Xin busied herself with packaging, full of energy.
"Hey, sis, are you sure you don't want me to go with you?"
If it were just three days ago, he wouldn't have been worried at all. But after learning that she suffered from the affliction of the cold pulse invading her body, his state of mind had completely changed.
"No need. Look at that building, how could anything happen to me?"
Ren Yuanhao followed Wang Xin's gaze and saw a row of golden characters emblazoned across the sky, reading 'Wang Corporation Branch.'
"So this is also one of your family's businesses. Then there's no problem."
Ren Yuanhao watched as Wang Xin left the ice cream cart, entered the elevator, and slowly disappeared from his sight.
Wang Xin arrived on the seventh floor, panting slightly as she carried the ice creams to the designated office door.
The door was closed, and some employees were napping at their desks. She gently knocked on the door, and the man with glasses opened it immediately.
"Yo, sis, you're really fast."
Wang Xin merely smiled, not looking up, and began handing the three different flavors of ice cream to the man with glasses one by one.
"Sis, what's your relationship with the ice cream boss?" the man with glasses began to flirt.
"No particular relationship, I'm just helping him look after the shop." Wang Xin looked up and noticed that the office was completely empty, which made her feel puzzled. "Uh, right, so many ice creams, are you going to eat them all by yourself?"
The man with glasses let out a cold chuckle. He then closed the door with a flip of his wrist, blocking it with his body, and looked at Wang Xin with a sly expression.
"As they say, the intention is not in the wine~"
"What do you mean?" Wang Xin sensed an ominous premonition from his gaze!
"Hey, hey, hey, sis, was that man just now your boyfriend?" The man with glasses put down the ice cream and pressed towards Wang Xin like a hungry wolf.
Wang Xin had no choice but to slowly back away, understanding now what this man intended to do!
To intimidate the man with glasses, Wang Xin had to lie, "Yes, I told him that if I don't come down in five minutes, he'll come looking for me."
"Trying to scare me?" The man with glasses suddenly grabbed Wang Xin's shoulders, like a ferocious black bear, and leaned his head towards her fair neck.
Wang Xin, subjected to the sudden invasion, was about to cry out when she felt a strange fragrance enter her nostrils. The scenery before her eyes rippled like water, becoming increasingly blurry. She felt her body go limp uncontrollably into the man with glasses' arms.
"Good girl, this body scent is simply exquisite. Could it be that you're still a virgin?" The man with glasses' eyes turned bloodshot with excitement.
