Chapter 137: If You Can’t Control Your Own House, How Can You Control the World? (1/2)

After following Xiang Long through the steps, Xiang Xin skipped to the front and said cheerfully to a dazed Shen Cheng, “Master, I’m here to practice martial arts with you!”

“Uh…” Shen Cheng snapped back to reality, suddenly remembering that he had promised Xiang Long to teach Xiang Xin martial arts every weekend.

“Boss,” Xiang Long scratched his shiny bald head, slightly embarrassed, “You just got back, and now we’re bothering you again.”

Shen Cheng smiled and waved it off, saying, “It’s nothing, after all, I promised Little Xin.”

“Master, can we start now?” Hearing this, Xiang Xin’s eyes lit up with excitement as she asked Shen Cheng.

“Hmm…” Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment, looking at the coffee he was grinding and the long list of unfinished orders, his mouth twitched slightly.

He couldn’t free himself at all!

“Little Xin, the boss is busy. Why don’t you sit and wait for a while? I’ll get you some coffee.” Noticing how busy Shen Cheng was, Xiang Long nodded and spoke to Xiang Xin.

Xiang Xin’s face immediately fell, but she obediently listened to Xiang Long, sitting quietly in the corner of the Cat Café, idly playing with her phone.

After Xiang Xin left, Xiang Long sat at the counter, ordered two mixed coffees, then furrowed his brow slightly and asked Shen Cheng, “Boss, it seems like you’ve changed a lot again this week.”

As he said this, Xiang Long also noticed the motionless Little Qi in Shen Cheng’s arms, like a doll. He blinked but didn’t ask anything.

“Haha, have I?” Shen Cheng just smiled, glanced at Xiang Xin in the corner, then suddenly asked Xiang Long, “Big Long, do you really support Little Xin practicing martial arts with me?”

While speaking, Shen Cheng’s coffee-grinding movements did not slow down at all, the flying remnants of coffee grounds dazzled onlookers.

Xiang Long shook his head, “Whether she practices or not doesn’t matter, as long as Little Xin is with you.”

Since witnessing the changes in Xiang Xin after interacting with Shen Cheng that night, Xiang Long had come to greatly admire Shen Cheng. In his eyes, as long as Little Xin stayed close to Shen Cheng, she would surely break away from her rebellious nature.

Noticing the newly appeared Lingxue in the shop, Xiang Long thought for a moment, then asked Shen Cheng, “Boss, can Little Xin work at your shop? Don’t worry, you don’t need to pay her.”

Shen Cheng: “…”

That made it sound like I was reluctant to pay her salary, didn’t it?

Watching Xiang Xin, who was now captivated by the cats on the floor, Shen Cheng thought it might be a good idea to temper her personality, so he nodded and said, “If Little Xin is willing, let her give it a try.”

“Great, I’ll go talk to her.” With that, Xiang Long got up and sat next to Xiang Xin, starting to talk to her.

After Xiang Long left, Lin Yuhui approached Shen Cheng and asked, “Senior, who is that girl? She looks about the same age as Little Die…”

“She’s indeed from the same school as Little Die, Xiang Xin, and she’s Big Long’s daughter,” Shen Cheng replied.

Lin Yuhui: “…”

Lin Yuhui glanced back and forth between Xiang Long and Xiang Xin several times, blinking in disbelief.

Xiang Long’s… daughter?

Biological?

Looking at his daughter holding a cat in her arms, Xiang Long asked, “Little Xin, do you want to work under the boss?”

“Work under Master?” Hearing this, Xiang Xin was momentarily stunned, then her eyes lit up with excitement. “Does that mean helping Master in gang wars in Lingshi and fighting other factions?”
