I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating - Chapter 149

149 I Will

After Eldest Sister-in-law Shen tasted the double skin milk, she was full of praise.

“Ah Tao, isn’t this too delicious?”

“Eldest Sister-in-law, I’ve already told Eldest Brother about the cooking method of this double skin milk. Moreover, I’ve already asked Butler Ma to promote it at Old Madam Ma’s birthday banquet today, so you and Eldest Brother can discuss a suitable time to promote the double skin milk. However, the cost of making double skin milk is relatively high, so you can sell it in limited quantities. Moreover, if the double skin milk is made overnight, it won’t taste good.”

“In short, I’ve asked Shen Yao to write down everything I can think of.” Ji Zhao smiled and handed the simple plan to Eldest Sister-in-law Shen. “However, you and Eldest Brother have been running this pastry shop for so many years. You must have your own ideas.”

!!
“Ah Tao, you’re really too kind!” Sister-in-law Shen was so grateful that she didn’t know what to say. “Mother once said that even brothers have to settle accounts clearly! You were the one who provided the recipe for this double skin milk. In the future, we’ll give you 50% of the profits from this dessert. What do you think?”

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen had always been sensible, and she really admired Ji Ah Tao from the bottom of her heart.

Over the years, Dingyuan County had been affected by the drought. Most of the citizens in the county had been living frugally and did not have any spare money to buy pastries to eat. If not for Ah Tao’s timely appearance, helping their shop push out the mung bean ice cake and full moon cakes and successfully signing a contract with the Qin family, the shop would have closed.

“Sister-in-law, we’re family. Why are you treating me like an outsider?” Ji Zhao quickly rejected her. “It’s getting late. I’m afraid it’ll be curfew soon. Shen Yao and I will go back to the restaurant first.”

Without waiting for Sister-in-law Shen to ask them to stay, Ji Zhao grabbed Shen Yao’s arm and ran away.

Looking at their hurried backs, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen was both amused and touched.

The moonlight was like water, quiet and silent.

Ji Zhao, who was holding Shen Yao’s hand, walked on Qinghe Street and hummed a tune happily.

“I’m sure that you’re my only one~Saying I love you to my phone by myself~ I really love you~” Ji Zhao hummed her favorite song and deliberately slurred the lyrics.

However, Shen Yao could tell that she was in a good mood.

“Ah Tao, are you happy?” Shen Yao suddenly tickled her palm and smiled gently.

“Yes, of course I’m happy~” Ji Zhao’s lips curled up happily. “Today at the Ma Residence, I received a reward of six taels of silver! Besides, didn’t Second Brother You say before that he would help me rent a shop? Of course, more importantly, Eldest Sister-in-law doesn’t hate me anymore.”

“Why do you care so much about what Eldest Sister-in-law thinks of you?” Shen Yao asked curiously.

“Because she’s your family!” Ji Zhao blurted out without thinking. “And I heard from Mother that in order to treat your leg injury, Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law even helped pawn their own dowry.”

“They’re all family members that care about you. That’s why I care what they think of me.”

Shen Yao did not expect Ji Zhao’s motive to be for him.

At this moment, his emotions were a little complicated.

“Ah Tao.” Shen Yao suddenly stopped in his tracks and faced her. He exhaled deeply and asked with a serious gaze, “Do you feel aggrieved marrying me?”

“Shen Yao, will you do anything to let me down in the future?” To his surprise, Ji Zhao asked instead of answering.

“I won’t.”

“Then will you treat me well, love me, and protect me for the rest of my life?”
