The Little Shop Really Only Sells Tea

Next up: I Became the Talk of the Town After My Engagement Was Broken Off, a historical romance launching on October 5. (Rubbing my hands together. Please add it to your collection!)

Official blurb: Tea houses sell tea, and taverns sell wine. Even a three-year-old knows that much. So...

Why did Shan Hao order wine the first time he came to the tea house?

The second time, Jian Ning recommended the house's signature flower tea, but he asked for a cup of hot water instead. What was he playing at?

By the third time, Jian Ning was already exasperated just seeing him. Whatever, she thought. He can do whatever he likes. But then, to her surprise, he ordered a cup of Biluochun. Hmm. Good. Very good.

Just as she innocently thought the day would go as smoothly as usual, Shan Hao called her over to settle the bill and asked, "Boss lady, can I take you to go?"

"Y-yes... you can."

"Ha. Great. Then let's go."

Only when Shan Hao held out a hand in invitation did Jian Ning realize something was off. She hurriedly said, "W-wait. I meant the tea!"

"Did you? Because I meant you..."

Reader's guide:

1. This is a fictional setting, very fictional, so please don't scrutinize the details.

2. One-on-one romance. The heroine has a lot of inner monologue.
