The next morning, Zhao Tienan returned to Fengshan Village.

After paying the final installment for the building materials, he started letting the construction workers begin the renovations.

From start to finish, everything went smoothly.

"Tienan, I really can't thank you enough. If it weren't for you organizing everything, I honestly don't know if I could even see this barbershop becoming a reality."

Sun Xiaowen said with deep gratitude, her eyes filled with admiration and reliance.

In her eyes, Zhao Tienan was the best man for her, aside from her grandfather.

"No need to thank me. I asked the workers, and they said it'll take at most a little over two weeks, and this place will be ready for business. Prepare yourself and let me know if there's anything you lack."

Zhao Tienan said with a smile, appearing very generous and cheerful.

"Oh, Doctor Zhao, you're being so attentive; could it be that you've taken a liking to my Xiaowen?"

Just then, Xu Wenjing walked over, linking arms with Sun Xiaowen, and the two of them seemed very close.

"Ah?"

Zhao Tienan sized them up and immediately sensed something fishy going on.

He remembered clearly that Xu Wenjing and Sun Xiaowen weren't that close, yet now they were acting almost like one person—this was really abnormal.

Could it be...

"Jing, stop making things up, will you?"

Sun Xiaowen blushed, looking very embarrassed as she lightly pushed Xu Wenjing. Her shy and bashful demeanor was simply adorable.

"Hmph, I'm not making things up."

"Doctor Zhao, just a warning: don't think about cradle-snatching here. Even though you've helped Sun Xiaowen, it doesn't mean you can force her to do anything; otherwise, don't think I'll let you get away with it!"

Xu Wenjing said, holding her little waist defiantly.

"What, do you really think so little of me?"

"We're just neighbors helping each other out. You make me sound so insincere; it's really hurtful."

Zhao Tienan chuckled ruefully and said, now more certain than ever that Xu Wenjing had approached Sun Xiaowen with some sort of ulterior motive.

"Hmph, you're not a good person, so stop putting on an act here. Xiaowen, let's go. We don't need to bother with him."

Xu Wenjing rolled her eyes at Zhao Tienan and turned to pull Sun Xiaowen away.

Not a good person?

Hearing those words, Zhao Tienan felt a cold sneer rising in his heart.

"Small Facing Heaven Pepper, you want to mess with me, huh? Fine, just wait till you fall into my hands again. I'll be sure to teach you a lesson."

Zhao Tienan started plotting, determined not to give Xu Wenjing any more chances.

"Doctor Zhao!"

"The wedding date has been set, it's the day after tomorrow. You must come to the wedding and help liven up the atmosphere."

At that moment, a very familiar voice sounded from behind—it was none other than Zhang Danfeng, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Really? Congratulations, congratulations. I'll definitely be there to celebrate."

"By the way, where's your fiancé? I haven't seen him around these days."

Zhao Tienan immediately asked because, according to logic, the groom should be around more now that the wedding is near.

"Don't mention it. That silly man of mine doesn't care about socializing at all; he's just focused on that kind of thing all day..."

Zhang Danfeng gave a wry smile, but her expression showed she must be really enjoying it.
