MoonRiver Cafe-

  Jia Fei was standing at the counter and was checking the account book for the last month. Her brows raised upon seeing the high revenue flow of last month. They haven't promoted the cafe nor didn't do any special events to avoid unnecessary attention from the media. 

  Whenever someone visits them, they always get surprised to meet a celebrity like them as cafe owners. Not only one, but two superstars in one cafe. Although they were getting a decent amount of customers thanks to their hospitality and free SNS promotion by their customers, the revenue of last month was quite high. 

  What changed things last month? 

  Jia Fei turned to the girl standing next to her who was cleaning the counter and asked, " Did we do any online promotion or event last month to promote the cafe?" 

  The girl was perplexed upon hearing her sudden question and pondered for a moment, " Errm……For as long as I remember, we didn't do any promotional events last month."

  " We were planning to do some events but didn't do anything because the Sunlight cafe opposite to us did some events and promotional events to promote their cafe, but it didn't turn out much effective. So Ms. Luo said to not waste money on it and improve our food quality instead." 

  Jia Fei pursed her lips and thought for a while. " Then….why is the revenue of the last month so high? It's weird." Although she is happy that their cafe is doing well, she needs to know the reason for this change. So that they can continue to do things that way to increase their sales.

  " AH! You're asking about that? It was because of Mr. Han." The girl responded. 

  Jia Fei frowned. " Mr. Han? Who is he?"

  " You don't know? The famous idol soloist, Han Liang! He is our regular customer."

  Jia Fei scoffed upon seeing her addressing him so formally, " Ah, you're talking about that monkey guy? What did he do?" 

  The girl pursed her lips and took a deep breath. How can she call such a handsome guy a monkey? That's a disgrace to his handsome looks. 

  The girl forced herself to put on a polite smile for the sake of Luo Dan's gentle demeanor and responded, " Last month he couldn't visit the cafe much because of his work, but he has used our special 'coffee truck service' a few times to send to his friends. He has sent the coffee trucks to his celebrity friends who are actors and idols." 

  " He has sent it a few times which helped our last month's revenue to grow. Not only that, his manager comes every morning to get coffee for him and the whole staff at the shooting set." 

  Jia Fei frowned. 

  'Why is this Han Liang being so loyal to our cafe? Is it because we belong to the same industry as him?

  Or does he feel bad for badmouthing Jiang Yue before? Or is it….' She frowned and squinted eyes at Luo Dan who was sitting at the tables in the cafe since there were no customers at the moment and was smiling and laughing while staring at her phone. 

  Why is she laughing like a crazy woman? She wondered. 

  _

  Luo Dan was sipping on her iced americano and was smiling while looking at her phone. She was so busy in her world that she didn't realize that someone was standing behind her. 

  Jia Fei looked at Luo Dan suspiciously to see her smiling and giggling like a teenage girl. She has never seen her smiling and giggling like that before. It's so strange. 

  She bends and leans closer to sneak a peek at her phone. 

  [ It's always fascinating to look at everyone from this majestic stage. From here everyone looks so tiny and shines like pretty stars in their extravagant dresses and tuxedos. But guess what, I am the shiniest star among all the stars.] Han Liang laughed while holding a trophy in one hand and a bouquet in the other. 

  Jie Fei frowned to see that Luo Dan was watching Han Liang's Great Award speech. Was she smiling just because of this? 

  " And I thought you're watching something interesting."

  _

  "AHHhh" Luo Dan was startled when she heard Jia Fei's voice from behind. " What the hell are you doing?"

  " You scared me to death!" Luo Dan takes a few quick breaths while holding her chest to calm down her nerves. This brat sure knows how to get on her nerves. 

  Jia Fei scoffed and said, "What is so funny about his speech? He is the same, narcissist as ever." Jia Fei commented while shaking her head in disappointment. 

  " Luo Dan, I am telling you. This guy is no good for you. You're too good for him." 

  Luo Dan frowned. She was angry and embarrassed at the same time. " What are you saying? I was just watching the award show, not him."

  " Oh really? Luo Dan, I can accept anyone as my brother-in-law but not him. He called our music tasteless and boring. He is our rival, not a friend." 

  Luo Dan scratched her neck awkwardly and said sheepishly, " But he already apologized for that. Also, he didn't even know much about our songs back then."

  " Apologised? To whom? He didn't say a word to me."

  " He did. He apologized to me. Also, he feels bad for making things difficult for our group at that time and saying things recklessly in an interview. He is not as bad as you think he is." 

  Jia Fei looks at her in shock. She gasps and covers her mouth with her palm, " You……You……Are you defending him? Luo Luo, you never defended me like this."

  " Are you taking his side now? Do you like him?" She asks. 

  Luo Dan was caught off guard by Jia Fei's blunt question and panics, " Have you lost your mind? Can't boys and girls be friends only?" 

  " Moreover, I talk to him because he is our regular customer and also helped us to catch that pervert too. I am thankful to him, that's all." She said while avoiding Jia Fei's suspicious gaze. 

  She didn't know why but Jia Fei's accusation didn't hurt her. Instead, she could feel her cheeks getting red and was having a hard time explaining herself. 

  Is it because she has worked too hard that she can't speak clearly? Why is she stuttering as if she is guilty of something? 

  Jia Fei is kidding. How can she like Han Liang? They're just friends……just friends. 

  " Did……did you see this? Xu Nuan's group won the rookie of the year and song of the year just after debuting. Isn't it crazy? After our group, isn't it the first time that someone has won both big awards just after debuting?" Luo Dan said while trying to drift Jia Fei's attention from her. 

  However, Jia Fei's eyes were already on Luo Dan. They have known each other for years now and she knows that Luo Dan is like an open page. She can't lie. 

  Her eyes tell her everything. That's why she was even avoiding eye contact with her. 

  Does Luo like that ugly monkey? Luo Dan has never gotten into a relationship so she isn't aware of the concept of love. 

  She loves reading romance novels but has zero practical experience. She is in love with fictional love. 

  What if that monkey guy hurts her, just like Qin Ju did to Jiang Yue? She is afraid that just like Jiang Yue, she will lose her as well. 

  However……just because of that incident, she can't stop Luo Dan from loving her life. 

  Jia Fei sighed seeing Luo Dan avoiding the topic and didn't say anything further. Luo Dan seems to be the most mature one in their group, but she is the most emotional and vulnerable one in their group. 

  She easily gets hurt and tires herself out emotionally. That's why she and Jiang Yue have always been protective of her. 

  Seeing her falling in love with someone else is like marrying their daughter off to someone. They just want her to be happy and be treated like a Queen, as she is. 

  She deserves all the best things in the world. 

  She looked at Luo Dan who was showing her the speech video of the Knights and said, " You better introduce your boyfriend to me whenever you get one. He has to get a clearance from me first before dating you. Discussion over!!" She said firmly before walking inside the kitchen. 

  Luo Dan was speechless when she left like that. " Who are you? Are you my father? Also, I already said that I don't have a boyfriend." She shouted but Jia Fei only waved a hand at her while walking ahead and didn't say anything. 

  'This little brat…' She was angry at her for being so protective of her but she can't be angry at her for long either. Because she knows that she only wants the best for her, she knows this very well. 

  Even if Jia Fei looks like a hard rock coconut from the outside, she is filled with deep and thoughtful emotions from the inside. 

  After Jia Fei left, Luo Dan shook her head in speechlessness and sat at the chair again. " She is letting her imagination run wild again."
