Marcus simply smiled down at his tea cup, not offering a reply.


    Millie, meanwhile, understood that Kai’s request was for Marcus to invest in developing Tea Mount


    further.


    Observing Marcus’ nomittal response, Kai wore a knowing smile.


    “Mr, Thomas, please do stay here with your wife for a few more days. Should you need anything, don’t


    hesitate to ask,” he offered graciously.


    Marcus offered a subtle nod, taking a sip of his tea.


    “Thank you very much.”


    Kai then rose, his voice filled with enthusiasm, “The meal is served. I’ve specifically instructed the


    kitchen to prepare local specialties. Let’s proceed to dine.”


    Together, the trio made their way to the dining room, where arge red round table wasden with


    exquisite dishes. There, Millie met Kai’s wife, who greeted them warmly in a beautiful blue cheongsan.


    “Mr. Thomas, Mrs, Thomas, please take your seats,” she beckoned.

    Millie thought to herself that Mrs. Bryant appeared to be a gentle and virtuous woman.


    Once seated, Kai encouraged them, “Help yourselves.”


    Marcus reached for his fork, serving Millie a shrimp first.


    “This is a local delicacy. It’s fragrant. Give it a try


    Witnessing this gesture, Kai and his wife exchanged smiles and teased, “Mr. Thomas certainly has a


    fondness for Mrs. Thomas.”


    Blushing, Millie felt a bit awkward but took a bite of the shrimp, which was infused with the vor of tea.


    It was her first time experiencing such a dish.


    After the meal, Kai guided Marcus and Millie to the town.


    Upon arrival, Millie was taken aback by the sight of many women donned in various styles of


    cheongsam, exuding elegance like picturesque scenes. She realized how perfectly tea and cheongsam


    complemented one another.


    Mrs. Bryant, Leslie then exined with a smile, “This town is affectionately known as Cheongsam


    Town. The local artisans are renowned for their dexterity and skill in crafting cheongsam


    That rified why so many were adorned in such attire.


    “Mrs. Thomas, would you like to try on a cheongsam?” Leslie inquired, eyeing Millie’s figure. Millie was


    not overweight but rather shapely, and Leslie believed she would look stunning in a cheongsam.

    Taken aback, Millie’s gaze shifted to a shop nearby selling cheongsam. The garments were


    undoubtedly beautiful, and she felt a twinge of temptation, but she was also slightly shy about wearing


    one.


    Marcus nced at Millie, encouragingly suggesting, “Why not give it a try?” He couldn’t help but


    remember the first time he saw her in a cheongsam on their wedding day. Despite his anger at the


    time, he had been astonished to see her descending the stairs toward him in that red cheongsam.


    Millie’s eyes flickered, and she hesitated for a moment.


    “I’LL apany you to choose one, It will surely look wonderful on you,” Leslie reassured, taking


    Millie’s hand and leading her into a nearby cheongsam shop.


    The shelves were filled with an array of cheongsams, leaving Millie somewhat dazzled.
