Chapter 1229: Taken Away! (3)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Opposite her, Bian Guanshi looked pale.

The White Dragon Lord, who had just finished fasting for seven days and was planning to go out for a “cheat meal” tonight, couldn’t go anywhere!

He sat opposite Su Ji. His expression seemed calm, but his eyebrows would tremble slightly.

On the table in front of Su Ji were two Chinese desserts wrapped in kraft paper and a pot of flower tea that she had brought along.

After serving the major shareholder, the little apprentice came over to pour tea for his master.

Just as he was about to step forward, the bodyguard who had been waiting behind Pei Huai blocked his way. The little apprentice swallowed nervously and looked at the few mountains in front of him. He had an inexplicable premonition that they were coming with ill intentions!

Su Ji calmly poured Bian Guanshi a cup of flower tea that she brought and said coldly, “I’ll take care of your master.”

However, the little apprentice glanced at the things she brought and hesitated, not daring to make a sound.

There was a wax seal with an obvious logo on the kraft paper bag. It was a pastry shop that was very popular in Lucheng City recently.

She heard that it was indeed delicious. Every time she went, she had to queue up.

However, regardless of how fragrant the pastries were, his master would never eat them.

His master was very health-conscious. His usual meals were five-colored quilted wheat, stir-fried vegetables, and boiled mushrooms.

His master had long lost his desires, and he had no desire for food.

The little apprentice had never seen his master eat any pastries, desserts, or snacks…

The two kraft paper bags were opened one by one. One bag was chestnut cake, and the other was osmanthus and poria cake.

Bian Guanshi’s Adam’s apple bobbed inconspicuously. He looked at Su Ji and went straight to the point. “If Miss Su comes to ask about Madam Xu today, I’m afraid you’ll have to leave disappointed.”

Although it was his first time seeing her, he knew the girl sitting in front of him.

And it wasn’t because she was very famous, nor was it because a few days ago, someone came to beg for a pair of beautiful twins like hers.

Pei Huai and Bian Tong had come for her, and Xu Mingzhi had also come for her.

Bian Guanshi was the cause and the core of everything, so he knew.

Moreover, he could tell that this lady was destined to be protected. Her birth date was not ordinary.

Su Ji raised her hand and leaned forward.

“Please don’t speak,” Bian Guanshi interrupted him. “I have nothing to say to you. Everything is settled and irreversible. Please don’t waste your time.”

Su Ji continued to open the pastries at an unhurried pace. She pushed the two bags of pastries in front of Bian Guanshi. “Master Bian, don’t be nervous. I’m just here with my husband to visit Lucheng City, so I dropped by and brought some local pastries for you.”

Bian Guanshi:

What a low-effort lie.

It was the middle of summer, and the temperature in Lucheng City broke the national temperature record. The eggs were fried on both sides until they were golden yellow. Who would choose to visit Lucheng City at this time?

However…

Since she had brought a gift over, it meant that she knew the etiquette…

However, he would never eat these high-calories snacks that were not good for his health!

However, the setting sun suddenly shone in from outside the window. Today’s setting sun was especially brilliant. It shone on the plate of chestnut cakes, as if it had cast a layer of gourmet filter.

The color was dazzling. The prints on the top of the pastry made its surface uneven. The setting sun shone on it, and the shadows were deep and shallow. It was almost melted by the sun, and it looked extremely soft.

Bian Guanshi’s stomach was growling with hunger. The noise was so loud that Su Ji thought there was someone hiding under the table.

“Are you sure you don’t want to try it, Master Bian?”

“I…” Bian Guanshi struggled for five to six seconds. Suddenly, he reached out his hand and took a piece of chestnut cake. He quickly put it into his mouth and said, “then I’ll do as you say!”

The little apprentice who was full of confidence in his master just a second ago,”???”

Bian Guanshi, who finally tasted the exquisite taste of the chestnut cake…His brain exploded with fireworks!

He didn’t even need to chew. Just by talking, the chestnut cake had already melted in his mouth!

What was even more amazing was that he felt like he had tasted this before.

It was especially familiar, as if…

Then, at this moment, there was a thud! A sound rang out.

The apprentice gasped and watched his master, who couldn’t resist the temptation of delicious food, fall straight onto the table!

He fainted!

At this moment, other than him, everyone else in the room was extremely calm.

Su Ji raised her hand, and the bodyguards immediately stepped forward and carried him away!
