“You don’t have to apologize,” Leng Ruoxue replied coldly. She was not like the prideful Shui Xinran, and other people’s comments wouldn’t affect her.

“Feng Da, throw the second young lady of the Mo family out. From now on, the Mo family will never be my friend,” Leng Ruoxue said to Feng Da and everyone present at the same time.

“Yes, Miss.” After receiving his young lady’s order, Feng Da would definitely do his best to carry it out.

“Big Sister Mo, the Mo family is the Mo family, and you are you.” Leng Ruoxue glanced at Mo Yingyue and comforted her.

“Okay.” Mo Yingyue nodded. She knew that part of what Ruoxue said was to support her, so she was very touched.

“Everyone, don’t be affected by an eyesore or two. Please continue!” Leng Ruoxue said to everyone.

“Yes, that’s right,” everyone echoed very generously.

“Old Leng, your granddaughter really distinguishes between love and hate. She can’t tolerate dirt in her eyes!” Lin Liang sighed with emotion. Young people are really bold. The Mo family’s future probably won’t be pleasant.

“Of course. Anyone who dares to bully my grandson and granddaughter is going against me, Leng Qingtian. Such people are the enemy of our Leng family!” Leng Qingtian said as a matter of course.

“And also my enemy!” Old Yu, sitting next to Leng Qingtian, added.

“Fine, they’re my enemy too!” Lin Liang didn’t want to fall behind. Moreover, Old Leng’s grandson was his disciple.

Upon hearing this, everyone was flabbergasted. How can you be so protective?

Although there were some unhappy hiccups during the meal, it was generally very satisfactory and also achieved Leng Ruoxue’s goal of treating people to free food. She believed that the reputation of the Prosperity Pavilion was already incomparably resounding in the hearts of these families.

The first day of business ended after all the guests finished their meals contentedly and left.

After sending off all the guests, Leng Ruoxue and the others returned to the general’s mansion.

In the living room of the general’s mansion…

“Junior Aunt, we want to stay here for a while,” Guo Yong said shamelessly. In other words, he wanted her to arrange a place for them to stay!

“Can’t the Artificer Association accommodate people?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a few drops of cold sweat on her forehead. Are they planning to stay in my house just like that?

“How can it be more comfortable than living at home? You are our Junior Aunt. Can you bear to see your cute disciple-nephews live in the Artificer Association?” Guo Qiang said with a wronged expression on his face that was full of bitterness!

“Feng Da, go arrange a room for them!” Leng Ruoxue admitted defeat. These two people’s ages added together were almost a hundred years old. What else could she say if they could say such coquettish words?

“Yes, Miss.” Feng Da then led Guo Yong and Guo Qiang out of the living room.

“Xue’er, looks like they’re sticking to you.” Freak smiled sympathetically when they were alone in the living room.

“Yeah.” Leng Ruoxue nodded helplessly. Everyone could see that even without him saying it.

“You’re not jealous?” Leng Ruoxue continued as if she had discovered a new world.

“Tch, what’s the point of being jealous of two old men?” Freak said indifferently. If they wanted to make him jealous, they had to be at Dongfang Yun’s level!

“Oh, I thought you were jealous of everyone!” Leng Ruoxue teased.

“But what are you planning by sticking together with Dongfang Yun today?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. She was surprised that Freak didn’t stick to her today but stayed together with Dongfang Yun.

“I want to know him well!” Freak smiled evilly. He had been watching Dongfang Yun closely all day so that Dongfang Yun wouldn’t have a chance to get close to his Xue’er. But he had paid a rather large price because he hadn’t been able to stick to Xue’er for the entire day. Boohoo… I seem to have suffered some losses…

“Xue’er.” Freak suddenly hugged Leng Ruoxue tightly. I have to make up for today’s loss!

“Freak, let go of me! You’re hugging me too tightly!” Leng Ruoxue shouted.

“Oh, then I’ll be gentler.” He still didn’t intend to let go.

“Freak, how long do you plan to hug me?” Leng Ruoxue asked speechlessly after a long while.

“For life!” Freak said affectionately, his eyes shining like stars.

“Freak, I’m tired from standing,” Leng Ruoxue said, slightly dampening the mood. She would probably fall asleep soon.

“Oh, you’re not tired anymore, are you?!” Freak carried Leng Ruoxue up. I am really too smart.

“Yes, I’m not tired. But I’m sleepy and want to sleep,” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Freak is getting better at pretending to be stupid.

“Oh, I’ll take you back to your room then.” Freak was very understanding and ran straight to the Listening Snow Pavilion with Leng Ruoxue in his arms.

“Xue’er, go to sleep!” Upon reaching her room, he directly put her on the bed. But he also conveniently sat down beside her bed.

“Freak, you can go back to your room to sleep now,” Leng Ruoxue said directly while looking at him, who had no intention of leaving.

“Hurry up and sleep. Don’t bother about me!” Freak urged.

Seeing how stubbornly he refused to leave, Leng Ruoxue closed her eyes and ignored him.

Freak leaned against her bed and stared at her without blinking. As he listened to her even breathing, his heart was churning like the sea. When will Xue’er realize how important I am?

…

The next day, when Leng Ruoxue woke up, she found Freak sleeping next to her bed…

Freak is really…

She shook her head helplessly and gently adjusted him into a more comfortable position. She then covered him with the blanket and quietly got off the bed. After freshening up, she left the room…

…

Several days later.

“Miss, business in our restaurant has been very good these few days,” Feng Da said to Leng Ruoxue excitedly in the garden.
