Gu Jinyuan ordered a table full of delicacies, all of which were the signature dishes of the First Restaurant. He also ordered a pot of Hundred-Year Osmanthus Wine.

‘When Xue Fanxin saw so much delicious food, her index finger twitched. She started eating unrestrainedly, not caring about her image at all. She ate heartily, praising as she ate. At the same time, she explained why she had come to the Tongxuan Realm in a simple manner.

Upon learning that Xue Fanxin had been banned by the Xue family the moment she reached the Tongxuan Realm and had almost lost her life, Gu Jinyuan was extremely angry. He sneered coldly. “The Xue family? Very good, I’ll remember this.”

To dare to issue a ban on his savior, it seemed like the Xue family felt that their days were too good.

However, he really had not expected Xue Fanxin to be of the Xue family’s bloodline.

“Tl deal with those from the Xue family sooner or later. Once I’m full, I’ll definitely teach them a lesson.” Xue Fanxin nibbled on her drumstick with relish. She hated the Xue family, but up to now, only that Madam Xue had offended her, so she wouldn’t bundle all of them in one basket.

“If you need help, just ask.” Gu Jinyuan understood Xue Fanxin’s character. She liked to do everything herself and not rely on others. He did not take the initiative to help her deal with the Xue family.

such a woman was what he admired the most.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Friends are meant to be used. If there’s a need, I’ll definitely not stand on ceremony.” Xue Fanxin treated Gu Jinyuan as a friend, that was why she spoke so casually in front of him. “This roasted chicken is really delicious. Prepare another for me. I want to take it back for Grandpa,

and this… that…”

“Alright, I’l send someone to prepare it for you. In the future, if you want to eat delicious food, feel free to come to the First Restaurant. Eat as much as you want. The bill will be on my tab.”

“Really? Then won’t you suffer a huge loss?”

“This little money is nothing to me.”

“You’re a good friend. Don’t mind me then!” Xue Fanxin did not mind Gu Jinyuan and ate her food generously.

Although she was taking advantage of Gu Jinyuan, when she became rich in the future, she would never forget her friends.

This was not the first time Gu Jinyuan had heard Xue Fanxin say things like “good friend, loyal enough,” and so on. He was secretly hurt. Actually, he did not want to just be Xue Fanxin’s friend, but her… Unfortunately, he probably would not have this chance.

Although Ye Jiushang was a Lord and Imperial Uncle of the Heavenly Saints Empire, according to what he knew, there was an even more powerful force backing him. That force was something that even the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company could not find.

Most importantly, Xue Fanxin liked Ye Jiushang. She only wanted to be friends with him and had no romantic feelings for him. Since it was impossible for them to get married, he should cherish this friendship.

Gu Jinyuan looked at Xue Fanxin eating happily and did not feel disgusted at all. Instead, he thought that she was cute and honest. “Eat slowly, don’t choke. No one is snatching it from you.”

“Aren’t you eating?” Xue Fanxin saw that Gu Jinyuan had been drinking from the beginning to the end and that the dishes on his side had not moved at all.

“I’m not hungry yet. Eat it yourself.”

“You might not be hungry, but I am. If you don’t eat, I’ll eat.” Xue Fanxin took the plate of sweet and sour carp in front of Gu Jinyuan and ate it on her own.

‘When Gu Jinyuan saw this, he was rendered speechless. He just shook his head helplessly and revealed a doting smile.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Jinyuan thought that the waiter was delivering food, so he said, “Come in.”

‘Who knew that the person who came in was not the waiter but Su Baifeng? This made him very displeased, and he frowned.
