Chapter 1105: Chapter 1109: Skillful Hands and Clever Mind

“Spending fifty years with such a master?”

He was afraid he wouldn’t even live to see the end of the contract before he keeled over!

Ye Xingbei looked at Han Zuo’s expression of utter despair and felt a deep sense of empathy.

She often felt the same way due to Fifth Lord of Gu’s actions!

She stealthily pinched Gu Junzhu.

Was it really okay to infuriate people like that?

Han Zuo dared not get angry with his own boss, so he turned and unleashed his anger on Yian Jingxue; how innocent was she?

She wanted to say something to lighten the mood, but Han Zuo spoke up before she could, starting a conversation about company matters.

Gu Junzhu listened for a bit, his casual facial expression gradually becoming more serious as he and Han Zuo took turns discussing.

Ye Xingbei shut her mouth.

Although she didn’t quite understand, seeing their solemn expressions told her the matter must be important.

She couldn’t help, so it was best not to add to the chaos.

The two men talked until the car stopped, seemingly arriving at a conclusion.

Gu Chi opened the car door, and after Gu Junzhu got out, he extended his hand to Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingbei gave him a smile and placed her hand in his palm, using his support to step out of the car.

The three of them entered the Western restaurant together.

When they got to the private room that Yian Jingxue had reserved, Han Zuo caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

He looked back.

The person saw him as well.

After a brief glance, the person quickly lowered their head and hurried into the room next door.

Han Zuo bit his lip and looked away, following Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei into the private room.

Yian Jingxue had already arrived.

Upon seeing the three enter the room, Yian Jingxue stood up with a face as radiant and bright as spring flowers, “Beibei, Beibei’s husband, Brother Zuo.”

Yian Jingxue smiled and reached out to Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingbei walked over quickly and took her hand.

She excitedly hugged Ye Xingbei and pulled her to sit down beside her.

Gu Junzhu sat opposite Ye Xingbei.

Han Zuo sat across from Yian Jingxue.

Yian Jingxue leaned over to Ye Xingbei and whispered in her ear with her hand covering her mouth, “Look, look! Two pairs! The four of us make up two pairs!”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Seeing her smile as bright as the summer flowers, she really couldn’t bear to dampen her spirits.

This hot-headedness, ah!

Yian Jingxue put her hand down smilingly and when facing Gu Junzhu and Han Zuo, she already had a gentle, sweet smile, “Beibei’s husband, Brother Zuo, please go ahead and order. I’ve already ordered four dishes that Beibei and I love. I didn’t know what you guys liked, so I didn’t order for you.”

Neither Gu Junzhu nor Han Zuo were polite, each ordering two more dishes.

Yian Jingxue, with a gleeful smile, opened two boxes she had placed on the table, “Beibei’s husband, Brother Zuo, these are handmade by me as a thank-you for your help yesterday, try them!”

Inside the two boxes were desserts.

One contained twelve flowers.

Each flower was unique, in various colors, lifelike and vibrant.

The other box held twelve little animals.

The twelve animals coincided with the twelve zodiac signs and were made to look lively, lifelike as well.

Ye Xingbei’s eyes lit up, “Did you make these all by yourself?”

“Yup,” Yian Jingxue nodded with a beaming smile, “Aside from taking care of my grandfather, I have nothing else to do, so I have loads of free time. I was bored, so I hired a high-end dessert chef to teach me at home. I usually make sugar-free ones to please my grandfather.”

She looked at Han Zuo and pushed the desserts closer to him, “Brother Zuo helped me out a lot yesterday, and I can’t thank you enough. I made these especially for Brother Zuo today, try them and see if you like them.”
