Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bai Ruiguang stood outside the courtyard, accompanied by his attendant, wearing a smile on his face.

Subconsciously, Hong Fang, Wu Zimo, and the others positioned themselves in front of Gu Chaoyan, casting wary glances at Bai Ruiguang.

In the past, a young master like Bai Ruiguang would have kept a considerable distance from them, fearful of being tainted by their lowly status. Now that he sought them out, they couldnt help but wonder what his intentions were.

Their eyes were fixed on Gu Chaoyan. Perhaps he had some scheme against her.

Plotting against their Master was out of the question. At the very least, they would stand as a protective s.h.i.+eld before him.

Bai Ruiguang, what do you want? Hong Fang inquired.

Bai Ruiguang couldnt maintain a serious expression while facing someone like Hong Fang, so he responded stiffly, Im not here for you. Then, turning towards Gu Chaoyan, he continued, The compet.i.tion is fast approaching, and the Bai Family is hosting a small banquet tomorrow. Our esteemed old chef will be preparing the dishes. The culinary skills of the Bai Familys old chef are unparalleled. Nowadays, she only occasionally showcases her talent due to her advanced age, so tomorrow presents a great opportunity. Miss, would you like to join us?

His gaze held sincerity as he looked at Gu Chaoyan.

In the past few days, he had visited this place intermittently. When he was occupied, he would have his attendants stay here.

With the compet.i.tion drawing near, he himself had made significant progress. Bai Ruiguang happened to have some leisure time today, prompting him to come over. He hadnt intended to seek them out directly, but he hadnt antic.i.p.ated their timely return.

He informed Gu Chaoyan about the Bai Familys gathering tomorrow.

Many people desired to attend the Bai Familys event.

Personally inviting her and sharing details about the esteemed old chef was bound to pique her interest.

Bai Ruiguang pondered to himself.

Gu Chaoyan glanced at him casually. I dont have the time. If the Bai Family is truly sincere, Hong Fang, Zimo, Ziming, Huarong, you can go tomorrow if any of you are available.

Considering their future ties with the Bai Clan, it was inevitable for them to have some form of interaction.

The four of them nodded in agreement.

Visiting the Bai family wouldnt pose a problem for them.

Bai Ruiguangs expression instantly soured.

Allowing the four of them to go? The Bai Clan had no intention of inviting these individuals. If news spread, it would be a source of ridicule within the Bai

Clan.

Miss, arent you coming? The dishes prepared by the old chef are truly delectable, Bai Ruiguang protested reluctantly.

He couldnt comprehend why she always remained so obstinate.

Gu Chaoyan subtly shook her head.

She didnt have extravagant food preferences. In the past, she may have had a slight fondness for tea and snacks, but it wasnt a necessity. Moreover, she harbored something hidden within her heart, an encounter she had on the mountain. Consequently, she had no desire to invest her time in such trivial matters.

Hong Fang, attend to the guests. I have matters to attend to, Gu Chaoyan stated coldly before entering her room.

Sword One and Lingyun followed her inside.

Hong Fang was instructed to stay behind. The other three didnt depart immediately but stayed with Hong Fang.

After all, they were tasked with attending to the guests.

Hong Fangs att.i.tude was still very good, and he was especially polite. Young Master Bai, would you like to sit inside?

Bai Ruiguang looked at them angrily.

Bai Ruiguang, on the other hand, felt dejected. The four of them were trash, but she treated them as family.. What was going on?!
