The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

Feng Luo calmed down, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was off. Ye Liang’s poignant act earlier was obviously performed for her! How did she fall for it though!

But the expression of grief and disappointment on her face didn’t seem fake.

Is this Ye Liang really the foolish girl from Marquis Ye Mansion? Now Feng Luo is perplexed and conflicted!

...

Chu Ge indeed went to the market. After wandering around and realizing that this market was no different from the one in his time and space, he didn’t find much amusement in it and returned.

When he came back, he bought a jar of wine and some meat.

He was about to leave the Beggar Gang soon, so he decided to buy some stuff and have a meal with everyone to express his gratitude. After disturbing everyone for so many days, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

Chu Ge was startled by such a thought, as he used to be thick-skinned enough to tease beauties on the street. When did he become such a refined gentleman?

He shook his head with a laugh, indeed people are subtly influenced by those around them.

Chu Ge didn’t know that while he was walking and laughing, he appeared like a fool to outsiders.

Inside the Old Mansion, the dinner prepared was particularly sumptuous. When Luo Qi and Luo Jiu returned from outside and entered the door, they immediately smelled the fragrance pervading the air.

Luo Jiu laughed heartily, "Who made dinner today? I smelled the fragrance from outside the door!"

Seeing them return, Feng Luo jumped up from her chair and ran to Luo Jiu to take credit, "Uncle Nine, I made this meal!"

"Oh? Rare indeed? You’ve learned to cook now?"

Luo Jiu raised his hand to affectionately pat Feng Luo’s shoulder, praising her, "Not bad, not bad, keep it up, continue next time."

Feng Luo softly hissed, "Although I cooked the meal, these ingredients were prepared by Chu Ge."

She wasn’t one to take advantage of situations; whatever the case was, it was as it was the ingredients were indeed bought by Chu Ge from the marketplace. Although she had tasted his culinary skills before, and he was good at cooking wild game, he wasn’t as proficient in everyday home-cooked meals.

Upon hearing Chu Ge say he bought food to thank the Beggar Gang for taking him in during this period, Feng Luo decided to cook.

Luo Qi looked at Chu Ge with surprise, "Mr. Chu, you’ve gone to such great expense."

Chu Ge smiled, "What Boss Luo said, I’m not sure when I can return as I’m going to the barracks soon. So, let this meal be my personal gesture of appreciation to Boss Luo and Elder Jiu for their hospitality."

"Mr. Chu, you’re overreacting a bit. You’re going to be a military doctor, not fighting in war, so why wouldn’t you return? It’s just a matter of time, in three or five years, you’ll be back."

Luo Jiu subconsciously said, and after speaking, he remembered that Chu Ge was not from their place. Suddenly, as if realizing something, he turned to look at Feng Luo.

Luo Qi also looked at Feng Luo with a complex expression, seemingly anticipating something.

Feng Luo, seeing everyone suddenly looking at her, scratched her head puzzledly, "What’s up with you all? Why are you all staring at me?"

Luo Jiu cleared his throat, he approached Feng Luo, about to speak, when he was interrupted by an unexpected voice.

"What a delicious aroma! I smell beggar’s chicken! Which kid was so considerate to cook my favorite beggar’s chicken for me?"

Huang Gang Leader’s hearty voice came from outside, everyone glanced at the doorway, soon seeing the Old Gang Leader in patched clothing walking inside.

He had a glowing complexion, a ruddy face, and a smile, seemingly having something joyful.

"Old Gang Leader, what’s happened to make you so happy?"

Luo Qi curiously asked, approaching him.

"Haha, how did you know I have something to be happy about?" The Old Gang Leader nodded at Luo Qi, "You kid, good eyes."

Feng Luo pouted, "Old Gang Leader, it’s written all over your face, do we need to guess? Everyone can see it."

The Old Gang Leader laughed as he walked to the table, looking at the sumptuous dining table, he couldn’t help but salivate.

"Before talking about my joy, let’s talk about this table of food, what’s going on? Is it someone’s birthday today, or is someone having good news?"

The Old Gang Leader glanced at the people present.

Feng Luo timely went forward, affectionately wrapping her arm around the Old Gang Leader’s arm and said, "Old Gang Leader, haven’t you always wanted to eat my cooking? All of these were cooked by me, how is it? Aren’t I considerate?"

The Old Gang Leader’s smile stiffened slightly, he looked at Feng Luo doubtfully, "You made all of these?"

Feng Luo nodded, "Of course, just smelling the aroma, you know they were made by me!"

The Old Gang Leader pursed his lips, his Adam’s apple moved a little, "You girl, surely there’s no such thing as a free lunch, did you get into some trouble again?"

Feng Luo looked innocent, "Old Gang Leader, how can you think of me like that? Can’t I just showcase my culinary skills without causing trouble?"

The Old Gang Leader clicked his tongue softly, "Hard to say, a clever girl like you, when asked to cook normally, you’re nowhere to be found, suddenly making such a big table of sumptuous food today, definitely something’s up!"

Feng Luo was speechless, "Old Gang Leader, if you think of me like that, it really hurts my feelings."

Luo Qi saw everyone was present and then invited everyone, "Everyone is here, no need to stand around, come and sit down."

He walked to the Old Gang Leader’s side, set his chair straight, and then said, "Old Gang Leader, please take a seat, no matter if there’s anything up, let’s eat first. These are all your favorites, if we’re late, it’ll be gone. We’ll eat and talk."

"Yes, Old Gang Leader, let’s sit down and eat slowly, chatting as we eat, we haven’t had so many people gathered for a meal in a long time."

The Old Gang Leader took a seat, still with a vigilant face, "You are so solicitous, I’m not used to it, tell me first, what’s going on, say it first, then I’ll eat, that way I can eat with peace of mind."

Luo Qi laughed, "Old Gang Leader, what can it be, it’s all Feng Luo teasing you, this table of food was indeed cooked by Feng Luo, but these dishes were bought by Mr. Chu, he’s grateful for our care during this time."

After hearing Luo Qi’s words, the Old Gang Leader finally relaxed, he feigned anger and glared at Feng Luo, "You little rascal, only know to tease me, an old man!"

Feng Luo made a ghost face at the Old Gang Leader, cheekily smiled, and said, "You thought too much yourself, blame me?"

"But to get back on topic, Old Gang Leader, you have been gleeful since you came in, is there anything pleasant going on?"

Luo Jiu asked curiously, looking at him.

Everyone followed his words and turned their gaze on the Old Gang Leader...
