“He couldn’t accept it? Is this true? He used to yell that he wanted to go back to the Capital every day. In these 2 years, I’ve never seen him really happy. Now he has a chance to go back to the capital, why would he be reluctant to go?”

Boss Chen was full of doubt. Suddenly, Jin Shiwei’s eyes fell on Bai Zhi’s body. Boss Chen had some realization.

Since ancient times, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. Although Bai Zhi is young, she had a beautiful face and she is unique. No words can describe the uniqueness of her intelligence and wisdom.

Meng Nan, who is a son from Meng Family, has seen a lot of pretentious aristocrats in the capital. It was his first time to meet someone like Bai Zhi, who is a unique and kind little girl. No wonder he pays special attention to her.

Boss Chen lowered his voice: “If Meng Daren likes Miss Bai, he can just bring her to the capital. Why bother to hurt himself like this?”

Jin Shiwei shook his head: “Don’t mention this in front of gongzi. The reason why he didn’t arrange to bring Zhi’er in the capital, is because Zhi’er refused.”

Boss Chen was puzzled: “She refused? Why? This is a good opportunity to leave Huangtou Village and live a prosperous life in the capital. How many young lady is dreaming about this, but she actually refused?”

Jin Shiwei nodded his head: “That, I also don’t understand what Zhi’er thinks. She said compared with the prosperity and richness of the capital, she prefers the tranquility and freedom of the mountain village. I really don’t understand what she’s thinking insider her little head.”

Boss Chen suddenly realized that Bai Zhi is really different from ordinary young ladies. Otherwise, he will not be able to hear those words she said to the chefs earlier. Such a simple phrase but has profound truth.

It was precise because of this unusual behavior that she attracted Meng Nan’s attention. And because of this unusual behavior, how could she fell in love with vanity like ordinary girls?

Also because of this, Meng Nan felt in trouble at this time.

The two returned to their seats. To slightly ease the embarrassing atmosphere, Boss Chen was planning to propose a toast and wish Meng Nan a safe trip tomorrow.

However, he hasn’t had a chance to get up, when he saw Bai Zhi picked up steamed pork and put it on Hu Feng’s plate: “Don’t you like this? Try it!”

Hu Feng slightly frown his eyebrows, when did he like this? He doesn’t like to eat greasy foods.

Hu Feng looked sideways and saw Bai Zhi blinking her eyes. He understood clearly what she meant inside his heart. This little girl looked like she wanted to use him as a shield to make Meng Nan’s remaining feelings for her disappeared.

Hu Feng picked up the steamed pork in his plate and took a bite. The pork belly was not greasy and it tastes good.

However, he only took a bite and put the rest back on his plate: “Not as appetizing as yours.” His voice was shallow, but enough for everyone to hear it.

Meng Nan didn’t make a sound, he raised his glass and drank all the wine. He grabbed the wine bottle and pour everything out.

Jin Shiwei grabbed Meng Nan’s arm: “Gongzi, drink less. There is still a lot of work to be done in the afternoon.”

Hearing his official job, Meng Nan couldn’t help but sigh inside his heart. Right, he still had a lot of work to do. Although he is a son from Meng Family, he is not qualified to decide when to drink or not.

Boss Chen hurriedly put a piece of melon pancake in Meng Nan’s plate. Then, he smiled and said: “This is made by our chef. You try it. Compared with Miss Bai’s cooking, how is it?”
