Meng Nan took a bite of melon pancake and chewed it slowly. He didn’t know how many times he chewed the food until he swallowed it.

The food has no taste, he doesn’t know if it originally tastes like this.

Meng Nan put down the chopsticks in his hand and got up, then went close to Boss Chen: “I remembered that there is still something important matter to do in the government. I will go back first. If Boss Chen will visit the capital in the future, come to the Meng Family and look for me. Let’s have a drink.”

Boss Chen knew that Meng Nan was in a bad mood. Since he felt that way, Boss Chen busily said: “Well, if I go to the capital, I will invite you to drink.”

Meng Nan nodded his head and turned to look at Bai Zhi: “Zhi’er, I will leave Qingyuan Town tomorrow. If you will have difficulties in the future, you come to Boss Chen. If Boss Chen can’t help, you can ask Boss leave to send me a letter. As long as I can help, I will help you.”

Bai Zhi smiled and nodded her head: “Mmm, thank you, Meng Dage.”

Meng Nan then sighed and said: “You don’t need to send me tomorrow. I don’t like seeing a parting event.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head again: “Alright.”

Alright? Does she really need to say that without hesitation? What a heartless little girl.

Meng Nan didn’t open his mouth again and then turned to go with Jin Shiwei.

When Meng Nan left, Bai Zhi and Hu Feng also say goodbye to Boss Chen.

Boss Chen really couldn’t bear to see Meng Nan look like that. So when he saw Bai Zhi went outside the restaurant and going up the carriage, he rushed over and called her out: “Miss Bai, I have something to ask you.”

Bai Zhi put down her feet that she just lifted, then turned back to face Boss Chen: “Boss Chen, what do you want to ask?”

Boss Chen opened his mouth and asked: “Don’t you really want to go to the capital with Meng Daren?”

Bai Zhi’s beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, but then she smiled and asked: “Boss Chen wanted to ask this himself or Meng Nan told you to ask?”

Boss Chen busily replied: “This is a question I have in mind. Meng Daren doesn’t know.”

Bai Zhi nodded and said in a low voice: “Boss Chen since you have this question in mind. Let me ask you this, if you were me, what will you do?”

If he was her?

Boss Chen looked at the little girl in front of him. She looked like 12 or 13 years old girl. Although she was so clever, she can’t hide her identity as a farmer in the mountain village. If she went to the capital with Meng Nan, what could happened?

The capital is far better than Qingyuan Town. But Bai Zhi was a poor mountain villager, no good background, no good identity, no good backing, how she will stand there?

Without question, she will be suppressed in the Meng Family. So why leave Qingyuan Town where she has leisurely life and goes to the capital where she will live without peace?

Moreover, she doesn’t seem to have feelings for Meng Nan.

On the contrary, Hu Feng, who was silent all the time, has some tacit understanding with her.

Boss Chen smiled: “I understand. I understand Miss Bai’s meaning. Miss Bai ‘s choice is right. If I were you, I will also do the same.”

Bai Zhi smiled back and went inside the carriage. The carriage soon disappeared in the long street.

Hu Feng seemed to be in a good mood. He was sitting in front of the carriage, driving, but there is always a smile on his lips.

“Master, look, isn’t that the boy who stood up before you yesterday?” A young man with a sharp mouth pointed his finger to the carriage, which was approaching from the distance: “It was him who was with that sharp tongue little girl.”

Boss Chen looked up and saw the boy. Although he didn’t intently looked at the boy yesterday, but with the appearance of this boy, even in a short glance, it’s difficult to forget in a short time.
