Even Mo Lan, who usually prefers peace and quiet, couldn't help but stop frequently on the road. As the old saying goes, the more laughter you hear, the better your mood will be.

As she walked along, looking around, suddenly, someone blocked her path. Without thinking much, Mo Lan slipped and continued walking forward, not even sparing the other person a glance.

Unfortunately, after walking only a few steps, their path was blocked again, this time even their view was obstructed.

"Excuse me."

"You really don't want to see me?"

"Well?"

The voice sounded so familiar. Mo Lan looked up and froze when she saw the familiar blue fox mask in front of her.

What are you doing here?

"Why can't I be here?" Qin Su looked at the undisguised surprise in Mo Lan's eyes, pursed her lips, and felt a slight pang of sadness in her heart. There was no joy in her eyes at all.

"Wait, didn't you go back to Liangjing? Why are you here? It doesn't make sense."

As Mo Lan spoke, she reached out and pulled his body apart, looking left and right. Sure enough, not far away in the crowd, she saw Tingyu in red and a stranger in white.

"He went back, but came out again. He has something to do." Qin Su was pushed aside, her lips twitching. She was used to being ignored and didn't feel anything was wrong.

"I see. When did you arrive? Have you eaten? My treat." Mo Lan turned around. She still needed Qin Su's help, so she had to treat him well.

"I just arrived this afternoon and haven't had lunch yet." Qin Su knew Mo Lan well, so he spoke without any politeness.

“What a coincidence, I haven’t eaten either. I’m staying at Fengqiao Restaurant, their specialties are pretty good, how about we eat together?” Mo Lan suggested directly, standing next to Qin Su.

“Okay, I’ve heard that Fengqiao Restaurant is one of the best places in Jiang County. We can go and try it.” They had originally planned to stay there anyway, so this is perfect.

"Miss Mo Lan, it's so nice to see you again so soon."

Upon seeing Mo Lan, Ting Yu immediately greeted her with a beaming smile, and then introduced the white-clad man beside her, "This is Piao Xue. He used to stay in Liangjing to help the young master with his affairs. Don't let his cold face fool you; he's the young master's capable subordinate. If you need anything done, just tell him, and he'll handle it perfectly. As for his cold face, just ignore it."

"Nice to meet you." Such a large piece of ice—it's impossible to ignore it.

Piaoxue glanced at Tingyu and nodded to Molan as a greeting. He had long heard of Molan's reputation, and upon seeing her today, he couldn't help but scrutinize her. However, when he met Molan's eyes, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

It's strange that he actually felt threatened just now.

"Ahem~, aren't we going back to the restaurant?" Qin Su felt uncomfortable after being ignored for so long. He glanced at Piao Xue indifferently, regretting that he hadn't let him go out in place of Wu Feng.

Snowflakes: "..."

What did he do?

Was that threatening look from the boss?

The group returned to Fengqiao Restaurant. Tingyu took the initiative to help Piaoxue book a room, leaving Molan and Qin Su alone.

Fortunately, the young man treated them to a friendly meal; otherwise, the two would have been in an extremely awkward situation.

Once inside the private room, Mo Lan, having been there two days longer than him, ordered several local specialties.

"Jiangjun is rich in aquatic products, including river fish, shrimp and crab, and they are all cooked in a very authentic way. I especially like the drunken crab. You should try it in a bit; it tastes delicious."

Qin Su felt a warmth in her heart as she saw Mo Lan's unusually warm hospitality; the steward's trip hadn't been in vain.

"good,"
