Chapter 42 Breakfast

Lu Qian didn't understand why the people in Tavia Mansion had such a drastic change in their attitude towards her just because she had a nap.

"Hurry up and inform the boss! Miss Lu is awake!"

"Hello, Miss Lu!"

"Excuse me, Miss Lu, what can I do for you?"

"Ms. Lu, your breakfast is ready. We have Chinese, French, American, and Southeast Asian cuisine... Which one would you like?"

…

Lu Qian just climbed up from the big bed, saw that there was no one in the room, and wanted to go to the bathroom.

She slept so soundly that she felt like her bladder was about to burst.

But looking at the huge number of servants at the door, she couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted to go to the bathroom...

She searched for a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Vani!"

Lu Qian waved at Wani with his eyes twinkling.

Wani skipped over to Lu Qian and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Qian leaned close to Wani's ear and whispered, "I want to go to the bathroom. Can you take me there?"

Wan Ni suddenly realized, clapped her hands, and took Lu Qian's hand, "Come on, I'll take you there."

Vanilla pulled Lu Qian through the servants. Their eyes kept on Lu Qian, making her want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Lu Qian bumped into Cheng Yi who was coming from the distance in the corridor.

He looked a little haggard, with an irregular stubble on his sharp jaw and faint dark circles under his narrow eyes. His clothes were still the same ones he had worn two days ago, even the torn collar was unchanged.

As soon as Lu Qian saw him, he quietly retreated behind the bathroom door.

She lowered her head, hoping that he would pass by quickly and not see her.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yi came for her.

Cheng Yi took two steps at a time and stood in front of Lu Qian. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you hiding from me?"

"I……"

Lu Qian didn't know why he was avoiding Cheng Yi. It seemed like he was afraid that he would be angry?

"Are you still blaming me?"

Cheng Yi's tone was so compromising and gentle that Lu Qian actually felt a little pitiful.

Lu Qian pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

Is it strange? Probably not... After all, she rarely blames others.

Cheng Yichen sighed.

Lu Qian thought Cheng Yi didn't believe her, so she looked up and met his eyes, "Really not."

Cheng Yi smiled helplessly, raised his big hand and rubbed Lu Qian's head, "Are you hungry?"

Lu Qian nodded.

"I'll take you to dinner first."

Following Cheng Yi to the restaurant, Lu Qian was dumbfounded again.

It turns out that the man dressed as a chef was not lying.

The restaurant's environment is as beautiful as an indoor garden, with green plants and flowers neatly arranged, surrounding the entire restaurant with lush greenery.

On the beige European-style palace table, which is three or four meters long, various delicacies are laid out from beginning to end, including both Chinese and Western dishes.

The plates used to hold the dishes were even arranged according to the type of dish and regional style, which made Lu Qian dazzled.

On the food cart pushed by the chef behind him, there were still a wide variety of delicacies that had not yet been served.

Sui Tang and Qu Le sat lazily at the table, and everyone from Tavia stood behind the main seat.

Lu Qian was ashamed.

This... this breakfast is such a grand affair that if you didn't know, you would think it was a palace banquet.

Cheng Yi took the reserved Lu Qian's arm and walked towards the main seat at the dining table. He glanced at the newly added dining stool next to the main seat and curled his lips in satisfaction.

The servants behind him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the master seemed very satisfied.

Cheng Yi pulled Lu Qian's stool away and carried her up directly.

Lu Qian was almost pissed off at Cheng Yi. Does he have any sense of shame?

Seeing Lu Qian's angry expression, Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows, sat next to her, and put his arm around her waist threateningly.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Qian murmured in shame: "I'm not a child..."

Cheng Yi took the coffee, took a sip, and said casually, "You just recovered from your illness and have no energy."

"?" Doesn't Lu Qian know whether she has the strength or not?

Qu Le shook the cup in his hand and asked Lu Qian, "Xiao Qian, what would you like to drink? Would you like a glass of milk?"

Lu Qian waved his hands hurriedly, "I'll just drink some water."

Sui Tang also picked up the cup in his hand, "Are you sure you don't want a cup? The cattle raised in the mansion are well fed."

Lu Qian's expression was unnatural for a moment, and he said in a daze: "No, no, I really don't want to drink."

Milk... doesn't bring back any good memories for her.

When she was little, whenever her mother was about to send her to boarding school, she would warm up a packet of milk for her. In Lu Qian's eyes, milk was no different from her last meal before execution.

Sui Tang shrugged, "Okay."

Lu Qian hadn't eaten for almost three days while she was in a coma, so everything looked delicious to her now.

She grabbed the nearest sandwich and started chewing it without any regard for her appearance.

She's almost starving to death and still cares about her image.

This sandwich is now more important than gold, silver and treasures in Lu Qian's hands.

The servants behind him looked at this woman who ate and drank without restraint and winked at each other. Does the boss like this?

Cheng Yi looked at Lu Qian, whose mouth was full of bread, picked up the coffee cup and gently covered the corners of his lips, which were already smiling only slightly.

Only after Lu Qian finished eating most of the sandwich did he feel that his dazed expression had calmed down a little.

She picked up the water cup and took a sip, while looking at the people standing around her.

"Why don't you sit down and eat?"

Lu Qian asked doubtfully.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, "This..."

They always waited until Cheng Yi finished eating before eating. How could they dare to be on equal footing with the head of the family?

Anyway, there were so many dishes that Cheng Yi couldn't eat much.

Vanessa took over the question with a smile: "Miss Lu, don't worry. We will eat after the head of the family has finished eating."

Lu Qian didn't quite understand the trick and asked in confusion, "Why don't you eat all these dishes together?"

Just as Vanessa was about to explain, Cheng Yi took Lu Qian in his arms and asked, "Do you want them to sit down and eat together?"

Lu Qian nodded, "They were standing while I was sitting... I was not feeling well."

Cheng Yi put down his coffee and waved casually to everyone.

"sit."

Everyone looked at each other. Although they were a little afraid, they did not dare to disobey. They each found their familiar seat and sat down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this group of people sat down, a large group of servants gathered around the table, waiting to serve the food and pour the wine.

For a moment, Lu Qian felt that it would be better not to let them come up.

She was too embarrassed to speak, and didn't even dare to look closely at the food on the table.

Because as soon as her eyes swept over something, the servants would move the dishes in front of her at lightning speed.

She had no choice but to lower her head and concentrate on eating her sandwich.

This meal was extremely uncomfortable and thorny.

"Are you full?"

Cheng Yi looked at Lu Qian, who seemed a little dazed in his arms, and lowered his head to coax her softly.

"Ah?" Lu Qian looked up in panic, "I'm full!"

Cheng Yi chuckled, held her little head, leaned over and licked the corner of her mouth, and ate the remaining bread crumbs on her mouth.

Lu Qian was frightened by his extremely intimate action and pulled her head back, but Cheng Yi's big hand pulled her back with force.

Lu Qian frowned in shame and anger, raised her hand and pushed Cheng Yi, "What are you doing! Hooligan!"

Rogue?!

Everyone who was eating and the servants serving them were frightened by Lu Qian's words.

The movements of the hands stopped for a few seconds.

Cheng Yi cast a fierce glance at the table, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone, and uttered two words solemnly: "Eat."

Everyone then tactfully withdrew their gazes and continued to eat and serve food in a panic.

Cheng Yi lowered his head and looked at Lu Qian. He raised the corner of his mouth with a wicked smile and whispered in her ear: "You are well now. Is it time to go back to work now, my little maid?"

Lu Qian looked into Cheng Yi's eyes and always felt that his smile was a little naughty.

Is she going to wear the same outfit she wore two days ago?!

Seeing that she seemed a little scared, Cheng Yi raised his hand and rubbed Lu Qian's head.

"I had that suit thrown away."

What Lu Qian was worried about at the moment was not the whereabouts of the clothes, she was more worried about the person who prepared the clothes for her.

"Then...where's the head maid?"

Cheng Yi stood up and patted his clothes.

"I sent her on vacation."

Lu Qian was puzzled: "Vacation?"

"Send her out to get closer to nature and practice her patience."

When everyone heard Cheng Yi say this, the hairs on their bodies almost stood up.

That’s not being close to nature!

Tavia is a deserted island used exclusively for mercenary training. Except during the training period, no humanoid creatures will appear on the island.

Heat, viruses, parasites, wild animals, and countless poisonous plants.

The terrain is rugged and the climate is extreme. Human immunity will decline rapidly in such an environment, greatly increasing the mortality rate.

The only food available on the island is a fruit forest, and you'll need to cross a swamp filled with piranhas and electric eels.

Even the usually expressionless twin raccoon brothers swallowed silently.

This man should never be provoked.

Cheng Yi didn't give Lu Qian another chance to ask questions. He stretched out his big hand and held her waist.

"Let's go."
