Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 2002 - 2003: How Strange...

The waiter felt wronged: "How could I have offended her? After all, she is the manager of our branch. Not only did I not offend her, I even helped her! Just last time, when a matchmaker wanted her to be someone’s concubine, I even helped scold them!"

"Since you didn’t offend her, then I don’t know."

"Then why doesn’t she talk to me? It’s really strange..."

At this moment, the vice manager came over, smiling as he asked, "What are you two secretly chatting about?"

The waiter then asked the vice manager.

The vice manager, like someone with insider knowledge, amusedly pointed upstairs, "It definitely has something to do with the young man upstairs. I see that Miss Huo listens to him especially well."

The waiter was even more puzzled: "From what you’re saying, it was Mr. An who told Miss Huo not to talk to me... But why? I didn’t offend him either."

The vice manager laughed: "You were so attentive to Miss Huo, and you didn’t offend him? His eyes are fixed on Miss Huo, surely you noticed that."

Thinking of how Mr. An sat in the corner of the first floor every day watching Huo Qingyi, the waiter finally understood, "So he was jealous, thinking I was interested in Miss Huo!"

"Not too slow, are you." The vice manager laughed as he stroked his goatee.

The waiter was curious: "Vice manager, quickly tell me, what is Mr. An’s background? I’m really dying of curiosity! Miss Huo is highly valued by the Building Master and was only sent here because of that. Why does she listen to Mr. An so much?"

The vice manager lowered his voice and said, "The last time the Right Protector came to inspect, I heard him say that Miss Huo was originally someone by the Young Master’s side. For some unknown reason, she was transferred here by the Building Master."

"Young Master?!" The waiter widened his eyes, covering his mouth in disbelief. "Could he be our Young Master?!"

The vice manager said, "Very likely." He paused, "Alright, let’s stop talking about this, it’s better to say less and do more, lest we find ourselves in trouble."

The waiter nodded quickly, "Mmm, mmm."

Since then, the waiter didn’t dare to be attentive toward Huo Qingyi anymore. Huo Qingyi had already promised Su Yixing not to talk to this waiter. Now that the waiter no longer spoke to her, she was relieved.

...

On April 10th, the new manager came to take over the Friends Return Inn. Huo Qingyi briefly transitioned some work to the new manager before departing with Su Yixing to return to Xiyun.

Before leaving Penggui Inn, Su Yixing also revealed his identity, making the members of Slayer Tower in the inn recognize him as the Young Master.

Su Yixing even walked to the waiter who had been particularly attentive to Huo Qingyi back then, and with a smile, patted the waiter’s shoulder.

The waiter was almost scared into kneeling before Su Yixing.

On the way back to Xiyun, Su Yixing, in high spirits, asked, "Did you think of me during the more than three months you were away?"

Huo Qingyi replied truthfully, "Having stayed by the Young Master’s side for so many years, suddenly being away, it’s hard not to think of the Young Master."

Knowing Huo Qingyi missed him, even if it wasn’t in that way, Su Yixing was still quite happy.

After a while, his smile faded, and he said lightly, "In the future, no one will make you leave me again. If you leave me again, I won’t let it slide as easily as this time."

Huo Qingyi was taken aback, then asked, "The Building Master won’t ask me to leave either?"

She wouldn’t leave him of her own accord, but if the Building Master told her to leave him, as a member of Slayer Tower, she would have to obey and leave.
