The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 654: A Middle Aged Man Wants Her For His Son

So, only her children became the bloodline of the royal family. The empress dowager could not blame Bai Xifeng for that reason.

"Grandmother, I want her back. What should I do?" Liu Jun asked for his grandmother’s advice.

"When she likes you before, you despise her. Now, when she despises you, you like her. You need to accept that she is no longer like you. You need to let her go." The empress dowager stated.

"But..." Liu Jun wanted to argue but the grandmother cut him off.

"She is happy with her life now. You should not disturb that. And you did not like her but you just like her competent." The empress dowager said.

Liu Jun was speechless. Even his grandmother did not support him.

....

Bai Xifeng and Xiao Li got off the carriage that the empress dowager prepared for them. They got off the carriage before they arrived General Bai’s Residence.

"Lady Bai, is it okay for me to drop you here?" The coachman asked.

He had been ordered to drop Lady Bai and her maid to the General Bai Residence. This was definitely not the General Bai Residence. He was afraid to get punished for not following the order.

"It’s fine. It is me who wants you to drop me here." Bai Xifeng said.

The coachman bowed to Bai Xifeng and drove the carriage away. Bai Xifeng was planning to go her teahouse to eat some dessert before going back. That was why she asked the coachman to drop her there.

They entered the teahouse. The waiter definitely recognize Bai Xifeng.

"Lady Bai, what are you doing here?" The waiter asked.

"Do you have one empty table? I am craving for some dessert." Bai Xifeng said.

"All of the rooms have been occupied. We only have the table in the first floor." The waiter said.

"First floor is fine." Bai Xifeng said.

The waiter led Bai Xifeng and Xiao Li to an empty table. It was perfect place because it located at the corner.

"Bring me all of the desserts that you have." Bai Xifeng made the order.

"Yes, Lady Bai." The waiter nodded.

Some customers glanced at Bai Xifeng’s direction. Some of them recognized them. Some were not. The ones who did not recognize her were not from this city. They were surprised to see a beauty like her. They had some kind of intention toward her.

So, one of them approached Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng, who was talking about the empress dowager with Xiao Li stopped mid way when she noticed two men, one middle aged man and another one was a young man, probably at the same age as Bai Xifeng, coming toward her.

"Hello, you two." The middle aged man greeted Bai Xifeng and Xiao Li.

"Yes? Is there something that you want from us?" Bai Xifeng said.

"I am Luo Zheng and this is my son, Luo Zian. My son is interested in you." Lou Zheng introduced themselves and told Bai Xifeng their intention.

"I am sorry to inform you that I am already engaged to someone else." Bai Xifeng kindly informed them.

"What? You are not telling me that just to send us away, are you?" Luo Zheng’s tone became slightly irritated. Then, he began to brag about who they were. "We are from Shengu City. I am the city mayor. You will be happy if you come with us."

"My lady’s name is Bai Xifeng. Her father is Bai Xiang, known as General Bai." Xiao Li stood up and introduced Bai Xifeng to father and son.

As soon as the father and son knew that the person that they wanted to impress was the daughter of the famous General Bai, they were shocked. They immediately excused themselves.

Some customers who watched the situation laughed at the father and son. Some of them were also surprised because they did not expect to see General Bai’s daughter and how beautiful his daughter was.

"Master, why are you here?" Fu Peizhi spotted Bai Xifeng.

"Of course, I come to eat." Bai Xifeng said.

The waiters arrived with all of the desserts. Bai Xifeng’s eyes lifted up when she saw the desserts. Fu Peizhi was a bit speechless. Usually the owner came to the shop to inspect the shop. It was different for him. His store owner came here just to enjoy the desserts.

Fu Peizhi looked at Xiao Li. Xiao Li just smiled.

"Enjoy your desserts, Master." Fu Peizhi said.

He was about to leave when Bai Xifeng stopped her.

"Wait." Bai Xifeng said.

"Yes, Master?" Fu Peizhi turned back and looked at Bai Xifeng.

"Tell Tian Ning to come and see me tonight." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Yes, Master." Fu Peizhi nodded.

After that, Bai Xifeng enjoyed her desserts without distraction from others. Some of the customers had been watching her but she did not care. After finished everything, Bai Xifeng went to the counter to pay for what she ate.

Fu Peizhi was at the counter. He was surprised when Bai Xifeng told him that she wanted to make the payment and asked him how much for everything.

"Do you still need to pay?" Fu Peizhi asked.

"Of course. I eat here." Bai Xifeng stated the fact.

"But you are the owner." Fu Peizhi said.

"It does not matter. The desserts that I eat earlier still need to be paid. It needs to calculate properly. Hurry up." Bai Xifeng urged Fu Peizhi to tell her how much that she needed to pay.
