Chapter 1875

"Don't worry, you're absolutely perfect, they'll like you."

"Hehe, that's good. I brought them gifts too, they should like them."

"Gifts? What gifts?"

"Hehe, I'm not telling."

"Alright then, let's go."

"Mm."

The two of them went straight to Penglai Town.

Gu Qing and the others were already prepared.

Although the supplies produced within Zhao Chi's territory were limited, Su Qin would help purchase large batches of supplies from time to time.

Ever since he had Su Qin, Zhao Chi no longer had to handle these miscellaneous chores himself.

After all, these women had many little odds and ends they wanted to buy.

None of them were expensive, just very miscellaneous and plentiful.

Zhao Chi used to find it a real headache.

Now whenever Gu Qing and the others needed something, they would just tell Su Qin directly. Su Qin would understand at once and go make the purchases all at once—very efficient.

Su Qin was also very willing to do these things.

First floor of the Wind Chant Tower.

This place had originally been a stage, but now it had been partitioned into several rooms.

These rooms had no special function.

They were normally used as a meeting room.

Now Gu Qing and the others had laid out an entire large table full of food.

Although it certainly couldn't compare to a professional chef outside, the original purpose of doing this was never about the taste—it was to make the show of effort look thoroughly sufficient.

This could represent how much they valued Li Ruanyu.

The moment Li Ruanyu entered the room, Gu Qing and the others looked over.

Zhao Chi was a little worried about running into a shura field, so he quickly scanned their gazes.

Although Zhao Chi couldn't read some of the women's thoughts, from the looks they exchanged with one another, he could tell they were all gazes of appreciation.

"Oh, Sister Ruanyu, you're here! Welcome, welcome! My lord, why didn't you say something? We could have gone outside to welcome you."

Gu Qing hurried over.

Li Ruanyu smiled and said, "You must be Gu Qing, right? Zhao Chi said your eyes are the most beautiful in the world under heaven—and indeed, they're extraordinary."

There was even such a thing?

Gu Qing's heart leaped with joy, and she swiftly glanced at Zhao Chi.

Then she said, "It's not that exaggerated. My lord Zhao Chi was just teasing me. She always praises Sister Ruanyu's noble bearing in front of us few, and only today meeting you do I know he wasn't exaggerating at all."

Oh?

Zhao Chi was actually praising me behind my back?

Li Ruanyu was also a little pleased inside, and likewise glanced at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi was completely dumbfounded.

Did I actually say these things?

When did I ever say these things?

Although Zhao Chi wasn't exactly clever, he still knew you shouldn't praise one woman in front of another.

So he couldn't possibly have said such things.

Both of those lines were made up by these two women to flatter each other.

Still, Zhao Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that they were willing to make up such flattering words meant they still valued each other.

At this moment Tang Ruan pulled out a chair: "Sister Ruanyu, come sit over here."

Li Ruanyu nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Tang Ruan."

"Huh? You know me?"

Tang Ruan looked utterly incredulous.

Li Ruanyu burst out laughing: "Sure enough, very cute."

"R-really? That's what my lord said about me?" Tang Ruan was pleasantly surprised.

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Yes, and I also know that the lovely little sister beside you is Qi Yue, right?"

Qi Yue nodded: "Yes, Sister Ruanyu, try this milk—it's a local specialty here, very rich and mellow. Do you need some sugar?"

Li Ruanyu shook her head with a smile: "No sugar for me. I'm not as young as you girls—eating a little something makes me gain weight easily. I really envy you."

"Not at all, Sister Ruanyu, you're absolutely perfect." Qi Yue poured the milk full.

At this moment, the door opened gently, and Zhuang Ya came in from outside.

She was also carrying a plate of roasted meat in her hands.

"Oh? This is… Sister Ruanyu has arrived?"
