Chapter 387 - 385, three women in one play! Luofeng seems very flustered.

Yes! Luofeng hadn’t seen wrong.

The Shangguan Sisters were actually beside Bai Lu, seemingly helping her supervise the self-checkout machines.

What was this all about? Since when did the Shangguan Sisters start mingling with Bai Lu?

At least from what he could see now, Bai Lu and the Shangguan Sisters seemed to get along well. After all, it was evident from Bai Lu’s smile.

Frankly, even for Luofeng, it was only the second time he had seen Bai Lu smile. The first time was back at the welfare home. Back then, Bai Lu had a child-like, innocent smile on her face.

Why, for some reason, did seeing Bai Lu laughing and chatting with the Shangguan Sisters make him feel a bit panicked?

Luofeng quietly left and sought out Gu Yongjie. "Did you hire part-time staff to assist Bai Lu?"

"Ah? I’ve just hired two security guards," Gu Yongjie said.

Security guards? Then they definitely weren’t the Shangguan Sisters.

"Boss Luo, did something happen?"

"It’s nothing, I’ll handle it myself!"

Since Luofeng said it was nothing, Gu Yongjie wasn’t going to pry unnecessarily.

As it neared 11:30, the shopping frenzy at the supermarket finally began to die down.

Luofeng approached the checkout lanes once again.

Were the delightful pair, working in tandem, still there? This was too much!

Luofeng steeled himself and approached, greeting them calmly, "Shui Er, Fei Er, what brings you two here as well?"

"Brother-in-law, it’s your supermarket’s grand opening; we obviously came to show our support!" Shangguan Feier was the first to speak.

As soon as the term "Brother-in-law" was uttered, Luofeng noticed Bai Lu’s smile slowly fade away.

Shangguan Shui’er scolded, "Shangguan Feier, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Nonsense?" Shangguan Feier moved closer to Luofeng and affectionately hooked his arm; Luofeng even felt the softness of the Little Bear.

"So, sister, you refused him?" Shangguan Feier said provocatively.

But whether it was a veiled jab or not wasn’t entirely clear.

Bai Lu glanced at Shangguan Feier, her eyes calm. Perhaps Bai Lu believed that she and Luofeng were an impossibility and, as a result, concealed her feelings.

Shangguan Shui’er glanced at Bai Lu from the corner of her eye. Noticing Bai Lu showed no reaction and Luofeng was acting perfectly composed, she silently breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Luofeng truly wasn’t as the rumors suggested. Was he actually just sympathizing with Bai Lu?

Luofeng let Shangguan Feier cling to his arm and turned to Bai Lu. "How’s the job going? Are you used to it?"

Bai Lu nodded.

She had slipped back into her mute persona.

Seeing the fragile-looking Bai Lu, Luofeng checked with his System.

The Good Feeling Degree was 79.

It was still that difficult threshold to cross. Any further, and it would be just shy of lovers.

Seeing Bai Lu’s Good Feeling Degree hadn’t decreased, the corners of Luofeng’s mouth curled slightly upwards.

"It’s nearly 12 o’clock. Let’s go. We’ll head upstairs to try some Light Food," Luofeng said with a smile.

Shangguan Feier grabbed Luofeng, ready to leave. Shangguan Shui’er followed suit.

But Luofeng looked at Bai Lu. "What are you standing around for?"

Bai Lu looked at Luofeng in confusion.

"Let’s go!" Luofeng called out.

Bai Lu pointed at the self-checkout machines.

Luofeng almost wanted to cry at her perceived foolishness.Did she really think she was the only supervisor in the supermarket?

"Hurry up and follow me!" Luofeng said again.

Bai Lu could only follow silently.

Shangguan Feier suddenly leaned into Luofeng’s ear. "Brother-in-law, what kind of nurturing game are you playing?"

Luofeng’s earlobe was indeed tickled by this beauty, and he let out a soft gasp. "You sure know a lot, don’t you?"

"Hmph, I go online too, you know?" Shangguan Feier let go of Luofeng’s arm and moved next to Bai Lu.

Shangguan Feier was about 1.71 meters tall. Bai Lu was 1.6 meters tall. The two of them really did look like an adult and a child, not to mention the even taller Luofeng.

"Student Egret, I’m very curious, how much do you weigh?" Shangguan Feier whispered.

Bai Lu said in a low voice, "Just under forty kilograms!"

"Wow! That’s great!" Shangguan Feier said.

"Huh?" Bai Lu was puzzled.

"That’s the standard for being delicately reliant; boys love that!" Shangguan Feier slightly bowed her head, leaning into Bai Lu’s ear.

Luofeng also saw Bai Lu and Shangguan Feier whispering and asked, "What are you two talking about back there?"

"Nothing much!" Shangguan Feier said with a playful laugh.

"Bai Lu?" Luofeng looked at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu, perhaps thinking of something, glanced at Luofeng, her face flushed, and said nothing.

Delicately reliant, huh?

Bai Lu silently repeated to herself, then remembered the phrase.

"I was going to give each of you three a shopping card, but not anymore!" Luofeng said with a hmph.

Shangguan Feier immediately came to Luofeng’s side, coquettishly wrapped her arm around his, and pleaded, "Good Brother-in-law, don’t be like that, okay?"

Good heavens! Now she was calling him ’good Brother-in-law.’

Luofeng could only cough. COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!

After all, several boys nearby were looking at Luofeng and Shangguan Feier. Then they glanced at Shangguan Shui’er. They all seemed to be silently eating sour fruit.

This Shangguan Feier always liked to stir things up.

「At the Light Food Bar on the second floor.」

Luofeng chose a seat by the window. He scanned the QR code on the table with his phone. "Take a look and see what you’d like to eat!"

Shangguan Feier started picking, choosing an oil-free pan-fried steak, paired with oil-free pan-fried mushrooms and baby corn. Then she handed the phone back to Luofeng and also made a complaint, "Brother-in-law, you’re quite the shrewd businessman; this is so expensive!"

An oil-free pan-fried steak, paired with mushrooms and baby corn, was priced at 88 yuan per serving. Plus, a freshly squeezed Kiwi Fruit Juice cost 38 yuan. What seemed like a simple Light Food meal turned out to be more than 120 yuan.

Luofeng passed the phone to Shangguan Shui’er and looked at Bai Lu. "Order whatever you like to eat!"

Bai Lu nodded silently.

Luofeng responded to Shangguan Feier’s earlier comment, "This price is very reasonable, you know? Our steak is M4 or M5 grade Australian or Blade Beefsteak. The raw cost alone is forty yuan. Add the mushrooms, baby corn, and the superb Cooking—doesn’t that require labor? Even if we ignore operating costs, its total cost still exceeds 55 yuan.

"And our Kiwi Fruit Juice?" Luofeng continued. "We choose imported ones from New Zealand. Each glass is made from at least two fresh kiwis as raw material. Moreover, we never use spoiled fruit for juicing! Take apple juice, for example. If even a tiny part is bad, we don’t use it. Even if the spoiled part could be cut off and the rest used, we choose not to!"

Shangguan Feier said in surprise, "Then, can you even make money like that?"
