Chapter 192: One More Chance

The Elder Princess felt a headache arising inside her head. She massaged her temples, thinking that she had been spoiling Anxi a little bit too much.

She should learn how to behave like a smart person.

She waved her hands. “Anyway, just compete with her, but don’t restrain your own abilities against her.”

***

At the restaurant.

After Fu Bao tossed County Princess Anxi and the gang from Restaurant Jixian out, Zhou Huaijin sized up Gu Chaoyan from head to toes, making sure that she was not injured. Only then was he assured.

Gu Chaoyan thought that he was way too exaggerating. She said, “Sword One and Sword Two are with me, I will be fine.”

“I am still worried even if they are with you.” Zhou Huaijin said straightforwardly, not minding snapping at the two guards of his own.

The faces of Sword One and Sword Two twitched. Why didn’t they realize that their lord was such a wife-protector before?

Sword One and Sword Two even thought that Lord Huai had no idea what love was and how to get on well with women, but now it seemed that it had been their own mistaken thoughts.

Nevertheless, Sword One and Sword Two were not saying this out loud. They did not dare to.

At this moment, their Lord, whom they assumed had no idea of how to get on well with women, was looking at Gu Chaoyan with a look of flattery. “Yan, what is the special dish you talked about? I hurried here just to try your special dish.”

Gu Chaoyan almost forgot about it when Anxi came to cause trouble.

“Where is the kitchen?”

“Lady Chaoyan, the kitchen is over there.” Manager Zhao of the restaurant stepped out and said courtesly.

He was a manager that had been well trained by Shadow Door. He would have been in charge of running the properties of Shadow Door if he were not assigned here. Shadow Door had extremely many properties in the capital.

Manager Zhao, who was assigned here to run the restaurant, was not particularly assured, especially after knowing that the owner was a young girl, but… After meeting with this new owner, he more or less approved of her position and abilities.

So now, he was showing respect and willingness to cooperate.

Gu Chaoyan was about to follow him when Zhou Huaijin’s cold voice arose. “No thanks. I am leading her there myself. Manager Zhao, go and pack your stuff, we are not keeping you.”

Manager Zhao looked surprised.

Did Lord mean… Did Lord mean that they were fired?

He looked at Gu Chaoyan with disbelief. He started to reevaluate the importance of Gu Chaoyan’s position at the moment.

“Lord!” Manager Zhao was both startled and anxious as he threw a pleading look at Gu Chaoyan. Manager Zhao knew pretty well what his lord was like. He was resolute and never changed his mind. Subcounsciously, he thought that this Lady Chaoyan would be able to help him.

Gu Chaoyan eventually said, “Just give them one more chance.”

Actually, she knew what Manager Zhao was thinking. The staff Zhou Huaijin arranged for her should not have been people with no abilities. Manager Zhao would not suddenly bend down to a new master and decide to work for her resolutely. Therefore, when County Princess Anxi was causing her trouble, they did not step out but watched the show from start to finish. And by the end of the show, they must have already accepted her.

That was not something unforgivable.

Gu Chaoyan was more than willing to be a nice person on this occasion.

“Yan, if you don’t like them, I can get a new batch of people.” Zhou Huaijin said. He was not at all happy about how Manager Zhao dealt with the situation.
