Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Under Fu Zhun's gaze, Su An touched the tip of his nose guiltily, forced out a dry laugh, and moved closer to him.

"Well, long time no see, I came to see you."

I just saw you yesterday, how can you say it’s been a long time?

What a lame excuse.

Fu Zhun found it funny and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

He put down what he was holding and looked at her deeply.

"I'm in good health and nothing serious is wrong with me. But you, I'm afraid you didn't come here just to tell me this, right? If you have anything to say, please speak frankly."

Nothing can be hidden from his eyes.

Su An scratched his head, sat down on a chair not far from him, poured him a cup of tea, and smiled sincerely.

"Your Highness is truly insightful. If that's the case, then I'll be frank."

"The prison is dark and damp, and the environment is truly terrible. Furthermore, Miss Li fell into the water yesterday and is already weak. Staying in the cell for too long might cause her to become ill, and in serious cases, it might even cost her life."

"Look, why don't you just release her first? If you're really worried, you can send someone to put her under house arrest."

When he heard her mention Li Wanyue, Fu Zhun's face instantly darkened.

The tenderness in his eyes was replaced by anger.

He shifted his gaze away, staring at the cup of tea beside him, and snorted softly against the back of his teeth.

"Did she ask you to plead for her? If her health is really that bad, then let her die in prison."

Su An was choked by his words and didn't know how to persuade him.

Does he hate Li Wanyue so much?

But then again, there can only be hate if there is love. Could it be that Fu Zhun couldn't forget his old love for Li Wanyue, so after knowing that Li Wanyue was with Chu Yi, he suddenly became hateful and took this opportunity to torture her?

very scary!

Thinking of this, Su An shook his head and sighed softly, feeling secretly in his heart.

She came out of her thoughts and looked at Fu Zhunshi again, her eyes changed.

Fu Zhun sipped his tea without saying a word, his expression looking extremely grim.

The room was too quiet.

Su An wanted to speak several times to break the silence, but when her eyes met his serious face, she suppressed her words.

Gossip is important, but life is obviously more important.

Gossip in moderation and cherish life!

She gently stroked her chest with her hand and suppressed her curiosity.

Noticing her subtle movements, Fu Zhun subconsciously glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that she looked solemn and a little uneasy, he couldn't help but reflect in his heart: Could it be that he was excited just now and looked too serious, which scared her?

Thinking of this possibility, his expression softened a little and he took the initiative to speak.

"You don't understand her, so it's inevitable that you'll be deceived by her. Just remember that she's good at pretending to be pitiful, so just ignore her in the future."

This immediately piqued Su An's interest, and he continued asking questions.

"So you know her very well! Fu Zhun, you're not still in love with Miss Li, so you hate her so much, right?"

As she spoke, she supported her head with her hands and stared straight at Fu Zhun, not missing any expression on his face.

Fu Zhun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and chuckled.

"If that's what you said, then my hatred for the Emperor is even greater than hers. Could it be that I also like the Emperor?"

Fu Zhun likes Chu Yi, this...

Hearing this, Su An couldn't help but imagine Fu Zhun's affectionate look towards Chu Yi, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing with his hands covering his lips.

The situation suddenly eased a lot.

Fu Zhun's pupils relaxed a little, he lowered his eyes and recalled the past.

"Do you know how my engagement with Li Wanyue was made?"

Hearing this, Su An was slightly stunned.

She used to think that they were in love with each other, but now looking at Fu Zhun's appearance, why does it seem like there is something else going on?

She shook her head honestly, put her arms on the table, and asked gossipingly.

"How was it decided?"

"Back then, she confessed her feelings to me in front of everyone, making the whole city know about it. But I had no feelings for her and didn't want to delay her, so I declined. I thought the matter would end there, but I didn't expect her to accidentally fall into the water and be rescued by me."

"I was only focused on saving her and didn't think too much about it. By the time I pulled her out, her clothes were soaking wet. I was afraid that this incident would affect her reputation, so I made an engagement with her."

Fu Zhun sighed, with a hint of bitterness in his tone.

What a cheesy hero-saving-beauty scene.

Just as she failed to confess her love, she fell into the water in front of him and was rescued by him. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

There is no doubt that this silly boy must have been tricked.

Su An couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But then again, since he was willing to get engaged to Li Wanyue, it must be because he had her in his heart.

Otherwise, if he really had no feelings for her, given his cold-blooded and ruthless nature, why would he care about her reputation?

Thinking of this, Su An suddenly felt a little sour and swollen in his heart.

She leaned back slightly, gently shook her calves, pursed her lips, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"As the saying goes, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beauty. If you don't like her, how could you be willing to marry her? After all, you still have her in your heart. If that's the case, and she has changed her mind now, why don't you take this opportunity to reconcile with her and make amends?"

"Don't blame me for not warning you. If you treat her like this, you'll end up in the crematorium after chasing your wife."

Fu Zhun didn’t understand what was meant by crematorium.

But he could sense the jealousy in Su An's words.

Seeing her looking at the door and then at the window, doing nothing but looking very busy, Fu Zhun couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, curved his thin lips, and made a teasing remark.

"You had sour soup dumplings this morning, so why are you saying something so sour?"

Being teased by him, Su An's face turned slightly red, and she turned around and glared at him angrily.

Afraid that she would really be angry, Fu Zhun curled his lips and chuckled, then hurriedly began to explain.

"My feelings towards her are nothing but pity and kindness, without any trace of romantic feelings mixed in. How can there be any regrets?"

"There is only one person I love from the beginning to the end. But right now I don't know how to win her heart. Why don't you give me some advice, young lady?"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tenderness, and it seemed as if his eyes were glued to Su An's face.

Stared at by his fiery gaze, Su An's face felt a little hot.

She quickly turned her eyes away, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her heartbeat quickened considerably.

Although Fu Zhun did not say it explicitly, both of them understood it tacitly.

He had confessed his feelings to her several times before, but she was hesitant and rejected him every time.

"You should figure this out yourself! Women's minds are like the sea. I'm stupid and can't guess what a girl is thinking."

Su An raised an eyebrow and responded vaguely.
