Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Seeing her like this, Fu Zhun's eyes were filled with indescribable heartache.

He ignored the pain on his face, raised his hand to touch Su An's face, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, frowned, and comforted her gently: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I made you worry."

It was nothing at first, but after being comforted by him, Su An felt even more aggrieved.

Big tears fell down.

Fu Zhun took her into his arms, slowly tightening his grip on her, cherishing the momentary peace.

After Su An's emotions calmed down a little, he explained in a hoarse voice.

"As for your family, how could I not care?"

"I have already secretly contacted the Queen Mother. She should have rescued them from the palace by now. It will just take some time to send them back. Just go back to Fuyou County and wait for them."

Fu Zhun always does what he says, and Su An has no doubt about it.

But having learned from the previous experience, she didn't dare let Fu Zhun leave easily again.

After letting go of each other, Su An looked at Fu Zhun with a red nose, and her voice was a little nasal because she had just cried.

"No, I'll wait here until you come back with them. If you break your promise to me again this time, I will never forgive you in my life."

Hearing this, Fu Zhun breathed a sigh of relief, curled his lips slightly, and rubbed her hair with a smile.

"Okay, I promise you."

After saying this, he gestured towards raising his hand.

The next moment, An Yi suddenly appeared from the darkness, landed in front of the two of them, and knelt on one knee.

"Your subordinate greets His Majesty!"

"Take good care of Miss Su here. Never leave her alone in the future. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong with her, you don't have to come to see me again!"

Fu Zhun looked down at him and his voice regained its authority.

Hearing this, An Yi quickly responded by clasping his fists.

"Your Highness's orders are obeyed!"

After making arrangements for Su An, Fu Zhun looked at her reluctantly, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

"Wait, pay..." Accurate.

But before she could finish her words, the person in front of her disappeared, leaving Su An standing there in a daze, her hands frozen in mid-air, her face looking a little lonely.

Be careful on the road and take care of yourself.

Su An silently recited the unspoken words in his heart.

He glanced at Su An and stood up to persuade him.

"Miss Su, it's getting late. We can't stay here for long. Let's find a place to rest nearby!"

Su An did not refuse. He and An Yi found a cave and stayed there reluctantly.

The next day, just after dawn, Su An woke up from her sleep. The aroma of meat wafted through her nostrils, and her stomach made a rumbling sound.

There are no wild fruits left in the woods at this time of year.

So An Yi took advantage of Su An's deep sleep and caught a wild rabbit from nearby.

The rabbit meat, which had been roasted on the fire for a full hour, looked golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and smelled very tempting. Without waiting for Su An to speak, An Yi handed over the rabbit and a water bag.

After eating and drinking, An Yi mentioned leaving.

"Miss Su, although this cave can shelter us from the wind and snow, it is still dark and damp. Why don't we return to Fuyou County first? With the prince and the queen mother here, my lady and the others will be safe."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Su An rejected him sternly.

"No, I made an agreement with Fu Zhun. He said he would bring my mother and the others back with him."

"What if I leave and he can't find me? I can't break my promise."

An Yi wanted to say something else, but hearing Su An's firm tone, he had to swallow the words back and continue waiting in the cave with Su An.

The sun rises and sets, and time flies.

Two days have passed since Fu Zhun left, but she still hasn't received any news from him.

Su An couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

It had only taken her and An Yi a day and a half to get here from the capital. Now two days had passed. They should have been able to leave even if they wanted to, but now there was no sign of them.

Could it be that they had an accident on the way?

The more she thought about it, the more her heart palpitated, and she had no choice but to leave the cave again and again and search around.

After waiting for another half a day, there was still no sign of anyone.

Su An could no longer sit still and made a move to rush towards the capital.

"No, something must have happened to them. I have to go and pay Zhun."

"Miss Su, you can't do that. Before the prince left, he instructed me not to let Miss Su return to the capital. Please don't make things difficult for me. As for the prince and his men, perhaps they were held up by something and were unable to arrive in time."

Hearing this, An Yi hurriedly stood in front of her and stretched out his hand to block her way.

Having said this, he considered his words and suggested leaving again.

"If Miss Su really can't wait, why not have me escort her back to Fuyou County first?"

But Su An is stubborn. How could she change her mind easily?

Her brows were furrowed, her eyes staring anxiously ahead, as if she was about to walk around him.

"If you want to go back, go back on your own! It's been so long and there's still no news. Something must have happened to Fu Zhun. Although in your eyes, he acts very cautiously and seems indestructible, he is also a human being and can get hurt."

"Besides, that dog emperor is insidious and cunning. He might have set a trap and is waiting to take away Fu Zhun Diamond."

"I absolutely cannot..."

Worried words came out of her mouth one after another.

But before she could utter the last sentence, she felt a pain on the back of her neck, and then her vision went black. She lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground.

An Yi behind her hurriedly caught her and whispered something.

"I'm sorry, Miss Su, I had no choice but to do this."

When Su An woke up again, she was already in the carriage.

Seeing her wake up, Su Yue hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, and threw herself into Su An's arms with red eyes. Su Yan and Su Jiang were also sitting not far from her.

I'm back, I'm glad I'm back.

Su An finally breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Su Yue tightly in his arms, and then stuck his head out of the window to look out.

They originally thought that Li Guihua was not riding in the same carriage with them.

But she looked around and didn't see Li Guihua, and she couldn't help but have a bad feeling in her heart.

She quickly placed her hand on Su Yue's shoulder and helped her out of her arms. She scanned their faces one by one and asked in confusion, "Where's Mom? Why can't I see Mom?"

It would have been fine if this had not been mentioned. As soon as it was mentioned, Su Yan clenched his fists and tears welled up in his eyes.

"My mother was captured by them. We had already escaped from the city, but then a group of soldiers appeared out of nowhere and chased us. My mother led the soldiers away so that we could escape."
