Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"I didn't..." Fu Zhun opened his lips in a ridiculous manner, but Su An had already pushed him out the door.

It was dusk, the sky was filled with yellow clouds, and the streets were filled with the faint scent of fireworks.

"It's indeed a beautiful scenery." Su An said with a smile, feeling relaxed for a rare moment.

She has been busy trying to grow bigger and stronger lately and hasn't had much time to rest.

"Hmm." Fu Zhun responded absentmindedly. He had no interest in the surrounding scenery. Instead, his attention was on Su An.

After a moment's silence, he took the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering him all day.

"What do you think of He Cheng?"

He spoke in a light tone, as if he was mentioning it casually, which caught Su An off guard and made him stunned.

But after realizing it, her expression was immediately filled with disgust. "Why bring up that unlucky thing for no reason? Forget about my opinion. Looking at him for even one more second is polluting my eyes."

Just talking about it made her shudder with nausea.

Fu Zhun couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and then said, "But I heard that you two once made a solemn oath of marriage. Can you really break up?"

"Stop it now!"

Su An waved his hand in disgust, "No matter how badly the mountains collapse, the earth cracks, the sea dries up, and the rocks crumble, there's absolutely no chance for him and me!"

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared in Fu Zhun's eyes, and his previous gloomy mood disappeared.

"That's perfect..." he whispered.

Su An didn't hear clearly, and frowned slightly, then leaned over and asked, "What did you say?"

As she moved, a strand of hair wrapped in fragrance brushed Fu Zhun's cheek.

He was startled and tilted his head slightly, meeting the girl's clear and bright eyes.

My heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly started beating faster and faster uncontrollably.

Fu Zhun's black eyes flickered, and he was about to open his lips when he suddenly noticed something strange behind him. He immediately stretched out his arms and brought Su An into his arms.

Su An blinked in confusion, his hands resting against his strong chest, and then he heard his cold voice say, "Someone is following us, and there are quite a few of them."

"What?" Su An didn't have time to react with a girlish heart. She immediately sounded the alarm and glanced behind her.

The group of people didn't seem to intend to hide their whereabouts. They appeared from the street corners one after another and quickly gathered into six people to surround them.

The leading man was strong and sturdy. He looked away from Fu Zhun with disdain, as if he didn't take it seriously. He just looked at Su An evilly and whistled in a scoundrelly manner.

"My dear lady, you are not bad looking. Are you interested in becoming my eighth concubine?"

Shitou smiled lewdly as he directed his five younger brothers to surround the two of them.

"It's your great fortune that our boss has taken a fancy to you, girl. Why are you just standing there? Why don't you take the initiative and throw yourself into his arms?"

The younger brother even started to make trouble with bad intentions.

Su An frowned and looked at Fu Zhun, both of them felt something was wrong.

The words these guys said seemed like hooligans, but their faces were filled with anger, and they looked like they were here to fight or cause trouble, not to seduce anyone.

"Hey, you dead cripple, how dare you hug the woman I like!"

Shi Tou couldn't wait any longer, and reached out to grab Su An while cursing.

"You dare!" Fu Zhun growled, his eyes suddenly cold, and he was about to swing the hidden blade at his fingertips.

However, at this moment, a figure nearby rushed out at the perfect moment and punched the stone, "How dare this bastard touch Xiao An!"

Su An was stunned for a moment. This disgusting sound was——

What success!

He Cheng still had one arm hanging. After angrily knocking down the stone, he looked at her nervously.

"Xiao An, are you okay? I just happened to see you surrounded by these hooligans and rushed over to save you!"

"You? Save me?"

Su An looked at He Cheng with a concerned look on his face, then at the stone lying on the ground. Suddenly, an idea came to him and he curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically.

Great, case solved!

She asked where the weird feeling of this group of thugs came from, and it turned out that it was a drama directed and acted by this scumbag!

She held down Fu Zhun's restless hand, stared at He Cheng and sneered sarcastically, "Alright then, go ahead. It's up to you."

He Cheng didn't wait to see Su An's grateful look as he imagined, and immediately cursed in his heart, thinking that his strength was not enough!

He quickly gave Shi Tou a wink.

Shitou's howling stopped immediately. He flipped over and stood up, glaring at He Cheng and roaring, "Where did you come from, you little brat? You think you can be a hero and save the damsel in distress?"

"Brothers, come on! Beat this fearless guy!"

Everyone shouted and immediately surrounded He Cheng and beat him up. He Cheng fought back bravely at first, but was beaten to the ground in a few strokes, screaming in pain.

However, even so, he still endured the injury and stood in front of Su An without hesitation, "You can hit me! As long as you don't make things difficult for Xiao An, it doesn't matter if you take my life!"

This voice was so affectionate and righteous that Su An felt more and more mocking the more he watched it.

Fu Zhun had already understood it, but he still had an unhappy look on his face and had no intention of enjoying the drama.

Tsk, what a cunning villain!

"Boss, this guy is dying. If we keep fighting, we might lose lives. It's not worth it!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, one of the younger brothers hurriedly said, "He's really crazy, why don't we just forget it!"

Shitou was pulled back and stopped, then spat viciously at He Cheng, "Hmph, I'll let you go today, kid. Remember to stay away from me next time, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

"Let's retreat!"

Seeing this, Su An finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This smile immediately stunned He Cheng, who was about to play the victim, and the people who were about to leave.

He Cheng's face was bruised and swollen, and he hurriedly comforted him, "Xiao An, are you scared? Don't be afraid, I've already chased them away..."

"Does he look down on our IQ?" Su An ignored him and turned to ask Fu Zhun.

Fu Zhun nodded slightly, the disdain in his eyes seeming to become real, "Maybe he thinks everyone else is blind."

Su An nodded with a half-smile, "More than that, it's so fake that it's disgusting. The gangsters should have arrested me at this time so that they can better save the beauty, right?"

"Look at the pig's blood on his face, it's still dripping, poof—"

Su An really couldn't help it. He pointed at He Cheng's face that was bleeding like pig blood and laughed so hard.

Fu Zhun only glanced at them and commented, "Their punches are fake, and they're just taking advantage of the opportunity to smear the pig's blood."

What the two said made He Cheng's face turn purple, and the gangsters over there looked at each other in embarrassment.

They acted so hard, but in the end no one was fooled?

So, was I just treated like a monkey?!

He Cheng was filled with resentment and said in a low voice, "Xiao An, what are you talking about? I was almost beaten to death trying to save you!"
