âForget it, Mei Mei, itâs just a minor matter; letâs not trouble the young lady over this.â Na Na said, âYoung lady, the room isnât clean yet. Could this issue wait until after I finish cleaning?â
âNo,â Tan Rou once again rejected Na Naâs suggestion. âCome with me. If your statement doesnât match Little Changâs, you donât need to stay in the Tao family anymore. You can just pack your bedding and leave.â
Mei Mei also urged Na Na, âThis is a good opportunity. Didnât you say Little Chang was harassing you? Today we have the young lady to accompany us, so we can speak directly to her, and she will help us resolve it.â
Na Na looked at Mei Mei with aversion, wondering how she could have such a foolish friend. If it werenât for Mei Meiâs interference, Tan Rou might have already dropped the matter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLetâs go, donât waste time here,â Tan Rou said. âSince you claim that these were given to you by someone else, then letâs go and ask him. If itâs true that he gave you some pastries, then I wonât trouble you further.â
Although Na Na disagreed with confronting Little Chang, she still followed Tan Rou and the others. Before leaving, Na Na wanted to send a message to Little Chang, so she excused herself to use the restroom, to which Tan Rou agreed.
Na Na took the opportunity to send a message to Little Chang, asking him not to talk nonsense. But suddenly, the signal became very poor, and she couldnât send any messages. Additionally, using phones during work was not allowed, and it would be very difficult for Na Na to notify Little Chang afterward.
âWhat are you dawdling for?â Tan Rou asked with a smile. âAre you feeling guilty?â
Na Na pursed her lips and said, âIâ¦Iâm not feeling guilty at all. Just now, I was just thinking about the cleaning. If we all leave, who will come to clean?â
âYou donât need to worry about that; Iâll arrange for someone,â Tan Rou said, not wanting to waste more time. âCome on, follow me. After weâve talked, I still need to have breakfast and go to work. Donât delay my time.â
Na Na had no choice but to stop dawdling and follow behind Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu. She took out her phone, secretly sending a message to Little Chang, and even tried to make a voice call, but he didnât reply.
By the time Na Na reached the kitchen door, she remembered that Little Chang also didnât bring his phone to work and that he was too busy with his job to notice any messages from her.
Very coincidentally, just as Tan Rou and the others were about to enter, Little Chang came out holding fresh beans.
âYoung lady, what brings you here?â Little Chang greeted them with a smile. âHey, Na Na, why are you here too? Could it be that you missed me?â
âYouâre quite narcissistic,â Tan Rou said. âIâm asking you, did you bring Na Na a plate of pastries this morning?â
Little Chang admitted, âYes, I brought them to Na Na. She said that you, young lady, wanted to eat them, so I picked a few of the best-looking ones and put them on the plate. Young lady, how did you find the taste of the pastries? Are they comparable to the ones you make?â
âUnfortunately,â Tan Rou said, âI didnât taste any of the pastries because they were almost all eaten by someone before I woke up.â
Little Chang regretfully said, âThe remaining pastries have already been sent to the lady and others; I canât get you a few to try anymore. Why donât you wait a day? Once the beans dry tomorrow, I and the Grand Master can make some especially for you. However, since you didnât eat any pastries, who did eat them?â
âYou should ask Na Na about that,â Tan Rou glanced at Na Na. âNa Na, explain what happened with the pastries and cookies this morning?â
âCookies?â Like he had just remembered something, Little Chang said, âYoung lady, those were for Na Na. This morning, I was trying to make new cookies, but I failed. The odd batch couldnât be served to the ladies, so I gave them to Na Na to share with everyone.â
Na Na immediately retorted, âSo those cookies were meant for me; I misunderstood, thinking the pastries were for me as well.â
