Chapter 68: Midnight Chat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Zhan wanted to go out and take a shower out of habit, but he was in the inn, so the possibility of this idea being realized was not high.
He stood in the backyard for a long time in the cool wind, trying hard to shake his head and get rid of all the romantic thoughts in his mind.
The name of the restaurant suddenly appeared in Zhao Zhan’s mind.
Who was the man who was staring at his lover?
When he thought of this, all the messy thoughts in his mind disappeared. Suppressing such thoughts, he scooped a bowl of porridge for Yue Jiaojiao and brought it back to the room. Then, he prepared the bathwater for Jiaojiao. When the water temperature was warm enough, Yue Jiaojiao had just finished her bowl of porridge.
After everything was settled, Zhao Zhan waited for Yue Jiaojiao to fall into a deep sleep before he sneaked over to Manager Zhou’s door.

“There’s something I want to ask you, manager. Is it convenient to come in and talk about it?”
“Of course.”
Manager Zhou opened the door and walked inside to light the oil lamp. “Did something big happen?”
“Our conversation was cut short. I was curious and needed to know, is there a conflict between you and the real owner of Kelai Xiang.”
Zhao Zhan described what had happened in Kelai Xiang, and then said in a deep voice, “I suspect that the main family behind Kelai Xiang wants to get the secret recipe for tofu or steamed pork ribs from me.”
“A person who can think of such a way to fake a dish should have no shame. He knows that you got a new dish in just two hours. I think he must have eyes in the Huai Jing Inn.”
The more Manager Zhou listened, the darker his face became. In the end, he slammed his palm on the table in anger, no longer in the mood to sleep. “That man is too much!”
“Do you know who the other person is?”
Zhao Zhan observed Manager Zhou’s expression and probed, “Do you think you can tell me who he is? After all, we’re on the same boat now. If there’s a problem with one side, then no one can escape.”
Manager Zhou heaved a deep sigh.
“I don’t know where he came from either. I only know that people call him Master Lin. Five years ago, he wanted to buy my shop, but it was built by my ancestors, so I couldn’t sell it to him.
“After that, he bought another restaurant and changed its name to Kelai Xiang. I thought that it was over, but he’s a petty person who takes revenge for the smallest grievance.
“In the past few years, he’s been sending people to cause trouble and ruin the reputation of my restaurant. I had no choice but to transform the restaurant into an inn to avoid him. Later, because other restaurants opened in Huai County one after another, he had no time to keep an eye on me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Now it seems that he has been planting spies in these shops.”
Zhao Zhan’s eyes darkened.
Messing with an ordinary man’s possession of a jade pendant was a crime. He was too eager and did not expect to attract the attention of others.
However, no matter what, he couldn’t drag his lover into this.
With his mind occupied, Zhao Zhan tossed and turned on the soft couch for the entire night.
When Yue Jiaojiao woke up, breakfast was already on the table.
Hearing the commotion, Zhao Zhan adjusted the temperature of the water and sat on the foot of Yue Jiaojiao’s bed. “You’re awake? Do you want to walk around Huai County a little longer, or do you want us to hire a carriage to go back to Wangshan?”
The mountain gaze was his territory. If that Lin man really found Willow Village, then he, who was on the mountain, would make sure that he would not be able to return.
No one was more familiar with the mountain than he was.
He had to be stronger. For the first time, Zhao Zhan had such a strong desire to become stronger.
