The next morning, Huanhuan was woken up by a knock on the door.

Xue Hui’s voice came through the door. “Huanhuan, wake up for breakfast.”

Huanhuan replied, “Okay.”

She struggled out of bed, put on her clothes in a daze, and staggered to the door of her room. She pulled it open.

Outside the door, Xue Hui saw that Huanhuan was still asleep. Her fair cheeks were still marked by the pillow, and her big eyes were covered in a layer of mist. Her cute appearance made Xue Hui’s hands itch again.

Unable to resist, she pinched Huanhuan’s cheek. “Aren’t you afraid you’ll be taken and sold?”

Huanhuan still looked confused. “Huh?”

“Forget it.” There was nothing she could do about her. “Go wash your face. Come eat after you’re done.”

“Okay.”

Xue Hui asked someone to bring hot water. Seeing that Huanhuan was still sleepy, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know how to wash your face? Do you want me to help you?”

Huanhuan said in a low voice, “I can do it myself.”

She splashed hot water on her face, and her muddled mind immediately sobered.

After washing her face, she took out a small comb and began to comb her hair.

Xue Hui looked at her small comb with great interest. “What is this thing?”

“It’s called a comb. It’s used for combing hair.” After Huanhuan finished, she handed her the comb. “If you like it, you can have it.”

Xue Hui took the comb and ran it through her hair twice. It felt very useful. She smiled. “Thank you!”

She wanted to find something else to give to Huanhuan as a return gift.

Huanhuan waved her hand. “This comb isn’t worth much. It’s just a piece of wood. I’ll get Bai Di to make one for me after this. If you like it, take it. You don’t have to return the favor.”

Xue Hui carefully put away the comb. She took Huanhuan’s hand and smiled. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to eat something delicious!!”

Upon hearing that there was delicious food, Huanhuan immediately became energetic.

She put on her veil and followed Xue Hui out of the lounge.

They walked down a long corridor and into a dining room with two low tables. The tables were already filled with food.

Xue Hui pulled Huanhuan to a seat at one of the tables.

There were no chairs or stools here. They all sat directly on the carpet.

Huanhuan realized that the food on the table in front of her was all vegetarian. There were only fruits and vegetables. The table opposite was filled with meat and bloody raw meat.

Before long, two beasts walked in one after another.

The beast in front looked middle-aged and had a mature charm. He had a friendly smile on his face and looked very easy to get along with.

After Xue Hui’s introduction, Huanhuan knew that this middle-aged male beast was the president of the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce, Jing Fu.

The young male beast behind Jing Fu was his son, Jing Liang.

Jing Liang looked quite similar to his father. He was tall with long legs, and his flaxen hair was tied into a ponytail. He had a pair of very seductive peach blossom eyes, and there was a small mole under his eyes. When he looked at people, there was always some affection in the corners of his eyes.

Huanhuan complained in her heart that he looked like an experienced lover.

The two sides greeted each other.

The Jing father and son sat behind the short table opposite.

Jing Fu and Xue Hui seemed to be very familiar with each other. As soon as they sat down, they chatted happily. The conversation was very broad, ranging from some interesting things in the world of business to some trivial matters in life.

Huanhuan’s face was covered by a veil, but that didn’t stop her from eating. She stuffed fruit into her mouth one after another and ate with relish.

Jing Liang couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw her eating like a squirrel.

Jing Fu noticed his son’s actions and turned to look at him. “What are you laughing at?”

“It’s nothing.” The smile on Jing Liang’s face did not fade. He kept looking at Huanhuan. “I just think this little female is quite cute when she eats.”

Jing Fu followed his gaze and saw Huanhuan, who was eating. He smiled kindly. “She’s indeed a cute little female.”

Huanhuan did not expect to be praised just by eating. She quickly put down the half-eaten fruit in her hand and nodded at Jing Fu in return.

Jing Fu asked, “Why do you have to wear a veil when you eat? Don’t you find it inconvenient?”

“No, I don’t think so. I think this is pretty good.”

Everyone had their own habits. Although Jing Fu found her behavior a little strange, he didn’t pursue the matter.

He smiled suavely. “A shop assistant came to tell me yesterday that Xue Hui had a friend come to the chamber of commerce. I was curious about who her friend was, so I specially asked her to invite you over for breakfast with us. I hope it wasn’t rude.”

Huanhuan quickly said, “You’re not being rude. I’m a guest. It’s only right for me to greet the host.”

Xue Hui smiled and said, “Huanhuan is the youngest child in our clan. She looks quite obedient, but she’s also quite mischievous at times. If she doesn’t do well in any way, I hope you won’t lower yourself to her level.”

Jing Fu said, “No, I think this child is much better than my brat!”

Jing Liang looked at his father helplessly. It was fine to praise the child, but why did he have to step on him too?

Xue Ran and Jing Fu continued to chat. Seeing that there was nothing else for them to do, Huanhuan continued to eat.

Jing Liang suddenly asked, “Are the fruits delicious?”

At first, Huanhuan didn’t know that he was talking to her. She didn’t even look up until he threw a bone at her.

She immediately looked up at Jing Liang behind the table opposite her and asked, “What is it?”

Jing Liang asked, “Are the fruits so delicious that you’re ignoring me?”

Huanhuan thought about it seriously. “They taste alright, but they’re not as delicious as the fruits my family grows.”

“You have fruit trees at home?”

“That’s right. Our family grows a lot of fragrant and crispy fruits. Previously, Mayne from your chamber of commerce even bought a lot of fruits and vegetables from our family.”

Not only Jing Liang, but even Jing Fu looked surprised.

Jing Fu asked, “Did your family grow the fruits and vegetables that Mayne bought recently?”

There was nothing difficult about this question. She nodded slowly. “Yes.”

Xue Hui also said, “Huanhuan’s family lives on the rock mountain. One of her mates is the leader of the Rock Wolf Tribe. The fruits and vegetables that your chamber of commerce sells are all bought from their family.”

Jing Fu only knew that the fruits and vegetables were selling very well. Every time they were delivered to the beast city, they would immediately be sold out. Now, they had already started to ration them, but the supply was still in short supply.

He did not expect those fruits and vegetables to come from the hometown of this little female in front of him. This was really a coincidence.
