Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 842 A Man, A Boy, and A Dog
"What's 'okay' supposed to mean? Your legs were wobbling when you were walking earlier. What if you accidentally slip while climbing the mountain?"
Su Chen's face went serious as he said that. As for Xiaoxun, he could tell her situation was much better than Lin Ruoxue's.
That's normal, after all, Xiaoxun used to live near Tianshan. Walking long distances and climbing mountains were common for her.
"If you don't get on, I'll carry you up!"
Seeing Ruoxue still hesitating, Su Chen "threatened."
Hearing this, Lin Ruoxue had to let him carry her. She indeed couldn't walk anymore, let alone climb.
"Dahuang, clear the way ahead!"
Su Chen said, and Dahuang the dog happily ran ahead...
Then Su Chen carried Lin Ruoxue on his back while holding onto Xiaoxun with one hand and caught up.
At first, Lin Ruoxue was okay, but soon she blushed when she noticed Su Chen's hand dishonestly touching her round bottom...
In front of Xiaoxun, a little girl, she was too embarrassed to say anything. She could only reach out her delicate hand and fiercely pinch the flesh on Su Chen's back.
But Su Chen had thick skin, feeling nothing, which made Lin Ruoxue gnash her teeth in anger, yet she was helpless...
"We're here!"
Walking halfway up the mountain, a small courtyard appeared in front of the three, with a small wooden house inside.
"Woof woof woof~~!"
The big yellow dog carrying two bundles rushed in, barking non-stop, seeming both very happy and trying to tell the people inside someone had arrived.
"I wondered why Dahuang was so happy and kept running down the mountain. Turns out it's because you little rascal came back!"
At this moment, a light voice drifted out from inside. Though soft, it carried an immense piercing power!
Soon a figure came out of the house, an elder in a Taoist robe with a faint smile on his face.
This was precisely Su Chen's old master, named Gongsun Liang, with the Taoist name Lingxiao.
The name sounds quite grand, but it was completely different from the impression Gongsun Liang usually gave Su Chen.
"Your disciple greets Master!"
Su Chen immediately knelt down to pay his respects.
Though he often called the elder "old ghost," it had been so long since they last met, the first encounter still required proper kowtowing and respect.
Lin Ruoxue saw this and hurriedly knelt down too, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:
"Disciple's wife, Lin Ruoxue, greets Master!"
After she finished, her face turned completely red. She wasn't used to this kind of greeting and felt very embarrassed.
But rites should not be neglected; it was a must!
Xiaoxun saw both Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue kneeling and followed suit, though unsure what to say.
"Get up, all of you!"
Gongsun Liang gently raised his hand, his demeanor composed.
"Little girl, in a blink of an eye, you've grown so much, become a young lady."
Gongsun Liang said sentimentally as he looked at Lin Ruoxue.
"Master, you've seen me before?"
Lin Ruoxue asked in surprise. As for the form of address, of course, she followed Su Chen's lead.
"Otherwise, how would you two get married?"
Gongsun Liang smiled slightly:
"Let's all come inside first."
With that, he walked in, and Su Chen, Lin Ruoxue, and Xiaoxun entered with their suitcases and bundles.
Lin Ruoxue found that although the place was simple, it was quite spacious.
"Old ghost, look at the good stuff I brought you!"
Once inside, Su Chen opened the suitcases and bundles with a laugh.
Gongsun Liang, who had just been all serious, suddenly had his eyes light up!
"Is this thirty-year-old Huadiao?"
"This is deep-sea cod!"
"This is authentic wild boar meat from the Northeast!"
"This is white truffle from Alba Town!"
"And this caviar's not bad either, it's from wild sturgeon from the Caspian Sea!"
...
Each item Gongsun Liang picked up made his cloudy eyes gleam with brilliance!
He looked just like a miser who discovered a room full of gold and jewels!
Lin Ruoxue began to doubt Su Chen's earlier claim that his master was a foodie. After all, at first meeting, Gongsun Liang seemed quite otherworldly!
However, at this moment, she had no doubts left!
What amazed her even more was that the big yellow dog beside them also had gleaming eyes looking at the stuff!
"You little rascal, at least you still have some heart, thinking of your master!"
Gongsun Liang chuckled.
"Wait a second! Since when did this little rascal become so considerate?"
Gongsun Liang immediately furrowed his brow:
"It had to be your wife who prepared all this!"
"Old ghost, whatever my wife's is mine, isn't it the same? After all, it's the thought from both of us!"
Su Chen was not embarrassed at all even when exposed. He laughed cheekily.
Lin Ruoxue smiled quietly on the side, saying nothing.
Indeed, she had prepared all these things over the past few days and then had them shipped over.
Though these ingredients were rare, fortunately, Lin Ruoxue had no lack of money. Given the right price, no matter how rare the items were, she could get her hands on them.
Even so, it had taken quite some effort.
Seeing Gongsun Liang so satisfied now, she felt it was all worth it!
"You little rascal, still so shameless!"
Gongsun Liang curled his lips:
"Since you're back, hurry up and cook."
"Even Dahuang, the foodie, has been looking forward to your cooking for so long and has almost starved thin!"
"Who's shameless here, you clearly want to eat, but you're blaming the dog!"
Su Chen immediately curled his lips in disdain. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Woof woof!"
The big yellow dog barked twice as if to say, "Exactly, exactly!"
In front of Lin Ruoxue and Xiaoxun, Gongsun Liang felt embarrassed and kicked towards Dahuang:
"Stop barking, or I'll stew you!"
Dahuang dodged quickly, its body agile!
"Woof woof~~"
It then ran to the courtyard, continuing to bark at Gongsun Liang inside.
"Hurry up, get cooking!"
Gongsun Liang ignored the barking dog, annoyed, he told Su Chen.
Su Chen looked at Lin Ruoxue with a resentful look. He knew this would happen with all the stuff she brought!
Lin Ruoxue looked at Su Chen's grimace and smiled.
"I'll go lie down, you two look around."
Gongsun Liang said to Lin Ruoxue.
"Okay, Master."
She then saw Gongsun Liang lie down on a reclining chair at the door, bathed in the sunset.
The big yellow dog jumped onto him and lay down, closing its eyes slightly, soaking in the sun…
Lin Ruoxue then looked at Su Chen busy in the kitchen. She found the interaction among the elder, the young, and the dog quite interesting, feeling a sense of harmony…
