Upon hearing this, Master Du merely smiled and remained silent.
Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, draping him in a warm golden glow.
Zhao Yu squinted her eyes, and at this moment, she almost felt like he was a savior descending from the clouds, someone mortals could never aspire to reach.
Just then, a servant rushed over with a big bag of candy.
Upon seeing the candy, Zhao Yu immediately forgot everything else, sneakily stuffing her pockets full of sweets, and then turned to Master Du, "You won’t tell my mom about this, will you?"
"Do you think your mom is a fool?" Master Du said in an indifferent tone.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yu asked, puzzled.
Master Du continued: "Whatever you do, she knows it clear as day in her heart. She just doesn’t bother to argue with a little girl like you."
"Who are you calling a little girl? I am clearly a big man, okay!" Zhao Yu said, puffing up with anger as she looked at him.
Master Du twirled his Buddha Beads, and the sunlight shone on the bright red beads, refracting a blinding light, making it hard for Zhao Yu to keep her eyes open. As if suddenly remembering something, she continued, "Right, do you know that these blood bodhi beads have another name called Sea Red Beans?"
"Sea Red Beans?" Master Du furrowed his brows slightly, asking with a puzzled face, "What are Sea Red Beans?"
Zhao Yu saw that he didn’t seem to be pretending and laughed loudly, "You don’t even know what Sea Red Beans are? You’re so ignorant! The alternative name for those blood bodhi beads in your hand is Sea Red Beans!"
If Master Du didn’t even know what Sea Red Beans are, how could he possibly understand the longing sentiment attached to them?
It seemed she had thought too much.
Zhao Yu’s eyes darted about.
After securing her candies, Zhao Yu followed Master Du inside the house.
Sure enough, when Ni Yang saw Zhao Yu’s bulging pockets, she didn’t say much.
At noon, Master Du and Du Jiaojiao took the two of them to the most famous restaurant in the ten-mile foreign trade area for lunch.
Jiuguo Restaurant.
Jiuguo Restaurant, a Chicago School Gothic-style building built at the beginning of the last century, consists of apartments featuring the style of nine countries, including a restaurant, Banquet Hall, multifunctional hall, bar, roof garden, and more.
Here, one can experience the opulence of a classical Western palace.
In her previous life as Boss Ni, Ni Yang was quite familiar with this place.
After leaving Jiuguo Restaurant, Xu Mantao looked up at the sun.
Did being busy today imply that tomorrow he might not be? Could he then approach Master Du to discuss business tomorrow?
Xu Mantao scratched his head, puzzled.
The people who followed Xu Mantao were also surprised, gathering around to ask him, "Mr. Xu, do you have some sort of private relationship with Master Du?"
Xu Mantao revealed a secretive smile, thinking it better not to disclose such matters.
Seeing this, everyone else exchanged looks of astonishment, their regard for Xu Mantao growing even more respectful.
Du Jiaojiao, walking behind Master Du, was also somewhat surprised.
She knew her younger brother all too well.
Apart from those close to him, it was usually impossible for others to approach him. Yet today, surprisingly, he had made an exception.
For whom could this be?
Du Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes and looked forward.
