Chapter 279: Mysterious Organization (1/2)

Bai Luochu nodded slowly. Pei Rumo was right, for a person like Pei Qingfeng, it wouldn’t be surprising if he had several mysterious friends or identities.

Bai Luochu didn’t have anything else to ask and the atmosphere became stale. Pei Rumo was a person who didn’t know how to liven up the atmosphere and he allowed it to stagnate.

In the end, the two of them didn’t feel like sitting there anymore and Pei Rumo quickly spoke up, “Why don’t we leave? I still have a stack of imperial notices to handle. If I return any later, I might not be able to finish them.”

Bai Luochu was no longer in the mood to mess around after Pei Qingfeng had left. Since she was alone with Pei Rumo, she didn’t know what to say. After listening to Pei Rumo’s suggestion, she immediately agreed.

Pei Rumo was willing to spontaneously end this awkward meeting because he had sensed that Bai Luochu was finding it difficult to sit still. He also felt a little awkward and he understood that Bai Luochu wasn’t saying a word in order to not embarrass him. Furthermore, if the host suggested that they leave, she would be placed in an awkward position.

From the looks of it, Bai Luochu is indeed much better than Pei Qingfeng.

Pei Rumo shook his head and quickly dismissed the thoughts in his mind. Why did I think of her? It seems like I’m really obsessed.

Bai Luochu made the first move and prepared to settle the bill, but she was informed by the shopkeeper that someone had already paid the bill.

“Young Lady, the Young Master who left in a hurry paid the bill.”

Bai Luochu was rather surprised. She didn’t expect for Pei Qingfeng to remember to pay the bill even though he was in a rush. Whatever… Bai Luochu was someone who never loved taking advantage of others. She silently noted down his action and prepared to return the favor.

Pei Rumo felt even more uncomfortable as he didn’t expect for Pei Qingfeng to pay for the meal. It really made him look bad in front of Bai Luochu.

Right at this moment, Pei Qingfeng had already rushed back to his residence. He called out to his personal guard and asked, “Did our scouts send back any information?”

The personal guard saw that his master was anxious and was afraid that something had happened. “Master, this subordinate didn’t receive any information from our secret guards... What happened to you? Did someone mess with Young Lady Luo Chu?”

Pei Qingfeng shook his head before letting out a long sigh. “Sigh, I was having a meal with Luoluo and guess who I saw?”
