Manager Zhou’s face was full of worry.

“May I know what illness your wife is suffering from? She seems a little weak. I know a few doctors in Huai County. Should I ask them to come and take a look at your wife? My assistant will help you keep an eye on the room. Sir, you can rest assured.”

“My wife isn’t sick. she has always been healthy. Don’t talk nonsense.”

It was rare for Zhao Zhan to reveal his emotions in front of outsiders. He looked at Manager Zhou with a slightly reprimanding look.

Zhao Zhan couldn’t help it, he was really talking nonsense!

Was the manager curing his lover?!

“Ah, look at my manners. I don’t know the full story so I’m talking nonsense.”

Manager Zhou was dumbfounded.

It turned out that she wasn’t sick, he was just happy to pamper his wife. After many years of running the inn, there were still many things that he did not know.

“Manager Zhou, is there something you need me for?” Zhao Zhan was a little anxious to buy the flatbread, so he went straight to the point. “It’s late now. it’s time for dinner.”

“I’ve received news today that Kelai Xiang made tofu. They were planning to put it up for sale tonight, but for some reason, they delayed it.” Manager Zhou’s tone was hesitant. “Do you know where the Rising Cloud Inn got the tofu?”

As he spoke, he observed Zhao Zhan’s expression, and then continued, “Sir, you might not know this, but the manager of Kelai Xiang is not the real owner.”

Zhao Zhan suddenly thought of the glance he had received in Kelai Xiang today.

Could it be that the person who was watching them the main man behind Kelai Xiang?

“Manager, manager!”

Suddenly, a waiter shouted from outside the door. Manager Zhou opened the door and said angrily, “What’s so important that you have to make such a big fuss?”

“Master Fang from Fang Yuan’s bodyguard agency is here. He specifically asked for our new dish.” The waiter looked scared and his voice was flustered. “How did he know about this? This dish will only be available for sale tomorrow.”

The person who wanted to come was actually an acquaintance.

Zhao Zhan’s brows furrowed, and he wanted to leave.

That Fang Tianlu was a muddleheaded fool. Zhao Zhan had already been targeted by others, and he didn’t want to cause any more trouble at this time, so as not to bring danger to his lover.

“Since he’s here, then let him stay in the main hall. The chef has tried this dish ten times today, and there’s no problem with the taste. Now that Master Fang is here just a little earlier than we expected, it saves me a lot of trouble thinking of how to lure him here.

“Listen, go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare the steamed pork ribs and meat for Master Fang.”

Manager Zhou hurriedly gave his instructions and turned to Zhao Zhan with an apologetic look. “I’m really sorry, sir. This matter has come too suddenly. I have to go and settle this matter first. If there’s anything else, can we talk about it later?”

Zhao Zhan nodded. “You’re too kind, Manager Zhou. Of course, you can.”

“Where is the manager!”

Zhao Zhan subconsciously turned around when he heard the voice.

“Master Fang, this is the backyard. You should go to the main hall and wait there!”

The waiter reached out to stop him, but he was forced to step back.

“Stop playing! Isn’t this just a backyard? It’s not like you’re hiding some lady that I’m not supposed to see.” Fang Tianlu pushed away the shop assistant in front of him and pointed at Zhao Zhan. “You actually let me catch you here. Last time in Wangshan Town, you ran too fast and I didn’t catch you. I didn’t expect you to actually come into my territory.”
