Because of this love, I left my beloved family, making Dad grow white hair and my second brother almost cast the forbidden curse. Fortunately, it was not successful.
“I am protected and loved by Dad and my brother. My love is precious too. Why should I lay it at his feet for him to trample?”
“I still love him, but Dad, I can no longer love him freely and completely. Such a love that cannot be sincere, I do not want it anymore.”
Situ Jin’s eyes were full of pride and relief.
“Feng’er, don’t go home for now,” he said.
“Dad, you agree?” Ru Feng was disbelieving.
Situ Jin stroked her hair and asked, “Feng’er, who loves you most in this world?”
“Second brother,” she answered.
“I see,” Situ Jin muttered, “If it’s him, you will never be sad again.”
“Dad?” Ru Feng looked puzzled.
Situ Jin patted her head, “Let’s go. If you still want to enjoy your current work, be a good Qiu Ru Feng for now. Call Dad if anything happens, and don’t forget the card’s password.”
Ru Feng rolled her eyes, knowing that if her brothers found out she was back, she wouldn’t be able to work at all; they would lecture her for breaking a sweat.
Master Jiang, let’s give it a try!”
The master’s head was covered with bumps. “What if we fail? Are you going to compensate for the wasted materials?”
Ru Feng smiled and nodded vigorously, “I’ll compensate.”
She was thankful that her father had given her a card yesterday; otherwise, if she failed, she couldn’t afford to pay.
She sat in the corner, eagerly watching the direction from which the cake would emerge. The steam in the room caused sweat to bead on her forehead. Jiang Master turned back and looked at her, softening slightly, “Ru Feng, are you scared?”
Ru Feng wiped away her sweat, “No.”
Jiang Master smiled, “It’s okay. Even if we fail, the pumpkin is still a good thing. It’s rich in B6 and iron, helping the body convert stored blood sugar into glucose, the only fuel for the brain.”
Her eyes sparkling, Ru Feng nodded, “Yes! It will improve mood. I can ask my future sister-in-law to take it to my second brother.”
