Cheongsam nodded without question, but Xiao Lian stiffened. Her throat tightened as panic struck her chest. Mianmian going to her master… that meant new recipes, new secrets, more knowledge to add to the book that Gu Xuelan wanted so desperately.
And Xiao Lian had been tasked with getting it. But with over two hundred recipes… how long would it take? How many months would she need to spend here?
She bit her lip until she tasted blood, keeping her expression carefully neutral.
"I'll be leaving by evening time.." Mianmian continued, "I'll leave early. I'll be back Saturday afternoon after the appointment. Until then, Cheongsam, you'll hold the fort."
"Yes, Older sister Mianmian.." he said immediately.
Mianmian's eyes flickered to Xiao Lian. "And Xiao Lian. The restaurant won't be open until Sunday. So you can decided if you want to come or not.."
Xiao Lian bowed her head quickly. "I'll come boss, I'll be here when you're back."
