Chen Zao reached out and swiftly snatched Ma Zhao's phone away.
"There's no need to trouble you with this kind of thing!" he said decisively.
Ma Zhao was concerned about Chen Zao, a major client, fearing that Du Haitao and his gang might cause trouble for him, or even worse, harm him.
He was also worried that they might try to steal Chen Zao's business. "Why are you being so stubborn? Dealing with the Haitao Gang is really not a good idea!"
"I think you're the one being stubborn. For me, this is a matter of utmost importance! Building the Gourmet Empire is what truly matters! Just help me with my business and selling antiques, and don't worry about anything else!"
Ma Zhao felt insulted by the retort and huffed, "Got it," thinking to himself that it seemed like he loved to meddle.
But she really had to get involved in this matter.
It concerned her and the important interests of Dragon Lord and Treasure Hall. She couldn't let the Haitao Gang ruin this lucrative opportunity.
After some thought, Ma Zhao decided to go with Chen Zao to Sakura that evening. With her there, she believed the Haitao Gang wouldn't dare to do anything to Chen Zao.
"Those bastards, I have to teach them a lesson tonight. They actually made things uncomfortable for me and my girlfriend. We've only just started dating, and already there's trouble. It seems I'm really not cut out for relationships."
Feeling disheartened by the Haitao Gang's interference, the little excitement Chen Zao had just felt quickly vanished.
Ma Zhao, still troubled by the situation with the Haitao Gang, forced a smile and went along with Chen Zao, losing interest in trying to understand him further.
Once they dealt with the Haitao Gang, she would pretend to be friends with Chen Zao to win him over.
By around seven-thirty in the evening, the two finally arrived at Duo Yi Fang.
Zhuo Chugang and Triumph were already waiting for the two in the reserved private room.
Chen Zao received a reminder call from Zhuo Chugang and told Ma Zhao, who had just parked the car, "My two brothers are already here."
"Okay."
A charming smile returned to her delicate and sweet face as she temporarily set aside her worries. Ma Zhao turned around and gently adjusted Chen Zao's black shirt collar, just like a caring girlfriend would.
Snowy Eyes remarked softly, "Today we seem to be quite in sync, both wearing black clothes, like a couple."
Chen Zao glanced at his deep blue jeans and regretfully said, "If I had known, I would have worn black jeans."
"We already match well enough."
Ma Zhao's words felt insincere; she looked elegant and fashionable that evening, while Chen Zao's combination of jeans and a shirt appeared rather shabby. His right arm was wrapped in bandages, making him look quite pitiful.
From a purely fashion standpoint, they resembled a romantic and charming black lily stuck in a patch of yellow dirt; if that was considered a match, then the world was truly chaotic.
However, in terms of inner spirit and temperament, Chen Zao clearly overshadowed Ma Zhao.
When they walked together, Chen Zao resembled a heavy sword imbued with thunderous wrath, while Ma Zhao was like a romantic magpie fluttering beside him—light and heavy, it was evident which was which.
Chen Zao had previously mentioned that if she were to be his girlfriend, she should never cling to him too much. Ma Zhao learned her lesson and dared not act impulsively again.
After getting out of the car, she no longer clung to Chen Zao's arm like she did when they happily strolled through Meat Sandwich Shop. Instead, they walked one in front of the other into Duo Yi Fang.
Upon arriving at the Second Floor Private Room, Chen Zao gentlemanly opened the door for Ma Zhao, allowing the lady to enter first.
Ma Zhao gracefully stepped into the room.
Her bright eyes glanced towards Zhuo Chugang and Triumph, who were chatting casually while waiting. With a gentle smile that resembled a delicate flower, she captivated the two men inside, leaving them momentarily stunned.
Triumph, wearing black-rimmed glasses, initially appeared somewhat bookish and awkward, but his restrained gaze concealed a sharpness. He adjusted his glasses in disbelief at how beautiful the friend Chen Zao was introducing them to tonight. She looked like a star stepping into reality!
The moment Zhuo Chugang locked eyes with Ma Zhao, his mind was struck with astonishment!
He immediately stood up, showcasing his tall stature of over six feet three inches, and approached Ma Zhao to strike up a conversation: "Beautiful lady, you are...?"
"Sit down, you idiot!"
Chen Zao hurriedly waved at the excited Zhuo Chugang as he entered, urging him to calm down. As expected, he was overly excited upon seeing a beautiful woman.
Ma Zhao wore a friendly professional smile as she assessed Zhuo Chugang.
The man in the khaki shirt was indeed quite handsome, resembling a sunny beach boy who would naturally evoke fond feelings in women.
Even knowing he had a flirtatious nature, it was hard to feel any serious aversion towards him.
On the other hand, the young man in the striped shirt and square glasses was not particularly eye-catching but carried an air of maturity that belied his age, which was not off-putting.
In contrast, she found her "dim-witted" boyfriend next to her quite irritating.
But no matter how much she disliked it, he was still her boyfriend.
She had already boarded this pirate ship and couldn't get off.
Chen Zao confidently but carefully placed a hand on Ma Zhao's waist from behind, affectionately wrapping his arm around her waist as they approached the two stunned brothers.
"Let me introduce you, this is Ma Zhao, the owner of Treasure Hall and Antique Shop, who will also be our most important partner in the future."
"Ah! Zhao, you've been missing in action lately. You wouldn't have gone to the palace to invite this fairy, would you?" Zhuo Chugang could hardly sit still, eagerly showing off: "I never understood what it meant to be naturally beautiful without makeup, like the morning glow reflecting off the snow, nor did I grasp the saying about a beauty in the north whose glance can topple a city! But now that I've seen this stunning Zhao, I get it all!"
Chen Zao pretended to gag, acting as if she would throw up.
Triumph knew Zhuo Chugang's character but was also disgusted by his unusual excitement today, unable to hold back a laugh while covering his mouth.
Ma Zhao chuckled lightly, though her gaze lingered on Zhuo Chugang's face with a hint of amusement at his flattery.
Although she still felt resistant to this type of handsome guy who relied solely on his charm without any real strength, being praised by such a sunny and attractive man was amusing; she decided to take it lightly and found it quite entertaining.
Zhuo Chugang had an acute insight into women. Seeing Ma Zhao smile like that, he knew he had a chance! His eyes sparkled with excitement!
Ma Zhao realized she had given this lecherous man too much encouragement and immediately tilted her head with a light laugh towards Chen Zao, gently reminding him, "It seems you've forgotten to introduce my other identity."
Zhuo Chugang hurriedly jumped in to flatter her: "What other identity? You can't really be a fairy, can you?"
