The male protagonist is a black heart lotus

Chapter 6

“Does Officer Zhang dislike Lu Cha?”

Xu Lu Cha bit his lower lip, looking vulnerable. He lowered his head, on the verge of tears.

However, after waiting for a long time without receiving a response, he looked up only to find that the person had already walked far away.

Xu Lu Cha kicked the table leg in embarrassment and anger, but it wasn’t enough to relieve his resentment. He swept the food box off the table, sending it crashing to the ground.

Zi Yi was startled and quickly stood up, “Young Master, mind your image.”

Xu Lu Cha looked around and saw that people were starting to pay attention to them. He forcibly suppressed his anger and put on a face full of grievance.

He wiped his tears with a handkerchief, his teary eyes scanning the surrounding pedestrians, then stood up, covered his face, and ran off in tears.

Zhang Meng returned to the yamen and immediately rushed to the kitchen to cook.

As usual, Jin Yue came to her side to help her scoop water and wash vegetables.

“Zhang Meng, the boss is in a bad mood today.”

“Oh.” Zhang Meng was cutting meat and casually responded.

“I heard it’s because the boss’s elder sister is coming to Yun City. It’s said she’s coming to force the boss to get married. You know, the boss has a fiancé in Yan City who she’s already engaged to.”

“Getting married is a good thing. Why is the boss unhappy? Could it be that the boss doesn’t like her fiancé?” Zhang Meng threw the meat into the pot and covered the lid.

Jin Yue shook her head, “I don’t know about that.”

After finishing the meal preparations, Zhang Meng rang the dinner bell, and the people of the yamen hurried to the kitchen.

“Zhang Meng, when the boss comes later, be careful not to anger her again. She’s like a bomb today, easily set off.” Jin Yue said while serving the rice.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Meng also felt a bit uneasy, “Should I just take my meal back to my room to eat? The boss has always disliked me. No matter how careful I am, I can never please her.”

“Don’t do that. If you take your meal back to your room, the boss will definitely say your behavior is terrible and not conducive to creating a harmonious yamen. When the time comes, just eat quietly without saying a word.”

Zhang Meng took it to heart. So, at mealtime, she sat with Jin Yue in the corner of the dining table, not saying a word.

During the meal, the boss’s gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept over to Zhang Meng’s side. Zhang Meng kept her eyes down, letting her look without paying any attention to her.

After finishing the meal, just as Zhang Meng was about to get water to wash the dishes, Zhong Huo called out to her.

“Zhang Meng, come with me for a moment.”

What was bound to come would come, no matter how much one tried to avoid it.

Jin Yue looked at Zhang Meng with sympathetic eyes. Zhang Meng made a heartbroken gesture to her, then obediently followed Zhong Huo out of the kitchen.

“Boss, what did you call me for?”

Zhang Meng followed Zhong Huo to the backyard. Seeing Zhong Huo keep her head down without saying a word, Zhang Meng couldn’t help but ask.

Zhong Huo clenched her fists, looking a bit nervous as she spoke, “Zhang Meng, what do you think about my marriage?”

“It’s a good thing. Remember to invite us for the wedding feast when the time comes.”
