Chapter 60: Buying Fruits

For the next few days, Su Ruan has been accompanying her grandpa and the others in the orchard.

Other than picking up the fruits, there was also a space beside the orchard where a few workers were processing those fruits and turning them into other products. This way, they could prevent the fruit from spoilage. 

Su Ruan took a sip of the cherry juice and smacked her lips.

"How was it? Delicious, right?"

She raised her head and saw that her grandpa was looking at her expectantly. The corner of her lips tilted up into a smile. "Un. They are delicious."

"Then, you should drink a little more." Ma Hao Dong turned around and picked up the bottle of juice at the side.

Su Ruan looked at her grandpa and felt as if she was being pampered as if she was a little child. These days, her grandparents have been feeding her a lot of food that she started to feel that she ad gained some weight.

However, the food that her grandparents prepared was too good that she could not say no to them.

"Alright, dad, stop feeding her, or else, she might not be able to eat for dinner." Ma Zheng Zheng appeared at the side and heaved helplessly as she looked at her daughter.

"One more glass wouldn't hurt," Su Ruan said. She winked at her grandpa and watched as he helped her to pour another glass of drinks.

The family was having a good time when they heard a little commotion from the outside.

Ma Hao Dong frowned. He turned around and decided to check on what was going on.

Su Ruan exchanged a look with her mother and decided to follow her grandpa to look at what was going on.

When they came out, Su Ruan was surprised to see a group of people gathering around someone familiar.  Su Ruan had thought that she would only see Long Fei again this soon. After all, she was going to see him again in a few days as her cousin had already accepted his invitation to go fishing together.

But, what was this person doing here?

The workers started to make room to let Ma Hao Dong and the others come forward.

"Young Master Long," Ma Hao Dong stepped forward to greet him. "Why are you here?"

"Old Man Ma." Long Fei glanced at Su Ruan who was among the crowd before he looked at Ma Hao Dong again. "I'm sorry. I should have informed you earlier that I am coming to visit."

Ma Hao Dong waved his hand. "It's fine. Young Master Long, you are always welcome to our place whenever you want."

This man was his granddaughter's benefactor. Of course, Ma Hao Dong would be very polite to Long Fei.

"Previously, your granddaughter sent a box of cherries to my place," Long Fei spoke.

A few days ago, Ma Yu Xi had sent him a box of cherries to thank him for his help at the mountain. Long Fei had almost forgotten about this box of fruit until the auntie started to serve it to Song Wei to eat.

An idea came to his mind and he decided to bring this boy to the orchard.

Long Fei glanced at the boy beside him and smiled. "Coincidentally, we are having a guest at our place and he happened to like your fruits. Song Wei, didn't you say that you wanted to bring some fruits for your sister?"

Song Wei stared at the man beside him in puzzlement.

He only came to the town to learn a few things from this young master. Suddenly this man dragged him over to this orchard and said that he had some business.

Song Wei did not remember that he had said anything about buying cherries for his sister.

However, when he saw the look on Long Fei's face, Song Wei decided to go along with his words.

"Yes. That's right. I've tried your fruits and thought that they are too good," Song Wei played along. "I wanted to bring back a few of them for my family."

Su Ruan watched the man suspiciously but she could not find anything wrong.

Ma Hao Dong looked at this new customer and his expression lit up. "Then, let me help you to choose a few boxes of the fruits. How many boxes are you going to get?"

"Five boxes will be enough," Long Fei answered for him.

Song Wei stared back at Long Fei with a dazed look in his eyes.

What was he supposed to do with that many boxes of fruits? How was he supposed to carry them to the airport?

"Then, mister, please come with me," Ma Hao Dong said to Song Wei. "I'll show you around this place. Other than the fruits, we also have other products. If you liked it, you could pack a few of them home. I will give you a huge discount."

"Hmm…" Long Fei turned to Song Wei and nodded. "Go ahead and pick whatever you like. Don't worry about the money. I'll pay for everything."

Song Wei's eyes lit up. Since Long Fei was willing to pay for it, then, he shouldn't be too polite. He followed Ma Hao Dong into the building and found that Long Fei did not come over with him. He was about to turn around and call his idol, but Ma Hao Dong had already ushered him into the warehouse.

As Song Wei walked into the building, Long Fei took out his phone and dialed a number.

Seeing that Long Fei was on the phone, the onlookers began to disperse to give him space.

Long Fei watched Su Ruan from the corner of his eyes and finally hung out the phone call as he watched her turn around, heading into the room.

"Miss Su," Long Fei called before she could leave. He watched as she turned to look at him and smiled. "Is it alright if I take a look around this orchard?"

"Sure." Su Ruan scanned her surroundings, wanting to let one of the workers accompany Long Fei as he walked around. However, she soon found that the others had resumed their work.

"Su Ruan, go ahead and accompany him," Ma Zheng Zheng spoke. "Mom is just afraid that Young Master Long would get lost in there. Just don't go too far into the orchard."

Su Ruan hesitated for a few seconds and finally nodded.
