Chapter 198 Long Time No See, Brother

• Agent Feng Rui saw the scene and moved to stop them. If the two of them went to grab breakfast like this, rumors would explode later. But before he could speak, the little troublemaker shot him a look, and the words died in his throat. Terrifying. Feng Rui could only signal the bodyguards to trail them, not too close, not too far.
• Rhea Wood took Ash Silkgrove to the cafeteria. Sunday mornings were usually dead there—no classes, a rare chance to relax, and who wanted to get up so early? But because Ash showed up, people flooded in, wave after wave, until the place felt like Mirage Market. Ash pointed at the food nonstop. “Miss Rhea, I want this, this, this, and these—everything…” He was like a kid who’d never seen the world, pointing at half the counter. Rhea frowned. “No. That’s too much. You won’t finish it, and it’ll go to waste.” Rhea was generous with friends, sure, but wasting food? No way. The cafeteria was packed now, and most people were staring at them. Ash stood out so much he practically glowed in the crowd; whether they knew him or not, eyes kept drifting over.
• Hearing Rhea turn him down, people bristled, ready to riot. “What’s wrong with our little angel wanting a few more dishes? Buy them!” “Rhea Wood, don’t be so stingy. My meal card’s loaded—I’ll pay!” “Oh my god, you won’t buy him something tasty? Our little angel looks so crestfallen. Rhea, you’re a stone-cold devil!” The fans were loud. Rhea really was stone-cold; she didn’t budge. Agent Feng Rui tensed up, about to step forward and just pay. This little troublemaker was always absolute—if he got refused, the fallout was brutal. Feng had only taken two steps when Ash nodded obediently and said, “Then I’ll have shredded pork with peppers, chilled cucumber, and a side of vegetable soup, okay?” Rhea nodded, easy and generous. “Sure. Add a tomato and beef brisket too.”
