WARNING! Tsundere President - Chapter 445

It was a 40-minute drive before Lu Zhaoyang spotted the large cherry drawn on an oak sign with name of the plantation written in colorful and childishly drawn letters. The place was filled with people, pairs or a family of them. No one really visited the cherry plantation alone it seemed.

Except for Lu Zhaoyang herself.

Technically there were no entry fees, no tickets. Visitors could simply go in during the operation hours and pluck all the cherries they liked but they had to pay according to the weight of their “harvest”, of course.

The cherries were known to be of premium quality and Zhaoyang must agree they smelled and —tasted pretty good, judging from the expression of the people who sneaked a few cherries into their mouth. The price was “premium” as well.

Zhaoyang picked a basket at the counter and sauntered along the narrow, dense rows of cherry shrubs. The trees closest to the entrance were obviously all stripped of what they had. So she could only head beyond the shelter, deeper towards the mountain.

She felt sorry for those visitors who lingered at the front part of the plantation as she saw these juicy and beautiful rubies scattered deep in the forest. The scenery was gorgeous, the cherries were huge and most importantly there were not many people to spoil her moment.

If only Huo Yunting was here…

She thought.

“Ahhhhhh!!” It was a scream that shocked her from the back. She let go of the cherries on the tree next to her and turned only to see Yan Se with a basket as well.

“Are you trying to fright me dead?” Zhaoyang sighed in relief as she looked down, “Did you come straight over here? Why have you not plucked anything?” The basket was empty.

“I did. Just that they all went into my mouth.” Like a hamster Yan Se was, indeed. The lady bodyguard felt starstruck the moment she noticed the basket full of cherries in Zhaoyang’s hand, “Ma’am…”

“Don’t you even think about it,” Zhaoyang withdrew the basket from Yan Se’s sight, “These are for Huo Yunting, a.k.a. your boss, eat it if you dare.” She walked away, not forgetting to ask Yan Se, “Why—are you here again?”

“Anywhere where my food goes, I go. This is such a beautiful place. Delicious cherries, free-for-all. How can I NOT be here?” The bodyguard sure must reveal her actual intention, though what she said was pretty true as well.

Boss sure has something going on with this Zhaoyang girl.

“Hmm—right.” Zhaoyang did not suspect a bit, considering how Yan Se was a walking hamster who stored food in her mouth 24 hours a day.

Yan Se tossed more cherries into her mouth, chewing as she watched the surrounding.

I don’t understand my boss’s intention of sending me here. Why would there be anyone who wants to hurt Lu Zhaoyang in a place like this?

I think I should bring him for a checkup at the psychologist next time. Next time he might send me to watch Zhaoyang in her bedroom, who knows.

“Sister!” A familiar voice rang nearby.

Lu Zhaoyang lifted her head as Yan Se brushed past her like a trained ninja and grabbed the innocent boy and twisted his hands.

“Ow ow ow ow ow!” The basket of cherries rolled all over the place as Lu Bai lost his grip.

“Yan Se, let him go!” Shouted Zhaoyang.

“Ah—the cherries!” Screamed Yan Se, as if seeing her husband running away, “How can you waste such precious cherries like this!”

Lu Bai’s smile remained bright as ever as he spoke, “You like cherries too?” He somehow did not really care if he was caught.

“I do. But why are you here?”

Haven’t I told you to not head outside? There are so many people around here!

“Well, I love cherries too. I just wanted to collect some fresh ones to make wine out of them. Oh wait, maybe some cake, jam too.” The young boy had to cook not only for him but for the Chen Jiu too!

Cherry wine? Cherry cakes? Cherry jams?

The keywords rang like muse to Yan Se’s ears.

Yan Se loosened his grip slowly, “My comrade, may I join you at your base?”

“No,” Lu Bai broke free from her grip and skipped his way to Zhaoyang, “Let me help you.”

“I think you should help yourself first,” said Zhaoyang as she picked up the empty basket for him, “Yan Se, help him out.”

“Why me? He’s here, maybe that Jiu guy is here too! I must protect you!” Said Yan Se as she marched to Zhaoyang’s side. Her eyes were sharp and focused all upon Lu Bai though her lips grooved near Zhaoyang’s ears, “Can you ask him to share me some of his cooking after he’s done?”
