In the main hall of the inn, Wang Gui held up the steaming yellow millet cornbread, turning his back firmly against Chen Ji.
He pondered in his heart, if Chen Ji came up to ask for cornbread, what excuse would he use to get rid of Chen Ji?
However, Chen Ji paid no attention to Wang Gui and went straight to the stairs on the left. With each step Chen Ji took, Wang Gui followed the sound of footsteps slowly rotating his body, keeping his back towards Chen Ji the whole time.
At this moment, Chen Wenxiao was standing at the corner of the second-floor staircase, shouting loudly, "Wang Gui, why has it taken so long, the food isn't ready..."
The moment he saw Chen Ji, his voice abruptly stopped, and he turned and went into the room.
Everyone was waiting for Chen Ji to go upstairs, and only when Chen Ji disappeared at the stair corner did Wang Gui finally let out a long sigh of relief.
