Chapter 138 Visit (1500 extra for first order)
When Chen Lun left the basement carrying two bottles of ginger beer and returned to the first floor of the villa, he found Connie walking towards him.
"Ah, Mr. Jack, I was planning to go down to find you."
Connie said.
"Steward Walsh from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce just came to tell us that Mr. Noah and Miss Rosa will come to visit together later."
"Okay, I get it."
Chen Lun thought for a while, handed the extraordinary wine in his hand to Connie, and said:
"Let's chill this bottle and serve our guests later."
"This... was brewed so quickly!"
Connie was surprised.
Chen Lun showed a mysterious smile.
"It's a secret."
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Connie left with a look of admiration on her face, holding her wine.
She thought of Mr. Jack's extraordinary powers, and immediately felt relieved——
"There seems to be nothing that Mr. Jack can't do."
Chen Lun came to the kitchen.
He saw Floy busy at the desk.
She noticed the familiar footsteps, chopped onions without looking back, and whispered:
"I just heard from Connie that there are guests coming to the house, so I am preparing to cook a decent dinner... It is my first time to entertain guests, I hope it will not embarrass you."
Chen Lun shook his head and chuckled:
"You are so humble, Floy, your craftsmanship is better than anyone else. Besides, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself every time..."
Floy raised her lips slightly and skillfully poured the diced onions into the pot.
"I just love it, it makes my heart peaceful when I cook, and..."
She turned her head, with a gentle smile on her face.
"You like to eat."
Chen Lun looked at her quietly.
Floy lifted up the hem of her skirt playfully and curtsied to him.
He immediately turned around, picked up the ladle, and silently began to stir the rich soup in the pot.
Looking at Floy's side face, the smile at the corner of her mouth had not dissipated. Chen Lun felt that she had changed a bit and was more bright and lively than before.
"Thank you for your hard work, Floy."

Late afternoon.
A carriage from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce stopped at the door of Jack's manor.
Steward Walsh, who was wearing a round hat, came down and opened the curtain of the carriage. Noah's huge body was carefully moved out, the wheels creaking.
After he got out of the car, he took a deep breath and then remembered something. He quickly turned around and stretched out his hand to pull out a beautiful silver-haired lady.
Noah's face was full of shyness and his cheeks were red.
It wasn't long before he accepted the fact that his brother had become a sister, and he was still a little uncomfortable with it.
"Noah, when you come to visit Mr. Jack this time, please be polite. Your tie is crooked."
Rosa rolled her eyes at her brother, took out her handkerchief, wiped his sweat, and straightened the red tie on his chest.
"Thank...thank you."
Noah scratched his head, very embarrassed.
"Let's go."
Rosa held her brother's arm, and the two walked into the gate of Jack's manor together.
At this time.
She suddenly raised her head and glanced at the goldfinch resting on the bronze statue on the wall near the door. The latter seemed to notice her gaze and flapped its wings and flew away.
"What's wrong, sister?"
Noah asked.
"Nothing, let's go faster, Mr. Jack may be waiting for us at the door."
Rosa chuckled.
Noah smiled shyly and nodded.
Steward Walsh parked the carriage and quickly followed. Looking at the backs of the two siblings, he felt a little emotional.
He had been looking forward to this scene of mutual love for a long time.
Ever since Young Master Rex encountered persecution from the Red Apple Church six years ago, Young Master Noah's character has undergone some changes. He was not interested in the family business in the first place, so he directly chose to travel far away.
Fortunately, Young Master Rex did not die. He was finally promoted and became the new top manager of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. But because of gender transformation, many outsiders don’t know the truth about this matter.
The eldest young master, who was renamed Rosa, and is now the eldest young lady, specifically ordered not to tell Noah about this.
This concealment lasted six years.
To Walsh's delight, they finally recognized each other.
There is a huge difference in stature between the two siblings. Rosa only reaches Noah's waist and looks like Beauty and the Beast. They were dressed very formally today, and for those who didn't know it, they thought they were going to a banquet.
As we walked deeper into the manor, we saw a gentleman in black dress and top hat standing at the door.
He wielded his silver cane and smiled.
There was a woman standing on the left and right beside him. She was taller and wearing a black dress. She had long pale blond hair, and her eyes were covered with a layer of strange "black satin". The shorter one wears suspenders and has chestnut hair tied into braids.
"Noah, Miss Rosa, welcome both of you."
Chen Lun stepped forward to greet them.
"I didn't inform you of the visit one day in advance, so I still invite Haihan, Mr. Jack."
Rosa said.
Chen Lun shrugged and joked:
"Compared to those insignificant etiquette, I care more about whether you two can have a good time today, please come in."
He extended his hand in vain, Rosa smiled charmingly, took her brother's arm, and walked into the villa door together.
The villas in Jack's Manor are not comparable to Pompeii Manor, or even to the homes of some other noble and wealthy businessmen, but Rosa and Noah don't care about this.
They have been to more extravagant and luxurious manors and attended banquets held by prominent people, but none of them can compare to this place.
For this is the residence of Mr. Jack Spate.
"Please take a seat."
Chen Lun raised his hand to signal, and immediately sat down on the main seat.
After Noah and Rosa sat down, Chen Lun whispered to Connie and asked her to go upstairs and call Maggie and Golov down to have dinner together.
After a while, the two went downstairs.
"I will introduce you to the two new members of my team, Miss Maggie and Mr. Golov."
"Hello."
Maggie shrugged and raised her hand to say hello to Rosa and Noah.
"You two meet for the first time, may the sun always shine on you."
Golov took off his hat, held his chest and saluted.
Rosa and Noah responded politely.
After Maggie and Goroff sat down, Rosa raised her lips slightly and looked at the black-haired young man on the main seat.
"Mr. Jack's team? I'm a little curious."
she spoke.
Rosa could tell the identities of Maggie and Gorov as extraordinary beings at a glance. She also had a vague guess in her heart.
Noah, who was sitting next to her, also cast an inquiring gaze.
Chen Lun smiled.
"We might as well talk while we eat."
"This is a good idea. Noah and I deliberately didn't have afternoon tea because we were a little hungry."
Rosa said, and Noah's stomach growled cooperatively.
His face suddenly turned red.
Chen Lun smiled and raised his hand to signal.
Connie opened the metal lids on the table one by one, and a rich fragrance came out, filling the restaurant.
"This is dinner cooked by Floy herself."
Chen Lun said.
Floy was smiling, sitting dignifiedly, nodding slightly towards everyone's gaze.
"It's surprising. Miss Floy's cooking is better than the chef at the Garden Hotel..."
Noah put a meatball in his mouth and his eyes suddenly opened wide.
"No, no, no, I think it tastes better!"
After sighing, Noah increased his hand speed.
In his heart, he was even more convinced that his mother's will was extremely wise, and joining Mr. Jack's team would be a good and right thing.
He really loves me.
When everyone saw Noah's happy expression while eating, they couldn't help but look forward to it, so they picked up their knives and forks and started eating.
Immediately, they all showed the same expression as Noah.
In the slight exclamation, Chen Lun secretly gave Floy a thumbs up, and the latter smiled at him and said thank you.
"Please try the delicious wine brewed by Mr. Jack himself."
Connie duly brought over two bottles of cold ginger beer and poured a glass for each guest.
"Oh? Mr. Jack still has this kind of hobby?"
Rosa took a bite of the beef tenderloin, nodded secretly, then wiped her mouth with a napkin and asked curiously.
"I have a sudden interest recently, Miss Rosa, you might as well try it first."
Chen Lun smiled.
“Looking forward to it.”
Rosa took the wine glass from Connie and took a sip.
It was a very authentic ginger beer, but she rarely drank it. It can be said that people in the upper class rarely drink this kind of light beer, but more often red wine, gin or punch on some special holidays.
But the next moment, she was slightly startled, and suddenly raised her gaze to look at the young man in charge.
The latter still kept a smile on his face and looked at her quietly.
"This is... extraordinary wine?"
Rosa's slightly surprised voice came out.
The others were startled, and Noah stopped his fork. (End of chapter)
