After a long wait, the assistant finally appeared at Pei Jingchuan's door, holding a basket of carefully selected mangoes.
Although the sunlight bathed him in its glow, it couldn't dispel the anxiety and weariness between his brows.
Pei Jingchuan approached and took the basket from his hands, his gaze sweeping over the plump mangoes before landing on the assistant's slightly tense face.
Pei Jingchuan took the basket, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he scrutinized the plump mangoes, then slowly raised his head, his gaze sharp as an ice blade as it fell on the assistant.
"Are these really strawberry-flavored mangoes?" his voice remained calm, but each word resonated with an unquestionable seriousness.
