“But, Mr. Miller just wants to participate in the Longmen Competition, not to win it. That goal should still be achievable, right?” Evan replied indifferently.

“Ah…” Miss Miller was stunned. It seemed that, out of habit, she had always thought the goal was to win the Longmen Competition. “Is that… is that all he wants?”

“What did you think?” Evan was taken aback and glanced at Miss Miller. “Proving your worth doesn’t necessarily require victory. Just participating is a kind of proof. The process is more important than the result!!”

“……” Miss Miller fell silent, carefully reflecting on Evan’s words. In them, she seemed to gain some insight.

“Evan, here are the medicinal herbs you wanted. Should we deliver them to you, or will you call a vehicle yourself?”

During the silence, the goods from the Huang family pharmacy were ready, and they couldn’t wait for Miss Miller to finish thinking—after all, they still had business to run.

“I’ll do it myself. This time I’ll use the company’s vehicle. Just help me load it up!!” Evan replied, leading the group over.

“Alright!”

“Evan, I’ll go back with you!” Miss Miller caught up to Evan and said.

“??” Evan was a bit puzzled. Normally, Miss Miller wouldn’t go home before dark. What was up today?

“What are you looking at? This lady is tired today and wants to go home and rest. Is that not allowed?” Miss Miller seemed to read Evan’s thoughts and shot him a glance.

That glance was something else—countless people wished for such a charming look from Miss Miller. But Evan knew he was not destined to enjoy such fortune. Not only because of the difference in their status, but more importantly, this Miss Miller had “interests” that were a bit different.

“Sure, of course! You’re Miss Miller, whatever you say goes. It’s just, my vehicle is a truck—you might not be used to it.” Evan said. Naturally, the only vehicle he could get was a truck.

“It’s fine, I don’t mind!” Miss Miller shook her head and smiled.

“Then let’s go!” Evan didn’t say anything more. He couldn’t possibly ask Miss Miller not to come along, and besides, it was on the way—why refuse?

“Hey kid, where’s that little foodie of yours?” On the way, Miss Miller suddenly remembered Chloe by Evan’s side. She had wanted to play with Chloe to pass the time.

Chloe was very popular, especially with girls—even someone like Miss Miller.

“That foodie seems to have been taken by someone. Don’t worry about it.” Evan said casually.

“…By who? Let me go deal with them! How dare they take something that belongs to me.” Miss Miller was furious.

Was Evan hers? Literally speaking, yes—he was one of her little servants.

“No idea. Anyway, it gets taken away all the time. It’ll be back tonight!” Evan replied indifferently.

“You don’t seem to care about it.” Miss Miller looked at Evan.

“Why should I care about that foodie? I think the ones we should worry about are the people who took it…” Evan whipped the “ox” pulling the cart and replied to Miss Miller.

“Why?” Miss Miller was a bit confused.

“Chloe doesn’t have any other skills except eating, and it can eat non-stop!” Evan answered.

“?? I still don’t get it. What’s the big deal?” Miss Miller was still puzzled.

“Miss Miller, you come from a wealthy family, so you don’t know what it means to not have enough food! Chloe will eat everything in sight. If there’s not enough food, it’ll eat the furniture, even the house…” Evan replied with some feeling—clearly, he had some painful memories.

“……” Miss Miller seemed to understand a little, but she still found it hard to believe that the little thing could eat that much.

If Evan knew what Miss Miller was thinking right now, he would definitely say loudly that Chloe is a true foodie. The things it can eat are beyond your imagination. Calling it a bottomless pit is absolutely accurate.

……

At this moment, in a wealthy household in the city, the family’s Miss Miller had just finished bathing and immediately ran off to see the cute little monster she had caught today.

As soon as she entered, she saw her mother standing to the side with a pale face, while the little monster she had brought home was munching away, looking absolutely adorable.

This made Miss Miller like it even more!!

At this moment, she still didn’t know that this little cutie had a very special destructive power…

“Um, daughter, where did you pick up this little thing?”

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? Do you know how much it just ate?”

“Mom, it’s just a little food. Our family is one of the richest in Qingyun City. Are you saying we can’t afford a little bit of food? If Dad heard you say that, he’d definitely scold you for being petty!!” Miss Miller still didn’t realize how serious things were. She thought, at most, it had just eaten a bit more than usual, but nothing too bad.

“If your father were here, he’d slaughter this little monster on the spot. Do you know how much it just ate?” her mother said angrily.
