"Chapter 290: Sweet Port Turbulence — Sugar Ship Hijacked Pei Lixiu came to serve another course. "This is foie gras pâté," she announced. "The wine was sent by Young Master Wu. Regarding their matter, Master—would you be willing to plan something for them?" As she spoke, she cast a flirtatious glance and, while pouring wine, leaned half her body against Guo Yi.
