Ganyu asked, "Ze, how about this? After Master finishes this batch of work, I'll take you out for dinner."
Junze rubbed his little belly. He should still be able to hold out for a while.
He nodded and said, "Okay, Master. You go ahead. Ze will keep planting flowers."
"Planting flowers?"
Hearing Junze's words, Ganyu chuckled a little unfairly.
To be honest, although Junze had been tinkering around in the small garden in the courtyard lately, in Ganyu's mind he was just playing with dirt.
After all, planting things was not something a child could really accomplish.
"It feels like Master is looking down on me."
Junze pouted slightly, naturally noticing Ganyu's disbelief.
Ganyu gently rubbed his head with a doting smile.
"Master would never look down on Ze. Ze is the most amazing."
"Hmph."
Junze shrugged.
In his heart, he thought that once he successfully planted the seeds of Delicious Qingxin, he would definitely give Ganyu a big surprise.
However, Junze was still very curious.
Just how delicious were Delicious Qingxin seeds if they were considered on the same level as coconut milk?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Master, I'm going now."
With that, Junze grabbed his little shovel and ran toward the small garden.
"Be careful."
Ganyu watched Junze's departing figure, her eyes full of tenderness.
Fortunately, the garden area was still within Ganyu's line of sight. Otherwise she would absolutely not feel comfortable letting Junze go there.
The purpose of that mysterious Adeptus who appeared recently was still unclear.
Even though the little boy had comforted her greatly earlier, the worry in Ganyu's heart had not disappeared.
At that moment, Eula entered Yuehai Pavilion together with Huixin.
"It's that child."
Eula naturally noticed Junze running across the courtyard.
However, her attention was focused on Junze's horns.
As expected, they are exactly the same as that Adeptus's horns.
Eula came to an understanding.
From the conversation between the secretary and that Adeptus at Cuijue Slope, it seemed clear that this child had a significant connection with that Adeptus.
Perhaps that Adeptus was even searching for him.
"Huixin? Miss Eula?"
Ganyu looked curiously at Eula, who had just arrived before her.
They had only parted ways at Cuijue Slope not long ago, and now they had already met again here.
Huixin explained,
"Lady Keqing issued Miss Eula a permit. We will transfer a batch of ore from another location and have it delivered to Mondstadt."
Eula nodded.
"Thank you for the trouble."
"Oh, alright. Miss Eula, please come with me."
Ganyu led Eula to her workspace.
After explaining things, Huixin returned to her own duties.
When Eula saw the piles of documents on Ganyu's desk, surprise appeared on her face.
She asked in disbelief,
"All of this workload… belongs to you?"
Ganyu had long grown used to people being shocked by her work.
She nodded politely.
"You are truly impressive."
For a moment, in Eula's eyes, Ganyu was almost on the same level as the Acting Grand Master.
"It's nothing special."
Ganyu replied modestly while taking out a document.
It contained records of recent ore transactions with various parties.
Following the permit issued by Keqing, Ganyu quickly found a batch of goods whose final transport deadline was still far away.
While Ganyu was writing the approval slip, Eula thought for a moment before speaking.
"May I ask you a question?"
Ganyu continued writing as she answered.
"A question? Please go ahead."
"How much do you know about that Adeptus?"
Clack.
The pen dropped onto the desk.
Eula's sudden question caused the polite smile on Ganyu's face to disappear instantly.
She turned to look at Eula.
"My understanding of that Adeptus is… very limited."
Although she still maintained basic courtesy, it was obvious that Ganyu's mood had turned cold.
"In that case, this might be somewhat abrupt," Eula continued. "I would like to ask what relationship that child from earlier has with that Adeptus."
"His horns seem…"
As Eula spoke, she suddenly stopped.
She noticed that the seemingly soft and gentle secretary in front of her had suddenly become extremely intimidating.
A bad feeling appeared in Eula's heart.
She seemed to have asked something she should not have asked.
"What do you mean?"
Ganyu looked coldly at the Knight of Favonius before her.
She stood up and slowly approached Eula step by step.
"What about that child's horns?"
"They are related to an Adeptus? Who told you that?"
"What are you trying to accomplish by asking this?"
"You previously had contact with that Adeptus. Did he tell you something?"
"What did he ask you to do?"
…
Ganyu's tone grew faster and sharper.
The entire room seemed to grow colder.
"Answer me!"
Her rapid questions were like blades, trying to slice through Eula's composure and reveal her true intentions.
Clearly, Eula had touched Ganyu's reverse scale.
"Please calm down!"
Eula had never expected the gentle and capable secretary before her to react so strongly to this question.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I meant nothing else."
Originally, Eula had only wanted to learn a little more about that Adeptus from Ganyu.
But she had never expected such an intense reaction.
"I only noticed that the child's horns look similar to that Adeptus's, so I asked."
"I have had no contact with that Adeptus."
"I truly apologize for asking something so inappropriate."
Realizing she had done something unnecessary, Eula apologized repeatedly.
"…."
Looking at Eula like this, Ganyu pressed her lips together.
She also realized that she had been overly sensitive.
Even though Junze had comforted her earlier, the thorn in her heart still remained.
Until she understood that Adeptus's intentions and Junze's own wishes, Ganyu would not be able to let go of that worry.
But…
Should she ask Ze?
At that moment, Ganyu felt extremely conflicted.
She tore the approval slip from the document and handed it to Eula.
"I'm sorry. I'm a little tired. Please leave."
Eula felt a bit regretful.
She accepted the slip and bowed slightly.
"I am truly sorry. Next time, I will come again to apologize properly."
