Chapter 694: More or Less Heartache

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After finalizing negotiations with Good Pharmaceuticals, Ruan Meng’s family made preparations to return to Continent M.

Before departing, Ruan Meng made a special effort to bring along a sizable bag of spice essential oil as a gesture of gratitude for Gu Yang. She even made a solemn promise, patting her chest, “Gu Yang, if you ever need any spice essential oil in the future, just let me know. I’ll have it sent to you right away.”

“Alright, that’s wonderful!” Gu Yang had been waiting for Ruan Meng to offer this. With a gleeful expression, she hurried back to her room and retrieved a detailed list. Handing it to Ruan Meng with a smile, she said, “Thank you, my friend. There’s no need for formalities between us.”

Ruan Meng was taken aback, her hands trembling as she accepted the comprehensive list.

She hadn’t even divulged to Gu Yang the specifics of the spices and essential oils produced in their family’s spice production area! Yet, remarkably, every item on the list was within their production capacity.

However, some of the less common spice essential oils were limited in quantity, and they were still grappling with meeting demand.

As she gazed at Gu Yang’s cheerful countenance, Ruan Meng couldn’t help but wonder if her family’s spice farm could withstand Gu Yang’s potentially vast demands…

“Is it too much?” Gu Yang appeared conflicted. “Maybe I should reconsider which ones to remove. But honestly, I love them all.”

“It’s fine!” Ruan Meng took a deep breath, mustering a smile. “As long as you’re happy! Our Bass family can certainly provide for you.”

“I’ve already promised to personally prepare your spice essential oil order. And I always keep my word! Just wait, I’ll ship you a package once I’m back.”

Even though it stung a little…

Gu Yang returned her smile. “Thank you. And you’re always welcome to come back to China and visit me in the future. Once I finish making the perfume, I’ll send you a bottle.”

She had grand plans to create numerous perfumes, but the cost of the necessary spice oil was prohibitive.

Despite the extensive selection in the perfume room provided by her boyfriend, she couldn’t afford to be extravagant. She had to be prudent with his funds.

However, with a guaranteed source of spice oil now, she could indulge her passion for fragrances without reservation.

As Ruan Meng observed Gu Yang’s radiant smile, a sudden unease gripped her.

Initially, Ruan Meng had brushed off Gu Yang’s request for perfume. After all, being born into the Bass family meant she had experienced a plethora of top luxury brand fragrances.

However, the perfume Gu Yang eventually crafted for her proved invaluable, aiding in Ruan Meng’s evasion of Tally’s vengeful hypnosis.

“Well, isn’t the Chinese National College Entrance Examination approaching? I hope you secure admission to your preferred university,” Ruan Meng remarked.

“Thank you. I also hope you swiftly pass your other foreign language proficiency exams. By the way, have you reviewed the information I compiled for you?” Gu Yang inquired.

Ruan Meng cleared her throat awkwardly, feeling a pang of guilt. “I’ll get to it soon.”

Who would prioritize studying over having fun?

Truth be told, she hadn’t even started reading it.

Earlier, she had vented to Gu Yang on WeChat about returning to Country M and facing a barrage of foreign language exams, including Spanish, Japanese, and six others. The prospect of tackling multiple languages had her feeling overwhelmed.

She wasn’t particularly adept at languages and lacked the patience for learning them. Her proficiency in Chinese had been a result of sheer determination.

However, Ruan Meng was caught off guard when Gu Yang sent her six documents a few days later.

Six languages, a total of twelve gigabytes.

Despite having downloaded the files, she hadn’t mustered the courage to open them.

Gu Yang smiled knowingly at her. “I put a lot of effort into organizing those. Don’t let my efforts go to waste.”

Meeting Gu Yang’s penetrating gaze, Ruan Meng nodded resolutely. She clenched her fists, determination shining in her eyes. “Don’t worry, I’ll give them my full attention!”

Inwardly, she resolved to do her utmost to tackle the daunting task. After all, Gu Yang had devoted valuable time to compile the documents for her.
