Chapter 204

Klee was already fantasizing about where she should take them to play when Barbara and the others arrived.

Takumi and the little girls started eating together.

However, it didn't take long before Xiangling served the food, and Takumi noticed something unusual.

"Something's not right."

"Xiangling, why did you prepare so much food today?"

"And these dishes seem to be Ningguang's favorites."

"Is she coming?"

After thinking about it carefully, Takumi realized something was off.

Hearing Takumi's words, Xiangling smiled.

"Yes!"

"Lady Ningguang called me when Klee and the others arrived."

"She asked me to prepare extra food because she'll be joining us later."

"She should be here soon."

After saying that, Xiangling ran out.

Takumi was instantly speechless.

Klee and the others, who were about to start eating, also put down their chopsticks.

"Is Sister Ningguang coming too?"

"Then let's wait and eat together!"

Klee spoke earnestly.

Takumi nodded. He didn't mind waiting either.

He figured Ningguang was here to discuss the shopping mall.

After a short wait, Ningguang arrived, accompanied by Ganyu.

"Sister Ganyu!"

"Why are you here too?"

Yaoyao's eyes lit up when she saw Ganyu.

She immediately ran over.

"Sister Ningguang, Sister Ganyu!"

Klee greeted them sweetly.

Hearing such a cute voice, who could resist?

"What are you all waiting for?"

"The food is ready—go ahead and eat."

"Don't wait for us."

Klee hurriedly shook her head.

"We can't start without everyone!"

"We have to wait until everyone is here before eating."

She, Klee, knew the rules!

Since they knew Sister Ningguang was coming, they had to wait.

Hearing Klee's adorable reasoning, Ningguang chuckled.

She simply found a seat and let Klee start eating.

Ganyu also took a seat beside Yaoyao.

Seeing Ningguang arrive, Takumi didn't stand on ceremony.

He immediately started eating.

"You're here to talk about the shopping mall, right?"

Hearing Takumi's words, Ningguang nodded.

"Of course."

"I'm very interested in the mall."

"Coincidentally, Ganyu also came to visit the adepti, so she accompanied me here."

Takumi nodded in understanding.

That made sense.

Looking over at Ganyu, he noticed she hadn't touched her food.

Instead, she was sipping tea in silence.

"Ganyu, eat something."

"What are you waiting for?"

Hearing Takumi's words, Ganyu's face twitched slightly.

She glanced at him with mild resentment.

This guy was doing it on purpose.

Every time they ate together, he always urged her to eat.

"No, I'm not hungry."

She couldn't eat.

If she ate more, she would gain weight.

Hearing this, Takumi smirked.

"Don't worry."

"These dishes are all Ningguang's favorites."

"Which means they won't make you gain weight."

"Look at Ningguang—is she fat?"

"Xiangling specially prepared these."

"You can eat a little—you won't suddenly turn into a ball."

"Besides, you can just walk a bit more afterward. It'll digest quickly."

Fat into a ball?

At that moment, Ganyu felt Takumi's deep malice.

She glared at him.

She meant she wasn't going to eat, period.

"Ganyu, eat something."

"These dishes are light and won't make you gain weight."

"Even if you want to stay in shape, you can't just diet like this."

Ningguang also chimed in.

These dishes were indeed her favorites.

And they were carefully designed to be nutritious without causing weight gain.

She had a dedicated diet plan.

She took such things seriously.

Hearing Ningguang's words, Ganyu hesitated.

Should she just eat a little?

"Sister Ganyu, eat something~!"

"You can't just eat Qingxin flowers every day."

Yaoyao took the opportunity to chime in.

Back in Liyue Harbor, she had lived with Ganyu for a while.

Although Ganyu was her guardian, in reality—

Yaoyao was the one taking care of Ganyu.

Ganyu never ate properly.

Sometimes, she would get by with just one or two Qingxin flowers.

She didn't dare to eat more.

If not for her adeptus bloodline,

she probably would have suffered from malnutrition by now.

Hearing Yaoyao's words, Ganyu hesitated, then finally gave in.

She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Once she started, she couldn't stop.

After finishing her meal, she felt doomed.

She had eaten too much today.

Would she gain weight?

Seeing this, Takumi smirked.

Gaining a little weight wasn't a bad thing, was it?

After eating and drinking, Ganyu decided to go for a walk.

To aid digestion.

Yaoyao, noticing this, quickly followed.

Seeing Yaoyao leave, Klee and the others, of course, followed suit.

Before leaving, Klee called out to Takumi before running off.

Watching the little girls leave, Takumi turned to Ningguang.

"Let's go."

With that, Takumi stood up and walked outside.

Paimon, who was busy, noticed that Takumi had left without paying again.

She pouted.

She wouldn't let this go.

That guy Lumine was planning to go to Liyue Harbor in a few days.

Paimon had been earning extra money lately.

"I plan to sell some of my goods at the shopping mall."

"What do you think?"

As the two reached the parking lot and mounted their vehicles,

Ningguang suddenly asked Takumi this question.

Hearing this, Takumi nodded.

"Just follow the rules."

"You can even move your Jade Chamber here if you want."

Hearing this, Ningguang rolled her eyes.

"Of course, I'll follow the rules."

"Then I'll buy a few storefronts in the mall."

"I'll trouble you to take care of my shops in the future."

"Landlord Takumi~~!"

She couldn't help but smirk.

Hearing the nickname, Takumi was speechless.

"I won't be too involved."

"It's better to have professionals manage things over there."

"By the way, are you monitoring Mondstadt's power grid setup?"

"Has the work started?"

Takumi asked about Mondstadt.

After returning from there, he had left all the arrangements to Ningguang and hadn't followed up.

He wasn't sure what progress had been made.

Hearing his question, Ningguang nodded.

"Yes, preparations are already underway."

"They're starting with streetlights first."

"Then, installation will proceed house by house."

"Windrise is also being prepared."

"The power station near Dawn Winery is under construction as well."

"Jean is taking this matter seriously."

"She's assigned a lot of people to help."

Mondstadt was eager to begin using electricity as soon as possible.
