âGo out and wait. What can I do with so many people here?â Leng Ruoxue looked at the expectant faces in front of her and couldnât help but feel a headache. These gluttons only knew how to eat every day.
âOkay, letâs go. Little girl, take your time. Weâre not in a hurry!â The old man quickly coaxed her when he saw that she was angry. Ever since he sent Li Yuan and the others away, he almost regarded the generalâs mansion as his home. Except for not sleeping here at night, he basically spent the rest of his time here.
âOld Leng, letâs go. Donât affect Ruoxueâs mood when sheâs cooking,â Lin Liang said understandingly.
âTch!â Leng Qingtian and the old man looked at Lin Liang with contempt. He was the one who led the way just now, and now he was pretending to be a good person?
âXueâer, let me help you!â Freak, who had been standing quietly by the side, couldnât help feeling a little heartbroken seeing everyone leave.?Boohoo⦠My poor Xueâer has actually become the cook of these people!
âNo need. Stay there obediently,â Leng Ruoxue said while cutting vegetables. In fact, if she could make those old men temporarily forget about that big trouble Xu Xing by using food, it would be worth it even if she had to work a little harder.
âOkay.â Freak was very obedient and stayed by the side like an obedient child. He didnât dare to disturb Xueâer and just kept staring at her with his bright and shiny eyes very attentively.
âFreak, get them in to carry out the dishes!â Leng Ruoxue ordered after half an hour.
âThereâs no need. Weâre here.â The few old men poked their heads in from the kitchen window with a smile.
The old men each carried the two dishes out of the kitchen tacitly without Leng Ruoxueâs instructions.
Leng Ruoxue and Freak followed them to the dining room.
âHurry up and eat!â Leng Qingtian said after everyone was seated.
Leng Qingtian was about to pick up a piece of fish with his chopsticks when two people beat him to it. Just as he was going to threaten them, he found that the whole fish was goneâ¦
âYouâ¦â Leng Qingtian glared at the old man and Lin Liang, who were gnawing on half the fish each. He was so angry that he couldnât speak.?These two old fellows are too fast. I was just a little slower, and the whole fish disappearedâ¦
âThis fish is really delicious!â After eating the fish, the old man licked his fingers reluctantly and sighed.
âOf course itâs delicious!â Leng Qingtian rolled his eyes at the old man in displeasure. The fish was from the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, and there was none in this world. It would be strange if it wasnât delicious.
âGrandpa, if you donât eat quickly, the other dishes will be gone,â Leng Ruoxue reminded helplessly.?Why are they so exaggerated? Every meal is like a world war.
Hearing this, Leng Qingtian stopped talking and focused on his favorite dishes.
After a satisfying dinner, everyone sat in the garden, enjoying tea and chatting under the moonlight.
âThese days are really good!â the old man said with emotion. Of course, the premise was that there was no such big trouble as Xu Xing.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOld man, shouldnât you be returning to the palace?â Leng Ruoxue reminded. It was getting late, but the old man was in no hurry to leave today. How strange.
âLittle girl, are you chasing this old man away? Boohoo⦠Someone actually despises me. Iâm really too pitiful,â the old man said with a sad face. He even pretended to raise his arm and wipe his tears with his sleeve.
âWe are always being driven away by Junior Aunt. You will get used to it,â Guo Yong said sympathetically, as if he had found a comrade-in-arms.
âYou two are quite pitiful,â the old man said sympathetically, as if he had found a bosom buddy.
âDo you regret not having met sooner?â Leng Ruoxue asked in bewilderment.?These two are reallyâ¦
âNo, no,â Guo Yong and the old man quickly denied and looked at Leng Ruoxue cautiously.
âWell, thatâs a pity. I thought you two would be a good match,â Leng Ruoxue said with a look of pity and disappointment.
âMatch for what? Weâre not a match for anything.â The two immediately jumped away from each other as if the other was a virus.
âMatch as friends! What else do you think it is?â The smile on Leng Ruoxueâs beautiful face was so dazzling and touching. Moreover, her face was full of innocence, but her words were so evil that they let peopleâs imaginations run wild.
âLittle girl, you tricked us!â the old man complained aggrievedly, as if Leng Ruoxue had done something unforgivable.
âJunior Aunt, you are too evil. How can you bully your disciple-nephew?â Guo Yong also complained. One word was written in his shrewd black eyes: wronged!
âHaha, old man, how can you be a match for Ruoxue!â Lin Liang gloated, beaming from ear to ear!
âBrat Lin, how dare you laugh at this old man! Do you want to die?!â The old man unceremoniously vented his anger on Lin Liang. Hmph! He couldnât bear to hit or scold that girl, but Lin Liang? Of course he wouldnât be polite!
âHmph! You only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong!â Lin Liang said disdainfully. But to be honest, if he really fought with this old man, he might not be able to beat him.
âSo what? Bite me!â the old man roared provocatively.
âContinue bickering. Iâm going to bed,â Leng Ruoxue said softly to the two of them. Then she stood up and left the garden. Freak naturally followed Xueâer wherever she went.
âAlright, stop acting. Xueâer is going back to her room.â Leng Qingtian looked at the two who were still at daggers drawn.
âWe werenât acting,â the two of them said in unison. Then they turned their heads at the same time and ignored each other.
âCome on, Xueâer isnât here. Who are you acting for?!â Leng Qingtian exposed them, but he was also quite touched.
