Chapter 23

This chef was also an old member of the Li family. She looked at Le Yu with some contempt. She was another person who used a chicken feather as a token of authority. She had nothing, yet she still dared to sit here and give orders. Gu Yue was the same earlier. In the end, weren’t they all just people who wanted to fly to the top and become phoenixes?

“Young Master’s diet is complicated. It’s too much work. I’m afraid Dr. Kyra can’t wait!” She couldn’t control her contemptuous expression anymore. She had worked hard in the Li family for so many years because an outsider like her couldn’t order her around.

Le Yu looked at her and finally understood why Li Bei was malnourished in the Li family. She turned her head to look at Butler Li. “The Commander’s chef is really different! Is your job very complicated? As a Young Master, is it your fault that Li Bei has been malnourished for a long time? You really have the face to say such words.”

The chef replied, “What can I do if the Young Master doesn’t want to eat? When he’s crazy, who would dare to get close to him!”

Butler Li had a bad feeling about this. Was Wang Dan crazy? It was bad enough that she was always showing off in front of the servants, but now she was being so presumptuous in front of Miss Kyra. Master had given her the right to investigate this matter.

“Shut up! Do whatever Ms. Kyra tells you to do! Why are you so talkative? Is the Young Master someone you can criticize?”

Aunt Wang slowly closed her mouth and left after agreeing.

Le Yu looked at her back as she left, and her heart sank. The Li family’s servants were all arrogant and condescending. Was this how Li Bei had lived all these years? She thought that since Li Bei was Li Feng’s son, he wouldn’t be too sad in the Li family.

After entering Li Bei’s private kitchen, Le Yu carefully examined the ingredients. Li Feng had never mistreated Li Bei in terms of material goods. There were countless rare ingredients. So, whose stomach did all the food go into?

She opened all the cabinets, but Le Yu was still checking them one by one. Li Bei stood at the door and looked at her. He walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”

Le Yu turned around and looked at him. “Nothing. Why did you come down? Where’s Ning Ning?”

“Mommy, what are you doing?” Le Ning poked her head out from behind Li Bei and asked curiously as she looked at the scene in front of her.

Le Yu stopped what she was doing and asked, “Why are you all here? Are you hungry?”

Le Ning nodded her head.

Li Bei looked at her and asked, “What are you investigating?”

From the look in his eyes, Le Yu also knew that this matter could not be hidden. She took his little hand and said softly, “You’re so smart, you must have guessed it. It’s exactly what you’re thinking. I suspect that your insomnia is caused by someone. You can tell me whatever ideas you have.”

Le Yu pinched his little face. “We’re on your side. I’ll protect you.”

When Le Ning walked into the kitchen, she wrinkled her little nose. She pulled Le Yu’s hand and pointed to a well-hidden jar behind them. She said with a look of disgust, “Mommy, the smell in that jar is so strange! Let’s leave this place.”

Le Yu looked at the place she was pointing at. “What smell? How come I don’t smell it?” She walked over and bent down to take out the jar. Le Ning covered her mouth and nose with her two small hands and retreated behind Li Bei.

Le Yu’s face darkened. She quickly wrapped the jar and called the two children to leave. After putting everything back in place, she also left the kitchen with the jar.

Li Bei looked at Le Ning, who was sitting opposite him, and said, “Why is your sense of smell so good? We didn’t smell that thing.”

Ning Ning ate the delicious seafood porridge and said, “This is Ning Ning’s special ability! This is what Brother said.”

Li Bei then remembered the boy who looked very similar to him. He tried to ask, “Why didn’t your brother come with you?”

Le Ning didn’t have the complicated thoughts of her two brothers. She had always been straightforward, and this wasn’t a bad thing. She had enough protection to support her and not let her be hurt in any way. She could always be innocent and cute.

She moved closer to Li Bei and said softly, “Ning Ning wants to tell Brother a secret. Brother is Ning Ning’s biological brother. The brother in Ning Ning’s family is Brother’s little brother, and Ning Ning’s mommy is Brother’s mommy!”

She was beating around the bush, but Li Bei understood her. Was this considered ‘gifted’ like Le Lin? Perhaps it was.
