Chapter 93: It clearly wasn’t this sour just now~

“Hum hum hum~~~”

In the kitchen, it was a familiar scene. A woman with a figure so graceful it was unfair was busy in the kitchen like a newlywed little wife, while Yaya, her small feet in socks standing on a small stool, was giving her a helping hand.

The big one and the small one softly hummed a moving melody, crisp and melodious, with a heartfelt joy in the lingering sound.

Just like a young wife and a little daughter.

And Lin Xun.

Was like a husband waiting to be fed in the courtyard?!

“Not good.”

“Very not good.”

“This is way too not good!”

“I really can’t go on like this anymore!”

Withdrawing his gaze from the warm and beautiful scene in the kitchen, Lin Xun couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

It had been five days since he agreed to let Miss Jiang cook for him.

During these five days, Miss Jiang came to his courtyard to cook on time every day.

And it had to be said, the food Miss Jiang made was really delicious! It was almost as if she were cooking right on his tongue, suiting his every taste!

And with Miss Jiang’s feeding—no, cooking—he also saved a lot of time, and Yaya also liked the food Miss Jiang made very much.

But the problem was that something felt off.

Because gradually, Lin Xun felt as if he and Miss Jiang were living together as a couple, the kind that even had a daughter, and a particularly cute one at that.

When Miss Jiang came to cook this afternoon, he had actually become accustomed to it!

This was too dangerous!

No! I have to make things clear today! I can’t go on like this! If I get used to it one day, that would be disastrous.

“Could it be that I’ll really have to persuade Qinger to let me take Miss Jiang as a Secondary Wife?”

Thinking of this, Lin Xun looked at the large rock in the courtyard and couldn’t help but shudder.

Just as Lin Xun made up his mind to make things clear today and then “drive” Jiang Nongqin out of the courtyard, Nong Qin and Yaya walked over again carrying the food.

It was another sumptuous table, so delicious that Lin Xun couldn’t stop his chopsticks. Lin Xun seriously suspected that as long as Qinger and Nong Qin were around, he wouldn’t be willing to Bigu even if he died.

“Young Master. Is today’s food not to your liking?”

After finishing two large bowls, while Lin Xun was still thinking about how to tactfully tell Nong Qin without hurting her, Nong Qin spoke slowly, her tone filled with trepidation and nervousness, and even more guilt and self-reproach.

“No, no, the food is still very delicious!”

“Really? That’s great.” Nong Qin lightly patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with simple and lovely joy.

For the young girl, being able to satisfy Lin Xun in front of her was her greatest happiness.

“…”

The girl was happy, but Lin Xun was even more troubled.

Looking up into Nong Qin’s joyful, beautiful eyes, Lin Xun’s heart softened instantly.

How could he bring it up!

How could he possibly bring it up!

Lin Xun suspected that if he didn’t let her cook for him, those charming peach-blossom eyes of hers would immediately well up with watery peach-blossom wine.

He would definitely be so full of self-reproach and guilt that he wouldn’t be able to sleep!

But he couldn’t delay any longer! He couldn’t be soft-hearted anymore! Cut the Gordian knot!

Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut!

“Miss Jiang!”

Lin Xun put down his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Nongqin seriously.

“Yes.”

Hearing Young Master Lin call her so seriously, Jiang Nongqin sat up straight.

The girl, straightening her slender waist, looked so exaggerated even from the front. If seen from the side, Lin Xun seriously suspected that Nong Qin’s slender waist would be overburdened and snap.

“Brother Lin?” Even Yaya looked up from her food-devouring fox state, her large, limpid eyes blinking as she looked at Lin Xun.

She didn’t know why, but Yaya felt a sense of crisis, as if she were about to return to a life of takeout.

“Miss Jiang! That!”

“Is it really because I didn’t do a good job?” In the blink of an eye, Nong Qin’s eyes were already slightly moist.

However, so that Lin Xun wouldn’t see, the girl lowered her head, her small hands tightly clutching the hem of her skirt.

That pitiful appearance caused Lin Xun’s hard-won determination to shatter instantly, and the words in his throat simply couldn’t be spoken.

“No, it’s not. It’s just that recently Miss Nongqin has been cooking for us every day, and I want to repay Miss Nongqin, I…” Lin Xun froze for a moment. What the hell am I saying!

What repay… If I repay her more, something’s definitely going to happen… Fuck! Being nice is truly a curse, but what can I do? I’ve already said it.

Sigh, forget it. Nong Qin really has taken care of me and Yaya a lot these past few days. If there’s something Nong Qin wants me to do, I’ll just agree to it.

“Repay? No need, no need.” Nong Qin hurriedly waved her hands. “It is I who am repaying the Young Master. How can I let the Young Master repay me? It won’t do, it won’t do.”

“It’s no matter. One thing is one thing. Just let me do something for Miss Nongqin.”

Lin Xun had already given up resistance. He felt it was impossible for him to “drive” Nong Qin out of the kitchen. Since that was the case, he could only reflect painfully on the rock in the courtyard every night.

“But…” Silence fell over the courtyard. Nong Qin lowered her head, wanting to look at the floor, but she could only see her own chest.

Nong Qin still wanted to refuse.

Your Highness had already saved her twice, and being able to cook for Your Highness already made her very happy. How could she ask for a reward from Your Highness?

But…

The girl looked up and, like a little kitten, stole a glance at Lin Xun.

If she refused this time, the opportunity would be gone. This was a promise from Your Highness.

Which meant she could also wash Your Highness’s clothes, wake him up, tidy his bed, and warm his bed at night…

“Pfft~~~~”

The girl felt as if she were being boiled. Her cheeks suddenly flushed red, and a wisp of white steam even rose from her head.

Ahhh!

It won’t do, it won’t do!

Jiang Nongqin! You can’t ask for too much!

“Young Master.” Finally, Jiang Nongqin looked up and peered at Lin Xun timidly.

“Yes!” Being stared at by Nong Qin’s tender eyes, this time it was Lin Xun’s turn to sit up straight nervously.

“Nong Qin… Can Nong Qin go back and think about it first?” Jiang Nongqin said cautiously. “Nong Qin, Nong Qin hasn’t decided yet…”

“That’s fine. It won’t be too late to tell me once Miss Jiang has decided.”

“Mhm, thank you, Young Master.”

Nong Qin lowered her head and picked up her chopsticks, taking small bites of the rice in her bowl.

Lin Xun also buried his head in drinking soup.

Only Yaya looked up, first at Brother Lin, then at Sister Nongqin.

Yaya felt something was strange, but she didn’t know what.

Lowering her head, Yaya took a large mouthful of rice drizzled with soup.

Strange.

It clearly wasn’t this sour just now~

At the same time, in Luo City’s Spring Breeze Tower, a carrier pigeon flew in. Wormwood took the envelope from the pigeon, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.

“I’ll go call Sister Nongqin! We return to the sect tomorrow!”
