Chapter 495 “Cook for Her (2)”

It’s as per the boy guessed, Ling Yue was really hungry right now.

Due to how busy she’s been going over the account books, she didn’t even bother to eat lunch, nor dinner for that matter after taking a peek outside the window. Then turning back to the boy beside herself, it didn’t take much to guess the boy didn’t either seeing how she was able to drool all over that sleeve.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll go to the kitchen and have them prepare it for you.”

“It’s already the middle of the night, don’t be too troublesome and just cook some porridges or scrambled eggs.” All muffled from the drowsiness of sleeping, Ling Yue randomly threw some food ideas out from her head without a second thought.

For the boy, he would of course be happy to oblige that request. Getting up, he went out alone to carry out the task of getting the cooks from the kitchen.

Several minutes later….

Fifteen minutes later….

Half an hour later, Feng Shen still hasn’t returned yet….

That’s when Ling Yue went out as well in search of the lad.

As keen of a worker as she was about going through the account books, there’s no way she wouldn’t be bored after waiting so long. Who’s she kidding? It’s a perfect excuse to get out of the stuffy room for a stretch after spending all day in there. Furthermore, a sense of worry was slowly starting to bud within that fair maiden’s heart of hers. After all, it’s not the first time something bad has come across the boy like when they first met.

Sadly for Ling Yue herself, it’s a very dark night indeed. Searching right, searching left, it soon dawned on the girl that she’s lost within the long winding corridors of this slumbering manor.

But not all hope was lost of course. Using her keen senses of the ear, she soon picked up the faint sound of someone rummaging through some tools. Regardless of who or what was causing this sound, she knew this was her best chance to get some directions.

Fortunately fate was kind. Through pure dumb luck, the faint glow of the kitchen lights had eventually come into her view. But rather than being elated at her discovery, Ling Yue was more alarmed by the loud crashing sound of the pots falling to the ground and the silhouette of a man tending to the stove.

Turns out the fire had long been snuffed with the cooks fast asleep. So, who was tending to the flames right now?

Obviously it was Feng Shen himself.

The boy’s afraid the girl would go hungry. Therefore, in order to avoid such a misfortune, the lad took it upon himself to cook the porridge using his inexperienced hands.

Turning around upon noticing the presence behind himself, the boy’s ear instantly burst into a cherry red after seeing his legs littered with various broken pots and pans. Some were so bad that it was unrecognizable even.

“Just a bit longer and you can eat, but before then don’t come in, there’s no room for you to sit.”

In response to seeing this new side of the boy, Ling Yue simply couldn’t resist a chuckle. According to her memories, Feng Shen was a very capable young lord. To see how the simple act of cooking could turn into his shortcomings was a flaw that’s both surprising and amusing.

Hmm, Wu Chong’s cooking skill is so good, I wonder what would happen if the two of them were to merge together into one. By then, they be invincible. The thought only lasted for a brief second because the very notion of such an idea sent fear down her spines.
