Upon hearing from Doctor Luo that Xiaotian was fine, Li Fugui finally put his worried mind at ease.
Afterward, he also discussed dietary matters with Doctor Luo, such as what not to feed pregnant won, and Li Fugui took note of everything.
What pained him the most was hearing from Doctor Luo about the extent of the young master’s concern for Xiaotian.
Such words, he really didn’t want to hear anymore.
Yet the more he learned, the more he heard these words.
He felt very sad, wondering why it wasn’t him who was by her side.
Soon, they arrived at the clinic, and Li Fugui followed Doctor Luo inside to apply so dicine to his hand, then returned to his residence.
The next day, he waited at the Yuelai Restaurant, thinking Xiaotian might co by again.
He also instructed Xiao’er at the front, "If the young mistress of the Guo family cos, inform in the kitchen."
"Got it," Xiao’er agreed, though he was quite puzzled inside as to why Head Chef Li was so attentive to the young mistress of the Guo family.
Li Fugui stayed in the kitchen, learning to make pastries while waiting for Xiaotian.
But to his disappointnt, he didn’t receive any news of Xiaotian all day.
He anxiously went to the hall several tis to inquire, "Has the young mistress of the Guo family arrived?"
The people in the kitchen were becoming suspicious, "What’s going on with Head Chef Li? He seems eager to see the young mistress of the Guo family."
"Don’t worry about it. It’s Head Chef Li’s business, let’s not discuss it."
Another day passed like this, still without word from Xiaotian.
Li Fugui was extrely disappointed, but the thought of the following day being the day to visit the Guo Mansion reignited his hope.
He still needed to carry out the original plan, to tamper with the pastries, and arrange to et Xiaotian.
Returning to his residence, he began to prepare.
He found paper and pen, intending to write a note and hide it in the pastries.
He sat there pondering what ssage to write.
"Are you doing well?"
"I want to see you."
"Is he treating you well?"
"I want to take you away."
"..."
"..."
Unconsciously, he had written quite a bit, but felt none was right, so he crumpled them all up and tossed them aside.
After thinking it over, he finally wrote down one sentence, believing it was the only one that would make her find a way to et him.
In fact, tampering with the pastries was his last resort.
His optimal plan was to find an opportunity to speak with Xiaotian directly at the Guo Mansion.
If the opportunity arose, he would seize it.
That night, Li Fugui couldn’t sleep well again; he thought about many things regarding the visit to the Guo Mansion the next day, and before he knew it, it was dawn.
He then went to wait at the Yuelai Restaurant, and soon the Guo Mansion’s carriage ca to pick him up.
Re-entering the Guo Mansion filled him with mixed emotions, feeling weak for not directly taking her away and having to sneak around like this.
However, now that she was the young mistress of the Guo family, much had changed.
Quickly, he was in the kitchen, and as soon as he was inside, the kitchen maids gathered around him, "Oh my, Head Chef, you’re finally here."
Li Fugui smiled, "Haha, yes, it’s been days since we’ve seen each other. How has your young mistress been eating these days?"
"Sa as always, which is why we said, you’re finally here," said the head chef, as she ushered everyone to get busy.
She then pulled Li Fugui aside, "Head Chef, we agreed that today you’ll teach a few dishes so I can cook for the young mistress."
How could Li Fugui not understand what the head chef ant? Everyone has their way of surviving, and besides, he had already agreed. "Don’t worry, I’ll teach you in a while."
