"Is that the young master’s fiancée? She’s really pretty!"
"What’s the use of being pretty? Do you know where she’s from? Phoenix Mountain in Kaiyang! It’s one of the top ten poorest counties in the country!"
"Huh?"
"You have no idea how dirty it is over there. I heard they don’t bathe for ten days, half a month, and there’s more..."
"Ahem!"
"Uncle Zhang!"
The two maids working in the kitchen were sneaking peeks at Chi Youyou in the dining room when Uncle Zhang coughed lightly, and they instantly returned to their work.
"Dine."
It’s unclear whether Uncle Zhang heard anything or not; he just left after saying two words.
The two exchanged glances and went back to work, feeling dispirited.
Dining room.
Chi Youyou sat nervously across from Song Shiyu, occasionally sneaking a glance at him.
Before coming, she thought she had to confidently break off the engagent with him, but now she felt so timid...
Especially since she always thought her fiancé would be a triple loser: bad temper, bad looks, and bad health!
Who knew he’d be so handso!
But if she doesn’t bring it up today, would he think she actually wants to marry him?
(ﾒ｀ﾛ´)/
Maybe say it now?
"Um, Song Shiyu, I..."
She hesitated for a long ti and finally made up her mind, however...
"Starters: sesa fish, cashew celery, oil-braised fresh mushrooms with honey tomatoes."
"Soup: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
"Main courses: pearl fish balls, lotus leaf chicken, stir-fried seasonal vegetables..."
The maid pushed the dishes over to them and placed them on the table one by one.
"Hmm? Is sothing wrong?"
Song Shiyu noticed her sudden silence and looked up, seeing her staring intently at the table just like that snow on the internet!
Just...
Quite cute!
"Oh, it’s nothing! I just wanted to say, thank you for the hospitality, sorry for any disturbance these past few days, and please forgive ."
These dishes are too extravagant!
Chi Youyou abruptly stopped herself and swallowed back all thoughts of breaking the engagent.
Facing such a table full of exquisite dishes, bringing up the engagent-breaking topic would be such a killjoy!
She decided to bring it up after the al!
"You’re welco, have a al."
Song Shiyu raised an eyebrow, seemingly unaware of her little sche.
He could bet that she changed her mind only after seeing the table full of food.
"Then I won’t hold back. Zaozao, pick whatever you want to eat~"
Chi Youyou had already been itching to dive in. She originally thought the natural flavor of food was good enough, but now she realized she was wrong!
Color, aroma, and taste together are indeed the best!
Chi Zaozao gave her a disapproving sideways glance, knowing that Chi Youyou couldn’t resist such fancy things—how superficial!
The nearby maid looked disdainful; tch, tch, tch, coming from the mountains with no knowledge!
This is just the start!
Does she even know what these dishes are? Does she know how to eat them?
"Wow, this soup is really good! Abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw... I didn’t expect these things could be combined, it’s the effect of 1 1>2!"
The maid was just feeling scornful when she heard Chi Youyou exclaim in amazent.
She actually recognized them!
"Do they have abalone and sea cucumber where you’re from?"
Song Shiyu was also quite curious. According to the information, she never left Kaiyang and her activities were mostly around Phoenix Mountain.
Moreover... as far as he knew, there are no sea areas near Phoenix Mountain.
"Yes, my dad raises them himself, but every ti he only steams them or makes a simple clear soup. I’m so tired of eating them, right, Zaozao."
Chi Youyou finished the last bit of soup in her small bowl, wiped her mouth with her handkerchief, and explained.
Tired of eating them...
The maid rolled her eyes; isn’t she exaggerating a bit much?
If she were the young master, she wouldn’t even give her a chance to eat, she’d just kick her out!
What a phony thing!
She’s such a faker!
