"Yunrong, no, I'll go myself." Mu Qianqian pulled on Hua Yunrong's arm, her eyes unable to bear the sight.
"Then let's go together. You've vomited quite a bit recently, so it's rare for you to want to eat. Don't worry, I can make simple meals."
"NO!" No need! "Yunrong, I'm fine by myself, there are a lot of customers coming. Go and help your dad with his social events!"
"Of course, you're more important than Dad. Besides, Uncle Ling is here too, so they don't need me. I just need Qianqian to accompany me!"
Hua Yunrong didn't notice the strangeness in Mu Qianqian's tone. He grabbed Mu Qianqian's arm and walked towards the kitchen.
Mu Qianqian clenched her fist tightly, afraid that Hua Yunrong would notice the money in her hand.
Even if she had come to Rong Family Great House, she had never lacked any items that she would need. Ting Lan and Hua Yunrong had arranged everything perfectly for her.
If they saw that she had money, she would not say anything, and Hua Yunrong and Ting Lan would guess that she was planning to leave secretly.
Mu Qianqian nervously followed Hua Yunrong to the kitchen. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at the servants' room that Hua Yunrong had entered before, afraid that she would leave some clues that would arouse suspicion.
In the kitchen, Mu Qianqian looked at the rows of soup cans and the different kinds of finished or half-finished dishes with her mouth agape. Especially the way Hua Yunrong was skillfully handling the kitchen knife in his apron, it simply refreshed Hua Yunrong's image in her heart.
"You can cook? Aren't you Rong Family Second Young Master? "You are an adopted son, so I don't think Uncle Rong would treat you unfairly."
The kitchen knife in Hua Yunrong's hand sliced the potato shreds rhythmically. This was the dish Mu Qianqian ordered after entering the restaurant.
It was simple and convenient. She wanted to wait for Hua Yunrong to finish and leave immediately after she ate.
"Of course dad wouldn't abuse me, but when I was young, he would always cause trouble and needed dad and big brother to help me clean up this mess." Of course dad wouldn't treat me well, but when I was young, he would always cause trouble and needed dad and big brother to help me clean up this mess.
Hua Yunrong's words surprised Mu Qianqian. When she thought of Old Master Rong's dignity and Rong Heting's indifference, Mu Qianqian really could not think of how they would defend someone when they were outside.
"Why does the kitchen smell like Chinese herbal medicine?"
Mu Qianqian had a good sense of smell. She watched Hua Yunrong cook and started to check out the furniture in the kitchen when she had nothing else to do.
A few servants were busying themselves not far away. They didn't seem surprised when they saw Hua Yunrong cooking. Mu Qianqian was sure that Hua Yunrong cooked frequently. It seemed like he must also be in trouble.
Hua Yunrong held a knife in his hand. Hearing Mu Qianqian's question, he raised his chin towards the medicine jars on the fire not far away.
"My dad can't take any stimulation, and his body isn't considered good. All year round, he ate Chinese medicine to recuperate himself. It was all Bai Sheng's fault. You don't know how good Bai Sheng's achievement in Chinese medicine is!"
Mu Qianqian curiously walked to the side of the medicine pot and reached for the lid.
"Wait, stop!"
"Bam!"
"Hiss!"
Mu Qianqian didn't expect the lid of the medicine jar to be so hot. She didn't have much experience cooking or decocting medicine, she was just curious about what Bai Sheng had made. Unexpectedly, it burned her hand.
Seeing the blisters rapidly rise on the swollen part of her fingers, Hua Yunrong grabbed Mu Qianqian's wrist and rushed to the sink. The tap was quickly turned on and cold water rushed into her palm.
"Endure Qianqian, it's fine!" The area is not considered big, and soon it will stop hurting! "
Mu Qianqian felt a little bit of pain. She threw away the lid very quickly, so the area wasn't that big. She wanted to tease Hua Yunrong out of his surprise, but she couldn't keep the words out of her mouth.
Mu Qianqian's eyes turned red and her heart was filled with emotions.
"Yunrong, you're more and more liked by girls now. You know how to cook and you know how to care about people, and you're rich and handsome too. People are capable, so you're the first choice for a girl's husband."
"Then why don't you marry me?"2
Hua Yunrong completely followed Mu Qianqian's words. However, even he stopped his own movement after saying that question. Even his breathing became stagnant for a split-second.
Only when he said it did he realize that he had said what he wanted to say the most. It was also what he desired the most from the bottom of his heart.
Mu Qianqian was also stunned, but she soon felt relieved. She often joked around when she wasn't arguing with Yunrong.
With her other good palm, she pushed Hua Yunrong back before she could look at her face again. Mu Qianqian didn't want Hua Yunrong to see the tears in her eyes.
Her leaving without saying goodbye might have been a form of harm to Yunrong.
Thinking of what Ling Jinghan had told her, Mu Qianqian smiled and shed tears. However, no sound could be heard from her crying voice.
"I don't want to marry you. When I accompanied you to the banquet, who knows how many women liked you, causing me to be looked down upon by others. Wouldn't I have to endure the jealousy of women everyday if I were to marry you?"
Hua Yunrong smiled bitterly. Disappointment surged up in his heart. He tried his best not to turn around, only then was he able to speak calmly.
"Qianqian, there are more women who like my big brother than me."
Mu Qianqian's eyes flashed to the face of the man who would smile gently at her, murmuring softly, "So I won't marry your big brother."
"Qianqian, don't …"
"Great monster, you're really long-winded. I'm already hungry, why aren't you getting fired?"
Mu Qianqian interrupted Hua Yunrong and urged him to cook.
Since she was about to leave, of course she wouldn't marry Rong Heting again. That man should have forgotten about her.
He didn't belong to her in the first place. Now that she had left, everything returned to how it was before. From then on, she and Rong Heting were people living in two different worlds.
Hua Yunrong did not continue this topic. After being rejected once, he did not have the courage to listen to Qianqian say it a second time.
The kitchen was filled with the fragrance of medicine. Very soon, the fragrance of potato shreds overcame the smell of herbs and drifted into Mu Qianqian's nose.
Ten minutes later, Mu Qianqian had a fragrant rice dish in front of her. Next to the rice dish was the red and green potato chips that Hua Yunrong had cooked for her.
Hua Yunrong put red pepper and green pepper for her flavour!
Mu Qianqian took the chopsticks and started to enjoy her delicacies. Under Hua Yunrong's expectation, she stuffed a lot of food into her bowl.
This was the meal Yunrong had cooked for her, so of course she would eat it properly. Seeing Hua Yunrong's curved face, Mu Qianqian also smiled slightly.
"Slow down, if you like it, I'll make it for you every day."
"Alright, then I'll have a good meal every day. I definitely won't be picky with my food."
"At least you have a conscience." Seeing that Mu Qianqian was enjoying her meal, the smile on Hua Yunrong's face became more profound.
