Chapter 51 Hungry

“Well, who else do you want to invite? It’s my treat,” Zhou Lin said.

This man was afraid of hearing his nephew’s name.

“No, forget it.” Yun Xi firmly rejected the suggestion.

She was still a little afraid of Zhou Lin. She felt that he was like poison. The closer she got to him, the more addictive he would be. She was afraid that she would be trapped in this gentleness, unable to extricate herself.

“Why? Are you afraid of me?”

Looking at Yun Xi’s somewhat evasive gaze, Zhou Lin felt a little sad. He knew that Yun Xi was still somewhat wary of him.

“I… Why would I be afraid of You? I just feel that…”

Yun Xi did not know how to explain this problem to Zhou Lin. After all, they were in a very awkward state.

In the end, she could only brace herself and agree to go out to eat with him.

“That’s good. In that case, let’s go!”

As Zhou Lin spoke, he walked out of the room. After taking a few steps, he thought of something and turned around to ask, “Yun Lian, are you following us today?”

It turned out that Yun Lian had also heard their movements the entire morning. She looked at the two of them pitifully as if she also wanted to go.

“Mm, I’m also a guest. I can’t stay at home all the time.”

“I’m really sorry. I only bring my fiancée out to eat. If you want to go out to eat something, let Ah Mo take you!”

Zhou Lin said this on purpose. Actually, he did this to prevent Yun Lian from following them and ruining his plan.

At the same time, Zhou Lin said this to tell Yun Xi that he had a fiancée and that only his fiancée would be by his side. It gave Yun Xi the sense of security she wanted.

After Zhou Lin said this, Yun Lian’s heart instantly turned cold.

‘Zhou Lin is complaining that I’m in the way!’

“Alright then!”

Yun Lian lowered her head and agreed unhappily.

Zhou Lin nodded in satisfaction.

“Let’s go!”

Zhou Lin said to Yun Xi. Yun Lian looked at Yun Xi and said reluctantly, “Sister, have fun!”

After saying that, Yun Lian even pretended to fake a few tears. Nonetheless, they were not with the Yun family, so no one would spoil this pretentious girl.

Under Zhou Lin’s arrangement, Yun Xi went out to eat breakfast with him. This breakfast was a frightening experience for Yun Xi. Zhou Lin kept taking care of Yun Xi and had been putting food in her bowl.

‘Is this man treating me so well out of his will or a sense of duty as a soldier to complete a mission?’

“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Let’s eat.”

The atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange. Yun Xi could only lower her head and quietly finish the meal.

On the other hand…

Zhou Mo followed the style of the eldest son of a rich family. He slept until the sun was high in the sky. He did not even consider the fact that his goddess still needed to eat.

Old Master Zhou saw that his son had left with his daughter-in-law. He went out to look for his old friend to go out for a meal. He did not want to care about his rebellious grandson and the cheap girl he brought.

Therefore, even though it was late in the morning, Yun Lian was still forced to go hungry.

Yun Lian did not eat well in Yun Gang’s family. If there was anything good to eat there, of course, it would be given to the son. It was a little better when Yun Gang was an officer, but after Yun Lian’s adoptive father was removed from his position, she could only be envious of other people’s food.

Although she was treated as non-existent yesterday, it was still the most decent meal that she had eaten in such a long time.

Her stomach was full yesterday. To be honest, she was still a little hungry. That said, she did not know what she should do at the moment. She was unwilling to be hungry just like that.

The Zhou family’s old residence also had a kitchen. Yun Lian thought that she might as well cook a meal herself. Coincidentally, the annoying Old Master Yun was not around. She could still create the image of a good wife and mother in Zhou Mo’s mind.

As such, Yun Lian acted right away. She hurriedly went to the kitchen of the old residence. She looked at the kitchen and saw that there were quite a number of ingredients indeed. There were also vegetables that she had never seen before.

Yun Lian’s heart was filled with joy. Despite that, what happened next made her feel troubled.

The kitchen utensils of the Zhou family were not comparable to the kitchen stoves in the countryside. How should the tool on the stove be used?
