Chapter 96: Need Yuan's help!
A few minutes later, Ling Shen came with the delicious food she had prepared and placed it on Xiangli Fei's table.
"Your Highness, hope you will like this." She said moving a strand of her brown hair behind her ear.
Xiangli Fei nodded her head and glanced at Yuan and Zhang Fumin in the corner of her eyes.
Feeling her gaze, Yuan glanced at her, and Xiangli Fei quickly averted her gaze away, a slight blush spreading across her cheeks.
Yuan frowned slightly and turned his head to Zhang Fumin who was sitting beside him "You said... she is your Big Sister. What is her name?"
Wha- Zhang Fumin was dumbfounded and narrowed her gaze "Yuan, are you interested in her? Little brother, she is a bitch."
"So, don't go near her."
Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and asked "I just wanted to know her name."
Hearing his question, Ning Xia hushed in a low voice "Young Lord, her name is Xiangli Fei, the first princess of this Xiangli Kingdom."
Yuan glanced at Zhang Fumin and asked "So, you wanted to beat her at the tournament that is going to happen in five days from now on?"
Zhang Fumin nodded her head and shot a cold glance at Xiangli Fei "Yeah, it is that bitch."
Feeling a cold stare, Xiangli Fei's red eyes moved and her eyes locked with Zhang Fumin's.
A sly smirk appeared on her lips and nerves popped on Zhang Fumin's forehead looking at this.
Yuan noticed their interaction and asked "Your last name is Zhang... while hers is Xiangli? How come? Aren't both of you the daughters of the king?"
Zhang Fumin rolled her eyes and replied "At first my name was Xiangli Fumin, but later I took my mother's name and cut ties with the Kingdom."
"So I am Zhang Fumin now."
"I see..." Yuan uttered as he took a spoonful of food to eat.
At this time, an idea appeared in Zhang Fumin's mind and a smirk stretched across her cheeks.
She raised her hand wrapping it around Yuan as she uttered in a coy tone "Yuean, my dear... Here.. I shall feed it for you."
Zhang Fumin took a spoonful of food and brought it near Yuan's lips "Here..."
Yuan didn't mind it and opened his lips eating the food from her spoon.
Seeing this scene, Xiangli Fei's eyes darkened and her lips twitched in frustration 'Is she showing off her lover? Surely he is handsome.. uhhh.'
Zhang Fumin giggled in her mind and continued to act intimate with Yuan irritating Xiangli Fei.
Yuan also noticed why she was doing that and asked "You are trying to annoy her?"
Zhang Fumin nodded her head and replied "Yes, little brother... play along with me."
Seeing them, Ning Xia giggled in her heart and continued to eat her meal.
She glanced at Yuan in admiration because even the way he was eating his food was so elegant and looked beautiful.
Xiang Fei controlled her frustration and continued her meal as Ling Shen also occasionally came there to ask if she wanted anything.
A few minutes later, Zhang Fumin, Yuan and Ning Xiue completed their meal.
Ling Shen quickly came there to clear up the dishes and a bit later, Zhang Fumin entered the kitchen.
"Aunty Shen."
Ling Shen who was working in the kitchen turned her head and smiled "Fumin..."
Zhang Fumin walked to her and gently grasped her hand as she placed a pouch of gold coins.
"This is the money Xia borrowed from you for the past two months and for also the food you gave her and the meal we had just now."
Feeling the weight of the gold coins, Ling Shen blinked her eyes "But there is a lot of money."
Zhang Fumin nodded her head and spoke with a tender smile "Yes, Aunty Shen... you have been taking care of me for years now and I don't know how else I could show my gratefulness."
"So you can keep this money. You can renovate the inn if you want..."
Ling Shen's gaze trembled and she hugged Zhang Fumin "Thank you so much, dear..."
"Thank you so much.."
Yuan walked up to the doorstep and saw Ling Shen hugging Zhang Fumin who was being so emotional.
Looking at them, his gaze grew tender and a smile appeared on his lips 'This.. feeling is better than sex.'
A little later, they pulled back from the hug and Ling Shen saw Yuan, who was standing on the doorstep, as she hurriedly wiped away her tears.
She then glanced at Zhang Fumin and spoke "I will renovate the inn, introduce new dishes to the menu, and also add some workers."
Zhang Fumin nodded her head "En, we also help in that."
Ling Shen replied with a nod "Yes, Hang Bao festival and the tournament are also coming. So along with them, many people from other kingdoms are going to come here."
"We can do good sales."
Zhang Fumin's gaze narrowed as she remembered "Yeah, the Hang Bao festival is coming..."
Ling Shen gave a nod "And so, I want your little brother's help on that."
"Hm? Yuan's help?"
Ling Shen moved beside Yuan and gently clasped his cheek "See this man, his handsome face... his eyes, his whole being screams HOT!"
"So, I think I can advertise my inn with this hot guy here."
Zhang Fumin tilted her head "And... how are you going to do it?"
Ling Shen hugged Yuan's arm and said "When people see such a hot man working in my inn, many women would flock here to steal glances at him... so I can gain popularity by that way."
"And I will hypnotize them with my cooking skills and make them good customers of my inn. hehe..."
"How does that sound?"
Yuan smiled faintly looking at the energetic middle-aged woman and Zhang Fumin let out a sigh "Well, ask Yuan... if he wants to."
Ling Shen looked at him with puppy eyes and spoke "Please... I can prepare meals for you freely."
Letting out a soft chuckle, Yuan nodded his head "Okay."
"Yaaayyy!!"
Zhang Fumin's eyes softened as she saw Yuan smiling 'He is cute...'
