Fober was of considerable status at home. It was this person in the room who made him show such respect.
Who was this person?
Yun Qing carried the breakfast to the door of the room.
She saw that the door was slightly ajar and there was no one inside.
She walked in and placed the breakfast on the table, preparing to leave.
However—
Just as she put down the plate, a huge sense of oppression suddenly descended upon her.
"Who let you in?" The man's familiar, cold voice made Yun Qing's scalp tingle. She turned around and collided into Huo Jingshen's pair of cold, emotionless eyes.
Yun Qing involuntarily shuddered.
Huo Jingshen glanced at the breakfast she brought.
Are you trying to please me?"
Yun Qing immediately shook her head.
She lifted her little face and, with innocent, clear eyes, looked at him.
Such a look could easily evoke a man's affection.
A faint, bitter mockery appeared on Huo Jingshen's stern face.
Clearly, he didn't buy this.
"Put your thoughts on the old lady..." The man's cool hand clamped onto her delicate and exquisite chin, his dark eyes brimming with malice.
"If I find you step half a step into here again, I'll break your legs!
Get out!"
After saying that, he coldly shook his hand away.
Yun Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed.
She immediately turned around and left, but when she reached the door, she stopped again.
Master Fu, the housekeeper, was still standing far outside.
The old lady had deliberately arranged for her to bring breakfast to Huo Jingshen.
It was obviously her attempt to match him.
If she couldn't get Huo Jingshen to eat breakfast, in the old lady's eyes, she would be an unqualified daughter-in-law, and she would have no value.
If the old lady didn't like her, Huo Jingshen would definitely not keep her...
Yun Qing gritted her teeth and neither left nor did she close the door. Instead, she closed it.
Huo Jingshen heard the sound and raised his eyes, seeing the little woman who had been so scared just now, returning again.
She picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote a note and handed it to Huo Jingshen.
-- "Your Highness, having breakfast is good for your health."
Huo Jingshen's dark eyes narrowed slightly. The second note was passed over again.
"I'll eat with you. Two people eating makes it more delicious."
He coolly lifted his eyelid and looked at the little woman in front of him.
When their eyes met, Yun Qing's eyebrows and eyes curved, and she gave Huo Jingshen an exceptionally bright and cheerful smile.
Huo Jingshen expressionlessly folded the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can: "Go away."
Yun Qing: "... "
Huo Jingzhen ignored her and continued reading the documents.
There was no more sound in the room.
But soon, a fragrance wafted in.
The aroma of the food was mixed with a faint medicinal scent, fresh and not overpowering, very capable of arousing one's appetite...
Yun Qing was sitting at the table, pouring her homemade medicinal honey into the breakfast and mixing it with a spoon.
Noticing the gaze that Huo Jingzhen was giving her, she deliberately, in front of his face, scooped up a large spoonful and put it in her mouth, eating with a look of enjoyment.
The vein on Huo Jingzhen's forehead twitched slightly, and the document in his hand was slightly creased.
Yun Qing didn't want to be too arrogant.
She stopped when she saw a good result and quickly mixed the medicine soup for Huo Jingshen as well, then handed it over. She obediently scooped a spoonful and fed it to him at the edge of his mouth, letting him taste it.
"Go away! I... "
Huo Jingshen began to refuse, but Yun Qing was quick and grabbed the medicine soup and fed it into his mouth.
Huo Jingshen frowned and was about to vomit, but the food and the medicinal fragrance blended together, giving a sweet taste upon entering the mouth, instantly invading the taste buds, with an extremely delicious texture... Surprisingly, it was unexpectedly delicious!
He had always been picky about flavors.
The chefs at Yuming Garden were also carefully selected, but no medicine soup had ever been better than this one.
This woman... What did she add in it?
Huo Jingshen involuntarily swallowed the food in his mouth.
He glanced at the mixed breakfast on the table, hesitated, and reached out to scoop a spoonful and put it in his mouth... Finally, he simply picked up the bowl and ate it all up.
Yun Qing gave a slight smile.
Surely, no one could resist her exclusive medicinal honey!
Huo Jingshen put down the empty bowl without any rice left, glanced at the little woman beside him with a grateful expression, "What did you add in it?"
Yun Qing took out her precious medicinal honey bottle.
Huo Jingshen removed the lid and smelled it.
It was several kinds of medicine.
Then, Yun Qing watched helplessly as Huo Jingshen casually placed her precious little medicine into the drawer.
He glanced at Yun Qing who was still standing nearby.
"Would you like me to escort you out?" "..."
Damn it!
Men who cheat and manipulate women's emotions by taking things away after they're finished eating!
Yun Qing endured the humiliation silently, placed an empty bowl on the table, and walked away with a puffed-up face.
"Brother Four!" Lu Xiu climbed in through the window, "Brother Four, I just seemed to see a woman leave your study... "
"You must have mistaken something," Huo Jingshen interrupted him calmly.
"Oh..." Lu Xiu scratched his head, probably he was just seeing things wrongly.
Brother Four is an eternal fir tree.
How could there be a woman here!
Lu Xiu handed the plastic bag in his hand to Huo Jingshen.
"Brother Four, all the information about your mute young bride is in here. I checked, she has nothing to do with the woman you're looking for.
In the dozen or so villages near that cave, there is no one with the surname Yun."
