Chapter 231: Filled with Their Own Thoughts (2) (2/2)

Old Duke Zheng was full of energy. His punches were brimming with power. There was no trace of the man who had been on his deathbed just six days ago after almost starving to death.

The power of gourmet food was really quite miraculous.

“House Jing’an’s Third Young Madam, otherwise known as Honoured Lady Jinyi, is about to open up a restaurant tomorrow. If Grandfather would like to go and take a look, Grandson happens to have two invites here.”

“Honoured Lady Jinyi is that girl who came to our estate with Matriarch He the other day?”

“Indeed she is. That favoured maidservant you have here was left behind by Honoured Lady Jinyi.”

“That does sound interesting. Leave one invite for Grandfather then!”

Heir Zheng was so happy that even his eyebrows were beaming.

After grandfather and grandson finished an hour of exercise together and took a shower, a senior servant entered the room to inform them that breakfast was ready.

Old Duke Zheng brought his grandson to the parlour, where the table had been laid out with a variety of dishes. There were steamed rice cakes, flower rolls, steamed dumplings, fried breadsticks, and also some steaming hot pork porridge.

They could the smell the tempting aroma of the food even from the entrance of the parlour. The two men were already starving, so they quickly walked right in and sat at the table.

As Old Duke Zheng looked over the table laden with breakfast foods he had never seen before, a passionate fire seemed to be burning in his eyes. He shot a look at Mingyan, who was waiting by his side. “Mingyan, quick, tell me what all these are.”

After Old Duke Zheng spoke up, Heir Zheng turned to look at Mingyan, who was standing by the table. When Mingyan caught sight of Heir Zheng’s gaze from the corner of her eyes, a faint blush covered her cheeks. However, she still managed to say, “Replying to Old Duke Zheng and Heir Zheng, the plate over on that end contains a dish called ‘Double Golden Spears’. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside…”

Mingyan’s gentle voice resounded within the parlour, but as Heir Zheng continued listening, he sensed something wrong.

Although this girl was introducing the dishes properly, there wasn’t any mention of Honoured Lady Jinyi in her descriptions. By excluding her, Mingyan was trying to imply that she had been the one to invent all these dishes. How was that possible!

Heir Zheng’s brows furrowed together as he took another look at Mingyan. This time, Mingyan also turned to meet his gaze. Her eyes were flush with desire, like a soft autumn wind.

Heir Zheng stiffened and quickly turned his gaze away.

Of course, all these little interactions had fallen into Old Duke Zheng’s sharp eyes.
