Chapter 863 - Reuniting (5) (2/2)

However, when Nan Zhi heard the names of these dishes, her organs were twisting within her already.

These few dishes were the ones that she had made before she left.

Now that he was asking her to make them, did he recognize her?

How had he recognized her? She had already done her best to change the flavors of the banquet food so that he would not recognize it to be her cooking. However…

Feng Yao glanced behind at Nan Zhi. Remembering the words she had said in the car, he smiled and said, “Honey, it’s been hard on you tonight. After the banquet, I’ll reward you properly!”

Nan Zhi met Feng Yao’s eyes, knowing that he was helping her so she hummed with a hidden smile.

Their conversation sounded a little ambiguous to others.

Mu Sihan narrowed his dark eyes slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face before he spoke to Helian Zhu, “Since the main chef is tired, there’s no need to trouble her!” With that said, he turned to walk out of the kitchen.

Helian Zhu hurriedly followed after him.

Staring at the man’s extremely cold back, Nan Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and yet, she felt extremely sad as well. Her heart seemed to have lost its support as it sunk more and more.

Feng Yao hugged Nan Zhi’s shoulders, asking softly, “Are you okay?”

Nan Zhi recollected her emotions. “Yes, thank you for earlier.”

“It’s nothing. I know what you’re thinking. You can go back after tomorrow.”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Alright. I’ll do my work first, you should go out and do your work too!”

…

After they were done with everything in the kitchen, it was about ten at night.

Mr Henry called Nan Zhi over. “You must be tired, come over and take a short rest?”

Nan Zhi sat next to Henry.

Henry took out a bottle of wine, pouring one cup for Nan Zhi. “I used to learn from your Master in the past. Do you remember that he liked to drink this type of wine as well? Every time after work, he would invite me to drink a few cups.”

…

After Feng Yao was done with his work and went to the kitchen to find Nan Zhi, she was leaning against a wall in a corner, holding onto an empty wine gla.s.s and she seemed a little tipsy.

Feng Yao took the wine gla.s.s from her, holding onto her shoulders. “Why did you drink?”

Nan Zhi smiled, her body shaking. “Henry brought it over. We talked about Master and got a little sad, so we drank a few cups. Who knew that the alcohol would have such a strong effect? From the looks of it, I have to trouble you to bring me back to my hotel.”

Feng Yao did not know to be happy or sad. Did she trust him so much even when she was drunk?

“You know that I have a crush on you, yet you’re asking me to bring you back. Aren’t you afraid of meー”

Nan Zhi interrupted Feng Yao’s unfinished words with a smile. “I know that you appear to be playful, but you’re a complete gentlemen. If not, with your wealth, you would have long forced yourself on me, wouldn’t you?”

Feng Yao hummed. “Women are not cute when they’re too smart.”

Nan Zhi’s eyes curled up, a mischievousness that she did not have usually appearing. “I’m not going for the cute image either.”

Feng Yao was speechless.

The drunk woman was clearly a lot cuter than her usual cold and indifferent manner.

Feng Yao had the urge to let her stay in the castle. However, in the end, his rationality still won over that urge.

He drove her to Tergu’s only seven-star hotel.

Feng Yao parked the car in front of the entrance and helped Nan Zhi out.

Just as he was about to help Nan Zhi into the lobby, a cold voice suddenly trailed over. “Young Master Feng.”

Feng Yao turned back, freezing slightly when he saw the man that was getting off the black limousine.
