Chapter 370 - Chapter 370: Chapter 377: Will Understand (2/2)
“There’s no need, you may leave,” Han Yu said, stepping to the side, ensuring that Chi Feifei did not touch him. Although he had to act intimate for the sake of the ruse just moments ago, Han Yu was insistent about his own boundaries, which he had promised to his wife.
“Master, shall I head to the Kitchen then and prepare several fine dishes for you? Your servant lacks other talents, but cooking is one craft I’ve specially learned from home’s chef. You’ve been so busy these days, Master, you probably haven’t had time for a proper meal. It would be a good chance to sample your servant’s culinary skills.”
Chi Feifei, undeterred by Han Yu’s rejection, boasted of her cooking skills, hoping to showcase them to Han Yu. Such an excellent man, surely not comparable to those lechers, the fact that he wasn’t dazzled by her beauty spoke volumes of his resolve. It was such a man who deserved her, Chi Feifei. Had it been before, given her Merchant’s Daughter background, she might barely match Lord Han. Though now in a fallen state, what did that matter? The chance encounter with such a Good man conveyed her luck had not run out. Relying on her charm and beauty, she was confident she could win over this man.
Han Yu, reminded by Chi Feifei’s boastful manner of his culinary skills, thought of his wife. What did she say about her cooking skills? Could it be better than his Daughter-in-law’s? Seeing the expectant look on Chi Feifei, which clearly revealed ambition and desire, Han Yu’s face turned cold.
“You know why I bought you, and you have agreed to my terms. Once this is behind us, I will return your contract of sale to you and give you your freedom. As for other, ill-considered desires, do not entertain them, or your outcome will be a hundred times more tragic than being sold into a Brothel. So, do your duty well and let me not see you make any more unruly moves, or you’ll suffer consequences that you cannot bear,” Han Yu said coldly, his icy gaze sharply fixed on Chi Feifei.
Chi Feifei, seeing Han Yu’s stern demeanor, was genuinely frightened. Being thrust into a Brothel, she had nearly lost her purity, a fate worse than death. A hundred times worse than that—what would it be? As a Merchant’s Daughter, Chi Feifei had no other Ability but was very adept at reading people. Han Yu was not joking in the slightest, especially with the chilling undertones in his voice that made her shiver uncontrollably. Though her heart still harbored unwillingness and fantasies, she dared not let it show.
“Yes, this Servant Girl understands,” she responded.
“Now go,” Han Yu commanded after warning Chi Feifei and didn’t even spare her another glance, waving her off.
Yan Pingdao came over just in time to witness this scene, and he sighed internally, lamenting that the Master truly didn’t know how to cherish beauty. With Chi Feifei’s looks, any other man would have taken the opportunity, yet the Master was unmoved, his heart set only on his wife. He had never met the Madam but had heard she was beautiful. Could she be more beautiful than Chi Feifei, that she could make the Master so steadfastly devoted?
“How is it, has the news been spread?” As soon as Yan Pingdao approached, Han Yu asked.
“Master, rest assured, the matter has been handled. If your Subordinate isn’t mistaken, the Madam may already have received the news,” Yan Pingdao said cautiously. Han Yu had warned him on this matter, so he did not dare reveal too much emotion and carried out the task just as the Master had instructed, without any excesses.
Hearing Yan Pingdao’s words, Han Yu had a complex expression on his face, his heart filled with worry. He wondered how his wife would react to the news. If there had been any other option, he would not wish to act this way, but given the current situation, his position was too precarious to risk his wife’s safety. Even if she was momentarily heartbroken, she should understand once he explained everything afterward.
