3 Xiao Lan (2/2)

Both husband and wife smile and embrace each other, like they want to console each other to forget about this bad news.

-------------------------

Outside, not far from the Zhu manor

Zhu Wushang walk out of his manor to the Green lake inn, the place where his friend family own. Actually he's working as the special chef from time to time at that place, and it's make the Green lake inn name spread across the continent. And because of this. It's make his village the Mountain lake village to prosper. A lot of foodie across continent has travel to his village and bringing along the prosperity of the village.

He might not show it, but deep down, he's feeling very good about his culinary skill. He's walking past the village square that's large enough to be the town square to the road that lead to the mountain lake. The lake that's very beautiful and the location of The Green lake inn.

”Hi Shang'er” A beautiful voice of the mature woman call him while he's walking up to the mountain road.

He's turn his head to the direction of that voice, and see the overly luxurious horse carriage that's stopping beside him and at the window of the carriage appear the face of a very beautiful woman. Her white jade skin and voluptuous body make a lot of passer by traveler drool.

”Godmother? why're you here?”

This is his godmother Tian Xue'er. It's Rare to see her here in the desolate continent because she's working in the imperial court. He don't know of what position she's working in. But in this society. It's quite rare to see the woman in the position of power like his godmother.

”To eat your hand cook food of course. It's the special gourmet week of the Green lake inn isn't it?”

Right…. He's forgot that his godmother is a brain-dead foodie. She even want to bring him to live with her in the Imperial continent and work as her personal chef. There's one time that she even go so far to ask the Great Phoenix empire emperor to bestow the decree for this. Fortunately the emperor didn't comply with her stupid request.

”Come with me shang'er. I'll bring you along to The Green lake inn”

Zhu Wushang enter the carriage without much thought and go along with hid godmother carriage to the Green lake inn.

After a while the carriage stop in front of the luxuriously big structure that build entirely with the 100 years old Thousands spring wood that has a beautiful fragrant of wood, nature and many flower. It's roofed with the gold trimmed green roof tile. The word [Green lake inn] that create with the 100% gold by the skill of the master artisan hung outside of its gate.

”Thank you godmother” He thank his godmother before going inside the building.

”Ahh… i didn't meet with my little girl for a long time. I wonder if she still love me… or already hate me. Tian Xue'er murmur with low spirit. She thought about her biological daughter.

”No point thinking about it milady. You just need to apoligize to young lady and tell her the reason. Young lady is sensible, i belief that she'd understand the circumstance of her mother.” The carriage driver tell her with the smile.

”I knew that Black hawk. It's just that… haaaah..” Tian Xue'er sigh with depression before exit from her carriage and go inside the building.

-----------------

Inside the Green lake inn. Zhu Wushang walking to the kitchen zone and many of the employee of the Green lake inn greet him with enthusiasm. This is not the first time he help the Green lake inn with their business, so all of the employee knew about his culinary skill.

”Wushang!!” An innocent voice of a younger call his name before she running to him before hugging him with a happy smile

The beautiful gorgeous young girl with a beautiful waist-long black raven hair. Her appearance is just like the gorgeous doll that sculpt to perfection. If she grew up this beauty can even bring down an empire.

”Xiao Lan, stop hugging me. I need to go to kitchen”

He feel helpless about the child like behavior of this childhood friend of his. He remember that she came to live here 4 years ago. His parent ask him to befriend her, and that's the first and last time his parent ask him to befriend someone out of their own volition. At first don't think it too much. But as time pass he find it strange, because every time this Xiao Lan came to his house. His mother seems to be a little bit too polite to her even if she's try to hiding it by acting normal around Xiao Lan. But she can't hide the respectful gaze when she unconsciously looking at Xiao Lan.

But never mind that because it does not change the fact that Xiao Lan is his precious friend.
