The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1463 - 1547: The Spoiled Are Fearless

Chapter 1463: Chapter 1547: The Spoiled Are Fearless
Chapter Three:
The one who is favored acts fearlessly, always assuming that the other’s affection is deep-rooted, believing that no matter the time or place, turning back will reveal the other waiting behind.
Little did they realize, love is the most troublesome word, and it hurts the most; often when love becomes too weary and hard to sustain, one might think it better to just leave, to escape entirely, which would end one’s tormenting struggle.
Though unsure whether her suspicion was correct, Ah Lian believed this was likely the true mindset of Marshal Baowei when he left the capital.
Not only because he occasionally lost control and went mad from the Gu poison,
but more so because this affection had become too burdensome, and the die had already been cast. The beloved had become someone else’s, the love was too exhausting, too wearying, and even if he wanted to entangle himself further, it was impossible. Moreover, someone like that was never good at clinging shamelessly.
If it weren’t for the young master’s eager pursuit in the past, given his passive nature, it’s likely nothing would have sparked between them for a lifetime.
The dishes in the restaurant came quickly. The dishes Ah Lian had ordered were brought in by tray, one after another, into the elegant room.
Ah Lian took out a jade box from her bosom, which contained a pair of ivory white long chopsticks. She cleaned them with tea water and wiped them clean before gently reminding Qinghe, "Young master, it’s time to eat."
Qinghe retracted his gaze from the window, sitting up straight slowly, but facing the table full of dishes, he truly had no appetite.
Oh well, he should eat something; otherwise, his body couldn’t take it. If he neither ate nor drank, he feared that before finding the woman who knew Baobao’s burial place, his own body wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
He picked up the chopsticks, tasting only a bite of each dish, eating very slowly. But when he plunged his chopsticks into the steamed mandarin fish, an exotic fragrance wafted up.
The fish’s aroma was fresh yet rich.
He placed a piece of fish in his mouth, chewing it carefully, surprisingly tasting a hint of flavor.
Ah Lian watched Qinghe closely, knowing that the young master disliked being disturbed while eating, so she remained silent. Yet, she seemed to understand Qinghe’s unspoken thoughts, and just from his indifferent expression, she knew this dish must have suited Qinghe’s palate.
Seeing Qinghe take another piece of fish, appearing with an appetite, Ah Lian’s eyes brightened. She thought to herself that she should inquire more about this cook. Given that the young master had been picky for days, if possible, once their tasks here were completed and they returned to the capital, perhaps they could bring this cook along?
Thus, even if the young master would eat just a bit more at each meal, it would be an improvement!
Dong Huiying was unaware that the scoundrel she was desperately avoiding was now seated in the elegant room on the restaurant’s second floor, savoring the steamed mandarin fish she had cooked a short while ago.
She was busy around the stove, sweat streaming down her face.
"Helper Liang, why do you sweat so much?" Zhang Er asked with a curious look.
Dong Huiying: "..." She thought to herself that she didn’t want to sweat either, but there was no choice; her frame was too small. To support this seemingly burly figure, she had padded herself with several layers of cotton clothing and stuffed in a lot of cotton beneath the jacket.
Why was she sweating?
Wasn’t it because she was too bundled up!
Before she knew it, it was mealtime again, and the kitchen crew wished they could split themselves in half, using one person as two.
Another bustling day came to an end.
In the evening, Ah Lian and Qinghe returned to the same restaurant, this time Ah Lian specifically ordered dishes made by the newly arrived Helper Liang. Although the young master only had half a bowl of rice along with the dishes, it was a significant improvement from previous days.
This filled Ah Lian with great happiness.
