Hao Ren was busy in the kitchen and did not care about the effect of his actions on the other people. He was making ten dishes, and the entire kitchen seemed to be his battlefield, yet, the head chef could only gawk at the finesse displayed by this young man.
After a few minutes, the two old men walked away. After half an hour, the entire mansion was filled with the faint aroma emitting from the kitchen. Han Lingshi was talking to her grandma in her room on the first floor of the mansion when she sensed a little aroma.
Her grandma was enjoying the foot massage from her beautiful grand daughter, when she sensed her stop. The lady opened her eyes and found her princess smiling at the void. She raised her brow and said, "Ling, are you thinking about him?"
Han Lingshi subconsciously nodded, and then she froze. She raised her grandma looking at her with a smile. She hurriedly shook her head and asked, "Grandma what are you talking about?"
Old Madam smiled even brighter and said, "Sweetie, if you want to lie, then why don't you first do something about the blush on your cheeks?"
Han Lingshi reached out to touch her face and hurriedly turned to look at the mirror on the side. She froze as she realized that she was not blushing at all. She turned to look at the old lady and said, "Grandma, you are bullying me."
The old lady chuckled and asked, "Tell me, who is the boy and I will stop bullying you."
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "It is not like that."
The smile on the old ladies face vanished and she spoke sternly, "Lingshi, do you think that I, Gao Yue, is dumb?"
Han Lingshi instinctively sat upright, and replied, "No, Grandma."
She was scared, even her grandfather was scared when the old lady used her full name, let alone, her. Old Madam Han asked, "Tell me who is the boy?"
Han Lingshi stood up from the stool and then she walked over to close the door. She even closed the windows and looked at many things before she said, "You really want to know?"
Old Madam Han nodded and said, "What can I be afraid of?"
Han Lingshi took a deep breath and said, "I married a random guy I met in front of the marriage registration office, and these past few days we have been getting to know each other, and I do sort of like him."
When she looked at Gao Yue, the old lady was gawking at her. She came back to her senses and said, "Tell me, who is this guy, what does he do? Who are his parents? Are you sure that person is not brown nosing you for money and stuff?"
Han Lingshi sat down before her and began to tell the old lady about a lot of things that happened these days with Hao Ren. She even told her about his family background and other things. Old Madam Han was calm, but still she was not convinced completely. She said, "I will pass on my decision after meeting the boy."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "You can meet him today, he is in the kitchen."
Old Madam Han took a deep breath and said, "You sure have guts of steel."
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "I dared him to come, and he did."
...
Hao Ren stirred a soup and sprinkled some dried herbs on it before he said, "Aunty Emma, please call everyone, the food is ready."
Emma nodded and walked out of the kitchen. A few minutes later, Old Master Han sat on the head position of the dining table, with Old Madam beside him. Han Lingshi sat next to her grandfather and across the old madam. Followed by the second lady and the first lady.
Emma waved her hands and a few servants came over with dishes. Old Master Han looked at Emma and said, "Where is the Chef? Since this is his first time cooking for us, call him over."
After a while Old Madam cleared her throat and asked, "Young man have you not made any dessert?"
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "I have, old madam."
Emma bought over five dishes with exquisite desert placed in the center. Hao Ren said, "This is Tres leches. I hope you all enjoy it."
The five people had a few spoons of the dessert and they sighed. Then began the round of praising the chef.
...
A young man stood before the french windows in his villa looking at the pool outside. He was smoking a cigarette, suddenly the phone rang, and he picked it up. The person on the other side replied, "Everything is in place, as soon as she crosses the signal, we will handle it."
The young man said in a cold voice, "I hope you do what you say, otherwise, for your sake, death would be a delight."
The person on the other side chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Han, I will handle it."
...
Hao Ren was getting inside his car when he spotted Han Lingshi walking over. He stopped and asked, "What is it?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "Thank you for today."
Hao Ren gazed around and then said, "Do you want me to kiss you right here?"
Han Lingshi was shocked and took a step back, the young man said, "If not, then please stop acting so adorable all the time."
Han Lingshi glared at him, the young man opened the car, and ignited the engine but it did not start. He frowned and then slapped his forehead. Han Lingshi asked, "What happened?"
The young man replied, "I forgot to fill in the tank, it won't last till the station."
Han Lingshi smiled and said, "Leave it here, take my car, I will bring it back later."
Hao Ren nodded and gave her the keys. Han Lingshi went back in to bring her own keys, and handed them to Hao Ren.
The young man quickly left the Han Mansion with a smile on his face. His phone rang, and he accepted the call, "Hello, what is it Lingshi?"
However, a wizened voice greeted him, "Hmmm, she lets you call her Lingshi, seems like your relationship is not bad at all."
Hao Ren sat up straight in the seat and said, "Greetings, Old Madam."
Gao Yue snorted and said, "I know about your situation with Ling, you might want to correct your address."
Hao Ren was surprised and said, "Greetings, Grandma."
The old lady hummed and said, "Next time you should not come in the disguise of a chef. Okay?"
Hao Ren agreed to her while taking a turn, when suddenly his body received a massive impact and the car was sent flying for a few meters before it tipped over its ceiling and Hao Ren was overwhelmed by pain. Hao Ren turned to look at the side and saw an unfamiliar person gazing at him from the side. However, the person exclaimed, "Shit! It's not her. Run."
