CH 31

Ling Changfeng: “…”

The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

The servants’ eyes widened when they heard Xu Xinghe’s bold suggestion. While shocked, they couldn’t help but admire his bizarre and outrageous idea.

Ling Changfeng kept a straight face and did not speak.

But that expression was clearly asking “why don’t I have a share”.

Xu Xinghe felt the low air pressure vaguely surrounding him, and shrank back with some guilt.

But after thinking about it – he didn’t promise to prepare dinner for Ling Changfeng! What’s the point of feeling guilty?

So he straightened my chest and planned to fight.

“You didn’t say you planned to come back for dinner. And even if you did, I didn’t promise to cook for you!” Xu Xinghe said confidently.

Hearing these words, Ling Changfeng looked at him, and looked at the servants behind him.

Ice-spring-like cold gazes swept across the servants in turn, making several people shudder.

In the end, his eyes fell back to Xu Xinghe.

Xu Xinghe pondered for a while, feeling as if he understood his emotions: “Are you trying to ask why they all had a portion but you don’t?”

The servants behind him: “???”

Ling Changfeng: “…”

He denied this statement: “No.”

It’s true that Marshal Ling felt this way, but it’s absolutely impossible for him to admit it.

The servants came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and all felt like their lives were in danger.

Don’t dare next time! Let us go!

Ling Changfeng looked at Xu Xinghe and said blankly, “I was thinking, although you use my kitchen, my ingredients, and my people, you didn’t leave me a share.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Damn! Isn’t it just some dried scallops, scallops, mussels, abalone, squid, and salmon!

As an alpha, how can you be so pretentious??

But after all, he can’t say he didn’t eat it. Xu Xinghe finally decided to take two steps back to ease the situation. “You didn’t say when you’re coming back. This kind of seafood will not taste good when it’s cold, so I shared it with everyone first. …besides, you’ve never been interested in food?”

Unfortunately, Ling Changfeng refused to step down. Raising his eyebrows slightly, he slowly asked: “When did I ever say I’m not interested in eating?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Are you starting to speak nonsense with your eyes open?

In order to eat one bite, you don’t even need face??1rhetorical questions he wants to ask LCF’s who’s speaking inexplicable words

Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t you take nutritional supplements three times a day?”

Ling Changfeng said lightly, “That was the past.”

Xu Xinghe sneered: “Then when did you start changing your taste?”

Ling Changfeng: “Today.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He felt that even if he entangled with Ling Changfeng longer, there still wouldn’t be any result.

But then again, why did Marshal Ling suddenly hold a grudge just for a bite?

Xu Xinghe thought about it, and attributed it to an alpha’s self-esteem.

After all, his subordinates ate some, but he didn’t. Isn’t this shameful?

So Chef Xu showed his kindness and decided to protect Marshal Ling’s face in a small way.

He patted his chest generously: “Then next time I cook, I’ll save a portion for you.”

After a pause, he added: “What about tomorrow, will you be at home tomorrow night?”

“…” Ling Changfeng, who was silent for two seconds, replied, “I have something tomorrow night, and can’t come back.”

Xu Xinghe could only spread his hands in resignation. “Okay, then I’ll make some for you tomorrow and leave it in the refrigerator.”

His tone was relaxed, and didn’t care much.

Ling Changfeng was very concerned.

He is not obsessed with mountain delicacies2as in rare or good food, or even Xu Xinghe’s cooking skills.

He just wanted to have dinner with his little spouse.

From this point of view, cold food stored in the refrigerator is actually no different from his usual nutritional supplements.

For the first time in history, Marshal Ling began to wonder if his schedule was too full.

Even for a moment, he subtly realized a dilemma that one cannot balance family and career.

But he didn’t feel distressed facing this dilemma, but felt some joy in this pain – 

He’s now a married person.

“Next time. I’ll be at home next time.”

After Ling Changfeng finished speaking, he turned around and planned to go back upstairs to change his clothes.

Just after walking two steps, he suddenly stopped at his feet, turned around to face Xu Xinghe, and asked, “Are you tired from making so much food?”

Tired! That is quite tiring!

Although Chef Xu instructed others to complete the preparatory work, he cooked the two large pots of seafood himself. It took a lot of effort to cook so many ingredients. He even suspected that his arms would be sore when he woke up tomorrow.

Xu Xinghe described in detail the efforts he made to cook. Marshal Ling nodded after listening, and then said to him earnestly: “Since you’re so tired, don’t make so much next time. Just make two person’s worth, okay?”

Xu Xinghe: “?”

That night, Xu Xinghe took a comfortable bath in the jacuzzi and enjoyed the automatic massage. When he came out of the bathroom, thinking that he had finally ended the busy day and could have a good rest, the bedroom doorbell rang.

As soon as Xu Xinghe saw the surveillance camera, his whole body felt bad.

Why is Ling Changfeng here?!

Ever since the fact that Ling Changfeng could evade the mastermind’s monitoring and they don’t have to share a bed was exposed, they hadn’t shared a bed for a while.

—Except for the extreme case of being drunk last night.

Therefore, he hadn’t seen Ling Changfeng outside his room for a long time.

Xu Xinghe: “…” I don’t really want to open the door.

He stepped forward and asked into the monitoring microphone. “It’s so late, what’s the matter?”

The person outside the door paused and said lightly, “You open the door first, and I’ll tell you when I go in.”

Xu Xinghe suddenly became more alert. “What’s the matter? I’ve changed clothes and am about to rest. Why don’t you talk here?”

Ling Changfeng took a step back unhurriedly, looked at the camera, and said, “Are you sure you want me to say it here?”

Even through the screen, Xu Xinghe felt a little numb at the mismatched gaze: “Just say it here!”

“After you got drunk last night, hugged my arm saying you want to sleep with me every night from now on…” Before he could finish the words, the door was manually pulled open, and a supple, white arm stretched out, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him inside.

Actually, Xu Xinghe couldn’t pull him with his strength, but Marshal Ling didn’t resist at all and let Xu Xinghe pull him inside.

Inside the house, Xu Xinghe’s face was a little red. He didn’t know whether it was because he had just taken a shower or something else.

“How can you say something like this at the door!”

He exploded the thorns all over his body like a surly little hedgehog.

– Full of pink thorns.

Marshal Ling’s eyes swirled around Xu Xinghe inadvertently.

His little spouse is tall and thin, seeming quite unassuming. At this moment, the thin arms and wrists were exposed from the loose bathrobe, swaying, and the originally fair skin was steamed into a faint peach pink.

Ling Changfeng admired it for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes lightly: “Didn’t you ask me to speak at the door?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

“What I said last night, no matter what it is, doesn’t count! Don’t mention it again in the future!” Xu Xinghe said angrily.

Ling Changfeng looked at his blushing face, and his nose suddenly moved slightly.

It was as if I saw a fragrant flower trembling on the branches.

He took time to ask: “Why?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Why are you asking?! Of course it’s because it’s too damn embarrassing!

“Anyway, this matter is finished!”

Ling Changfeng stood still in the center of the house, looking both strict and calm.

A pair of mismatched pupils looked at him. A faint smile seemed to flash in those eyes, but the tone was still calm: “Just because you say it’s over, it’s over?”

Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth and said, “What else do you want?”

Ling Changfeng thought for a moment, then suddenly took two steps forward and said to Xu Xinghe in a low voice: “Where’s my hush money?”

The continuation of XXH’s drunken actions. I almost feel secondhand embarrassment for the poor guy.
