Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1132 - 1134: Once Every Five Days

She could hardly believe her eyes; she thought she would never see him again in this lifetime.

So he was the chef her mother hired for her, but why was he using the surname Jiang? Did he change his name?

Was this whole table of dishes really cooked by him? When they parted, he couldn’t even cook.

Hadn’t he already reclaimed the Li Family? Why was he here working as a chef?

She had so many questions in her heart, but she dared not ask, and she could not ask.

Seeing this, Mrs. Guo asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Then she called the maid, "Quickly, get a new spoon for the young mistress."

Xiaotian realized she had lost her composure, quickly gathered her thoughts, and made sure not to let others notice anything strange. She forced a smile, "I’m fine, Mother, just a little accident."

"As long as you’re okay!"

Li Fugui stood there, his heart a mix of emotions.

He too was trying hard to control his emotions, not to let others see anything unusual, avoiding drawing attention.

If their relationship was discovered, Xiaotian would have a hard time here.

Before he could figure out a solution, maintaining the status quo was the best approach.

But no matter how hard he tried to conceal it, he was still somewhat excited, occasionally glancing at Xiaotian.

She had gained weight compared to before, well, her belly was so large now; she was eating for two, it was natural to gain weight.

Seeing Mrs. Guo’s demeanor, it was clear Xiaotian was well taken care of.

But was she truly doing well now?

At this point, the usually serious Master Guo spoke up, "Chef Jiang, to possess such culinary skills at a young age is truly admirable to this old man."

Li Fugui was pulled back to reality, "Master Guo, you flatter me."

"Young people need not be humble," Master Guo said, summoning a servant.

A little maid stepped forward, handing two ingots of silver to Li Fugui.

"This is your payment for today!"

"This..." Li Fugui was only filling in for the original chef Jiang and had no idea of the agreed price.

He was unsure whether to take the silver or not!

"Is Chef Jiang dissatisfied with the amount?" Seeing Li Fugui hesitate, Master Guo spoke again.

Li Fugui didn’t want to stir up trouble, so he accepted the silver, "Thank you, Master Guo!"

Despite her efforts, Xiaotian couldn’t control her emotions any longer.

She felt that if this continued, she would break down.

She had to escape from here, so she stood up and said, "Father, Mother, I’ve finished eating, I’ll go back to my room to rest, you take your time eating."

"Alright, you go get some rest," Mrs. Guo responded and then called for a maid to escort her out.

Xiaotian escaped the dining room assisted by the little maid.

Li Fugui felt particularly upset; she had left just as he had entered the room moments ago.

What was she thinking now? He had no idea.

After Xiaotian left, Mrs. Guo said, "Chef Jiang, my daughter-in-law really liked your cooking. How about this? Come to the Guo Mansion every five days and prepare us a dinner, the Guo Family will surely pay you well."

"Originally, we could go directly to your Yuelai Restaurant and bring the dishes back, but I feel it’s better to have them freshly made."

Hearing this, Li Fugui’s heart stirred.

Coming once every five days meant he would have opportunities to see Xiaotian here.

He wanted to come, even if it was just to see her from afar, and he wanted to create opportunities to talk to her, to ask her if she was doing well.

"Alright, Mrs. Guo, I’ll do my best."
