Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1152 - 1154: Guo Feng Is Here Too?

After speaking with the head chef, Li Fugui got busy in the kitchen.

Last time, he didn’t listen carefully to the gossip among the kitchen maids.

This time, he perked up his ears, wanting to know everything about the Guo Family.

Indeed, wherever there are people, there’s talk. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

A kitchen maid started speaking.

"Chef Jiang, I heard from maid Zi Lan that the young lady went to Yuelai Restaurant specifically to ask you to cook?"

"Yes." Li Fugui nodded.

"It seems the young lady really enjoys your cooking. Ever since she came back, she hardly goes out. Besides the last time she went to the countryside with the lady, this is the first time she’s gone out."

"Yes, Chef Jiang, you’re going to make it big."

"Yes, yes, maybe today the lady will reward you."

The more the kitchen maids talked, the more excited they got, as if they were the ones being rewarded with silver. Li Fugui didn’t care how much silver he would receive; his mind was recalling that ’first time going out’ phrase.

No wonder they couldn’t find any news for so long. Xiaotian had never left the Guo Mansion.

"Chef Jiang, you should cook well. The young master is here today too. If the young lady is pleased with the food, you might just rise to prominence."

Hearing this, Li Fugui’s heart skipped a beat. Guo Feng is here too?

Given Guo Feng’s attitude towards Xiaotian, he would probably stay with Xiaotian, and today it seems unlikely he will have a chance to speak with Xiaotian alone.

His hands by his side clenched into fists, feeling unwilling, having missed one opportunity after another.

Moments later, Zi Lan came into the kitchen and found Li Fugui.

"Chef Jiang, I’m here to remind you to cook well today. Last time at Yuelai Restaurant, our young lady said your food wasn’t as good as when made at the Guo Mansion."

"..." Li Fugui was a bit surprised that Xiaotian noticed, "Please tell the young lady that I’ll pay attention."

Zi Lan nodded and left. It wasn’t Xiaotian who asked her to come; she just remembered what the young lady said last time and came to remind him.

...

In the bedroom

Xiaotian was somewhat restless today because she knew this was the day Li Fugui would come to cook.

She was anxious, wondering if he would come again. She thought, since he avoided seeing her last time, he probably wouldn’t come this time.

Just as she was thinking, the door opened, "My dear, I heard Chef Jiang is here, cooking in the kitchen. Should we go and have a look?"

Hearing Guo Feng’s words, Xiaotian’s body involuntarily trembled. He really came after all; why did he come again?

She said coldly, "No need. Once he’s done cooking, we’ll just eat. There’s no need for us to meet a cook, right?"

These words made Guo Feng feel a bit strange. Xiaotian never spoke like this and never looked down on anyone. Today, she actually referred to him as a cook?

Though puzzled inside, Guo Feng didn’t show it and said, "Alright, then we won’t go. We’ll just wait to eat, and I’ll also try what this Chef Jiang has cooked."

Yuelai Restaurant is a place Guo Feng frequents for meals; their dishes are indeed quite good, and they’ve recently been offering new dishes.

But he had never studied which chef was making the dishes.

Not studying them is normal, as only fellow chefs would research that. A dining guest doesn’t really need to.

"Yes." Xiaotian tugged the corner of her mouth into a slight smile, breathing a sigh of relief internally, as she didn’t want to witness them meeting.
