Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1153 - 1155: Seeking Opportunities
Li Fugui was in the kitchen preparing dishes, and soon, one after another, the dishes were sent out.
He thought the kitchen maids made a lot of sense and perhaps he might be summoned to the dining hall.
But he waited and waited, and it didn’t happen.
He gave a bitter smile, feeling somewhat naive. He was just a cook, not important enough to be summoned repeatedly. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Due to not seeing Xiaotian, Li Fugui’s mood was somewhat low.
A moment later, the Little Maid came in, "Chef Jiang, this is your pay for today."
The Little Maid’s words shattered Li Fugui’s last bit of hope. They had already finished their meal, and Xiaotian probably had gone back to her room. He wouldn’t have the chance to see her today. He reached out, took the silver, and thanked her, "Thank you."
After the Little Maid left, he let out a long sigh. For now, he could only resort to the last tactic he had thought of beforehand.
He began preparing pastries in the kitchen, and soon they were ready. Taking advantage of nobody paying attention, he tampered with the pastries and placed the pre-prepared note inside.
Once everything was ready, he still wasn’t resigned and wanted to head outside to search for an opportunity.
He said to the kitchen maid, "This pastry is just a bit incomplete; be sure not to touch it. If it’s ruined, there will be nothing for the young lady tonight."
"Alright, Chef Jiang, don’t worry." The kitchen maids agreed; they understood the rules, especially regarding the young lady’s food.
Li Fugui nodded and was about to head out.
The head chef saw him leaving and asked, "Chef Jiang, where are you going?"
Only then did Li Fugui realize he should ask for directions; otherwise, it would seem fake to head out directly, "Ah, I’m going to the restroom. By the way, Auntie, could you point the way for me?"
The two of them walked out of the kitchen’s entrance, and the head chef showed Li Fugui the way.
After all, Li Fugui was a man, and even though the head chef was an elderly woman, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to lead someone to the restroom.
Li Fugui nodded in agreement, indicating he understood, and only then did the head chef return to the kitchen.
Seeing the head chef go inside, Li Fugui headed towards the courtyard instead, completely ignoring the direction the head chef had pointed.
Such residences were ones he frequently visited in the past.
He generally knew where the master lived, and where the servants lived.
He headed to places where Xiaotian might frequent, hoping to try his luck.
Luck sometimes comes unexpectedly.
He hadn’t walked far when he vaguely saw someone sitting on a stone bench not far away.
She was sitting there quietly, continuously stroking her belly, as if communicating with the child inside.
Her side profile was still as enchanting as before.
No doubt, it was Xiaotian.
At this moment, Li Fugui was overwhelmed with excitement. He hadn’t expected Xiaotian to be sitting alone in the courtyard. He felt this was a chance given by heaven to meet Xiaotian alone.
His heart was pounding, considering that they hadn’t seen each other for over half a year.
At this moment, in his eyes, there was only Xiaotian. Completely disregarding the surroundings, as he walked towards Xiaotian, another person approached her from a different direction.
He was holding a fruit plate and a fan, smiling, "Dear, have I kept you waiting?"
This scene made Li Fugui stop in his tracks, his heart aching, because the term ’dear’ made it undoubtedly clear that this person was Xiaotian’s current husband, Guo Feng.
