Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1475 - 294, Meeting (11)

But when Lin Yuan mentioned how Lao Fan helped her out of a difficult situation, Xia Zheng’s expression seemed a bit unusual.

"Yan Ruchun came to see you today, she must have found the person behind the scenes, right?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "I guess so."

It wasn’t something very important, but since it involved framing Dong Tian, it was better for Lin Yuan to handle it herself.

However, Xia Zheng clearly didn’t feel at ease. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her sideways: "You just said Yan Ruchun asked Wei Family’s Young Master for help? Second Fool is good at studying, but investigating? Hmph. Could it be Wei Boyu was there as well? No way, you wait for me, I’m coming too."

Lin Yuan was momentarily stunned and quickly grabbed Xia Zheng who was turning around to change clothes, eagerly saying: "You just got back yesterday, why don’t you rest well in the room? It’s not a big deal, I can handle it myself."

Xia Zheng wrinkled his nose and snorted: "I’m not worried whether Yan Xiangkai is being falsely accused, I’m worried about my woman!"

After speaking, Xia Zheng opened the door and yelled outside for someone to prepare bathwater and clean clothes.

Worried that Lin Yuan might not keep her promise, Xia Zheng casually ordered two maids to watch her, leaving Lin Yuan both amused and exasperated.

Thinking of Xia Zheng rushing day and night to come back earlier, Lin Yuan decided not to argue with him and sent a boy to the teahouse across the street to inform Yan Ruchun, then waited for Xia Zheng to finish bathing and dressing.

Who knew whether this guy hadn’t bathed for too many days or was deliberately delaying, it took him almost two hours to come out of the room, causing Lin Yuan a lot of complaints.

Xia Zheng, completely unaware, leaned on the doorframe giving her a flirtatious look, and proudly swayed his still slightly damp hair, saying: "How about it, after getting ready like this, do I look like the suave and peerlessly handsome young man from before?"

Lin Yuan rolled her eyes and deliberately exaggerated her disgust: "Indeed, peerless in... particular ways."

The phrase "peerless beauty," Lin Yuan deliberately stretched the tone a bit, causing not only Xia Zheng but also the maids nearby to perceive the teasing in her voice.

Not annoyed by Lin Yuan’s jest, Xia Zheng chuckled, stepped forward swiftly to her, and with a gesture often used by street ruffians teasing proper young ladies, hooked her chin with his slender finger and said: "I indeed have a strong desire, but only for you, no one else catches my eyes."

Hearing such a fervent confession, the giggling maids all promptly turned their heads and hurriedly walked away.

Lin Yuan hummed and rolled her eyes: "You say that too soon, there’s no one here to make you jealous, save those words for when we get to the teahouse!"

Xia Zheng blinked, immediately letting go of Lin Yuan’s chin and muttered to himself: "Right, I need to think of some sweet nothings to say, to make that Wei Boyu back off!"

Lin Yuan speechlessly facepalmed, when did Wei Boyu ever show any interest in her?

The place Yan Ruchun arranged to meet Lin Yuan was in the teahouse right across from Dong Tian, supposedly very close, but everyone had been waiting for two hours and still hadn’t seen Lin Yuan, only a boy hastily came to say their boss was delayed.

A little delay was fine, but this delay was getting too much.

Yan Ruchun glanced at Xu Muqing and Wei Borong sitting across from her, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

These two, even though they see each other every day, still act like they haven’t met for a year. It’s been over two hours, and they’re either whispering secrets or feeding each other snacks and fruits. Seriously, they don’t even consider other people’s feelings!

Lin Yuan sighed softly in her heart and turned her eyes away, but when she saw the man sitting there, her face started twitching.

Because seated there was her nemesis, Boyu Wei!

"Yo! Miss Yan, why are you staring at me like that? Could it be because I helped you find out who was behind the scenes that you admire my charm?"

Boyu Wei raised his eyebrows, his face full of smugness.

Lin Yuan got annoyed; she just glanced over casually, how has it turned into admiring this guy’s charm?

"You’re dreaming..."

Before she could finish saying ’dream,’ Boyu Wei interrupted her: "You’re dreaming! Don’t admire me, I am uniquely handsome and extraordinarily intelligent, there are plenty of people who like this young master. You? Tsk tsk, you should just stand aside, even placed in a crowd you wouldn’t stand out."

Lin Yuan’s lips trembled with anger. This Boyu Wei truly had a beastly heart under a human face, looking decent but rotten to the core!

"Right, you’re extraordinarily intelligent; look, your intelligence has even receded your hairline. That hair must be fake now, right? I’ve heard some people who lose hair choose to stick black dog fur on their heads, wearing it outdoors. Hey, Eldest Young Master Wei, you wouldn’t be wearing a head full of dog fur by any chance, would you?"

Lin Yuan’s dog fur theory finally shut Boyu Wei up, and seeing his face nearly turning green with anger, Lin Yuan was thrilled and even hummed a little tune.

Across the table, Xu Muqing and Wei Borong silently shrank away, moving their seats further while holding their dishes.

After spending two hours in the room, they had nearly moved from the table to the corner. Well, there was nothing they could do; both Xu Muqing and Boyu Wei’s mouths were foul, they really worried these two would contaminate their food.

Just as they settled down with their snacks, suddenly, a man’s mocking voice was heard at the door, and it was filled with not hard-to-detect derision. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Miss Yan, you’re wrong. Eldest Young Master Wei’s hair is so long, how could it be dog fur? In my opinion, it should be tail hair from a horse."

Hearing this, Boyu Wei’s face stiffened.

Lin Yuan grew interested, smiling sideward at Boyu Wei, waiting for the man to enter.

"No no no, the hair on a horse’s tail is very coarse; Eldest Young Master Wei’s hair looks so flowing, it definitely can’t be from a horse’s tail."

That man suddenly changed his statement, his voice growing louder as he obviously was about to enter.

But Xu Muqing couldn’t wait, instinctively asking: "Not horse, then what?",

But right after asking, she regretted it. Regardless of what fur it was, it was meant to mock Boyu Wei and she foolishly followed along.

Awkwardly glancing at Boyu Wei, Xu Muqing ducked her head behind Wei Borong’s arm.
