Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots
Chapter 254 - 254 254 Farewell Kiss (1)_1

Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Farewell Kiss (1)_1 Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Farewell Kiss (1)_1 Lin Yuan silently nodded without speaking.

To tell the truth, when she heard Xia Zheng mention he was leaving, she actually felt a bit reluctant to let him go.

Strange, she used to particularly despise this clingy fellow, always wishing him to be far away from her.

So why does she feel reluctant now?

Lin Yuan sat inside the carriage, while Xia Zheng sat on the shaft outside.

Although he couldn’t see Lin Yuan’s expression, his keen senses still picked up the fluctuations in her mood.

It would be false to say he wasn’t unhappy, but what he felt more was reluctance.

The relationship between the two of them had finally made some progress, now he was leaving suddenly, would things go back to being as cold as before?

Oh, how he really didn’t want to go!

“Don’t worry, once I’m done with the business over there, I will come back as soon as possible.

I won’t make you wait long,”

Reassured by Xia Zheng’s promise, Lin Yuan felt a wave of relief, but still retorted sullenly, “Who’s looking forward to your return?

It would be best if you never came back!

Then I wouldn’t have to see your annoying face every day and be oppressed by you to cook!”

Xia Zheng chuckled, feeling greatly amused, and flicked the whip in his hand.

He pulled back the carriage curtain and turned to see Lin Yuan’s unabashed smile, teasingly saying, “Then I must hurry back.

A certain person still owes me one hundred taels of silver for meals!”

The curtain was suddenly lifted, and her laugh had been seen by that annoying person.

Lin Yuan, feeling both irritated and embarrassed, reached out to put the curtain down, only to have it unexpectedly lifted again.

After a few rounds of this, Lin Yuan finally admitted defeat.

Not because she couldn’t stand up to Xia Zheng, but because she really felt such a pointless game was beneath her intelligence.

Yet, the other person found it delightful, looking at her triumphantly, which eventually made her laugh out loud.

Returning to the matter at hand, Lin Yuan suddenly sobered up and asked, “I heard you say you’re going to help with disaster relief.

Is it because of the heavy rain?

But isn’t disaster relief something the Imperial Court should handle?

Why would…”

She stopped without finishing her sentence, but Lin Yuan knew he understood what she implied.

Her inquiry was nothing more than a probe to see if Xia Zheng was truly a Prince.

If so, it might be better to maintain their current relationship status.

She didn’t wish to marry and then have to contend daily with a household full of Concubines and little concubines – not that she couldn’t handle them, but it would be too tiring.

With that spare time, she’d rather open a shop and earn some money.

Clearly perceiving Lin Yuan’s worries, Xia Zheng beckoned her with a crooked finger, drawing her closer, and raised an eyebrow as he said, “What’s on your mind?

Are you thinking about how many serving maids and little concubines I have in my household?”

Lin Yuan gave him a look of disdain, not expecting that he would see right through her.

Could he really be the worm in her stomach?

“Haha,” Xia Zheng laughed heartily and then flicked her forehead.

“Rest assured, little girl, I’ve never been with a woman in my life.

Er, that’s not right, except for my mother.

And you know, my father also only had my mother as his woman.

So it’s even less likely for me to have any other women.”

Lin Yuan rubbed her forehead, complaining about the pain, yet her heart blossomed with sweetness.

This guy really didn’t disappoint her.

He also mentioned his father had only his mother, which indirectly indicated he wasn’t a Prince, and she wouldn’t have to worry about various women bothering her in the future, right?

Though she was pleased, Lin Yuan still couldn’t resist scoffing cynically, “Is it that you’ve never been with a woman, or is it that there simply isn’t a woman willing to allow you?

Hmph, with your appearance and that smell of copper all over you, it’s no wonder the young ladies in the Capital city don’t fancy you!”
