Chapter 498: Chapter 498: The White Lotus Gets Deflated (5)_1

Lao Fan swallowed his saliva with difficulty and clenched his stomach tightly to keep it from making any noise, "Shameful! It’s just missing one meal. No one’s going to die from that!"

His stomach, which had been under control, deflated immediately upon his words, gurgling loudly in protest, even louder than Xiao Linshuang’s.

Normally, Xiao Linshuang would have teased him, but right now, she was past caring about anything else. Her mind was filled with images of roasted chicken, baked duck, steamed fish, and stewed meat.

Determined, Xiao Linshuang sprung up from the ground, turned around, and was about to open the door.

Lao Fan got a shock and quickly grabbed her small hand, exclaiming in a panic, "You little wolf cub, what do you think you’re doing?!"

Xiao Linshuang struggled fiercely, trying to free her hand from his tight grip, but to no avail. She was significantly weaker than him, and having missed two meals, her strength had completely drained. She struggled for a long time without being able to pry open even a single finger.

If playing tough wouldn’t work, time to play soft.

Xiao Linshuang’s big eyes welled up with tears as she sobbed pitifully, "Wuu, Master, I want to eat. Big Sister and the others are eating right across from us, I want to go too. Wuu, Master, I can already smell the roasted chicken. I want to gnaw on a big drumstick, a big drumstick!"

Fearing that her cries would reach the room across, Lao Fan quickly covered her mouth with his hand, his eyes almost popping out in anxiety, "Oh my dear little ancestor, please don’t cry! If that Little Tyrant finds out we’re hiding here, he’ll come and chop us into pieces! Ah! You’re biting me again!"

Lao Fan waved the hand that Xiao Linshuang had painfully bitten, tears welling up in his eyes from the bite marks. He must have been out of his mind to have taken this little wolf cub as his apprentice; she tormented him every day!

Xiao Linshuang smacked her lips, her tears stopping, licked her lips, and blinked sheepishly, "I’m really sorry, Master, I, I smelled the scent of Osmanthus Cake on your hand. I really couldn’t help it, so I, I just..."

Wuu, Osmanthus Cake? If he’d known he would get bitten, he wouldn’t have been lazy and eaten the Osmanthus Cake without washing his hands. Lao Fan felt almost on the verge of a breakdown.

However, Xiao Linshuang still hadn’t given up on her determination to eat. If the door was blocked by Lao Fan, then she would try the window. When the window was blocked, she climbed onto the table, getting ready to claw at the rooftop.

Lao Fan was at his wits’ end with her jumping and hopping around. He was already terribly hungry, and after all this ruckus, he was completely exhausted. He sat down on the ground with a plop and wailed, "Wuu, what sins have I committed? If I had known this would be my fate today, I would never have revealed that little beast’s whereabouts!"

In the room across, Lin Yuan had the chefs prepare a full table of delicious dishes for Su Qiuyu to welcome and clean the dust off her travel. They were all Fuman Building’s signature dishes. Yet, it appeared that Su Qiuyu didn’t seem to like it much.

Lin Yuan shrugged her shoulders, noticing that Lao Fan and Xiao Linshuang hadn’t returned. She was a bit worried. She nudged Xia Zheng, who was busy picking out food for her, and whispered, "What about the little sister? Aren’t they back yet?"

Xia Zheng carefully picked out dishes for Lin Yuan, choosing the tastiest parts. He seized the drumstick from the roast chicken and tore off all the skin from the roast duck, placing them in Lin Yuan’s bowl. There were also Pearl balls; Lin Yuan loved the red bean paste inside. Xia Zheng patiently split the balls one by one, meticulously picked out the red bean paste with his chopsticks, and fed Lin Yuan little by little.

His considerate and earnest actions made Su Qiuyu across from them lose her appetite even more, turning what should have been an enjoyable meal into an infuriating experience.
