Chapter 508: Chapter 507: Observation (1)
But if he did that, what difference would there be between him and Qin Baizhou? Perhaps he would even be worse than Qin Baizhou, wouldn’t he?
Qin Baizhou wanted to control her life, believing that he knew what was best for her, but such actions actually limited her development and hindered her transformation.
Watching the chef’s skills, Su Wenyue found herself somewhat dissatisfied. It wasn’t that she was being fussy, but as someone with superior culinary talents, she always strived for the ultimate expression of the ingredients’ flavors, hence she started to offer guidance, instructing the chef to follow her directions.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Sikong Ling saw Su Wenyue standing there, incessantly offering suggestions to the head chef. Sometimes, when directions weren’t enough, she’d take it upon herself to demonstrate. Her earnestness was more captivating than at any other time, and the kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma.
“Smells so good! What is this that smells so delicious?” he exclaimed.
“It’s you, how did you come here, like a ghost that never goes away!” Su Wenyue pouted, saying unhappily. She had barely had the chance to start enjoying her delicious creations when Sikong Ling appeared, thoroughly dampening her spirits. What’s more, Han Yu had made it clear that he did not like her having too much contact with Sikong Ling. As a dutiful wife and mother, and a good daughter-in-law to Han Yu, she naturally complied with her Husband’s wishes.
“It truly saddens me to hear Lady Yue speak like this. I believe I have treated Lady Yue quite well, and I haven’t overstepped my boundaries. Why are you so cold towards me, always with a harsh demeanor? Although I have transgressed in the past, perhaps my later deeds could redeem my faults?” he lamented with a touch of bitterness.
Seeing Sikong Ling like this, Su Wenyue pondered over her recent behavior and indeed felt that she had been somewhat excessive. After all, she owed her life to Sikong Ling, so some things ought to be clarified. She said earnestly, “Young Master Sikong, I am aware that you saved me, and I am grateful for it. I’ll thank you formally now, and should there be anything I can help with in the future, Han Yu won’t refuse. However, things should be kept separate. Although you saved me, I still hope we can maintain a distance. After all, men and women should not get too close, and my Husband minds if other men come too near to me. So, it’s better if we interact less. I don’t want to cause misunderstandings with my Husband.”
“You really do care about Han Yu, taking everything he says so to heart,” Sikong Ling noted with a sour tone, laced with a hint of grievance.
Feeling somewhat overwhelmed, Su Wenyue added, “It’s not just about my Husband. Haven’t I mentioned before that interpersonal relationships are a matter of destiny? Perhaps we were enemies in a previous life, for no matter how I look at you, I find you displeasing. Hmm, I’m being too blunt, and if I have offended you in any way, I hope Young Master Sikong can forgive me for that.”
