Chapter 1499: Chapter 770: Baili City Ranked Second
...
Xinyue walked into the room, carrying a large dish and swirling with a delicious smile. Qing Shui knew these were the two black fish he had brought earlier.
"Little madam, Uncle Hong could no longer control himself, and he already ate one of the fish. If not for remembering his orders, I’m afraid both fish would be gone."
After Xinyue put down the dish, Yuhe invited her to join them in trying the fish. After all, if Uncle Hong’s cooking skills were considered second best in all of "Baili City", then no one would dare claim they were first.
"It’s alright. When Uncle Hong ate the first fish, he gave me some too. The taste really exceeded my expectations, we’ve never tasted something so delicious before." Xinyue replied joyfully, then ran out.
"That cheeky little one!" Yuhe laughed.
The atmosphere was a bit... strange. A man and a girl, alone in a room, with the man simply gazing at her silently. This made Yuhe a little crazy because she felt that Qing Shui’s gaze on her was similar to someone watching their beloved girl. There were traces of fondness, admiration, and pride...
"What am I thinking, he’s just a kid. After all, I’m ten years older than him, why do I still fantasize? In a few years when I grow old and wrinkled, I bet he won’t even want to give me a second look." Yuhe silently berated herself.
Yuhe’s cheeks felt hot and she hurriedly said, "Come, let’s try Uncle Hong’s cooking skills!" Yuhe picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and gracefully placed it in her mouth. Such a graceful act was truly delightful to watch. Qing Shui gazed at Yuhe, not inclined to eat. Just watching her eat brought him a sense of satisfaction, full of enjoyment.
"It’s so delicious! Since when did Uncle Hong’s cooking skills become so excellent? Even the famous chefs of this world couldn’t produce such a taste!"
Suddenly, Yuhe finally noticed that Qing Shui hadn’t eaten anything but was still foolishly staring at her. She knew Qing Shui came here with other motives, but she couldn’t figure out his true needs.
After thinking deeply, Yuhe no longer wasted time and started digging in again. When Qing Shui saw that Yuhe had already finished a third of the fish, he was quite frustrated. How could he miss the opportunity to dine with such a beautiful girl?
With his own senses guiding him, Qing Shui started devouring like a wolf. Meanwhile, Yuhe continued to dine elegantly. Qing Shui made a mess beside the table, further highlighting the contrast between the two eating styles.
"Delicious!" Qing Shui rubbed his stomach.
Yuhe glanced at Qing Shui with an expression somewhere between amusement and suspicion. "You can continue to tell me your real reason for being here today. Although I admit this fish is one of the best I’ve ever eaten, I don’t think it’s the sole reason for your visit today."
"Hey, I just wanted to have dinner with you. Without a beautiful princely heir by my side, no matter how heavenly the dish tastes, it still feels like ash to me."
"Silly child, every time you open your mouth, it’s all about the beautiful princely heir." "Do you know what a beautiful girl does?" Yuhe couldn’t help but tease Qing Shui.
"There are beautiful girls to cherish!" "There are beautiful girls to cherish!"
Yuhe looked at Qing Shui curiously, and she was stunned. She only saw Qing Shui’s clear eyes looking back at her. Staring into them, there was accommodation and gentle protection. How could this young man have such a gaze already? Besides, from his eyes, she could also see wisdom and foresight, along with purpose, but all these traits were adorned with layers of tenderness. Very appealing!
"Oh, so do you know how to cherish a girl?" Yuhe said with a smile, feeling very happy at the moment but unsure why. She just knew she felt peace and a sense of security inside.
"I would do things for her, shoulder her burdens, protect her, and make her happy." Yuhe suddenly realized, though Qing Shui was unaware. Without much time to think, he hastily blurted a bunch of nonsensical things.
Yuhe couldn’t help but laugh at her own powerless response. At this moment, she felt that Qing Shui had a truly pure heart. She felt he would make a good husband for his future wife.
"If sister wanted you to love me, would you be willing?" Yuhe continued to tease Qing Shui, but there was a hint of seriousness hidden inside.
"Sister Yu He should be one of the rare charming talents in our country. I think the number of suitors you have would make up half of the population. Qing Shui looked seriously at Yuhe, at this moment thinking deep inside – if Yuhe was serious, Qing Shui wouldn’t care at all. After all, Yuhe was precisely his type, a mature princely heir 10 years older than him, delicious.
"Hey, sister is just teasing you. Sigh... who would still want someone like me, who would cherish me?" Yuhe glanced at Qing Shui, feeling as if something was stirring inside, and he painfully smiled.
Qing Shui didn’t respond, knowing that Yuhe came from the Yu Clan, with a high status. To say Yuhe really fell in love with him? Only if Qing Shui’s brain was damaged would he believe it. Maybe in her eyes, he was just a kid, someone to tease and laugh with. What she really needed was a strong man who could protect her.
