As Yun Bilu tasted Huang Yize's dishes, she felt that although it was light, it was tasty.
"Huang Yize, my brother-in-law's culinary skills are good. Compared to him, you still have room for improvement."
Huang Yize's mouth twitched. He was the Young Master of the Black Dragon Gang, trained in many fields but never in culinary.
The skills he had now were practiced specially for this girl.
"If you're going to nitpick on my cooking, I'm not going to cook for you anymore."
"Oh, don't. I'm in the wrong. It's my fault. I will learn how to cook in the future so that I can cook for you."
"No need."
"Aiya, Huang Yize. Won't you eat the dishes that I prepared with all my heart?"
Huang Yize felt helpless. This girl always misunderstood his intentions. "What I'm trying to say is that, you don't have to work so hard to specially learn how to cook."
He understood Yun Bilu. Once she made up her mind about something, she would do her best, just like how she learned martial arts. His heart had already ached for her this once, and he couldn't bear for her to suffer again.
But of course, the prideful demiG.o.d named Huang Yize would never say out these words that were within his heart.
After the meal, Huang Yize wanted Yun Bilu to rest, but she found staying at home boring instead, so he found a sightseeing car and brought her around to tour the city.
Yun Bilu couldn't help but feel sentimental. Huang Yize was so attentive and treated her so well. "Huang Yize, I will be more than loyal to you."
"This is what a subordinate would say to his superior."
Yun Bilu shuddered. It wasn't easy for her to say her faithfulness, and yet she got struck by a blow instead. "Then, my love for you is like the neverending water that flows through the river."
Huang Yize's expression softened, but he hardened his voice. "I got it."
Yun Bilu pouted. Actually, she wanted to hear him confess as well. As if thinking of something, she asked, "Oh yeah. Since I was first, will I get a chance to meet the prime minister and the queen?" She still remembered about it.
"You fainted, so I cancelled it for you."
"Ah, how could you cancel it? How could you…" Yun Bilu tugged at Huang Yize's clothes and shook him unhappily.
"If you continue shaking me, you will get dizzy."
Yun Bilu pouted unhappily, ignoring Huang Yize.
Looking at her, Huang Yize could only lower his head and whisper his explanation, "The secret news is that the queen was shot yesterday night, so even if I didn't cancel it, you wouldn't be able to see her since she was injured. If you could see her, you would be in danger as well."
Yun Bilu shuddered and stared in disbelief. "Why did the queen get shot?"
Was Country M this unsafe?
Huang Yize tapped her on her head. "Keep it to yourself. If you met the prime minister, pretend to not know about it. I didn't want to tell you about this at first."
"Why won't you tell me?"
"Because you show everything you think on your face. It's easy to tell."
Fine, Yun Bilu admitted that. Huang Yize's understanding was accurate.
…
In a building on the palace grounds of Country M
On the bed, sat a woman who had hair covering half her face, making it hard to decipher who she was.
Shui Qianqian looked at her bandaged chest with an indifferent expression.
The servant said respectfully, "Your Highness, it's time for your meal."
"I have no appet.i.te. You can leave!" Shui Qianqian's gaze was solemn without a single trace of hesitation.
The servant wavered before she continued, "Your Highness, you didn't eat your breakfast and lunch. The prime minister is worried."
