Chapter 775: In The Tomb 7

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Yanyu hoped that Lian Qian could take the first step and be with Chef w.a.n.g.

After all, half of her life had pa.s.sed. If she could only live to 50 or 60 years old, then more than half of her life was already gone. There was no need to make her life more miserable.

The pain she suffered in the first half of her life was enough. She should be happy for the rest of her life.

However, Lian Qians life remained unchanged. If not for the fact that he knew that she had dreamed of becoming Chef w.a.n.gs wife many times, Su Yanyu would have thought that she did not like him at all.

Lian Qian hid all her feelings in her heart. She did not intend to say it out loud at all. She just wanted to live like this for the rest of her life.

Su Yanyu was annoyed. He only hoped that it would end quickly. This illusion was too torturous.

Just as Su Yanyu thought that nothing would change in Lian Qians life, something unexpected happened.

This year, Lian Qian was already 45 years old. She was calm and experienced, and she had been very close to Chef w.a.n.g, but neither of them expressed their feelings.

The man and his concubine were still around. After begging Lian Qian to no avail, they had never gone to see her again.

This morning, Lian Qian drank the sweet soup as usual. As soon as it entered her mouth, she frowned and spat it out. Wheres Chef w.a.n.g?

As soon as the soup entered her mouth, she knew that it was not made by Chef w.a.n.g.

Seeing that Lian Qian was angry, the maidservant said in fear, Chef w.a.n.g said that hes not in good health and cant cook today.

Lian Qian frowned. All these years, even if Chef w.a.n.g was sick, he would still cook.

Lian Qian was distracted. She did not eat in the morning and did not even want to look at the food that was sent over for lunch. The exquisite food made her not feel like eating at all.

In the afternoon, she didnt even notice that she was holding the account book upside down. The ink dripped on the paper and dyed it black.

At night, Lian Qian lay on the bed, unable to sleep.

It was already late at night. She went out to the backyard. Chef w.a.n.g lived in the small house in the farthest corner of the main courtyard. Lian Qian stood outside the house and finally raised her hand to knock on the door.

From inside, there was the sound of something colliding. Just as Lian Qian was about to run away, the door opened.

Chef w.a.n.g said calmly, Madam, since youre here, come in and have a seat.

Lian Qian walked in and Chef w.a.n.g closed the door. The table was filled with cold dishes, wine jars, and wine gla.s.ses, just like when they ate together in the past.

Lian Qian was a little fl.u.s.tered. She wanted to leave, but Chef w.a.n.g had already pushed the wine gla.s.s in front of her.

Chef w.a.n.g also picked up his gla.s.s and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Lian Qian and said slowly, Madam Lian, do you know when we met?

Lian Qian suppressed the panic in her heart. 1 liked the bowl of sweet soup you made that year very much and especially invited you over to see me.

Chef w.a.n.g shook his head. No, I was lucky enough to see you before you got married.

Lian Qian felt a little uneasy. Youre drunk. Youre talking nonsense.

Chef w.a.n.g smiled faintly. That year, you were still a young girl, and I was just an illegitimate son of the w.a.n.g family. I liked to cook. When I saw you, 1 was amazed by you. However, I knew that we couldnt get together. Half of my life has pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. I know that you have suffered for half of your life. All the dishes Ive learned are for you. Weve been together for more than ten years. Madam, dont you have any feelings for me at all?

Chef w.a.n.g looked at Lian Qian and told her the secret in his heart. He wanted to take the step. His eyes were very bright as he looked at Lian Qian.

Lian Qian avoided his gaze. Never.

Chef w.a.n.g only smiled faintly. If not, why do you look away?

Lian Qian clearly did not dare to look him in the eyes.

Su Yanyu could feel Lian Qian. She was fluttered and couldnt muster up the courage to admit it.

Chef w.a.n.g said calmly, How much time do you have left in this life? Ive loved you for many years and have improper thoughts. I know that you are still a virgin. 1 hate him for treating you like this. I originally wanted to accompany you just like that, but Im too greedy. 1 want to be your husband. The wine I drink has an arousing effect. It will take effect in ten minutes. This is the only evil thing Ive done in my life. Madam, are you willing?

Lian Qian glared at Chef w.a.n.g angrily. Youre crazy, youre crazy. Ill get a doctor!

Lian Qians mind was in a mess. However, when she stood up, Chef w.a.n.g said calmly, Its too late. This drug is very strong. If you dont want to do it with me, Ill die. 1 know that you have feelings for me, so 1 used this method to force you to face your feelings. Were already halfway through our lives. How much time can we spend together? 1 want to be with you. If you dont want it, Im willing to die.

I taught an apprentice. Her culinary skills are no different from mine. After 1 die, she will serve you for me.

Chef w.a.n.g had even arranged the things after his death.

Lian Qians heart ached. She had not lost control like this for many years. She looked at Chef w.a.n.g in confusion and tears fell from her eyes. Were not fated. Its a pity that it wasnt you in the first place

She was in pain and broke down. It was just like when she got married back then. She waited happily, but in the end, her heart was broken.

If only she had been Chef w.a.n.g from the beginning, but unfortunately, she wasnt. She couldnt bring herself to face her feelings no matter what.

Chef w.a.n.g looked at Lian Qian quietly and smiled. Madam, go back. 1 was just joking with you. Theres no drug in the wine. If you dont believe me, you can drink it. Its getting late. Go back and rest early.

The moment they looked at each other, Lian Qian knew that Chef w.a.n.g had read her mind.

She looked at the wine gla.s.s on the table and downed it almost without hesitation.

Lian Qian returned to the main courtyard in a daze. After she fell asleep, tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes. The pillow was drenched. She was already 45 years old and had been stubborn for her entire life. She would probably be so until her death.

If Chef w.a.n.g said that he was joking, he must be joking.

Even Su Yanyu knew that it was not a joke. How could Lian Qian not know?

Su Yanyu could feel Lian Qian, so tonight was very difficult for him. At dawn, the servant brought breakfast over. Lian Qian held the bowl with trembling hands. When the taste was the same as what she was familiar with, she seemed to be relieved.

Lian Qian instructed the maidservants, Go and get Chef w.a.n.g. I want to eat something else for lunch.

She was relieved, but she had to see him with her own eyes to be a.s.sured.

The maidservant brought over a fourteen-year-old girl. When she saw Lian Qian, she was a little afraid, but she still tried her best to explain, My master said that I need to take care of Madam from now on..
