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 Wang.
After all, half of her life had passed. 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 Qian’s life remained unchanged. If not for the fact that he knew that she had dreamed of becoming Chef Wang’s 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 Qian’s 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 Wang, 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis morning, Lian Qian drank the sweet soup as usual. As soon as it entered her mouth, she frowned and spat it out. “Where’s Chef Wang?”
As soon as the soup entered her mouth, she knew that it was not made by Chef Wang.
Seeing that Lian Qian was angry, the maidservant said in fear, “Chef Wang said that he’s not in good health and can’t cook today.”
Lian Qian frowned. All these years, even if Chef Wang 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 didn’t 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 Wang 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 Wang said calmly, “Madam, since you’re here, come in and have a seat.”
Lian Qian walked in and Chef Wang closed the door. The table was filled with cold dishes, wine jars, and wine glasses, just like when they ate together in the past.
Lian Qian was a little flustered. She wanted to leave, but Chef Wang had already pushed the wine glass in front of her.
Chef Wang also picked up his glass 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 Wang shook his head. “No, I was lucky enough to see you before you got married.”
Lian Qian felt a little uneasy. “You’re drunk. You’re talking nonsense.”
Chef Wang smiled faintly. “That year, you were still a young girl, and I was just an illegitimate son of the Wang family. I liked to cook. When I saw you, 1 was amazed by you. However, I knew that we couldn’t get together. Half of my life has passed in the blink of an eye. I know that you have suffered for half of your life. All the dishes I’ve learned are for you. We’ve been together for more than ten years. Madam, don’t you have any feelings for me at all?”
Chef Wang 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 Wang 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 couldn’t muster up the courage to admit it.
Chef Wang said calmly, “How much time do you have left in this life? I’ve 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 I’m 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 I’ve done in my life. Madam, are you willing?”
Lian Qian glared at Chef Wang angrily. “You’re crazy, you’re crazy. I’ll get a doctor!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLian Qian’s mind was in a mess. However, when she stood up, Chef Wang said calmly, “It’s too late. This drug is very strong. If you don’t want to do it with me, I’ll die. 1 know that you have feelings for me, so 1 used this method to force you to face your feelings. We’re already halfway through our lives. How much time can we spend together? 1 want to be with you. If you don’t want it, I’m 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 Wang had even arranged the things after his death.
Lian Qian’s heart ached. She had not lost control like this for many years. She looked at Chef Wang in confusion and tears fell from her eyes. “We’re not fated. It’s a pity that it wasn’t 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 Wang from the beginning, but unfortunately, she wasn’t. She couldn’t bring herself to face her feelings no matter what.
Chef Wang looked at Lian Qian quietly and smiled. “Madam, go back. 1 was just joking with you. There’s no drug in the wine. If you don’t believe me, you can drink it. It’s getting late. Go back and rest early.”
The moment they looked at each other, Lian Qian knew that Chef Wang had read her mind.
She looked at the wine glass 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 Wang 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 Wang. I want to eat something else for lunch.”
She was relieved, but she had to see him with her own eyes to be assured.
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..”
