Chapter 1266: A fool and a hunter (2)
"They all can laugh at me as they want, however one of these days they will realize how foolish they were," Madam Chou said angrily as she stormed inside her house. Those women and Ma Yun thought that she was accusing Ye Xiyuan because she was jealous of her. Even her daughter thought the same, her husband even told her to not make trouble!
However, the truth was that she saw a man enter Ye Xiyuan's house on that night. If not then she would have never made a fuss like that, Madam Chou was not a fool to make such a loud ruckus when the person who would be humiliated in the end would be her.
"That man walked inside that house," Madam Chou muttered as she arrived at the door of her house, she turned her attention to the manor that was right opposite to her own and then said with confusion brimming in her eyes, "However, that man never walked out of the house."
This was what she was sure of, as she had been keeping an eye on the situation from the beginning to the end as she didn't want the adulterous couple to escape punishment but even after searching from the first to the second floor, they didn't find anything.
She glanced at He Zexi who was stepping inside the house with a smile on his lips and remarked, "I have a feeling that this man will not be coming out either."
However, it had nothing to do with her. She was a smart woman and knew when to stop. Though she didn't like Ye Xiyuan she would never do something as stupid as getting involved with someone who could eat an entire man!
She humphed and then closed the door.
He Zexi on the other hand had no idea what happened behind him, he thought that everyone was looking at him because he looked very handsome. He chuckled lightly as he strode inside the manor and then knocked on the front door of the main manor.
Soon the sound of footsteps came from inside and the door of the manor was pulled open. Ye Xiyuan was dressed in a proactive red dress that hugged her figure leaving nothing to the imagination. When He Zexi saw her curvaceous figure in the small red dress, he gulped heavily.
This was it.
He was going to make all his dreams come true.
"Xiyuan, were you waiting for me?" He asked while handing the bouquet to Ye Xiyuan who took the bouquet of roses and smiled shyly.
"That's right, you took your time for sure Brother He. I was quite hungry," she remarked causing the man to look at her with confusion to which Ye Xiyuan smiled and then added, "I prepared quite a feast for us, and forgot to eat lunch. I am glad that you are here, with you here we can begin on the feast."
He Zexi smiled when he heard Ye Xiyuan's explanation. He never thought that while working under Ye Xiyuan, he would get a chance where he would be able to sit down and eat her cooking.
What was more she prepared the dishes for him after working all afternoon.
This was really —— He Zexi didn't think anymore as he bowed his head and then entered the house when he saw Ye Xiyuan step aside. As he was facing the luxurious living room, he didn't look at Ye Xiyuan whose expression twisted in a malicious grin.
"Xiyuan, is this vase from the nineteenth-century K dynasty? I remember watching it on the television when it was found," He Zexi tried to show off his intelligence as he pointed at the porcelain vase that was sitting in the corner. He wanted to show Ye Xiyuan that he was not only good with making pills and medicine but was also quite informative about history and whatnot.
"It is the same one," Ye Xiyuan nodded while looking impressed. "My fiancé bought it for me." She subtly added causing the man to turn sullen. He glared at the vase with a furious look on his face, if he had known that this was bought by Ma Yun then he would have never brought the topic up.
He cursed himself for being foolish but at the same time he snorted and thought, 'What's the point of having a lot of money, compared to me who is smart and talented that man is nothing!'
With that, he turned on his heels and looked at Ye Xiyuan before saying, "Something smells good. What did you cook Xiyuan?"
Ye Xiyuan tilted her head with an innocent smile on her face as she replied, "I cooked pig brain soup and braised beef. I am sure that you will like it," her eyes opened just a fraction as a dark look flashed in them as she added, "The meat is fresh and the brain was taken out of the skull of the pig just this morning. You will surely like the taste of the two dishes."
Though He Zexi didn't like drinking pig brain soup, he agreed because he didn't want to look picky. The two of them sat down on the dining table as Ye Xiyuan served the pig brain soup in one bowl while she served the braised beef and rice in another.
"Dig in, Brother Zexi," Ye Xiyuan said with a smile as He Zexi nodded like a fool. He picked up the spoon that was sitting on the side of the bowl before taking a few bites from it. However, as soon as he bit into the meat, he felt something off about it.
It was too hard and bitter. Even the cheapest beef didn't taste like this.
"Whats the matter?" Ye Xiyuan questioned as she looked at He Zexi who had stopped eating. "Why are you looking as if I have fed you human meat?"
"W...What?"
