Chapter 181: Losing Composure

Translator: Lonelytree

Old Master Gong was very happy after breakfast and said with a smile, "Qiuying really knows how to cook. No wonder her cooking skills are praised by everyone!"

Xiao Zhengyang was happy to hear the praise for his wife. However, he still said modestly, "Master, you've already praised her once. If you continue to praise her, I'm afraid that the child's mother will become too full of herself!"

Old Master Gong shook his head and said with a smile, "She deserves all the praise. Plus, if I praise her more, she might cook for me more often!" At this point, Old Master Gong paused. "Zhengyang, may I discuss something with you?"

"Of course, Sir!" Xiao Zhengyang said very respectfully.

"Ahem, it's like this." Old Master Gong seemed to be a little embarrassed, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring my chef with me. Over the next few days, can Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, and I go to your house for food? Of course, we will pay! When my chef is here, we'll stop bothering you." Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang had large appetites, so he had to ask.

Xiao Wang, who stood behind, had his eyes glow with anticipation.

"Oh. It's that!" Xiao Zhengyang replied, "Of course, there's no problem! My family cooks every day anyway. We always welcome guests. However, Sir, we only know how to cook simple meals. I hope you, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Zhang don't mind. As for the fees, it's alright. We grow our own paddy and vegetables anyway."

"Haha. We like Qiuying's home-cooked dishes the best!" Old Master Gong said, "Then, we'll have to trouble Qiuying more in the future. However, we need to pay. Or else we'd be too embarrassed. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang have big appetites!"

Xiao Zhengyang thought about it and nodded. "Okay then."

Old Master Gong turned to Xiao Lingyu, who was so pale and cautious. He asked, "Girl, are you afraid of me?"

Xiao Lingyu didn't answer because she was dazed.

Xiao Zhengyang used his hand to nudge his daughter, "Yu 'Er, Elder Gong is talking to you."

Xiao Lingyu was flustered, and she mumbled, "Ah? What is it?"

Xiao Zhengyang, "..." What is wrong with my daughter? I know she is pregnant, but why is she so easily distracted all of a sudden?

Before Xiao Zhengyang could say anything, Old Master Gong asked again, "Girl, are you afraid of me? I notice that you're always in a flighty state when you're around me."

'The girl is friends with Jiang Tao and Hao 'Er, so she shouldn't be so easily fazed.'

Xiao Lingyu gathered herself and shook her head. "Of course not, Old Master Gong. You're so kind, so why would I be afraid of you? I'm just not feeling so well lately." Actually, when Xiao Lingyu heard Old Master Gong say they were going to have meals at their home every day in the future, she was dumbfounded.

She wanted to avoid this, but she was in no position to deny Old Master Gong his request. She had no valid reason to stop him from coming.

So, she was caught in another dilemma.

'Oh well. Things will straighten themselves out in the end! I'll deal with this in the future! Being too evasive now will only make people more suspicious!'

Xiao Lingyu tried to relax, and then, she asked, "Old Master Gong, I heard that you've bought almost all the flowers and plants dug up by the villagers?"
