Chapter 214 Tipping Off

At exactly 12 noon, two staff members from the private chef arrived at the door with food.

They neatly and orderly delivered the homemade dishes from the insulated boxes to the backyard.

Yuanxi and Yuannan hurriedly helped to put the food on the table.

In less than five minutes, eight delicious and visually appealing dishes, plus a bowl of sea cucumber soup for each person, and dessert were all prepared.

Everyone put down their work and sat down together.

“Mr. Ye is really generous. You can’t even order food from ‘Private Kitchen’ if you go there directly, let alone order takeout. Yet he still had eight dishes delivered.” Yuan Xi whispered to Yuan Nan.

After Zhang Xin distributed the bowls and chopsticks, everyone started eating.

Luo Shu looked at the table full of dishes, all of which were her favorites. They weren't too oily, and two of them were even a little sour, which suited her taste perfectly.

She ate a lot and her mood improved considerably.

Just then, the bell outside the door rang, indicating that someone had opened the door.

A bell hangs in front of the door, so it will ring whenever someone opens the door to come in.

Everyone's eyes turned towards the door.

At this time, a sign still hangs outside the door: "Resting, please do not disturb."

Logically, no one should be able to come in.

Just as Zhang Xin walked out, she saw Ye Fou walk in, followed by two servants carrying insulated boxes of private dishes.

"Anything else?" Zhang Xin asked casually.

"Um?"

besides?

What's the meaning?

Why is there still more?

"Sorry, I had something to take care of earlier, so I'm a little late. I hope you're not hungry."

Before he could react, he had already reached the backyard.

As soon as they stepped into the backyard, they saw everyone sitting at the dining table. The dishes on the table had been mostly eaten, as Yuan Xi and Yuan Nan were already full.

"..."

Zhang Xin looked at the people Ye Fou brought. Who delivered the food from the 'private chef' that they had just eaten?

All eyes met.

Even the two servants next to him cast strange glances at him.

This meal is non-refundable. Even if you're already full, the meal has been delivered, so you still have to pay even if you don't eat it!

"Didn't he deliver this dish?" Ye Nan asked Yuan Xi secretly from the side.

"It doesn't look like it."

"Could this have been sent by President Yu?"

"Shh!" Yuan Xi quickly stopped Ye Nan from speaking.

At this time, Luo Shu should avoid talking about Yu Zhan. Even if Yu Zhan sent the meal, once you've eaten it, that's it. Just don't say anything.

The voice was very soft, but some people still heard it.

"Xiao Ye, this..." Teacher Hu was a little surprised. She also thought that Ye Fou had asked someone to deliver the meal in advance.

I just heard him say he would be late, and everyone thought it was him who would be late, but it turns out the food will be late too.

Ye Fou's deep eyes darkened, and his expression turned grim.

He glanced at Gan Chang'an, who was eating his meal as if nothing was wrong.

This man must have tipped them off!

Otherwise, how could this meal have encountered so many unexpected problems when the restaurant started preparing it, leaving him in such a disheveled state?

It's one thing to be late, but they even ordered food to be delivered!

Old fox!

Yu Yu sensed something amiss and secretly twitched the corner of his mouth.

This Yu Zhan is at least a man; he defended against Ye Fou to this extent, no one else can do that!

She looked at Gan Chang'an and added a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to his plate.

Gan Chang'an smiled and said thank you.

Luo Shu naturally saw through this matter as well.

"Put it in the fridge. We can eat here tonight before going home." She smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Ye Fou could only nod and reply with a single word, "Okay."

Yuanxi hurriedly called two servants to the kitchen to put the food in the refrigerator.

Great, now I can enjoy delicious food from various restaurants all day long.

"Who sent this?" Teacher Hu couldn't help but ask.

“A friend,” Yu Yu replied.

"What a coincidence today," Teacher Hu said with a smile.

"Yes, that's because our studio has good feng shui!"

"But the dishes are really good, quite to my liking."

Ye Fou stood to the side without saying a word, his face growing even uglier.

"Mr. Ye, there's more! Come sit down and eat with us! It's delicious!" Gan Chang'an hurriedly handed him the bowl and chopsticks from the side.

He was responsible for protecting Luo Shu, and besides receiving his salary, what probably made him happiest was being able to have such a luxurious lunch!

Ye Fou was stunned, his anger rising to the top of his head!

But he couldn't get angry; he had to forcefully suppress his rage!

How could he not have thought that Yu Zhan had this trick up his sleeve!

Luo Shu, who was standing to the side, took a bowl of soup and slowly drank it, which could be considered as keeping him company while he ate.

Yu Yu also deliberately slowed down.

On the contrary, Gan Chang'an, who was standing to the side, was eating like he hadn't eaten for years, without caring about his image at all.

*

We ate dinner at the studio before heading back.

Luo Shu did not stay overnight at the studio, but drove back to the villa.

When she returned to the villa, she saw that the lights in the backyard were still on.

She was a bit tired today. She spent her lunch break with Teacher Hu and didn't get much rest. Plus, the backlog of work from the previous period had left her feeling overwhelmed.

Seeing the lights suddenly turn on in the backyard, she couldn't help but walk over.

Aunt Xu has always been in charge of taking care of the villa's yard.

In the past, Luo Shu loved to sit in the rocking chair in the backyard to read and draw. But after she opened her studio, she rarely went there anymore. She would go home and work in her study, then fall asleep as soon as she got home. She simply didn't have time to do these romantic things.

Today is quite unusual.

When she arrived at the backyard, she saw Aunt Xu turning on the water and carefully watering the surrounding plants.

"Aunt Xu," Luo Shu greeted her.

"Oh! Madam, you're back!" Aunt Xu hurriedly turned off the water, afraid of spilling it on her. "Don't come any closer, the floor is wet and a bit slippery."

Luo Shu stood still, not lifting her foot, and she was too lazy to look. However, she seemed to have noticed something.

This place used to be planted entirely with hydrangeas, but now the varieties have changed.

Fresh shoots have just emerged from the soil, and the entire patch of hydrangeas has been replaced.

"What is this?" She then noticed that the back garden had been transformed into something quite unique.

Aunt Xu looked a little awkward. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, "These are tulips that my husband planted some time ago. I heard that the seeds were even airlifted from abroad. He planted them overnight. I only found out when I received a call from him in the middle of the night."

Aunt Xu used to be a flower farmer and is very familiar with flowers.

Luo Shu paused, her gaze slightly unfocused.

She vaguely remembered one night when she was half asleep and the person next to her was nowhere to be found. She thought that some international conference had held him up again.

He came back late at night, and then took another shower before going back to sleep.

He went to work early the next day.

He didn't say anything.

Aunt Xu continued, "My husband hasn't been back these past few days, and he asked me to help take care of them. I noticed that the weather is really hot today, so I'll give them some water tonight."

"Mm," Luo Shu replied casually. "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Xu."

"You're too kind, Madam!" Aunt Xu smiled and continued watering the flowers.

The husband's love for the wife is undisguised, but it seems that the two have encountered some kind of conflict, and it's not just a minor one.

She didn't dare ask, but she hoped to clear up the misunderstanding between them as soon as possible.

This couple is a rare gem of talent and beauty; it would be a real shame if they broke up!

Luo Shu was lost in thought.

She once said she wanted her garden to be filled with colorful tulips! So she could smell the tulips as soon as she woke up!

He remembered it.
