"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Wu Lai said, wiping his sweat.
Song Xiwei felt that Wu Lai seemed very nervous today, as if he was afraid of being stared at by her.
"Why do you look a little guilty? Are you hiding something from me?"
"Me? Did I?" Wu Lai tried to evade the question.
Song Xi narrowed her eyes and stared at him, questioning, "Have you met with Ao Qian in private?"
"Ah, haha, no, I've seen him, how could I not tell you?"
"Then tell me, what about the food you had delivered to me today? Do you think I can't tell? Do you think ordinary people can't make that kind of food? It's clearly made by Aoqian himself. I can tell."
Song Xiwei pressed closer, and Wu Lai began wiping his sweat, muttering to himself, "You've really screwed me over."
Song Xi narrowed her eyes slightly: "Who did you say tricked you to death?"
"Ah, I didn't say that. You misheard me. What I said was that it might be that the God of Cookery in the Heavenly Realm made it especially for you according to your preferences. You just haven't had such delicious food in a long time, so you thought it was made by the person in your heart. In fact, the Demon Lord is newly married, so how could he possibly cook for you personally? You should be more realistic and stop thinking about these things."
As Wulai spoke, he noticed that Song Xiwei's expression was getting increasingly off, and he realized that he might have said something too harsh.
He tried to change his mind, but Song Xiwei shook her head and denied his words. "No, I wouldn't go so far as to confuse his cooking with other people's. If you don't believe me, you can find the chef who cooked for me right now and make me the exact same food again."
Wu Lai sighed. Seeing Song Xiwei's expression, he knew that the more he refused, the more trouble would ensue.
"Okay, then wait a moment, I'll send someone to make the arrangements right away."
"Let me meet that master chef."
Song Xiwei suddenly made a suggestion.
"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate? There's a difference between men and women..."
"Have you forgotten that my specialty is dressing up as a man? With magic, it'll be completely undetectable and won't have any negative impact on you."
While Wu Lai was still thinking of some excuse, Song Xi stared at him and said, "If you still won't let me see that chef, does that mean he's hiding some unspeakable secret? Or is that chef actually Ao Qian?"
"Don't make wild guesses. He didn't even show up for our wedding, so how could he possibly be in the Heavenly Realm now?"
Song Xiwei was still unwilling to give up; she seemed eager to prove something.
"Let me see him. I want to see him cook those dishes with my own eyes to prove that I was just being delusional. If it really was just me being delusional, I won't cause any more trouble. Just this once, Wu Lai, please help me."
It would be unreasonable for Wulai to refuse again, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Wait for me outside the Lingxiao Palace, I'll be right there."
Song Xi nodded slightly. "No rush, I'll wait for you."
Song Xiwei waited outside the Lingxiao Palace for quite a while before Wulai strolled out.
Seeing Wu Lai approaching step by step, Song Xiwei complained to him, "You haven't changed your clothes either, why are you taking so long?"
Wu Lai glanced at her with a lingering gaze, his lips barely moving. "You yourself said you weren't in a hurry, so what's wrong with waiting a little longer?"
Wu Lai rarely spoke so bluntly, and Song Xi was puzzled as to why he had suddenly become so irritable.
She stared at Wu Lai for a while, unable to put her finger on what was strange about him. She had a vague feeling that the Wu Lai in front of her was somewhat different from the one in the Lingxiao Palace.
He looks like it's still him, but something about him has changed.
Or perhaps it is the powerful perception of the divine being.
This Wu Lai seems to be the same Wu Lai I saw last night after I got drunk.
Song Xi squinted at him, trying to figure out something.
Suddenly, Wu Lai flicked his forehead. "What are you looking at! We're in a fake marriage! Don't even think about taking advantage of me!"
