Imperial Garden.
Lin Xi lay on the chair, closing her eyes and basking in the sun.
Nothing major has happened recently, and I finished my divination this morning.
Aunt Wu walked over with a smile, "Good afternoon, young mistress."
Lin Xi opened her eyes. "Aunt Wu, you're here."
Aunt Wu looked around. "The eldest young master isn't here again."
Lin Xi glanced at her phone. "At this time, he's at the company."
"Oh," Wu Ma muttered, "Young Madam, you and the eldest young master should spend more time together. The old master and the old lady are looking forward to holding their grandson every day."
"Young Madam, let me tell you, you can do this... and then that. If you can't remember, I'll stay up all night tonight and make a dating manual for you."
Lin Xi asked meaningfully, "Aunt Wu, you know a lot?"
Aunt Wu nodded, "Putting everything else aside, I'm an expert when it comes to dating."
Lin Xi smiled brightly, "Have you ever considered putting theory into practice and trying dating yourself?"
Wu Ma was shocked. "Young Madam, I have no other pleasure in this life but shipping couples."
The strategist never goes to the battlefield; she prefers to stay on the sidelines and ship the young master and his wife.
Dating on my own... forget it!
Lin Xi's smile widened. "I've done the math, and you and Butler Liu are a match made in heaven."
She patted Wu Ma on the shoulder and said, "Good luck, hurry up and win over Butler Liu."
Wu Ma's pupils dilated in shock. "Young Madam, don't talk nonsense. Butler Liu and I are just colleagues, there's absolutely nothing more to it."
"Young Madam, I'm going to cook."
Aunt Wu rushed into the kitchen, relieved.
The young mistress's gaze just now seemed to indicate that she knew something.
No! She couldn't possibly know.
After calming down for a few minutes, Wu Ma prepared to make some desserts to distract the young mistress.
As Lin Xi slept, a sweet fragrance wafted into her nose.
There were four or five kinds of snacks on the table, exquisitely presented, with perfect color, aroma and taste, making one's appetite very whetted.
Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt Wu, you're amazing!"
"So-so," Aunt Wu said with a smile. "From left to right, they are rose macarons, burrata cheese balls, durian oat berry tarts, mung bean ice cream, and osmanthus glutinous rice balls."
"Oh, and there's also a bowl of rose and lychee bird's nest soup, which is good for beauty, nourishing the skin, and replenishing qi and blood."
"Young Madam, please try it and tell me what aspects need improvement?"
Lin Xi picked up a piece of mung bean shaved ice and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, it's so delicious. It's sweet, soft, and chewy with a delicate texture."
She ate a few other things, "Wow, this brahma is delicious, and so is this tart."
Wu Ma smiled from ear to ear, "Young Madam, I'm glad you like it. I don't have any other skills, but I do have a little bit of talent in cooking."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Aunt Wu, you're too modest."
"You also have many other special skills, such as... a very quick mind and very nimble legs."
Wu Ma twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Young Madam, please don't insult this old servant."
"I'm genuinely praising you," Lin Xi said casually. "Aunt Wu, how many years have you worked for the Fu family?"
Aunt Wu said slowly, "I can't remember, maybe more than ten years ago."
“I started working when I was fifteen, and all my money was swindled away. Luckily, I met the old lady.”
"The old lady took pity on me and let me work for the Fu family."
"After that..." she paused for a moment, "Young Madam, I know everything the eldest young master likes, you can ask him anything."
Lin Xi understood that Aunt Wu didn't want to talk about the past, so she followed her lead and asked.
What does Fu Jingyao like to eat?
Aunt Wu got really excited when she talked about this, counting on her fingers.
"The young master doesn't eat cilantro, scallions, ginger, or Sichuan peppercorns; he doesn't eat eggplant, carrots, celery, or houttuynia cordata; he doesn't eat animal organs or skin; he doesn't eat..."
Lin Xi's lips twitched. "He's really hard to raise."
Wu Ma nodded vigorously, "Young Madam, your appetite is much better than that of the Eldest Young Master."
She continued to complain, "He won't eat anything that's too spicy, too sweet, too salty, or too sour. And with fruit, he won't eat anything with seeds..."
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"
Lin Xi gave her a wink and coughed desperately.
Aunt Wu immediately understood, "Although the young master doesn't eat this or that, he..."
She couldn't think of any words to praise him, so she left a comment and ran off.
"Young Madam, I'm going to make dinner."
Lin Xi: "..."
As expected, Aunt Wu was quick-witted and agile, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Fu Jingyao sat opposite him, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Aunt Wu is exaggerating. I'm not picky about food."
"Haha." Lin Xi chuckled dryly. She didn't believe that picky eaters didn't realize they were picky.
She casually pushed the snacks next to her to the person opposite her, saying, "Aunt Wu just made fruit tarts, they're especially delicious, you should try some."
Fu Jingyao smelled a strange odor and frowned slightly; he didn't like strongly scented fruits.
However, this was given to him by Lin Xi.
Fu Jingyao picked up a spoon, scooped out a large piece, and tasted just a little bit.
The outer layer is crispy, the middle is tender and smooth, and the taste is not bad, but it is too sweet and has a strange smell.
Lin Xi asked, "Is it delicious?"
Fu Jingyao smiled and said, "It's fine."
"Then you should eat more." Lin Xi pushed the whole plate of fruit tarts towards him.
Fu Jingyao's brow twitched. "No need, you eat."
Lin Xi noticed something amiss and deliberately scooped a spoonful of water and put it near his mouth, saying, "Here, don't be shy with me."
Fu Jingyao held his breath. "Okay."
He had just opened his mouth when Lin Xi suddenly turned the spoon around and swallowed the pastry in one gulp.
Fu Jingyao was stunned.
Lin Xi looked at him and said, "If you don't like it, just say so. I won't force you to eat it."
