Chapter 155 Inquiring about Lu Qingjia
Nian'an also noticed Ye Ting's furrowed brows and sneered inwardly, "Ye Ting, you've been slapped in the face!"
However, Nian'an was more curious about Ye Ting's reaction after tasting the pastry. "Ye Ting, since this was sent by Young Master Qin, you've never seen anything like it before, have you? Why don't you try some?"
Ye Ting wanted to decline, but it smelled so good, "Then I'll try it."
Nian An: Hmph, even the most stubborn person would have to kneel down upon smelling this!
Ye Ting carefully picked up the pastry and took a small bite.
I can't quite describe the taste, it's just...
He felt like a fleeting cloud, blown up into the sky by the haphazard winds. The wind that carried him up felt sweet and gentle. Although he could clearly feel this sensation, he couldn't break free from it and was trapped in it, unable to extricate himself.
Nian An took in Ye Ting's reaction, snorted inwardly, and felt completely refreshed!
What's the most satisfying thing in the world? It's seeing someone who was just being stubborn get proven wrong!
Nian'an asked, "Ye Ting, how does it taste?"
Ye Ting was still immersed in the delicious taste and could hardly believe it tasted like this, but he had to admit that he was completely captivated by it. "Very good."
Ye Ting felt ashamed when he thought about his previous reaction and his current reaction.
But then he thought, what good is pride to a man like me? So he hardened his resolve again and asked, "Are you sure this was really made by Young Master Qin?"
Nian'an seemed to sense the doubt in Ye Ting's words, and her brows furrowed slightly. "Of course, this was made by Young Master Qin."
However, she understood the doubt in Ye Ting's words. After all, she had been wondering before why Young Master Qin knew how to make these foods that she had never eaten before.
But later she felt relieved. Some people are just born with the talent for this, and they are destined to make a living in this field, aren't they?
Ye Ting asked in confusion, "How come this Young Master Qin is so capable? How can he do everything?"
The crystal steamed buns and spicy crayfish I ate at Zuixianglou last time were supposedly made by this Mr. Qin.
Ye Ting wondered, "Are there really people this amazing, with so many extraordinary ideas in their minds?"
Nian An said, "Perhaps Young Master Qin is a genius in this field!"
Ye Ting felt as if he had been enlightened, "That makes sense."
Sometimes fate is just unfair, and Ye Ting knows this too.
He didn't think about it anymore, but looked at the envelope Nian An had just given him.
Young Master Qin is a good friend of the mistress. What if they reveal some unspeakable secrets in their letters?
Ye Ting thought to himself that he must keep an eye on things for his master!
His trip back to the capital was merely a chance encounter with the Prince's residence. He was ordered by the Princess to check on the two maids, and seeing that they were alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nian'an, I apologize for what happened just now. I still have things to take care of that the mistress and the others asked me to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"You and Nianning must take good care of yourselves while you're in the manor. Otherwise, if anything happens, the mistress will definitely hold me responsible first."
It's because he came back once.
When Nian An heard that Ye Ting was leaving, his eyes immediately reddened, but he knew that Ye Ting would not come back for no reason, so he could only promise, "Ye Ting, Nian Ning and I will take good care of ourselves."
"At the same time, please pass on a message to the Princess for me and Nian'an and Nianning, telling her that we are doing well in the manor and that she should not worry about us."
"It's early spring now, and the temperature in Jiangnan is still a bit low. You must tell the princess to wear more clothes so as not to catch a cold."
Nian'an inadvertently said a lot of caring words, and Ye Ting saw her red eyes and felt a rare pang of pity.
Although he and Nian'an often bickered, they had spent some time together in the Prince's mansion, and it would be a lie to say they had no feelings for each other.
Ye Ting patted Nian An's head and gave her a brotherly hug. "Nian An, I will tell the mistress everything, so don't worry."
The man exuded a faint fragrance, which drifted into her nose like wisps of silk. Even through her clothes, his warmth felt almost touching her skin.
Nian'an blushed. This was the first time in her life that she had ever hugged a man.
Her heart was pounding like a drum in her left atrium. Nian'an felt the palpitations in her chest, and even she, who was usually cheerful and enthusiastic, couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Ye Ting was also ashamed.
It was also the first time he had ever hugged a woman.
The woman exuded a faint lavender scent, and the soft touch in his arms stirred a surge of desire within him, as if it were spreading from the depths of his parched heart to his entire body.
He initially thought it was just a short hug, but seeing that Nian'an didn't resist, Ye Ting felt embarrassed to push her away.
While desires roamed freely in his heart, Ye Ting also developed different feelings for Nian An.
They didn't spend much time together, but they often joked and teased each other.
He had always treated Nian'an like a younger sister, but now he realized that he might want more.
However, he didn't know what he wanted or how much more he wanted.
He needs time to think.
Seeing that Ye Ting didn't push her away, but instead tightened his grip, Nian An felt a strange emotion swirling around her even more.
Looking up, she saw Ye Ting's slender profile, his large, well-defined hands embracing her waist.
The itchy sensation made her feel restless and eager.
"Night Court..."
Nian'an couldn't help but speak up.
Seemingly realizing that the two had been embracing for a long time, Ye Ting paused for a moment before releasing Nian An.
He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Nian'an, I was rude just now, I didn't mean to..."
Before she could even utter the three words "deliberately," Nian'an feigned anger and said, "I understand, you don't need to explain."
Ye Ting laughed. He also noticed the blush on Nian An's cheeks and suddenly felt an irresistible urge to tease her.
But he knew that time was running out, and he had more important things to do.
He used his lightness skill to leap onto the roof, looked at Nian'an standing behind the stone lion, and said, "Master and Mistress will be back soon, as will I."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ting used his lightness skill to leave.
Just as Nian'an was about to speak, she noticed that there was no one on the roof.
She smiled faintly. This Ye Ting was truly...
Ye Ting's departure from the Regent's Palace was practically a hasty escape; he had not forgotten the task his mistress had entrusted to him.
—To inquire about Lu Qingjia's whereabouts.
