Chapter 208 The Second Day of Raising the King's Secretary
"The egg custard is ready and can be taken out." The duckling stood on the small stool and turned his head.
Secretary Wang, who had been guarding the kitchen door, responded promptly and reached out to open the oven door.
"Wait!" The duckling quickly jumped off the stool, "Wear gloves!"
"Ah." Secretary Wang responded softly and took the big gloves from her small hands.
Secretary Wang held the glove in his palm but did not rush to take the egg custard. His hand just hovered in the air, forming a sharp contrast with the duck's hand.
The man's hands shone with a jade-like luster.
Secretary Wang pinched Xiaoya's fingers and asked in a low voice: "Didn't Sheng Yuxiao take you to the hospital at Wei Zesheng's home to remove these scars?"
"He said so, but I don't think it's necessary." The duckling pinched his fingertips, "The soup is almost ready."
She retracted her hand, turned back and turned off the gas stove on her left.
"Why not?" Secretary Wang asked while serving the egg custard.
Without even turning his head, the duck responded, "Because, well, it's harder to be recognized this way."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Secretary Wang put the egg custard on the table, turned around and walked back to the duck.
Xiaoya wiped her hands on her apron and gently touched Secretary Wang's fingers: "When you meet someone for the first time, you always form your first impression based on his appearance and dress, right?"
"yes."
"The hands of rich people look one way. The hands of farmers look another way. I don't know if I will encounter danger in the future, but if I do, the other party may think that I am worthless because of my hands..."
"Confusing the other party's judgment?" Secretary Wang tilted his head and smiled, "Very good."
So after seeing his hands, did the kids guess that he was more than just a secretary? Hmm?
The rice cooker suddenly made a sound.
The duckling said, "The meal is ready, go and serve it."
Secretary Wang suppressed his thoughts and replied, "Okay."
"Wait, use this spoon, I cleaned it."
Secretary Wang, who was completely distrusted, frowned but was not angry.
The two of them worked together and actually managed to put together a dinner.
Braised fish, egg custard, baked potatoes, fried yam with black fungus, eggplant casserole...it can be called a sumptuous meal.
Secretary Wang was not picky about food at all. He quickly ate most of the food on the table and burped lightly in an undignified manner.
"I just came back from eating ants, and these things are so delicious." Secretary Wang exclaimed softly.
"Ant?" The duckling looked up at him.
"Well, I have a little pet that lives in the rain forest. After we entered the rain forest, the local guide made us an ant meal."
"Ants are not very tasty," commented the duckling.
"Hmm? You've eaten it too?"
"Yes, I've also eaten centipedes, bee pupae, grasshoppers, spiders... Some people eat snakes, but they're hard to catch. I can never catch them."
If someone else heard these words, they would feel sorry for the duckling's past.
I'm so hungry that I have to catch insects to eat. What kind of life is this?
Secretary Wang's first reaction was: "Centipedes, bee pupae...are they delicious?"
The duck replied: "It's OK. I always eat some of them by borrowing someone else's pan when I sell them to them. Frying them takes too much oil."
"Then we'll eat this tomorrow."
"Ah? Where can I catch him?"
"This is easy." Secretary Wang did not say what to do.
After making a new appointment for the day, Secretary Wang was in a good mood. He said in a serious manner, "I'm going to make some PPTs. You take a rest first."
The duckling responded, putting the bowl into the dishwasher before searching for the bedroom.
She looked around... and found the audio-visual room, the gym, the indoor swimming pool, the storage room, the library... and finally discovered that there was only one bedroom.
"Where do I sleep?" The duckling knocked on the study door.
Secretary Wang thought about it.
Of all the various creatures he had raised, none of them needed a bed...
He stood up and took the duck into the bedroom: "Here it is, half is yours and half is mine."
"Okay, go ahead and do that butt kicking." The duckling walked into the bathroom carrying her own clothes and towels, and said "bye" to him before entering the room.
Secretary Wang stood there for a moment and chuckled to himself: "Yeah, it looks like a home."
Then he returned to his study and opened his laptop again.
"Oh, what happened? The camera seemed to be black just now." A questioning voice came from the computer.
"Nothing." Secretary Wang said lightly.
"I seemed to hear a child's voice?"
"You heard wrong."
"Oh." The person on the other end laughed and said, "Yeah, I thought it was popular among the upper class to kidnap other people's children and raise them."
"What do you mean?"
"Komnenos... a goddaughter has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Haven't you heard about this?"
"...I heard about it." The person is still at his house.
Secretary Wang's eyes flickered, and he said in a gentle but unquestionable tone, "Let's talk business."
"OK."
After the video conference, Secretary Wang processed some documents. When he came to the bedroom, Xiaoya was already sleeping soundly.
The bed was very big, but she just curled up in a corner.
Secretary Wang pulled her ears, pinched her nose, and poked her cheek... Oh, it was really fun.
Still alive with such a rosy and radiant complexion!
Secretary Wang suddenly felt refreshed.
The next day came in a flash.
Xu Qiulai still took her son's request seriously. She scanned her fingerprint and entered the door, knocking on the bedroom door: "Where are the people who took care of you? Why are they all gone? How did you spend this night? Where is the duck man?"
Secretary Wang sat up with difficulty and pointed to one side.
The quilt was piled up into a ball, with a small outline vaguely visible.
Xu Qiulai walked over and carefully lifted a corner of the quilt.
The duckling seemed to be aware of something, opened its eyes with fluttering eyelashes, and then crawled out from under the quilt.
She is still alive and has no missing limbs.
When I opened my eyes, they were sparkling.
"Aunt Xu?" The duckling's eyes widened, a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Xu Qiulai slowly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at his brother.
"A-choo——" Secretary Wang suddenly couldn't help but sneezed loudly.
After the fight, he was stunned for a moment.
Xu Qiulai was also stunned.
The duckling finally crawled out of the quilt and looked down at the quilt, which was completely wrapped around her.
She looked up at Secretary Wang again and asked in a low voice, "Are you catching a cold?"
Secretary Wang spoke again, his voice a little hoarse: "It seems so."
The duckling quickly crawled over and touched his forehead: "You have a fever."
The duck was a little shocked.
Secretary Wang did not kill her.
But it seems like she almost fed Secretary Wang to death!
Xu Qiulai was also shocked.
But after a brief shock, she comforted the duckling: "It's okay, he has been crispy since he was a child."
Secretary Wang hesitated to speak.
Xu Qiulai continued, "It can be regarded as revenge for the resentful souls who died at his hands."
