Chapter 1630 - 1630 Telling Yang Ji the Truth


1630 Telling Yang Ji the Truth


She didn’t plan to hide the cooperation from the man in front of her, nor was there any need to do so. She gave him a rough account of the spirit tea cooperation and also said that the message just now was from Fan Yin.


Qi Zhenbai was very possessive of his wife, but he had a big heart. Seeing his wife’s frank expression, he didn’t ask any more questions.


The three arrived at the villa not long after.


It was Yang Ji’s first time staying at her villa, but Chi Shuyan welcomed him warmly. She had even called Chef Li earlier on and asked him to help prepare dinner.

!!

As soon as the three entered the villa, the smell of Chef Li’s cooking was simply so fragrant that they swallowed their tongues. Although it was just a whiff, it had to be said that an imperial chef was worthy of the t.i.tle; other chefs couldn’t compare at all.


Before Yang Ji entered, he smelled the food and couldn’t help but ask Chi Shuyan, “Master Chi, why does your dinner smell so good?”


Chi Shuyan was used to it and knew very well how good Chef Li’s cooking was. After her breakup with Qi Zhenbai, she didn’t lose weight, but even put on a lot of weight. This was naturally thanks to Chef Li.


After her breakup, she had wanted to nurse her sadness for a bit, but when she smelled Chef Li’s cooking, it was impossible for her to go without eating at all.


As for Qi Zhenbai, he didn’t have a big appet.i.te. Whether food was delicious or not didn’t matter much to him – it was fine as long as it was edible. When it came to Chef Li’s cooking, however, he would be moved by it occasionally.


Chef Li was really the best at cooking.


Chi Shuyan welcomed Yang Ji in and told him not to stand on ceremony.


Yang Ji was lucky this time. As soon as he entered the house, Chef Li was basically done preparing dinner. He just had to bring the food to the table.


Because they had a guest, Chef Li demonstrated his best cooking skills once more. There was eight treasure chicken, steamed hairy crab, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and steamed fish. Moreover, Chef Li had specially prepared a lot of after-dinner pastries on the side.


The small pastries were incomparably exquisite, and looked very appetizing.


Yang Ji’s eyes were fixed on the table full of dishes. It wasn’t just because Chef Li’s dishes looked too sumptuous – he had also used ingredients to create all sorts of simple and complicated patterns. The big steamed fish in the middle of the table even had carrots arranged into the shape of a dragon.


It was a feast for the eyes. Those who didn’t know better would think that they were eating in a hotel.


Yang Ji enjoyed this dinner. He had eaten a lot of gourmet food before, but when he tasted Chef Li’s dinner that night, he was instantly shocked. He was like a starving person who hadn’t eaten in a long time, and his eyes turned green as he stared at the food on the table. He even forgot about Master Chi and her intimidating husband as he wolfed down the food.


In the end, he was full, but still wanted to get himself another bowl of rice. Fortunately, Chi Shuyan quickly stopped him. Otherwise, this kid probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well tonight.


Chef Li also liked Yang Ji very much for being so appreciative of his dinner. Han Yu also liked Yang Ji and got along with him. As for Li Yu, he still maintained his aloof att.i.tude, as if Yang Ji was lucky to be able to eat Chef Li’s cooking and eat with the Ninth Prince.


Yang Ji naturally didn’t know what Li Yu was thinking, but he was surprised to see two young kids living with Master Chi.


Looking at Yang Ji’s face, Chi Shuyan knew that this kid had probably misunderstood. Sure enough, the next second, Yang Ji asked, “Master, are these your two children? They’re already so big?”


Yang Ji gaped as he asked the question, and he snuck a glance at Master Chi’s husband. Master Chi’s husband ate like a soldier, with an upright posture and his back straight, and his face was cold and serious. Yang Ji really didn’t dare talk much to Master Chi’s husband.


He only dared to talk to Master Chi.


When Chi Shuyan heard Yang Ji’s question, she couldn’t help but facepalm. “Do you think I can give birth to such big kids at my age?”


Of course, Chi Shuyan couldn’t say much about the two little guys’ true ident.i.ties to Yang Ji. She could only say that they were friends.


Li Yu’s little face was especially angry when he heard this, while Han Yu just listened obediently. After dinner, Yang Ji helped to pick up Han Yu. In fact, Yang Ji especially wanted to carry the two children at the same time, but the other little guy was obviously not to be trifled with, and wouldn’t let him.


Yang Ji could only hug Han Yu and sigh at Chef Li’s good cooking.


Chi Shuyan smiled and didn’t say much.


Chi Shuyan knew that Qi Zhenbai was busy, so after dinner, she told him to go upstairs to his study first, while she would chat with their guest for a while longer.


Before Qi Zhenbai went upstairs, his cold eyes fell on Yang Ji again. After confirming that he didn’t have the slightest bit of potential as a love rival, he turned around and went upstairs to do other things.


Yang Ji’s heart really turned cold under the gaze of Master Chi’s husband. He didn’t even dare breathe loudly when this person was around. Fortunately, the Master’s husband quickly left.


Yang Ji was impressed that Master Chi had found such a serious husband. Although he was really good-looking, his aura was enough to scare anyone, to say nothing of spending the rest of one’s life with him.


After her man went to work, Chi Shuyan took a moment to carefully examine Yang Ji’s physiognomy again. She saw that his short lifespan was gradually changing. However, she couldn’t be sure if Yang Ji’s physiognomy would change back again, so she could only have another look tomorrow.


Yang Ji was flattered, nervous and grateful to be able to stay at Master Chi’s house. After dinner, he couldn’t help but feel nervous again. It was only when Chi Shuyan repeatedly comforted him that Yang Ji’s tense heart gradually settled.


For the sake of the two little guys, Chi Shuyan had bought a TV back then. Now that there was a TV in the living room, it was good for everyone to kill some time.


Li Yu and Han Yu had always been interested in TV, and now watched a cartoon especially seriously. Chi Shuyan watched the cartoon with the two little guys and chatted with Yang Ji from time to time.


As for what happened before Yan Liling died, Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to hide it from Yang Ji, but she didn’t know where to start. When it was almost 8pm, she said, “If there’s nothing urgent, it’s best if you don’t interact much with Miss Yuan for the time being. It’ll be detrimental to you if you do!”


Yang Ji had a good impression of Yuan Yuan before, mainly because she had a very good relations.h.i.+p with Liling. So, when he heard Master Chi suddenly say this, Yang Ji was stumped and puzzled. He tilted his head and looked at her. “Master Chi?”


“I suspect that Miss Yan Liling’s death has something to do with Miss Yuan!” Yuan Yuan had even added fuel to the fire behind the scenes.


Afraid that Yang Ji wouldn’t believe her, Chi Shuyan relayed what Yan Liling’s a.s.sistant had said, including how Yuan Yuan teased Yan Liling and Xia Mingcheng as a couple in front of everyone, but secretly stared at the two of them with a resentful expression.


Before the incident, the other party stopped Yan Liling from looking for Chi Shuyan, and found her another Master instead. Not long after, Yan Liling died, and the other party even warned Yan Liling’s a.s.sistant to hide the inside story from the police.


This naturally was most likely a cover up, but Chi Shuyan didn’t say more. After all, even if Yuan Yuan really was questioned over this matter, there was no substantial evidence. What if the other party said that she had looked for a Master to help Yan Liling, and not to deliberately harm her?


What could Chi Shuyan say?


She was saying all this now because she wanted Yang Ji to be more wary of people and not be completely reliant on anyone who could harm him.


Chi Shuyan spoke extremely calmly, but Yang Ji was shocked and in disbelief when he heard her words. His hands trembled. One could imagine how he was feeling.


Yang Ji actually wanted to say that it was impossible at first, but after listening carefully to the details provided by Master Chi as well as how Liling’s a.s.sistant was warned to hide the incident from the police, he couldn’t help but have doubts.


Moreover, Master Chi had no grudge against Yan Liling. Would she harm her for no reason?


So, the more Yang Ji listened to the truth, the angrier he became. His face was especially unsightly. He wanted to force out a polite smile, but couldn’t smile at all.


Chi Shuyan didn’t know if the other party had heard her or not, but she heard him ask shakily, “She… She had an especially good relations.h.i.+p with Liling and treated her especially well. She… is…?” Before he could ask the question, an absurd thought flashed through Yang Ji’s mind.


He suddenly thought of many things that had happened in the past.


For example, whenever Liling went out with Xia Mingcheng, she would run into Yuan Yuan. Although that Yuan woman didn’t show much affection toward Xia Mingcheng on the surface, when they were together, Yuan Yuan seemed to especially like talking to Xia Mingcheng.


Yang Ji was only a little skeptical at first, but the more he thought about all the coincidences in the past, the more he felt that Yuan Yuan actually acted very close to Xia Mingcheng.


Speaking of which, Yuan Yuan was quite cold to Liling at first, but then seemed to be happy after Liling got together with Xia Mingcheng.


The more Yang Ji thought about it, the worse his face became. The veins on the back of his hands bulged, his chest heaved as if he was trying his best to suppress something, and he bit his lip until it bled.


Chi Shuyan was really worried. She patted the two little guys’ heads and told them to go to sleep first.


The two kids were still very obedient and listened to Chi Shuyan. Besides, there was no cartoon to watch now, so the two children didn’t linger and left obediently.


After the two little guys left, Yang Ji’s face turned even whiter and more livid.


Chi Shuyan very much suspected that if she wasn’t here, the other party would probably have rushed out the door to the hospital to look for Yuan Yuan. Worried that he would be too upset, she stopped and comforted him. “The reason I’m saying so much is to tell you to be more wary of people. However, the truth hasn’t come out yet, so it’s best not to alert the enemy for the time being. Of course, not only do I suspect that Yan Liling’s death is related to Yuan Yuan, this woman is most likely involved in what happened to you. Don’t worry!”
