Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 769 - 094 Li Mansion Celebration_2
Chapter 769: 094 Li Mansion Celebration_2
Mrs. Liu nodded and continued, "The young master’s wedding is a grand occasion, and the guests are all prominent figures in town, the master cares deeply about it."
Lin Yuan began to eat a piece of pastry slowly, feeling very pleased. Lady Jin was really helpful. Although she wasn’t favored, she had precisely pinched Li Chang’s soft spot.
It was just a pity that she couldn’t witness Lin Siyu looking frustrated in person, which left Lin Yuan feeling a bit disappointed.
Mrs. Liu seemed to drink her tea nonchalantly but glanced at Lin Yuan out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing her hesitating to speak, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh quietly and said in a low voice, "Brother Shen asked me to pass on a message to you. Li Mansion has been very busy these days; if you’re not free, there’s no need for you to come here."
Mrs. Liu smiled shyly and nodded.
The way Mrs. Liu was acting like a young girl in love amused Lin Yuan, but she still felt she needed to give a word of caution.
"Mrs. Liu, I don’t mean to throw cold water on you, but do you and Brother Shen plan to continue sneaking around like this forever? You should know there is no wall that doesn’t leak. If Li Chang or Lady Jin finds out, neither of you will end well."
Lin Yuan’s reminder wasn’t something Mrs. Liu hadn’t considered, but she always tended to ignore it, always hoping against hope that they could continue to be happy like this.
Ying Tao bit her lip, clearly full of worries about the future of the two. She knew Mrs. Liu’s nature very well; she had wanted them to find a chance to elope, but she knew they definitely wouldn’t dare.
"Miss Lin, please help my mistress think of a way," Ying Tao’s little face was so anxious that it turned red. If it weren’t for the presence of so many ladies around, she would probably have kneeled down to beg Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan looked deeply at the two of them and honestly, she didn’t want to intervene, but she didn’t know how to. She had considered elopement, but just like Ying Tao thought, Mrs. Liu probably didn’t have the courage to go through with it.
However, even so, she wanted to help them.
"Mrs. Liu, let’s cross the bridge when we come to it. Since I agreed to help you at the beginning, I will not let you fall into a trap."
Perhaps feeling the mood was too somber, Lin Yuan gave a charming smile and said, "You should still think about it when you have time. Think about where you want to go, what you want to do once you gain your freedom."
Since Lin Yuan had said that, it meant she had agreed to help them. Mrs. Liu’s eyes slowly filled with tears, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe them away. Ying Tao was so excited that her lips quivered, repeatedly thanking her and attracting curious looks from several clueless ladies.
After all, Mrs. Liu was just a Little Concubine and she left after a short while in the drawing-room to report back to Lady Jin’s room. It wasn’t long before Li Chengzhi brought the bride back, and everyone gathered in the living room for the ceremony, chatting and laughing lively.
Lin Yuan had just appeared in the living room when Xia Zheng grabbed her hand.
Lin Yuan was surprised to see Xia Zheng in the crowd, "He actually didn’t ask you to officiate the wedding?"
’He’ of course was Li Chang who knew about Xia Zheng’s identity, hence he had personally sent an invitation to Fuman Building.
Xia Zheng’s fingers scratched the palm of Lin Yuan’s hand, raising an eyebrow and snorting, "Just because he asked me to officiate the wedding, I should do it? That would make me too cheap."
"It wouldn’t be expensive anyway," Lin Yuan chuckled, deliberately dissing the proud man.
"Hmph, whether it’s expensive or not, I’ve ended up in your hands, and you can’t get rid of me even if you wanted to," Xia Zheng glanced at her sideways, his smile harboring mischief.
"I do have you in my hands," Lin Yuan didn’t take the bait, continuing to tease, even deliberately showing an exaggerated look of disdain on her face.
That look amused Xia Zheng, who struggled to hold back his laughter as he gently pinched her waist. Rather than a pinch, it was more of a tickle.
Lin Yuan was ticklish, especially around her waist. Her brow furrowed, and she quickly grabbed the hand of the perpetrator, staring with what she thought was a stern warning in her eyes. But the warning clearly didn’t have the desired effect, and instead of stopping, Xia Zheng became even more playful.
The two of them were playing around quietly, drawing curious glances from the people around, before Xia Zheng reluctantly stopped while still not removing his hand.
Lin Yuan straightened her clothes and looked towards the center of the living room; the newlyweds had already started the ceremony.
Both were dressed in bright red wedding attire, with Li Chengzhi wearing a tall hat on his head and a large red flower on his chest, looking very festive. However, the big red flower and the one on the hat reminded Lin Yuan of how some ethnic groups adorn their cattle, and she couldn’t help but think that Li Chengzhi really resembled an old cow decorated with various flowers.
