“Damn it! Why didn’t you inform me earlier? You made me come all the way here to the countryside to nab that damned old hag! Did you do that on purpose!?!” Tang Chao barked, stomping his feet angrily.

“What’s wrong with going to the countryside? You’d get to experience nature. Fine, I don’t have time to waste talking rubbish with you. I’m very busy. I’ll hang up now.”

“Rong Yan, you… ”

Just as Tang Chao was about to blurt out vulgarities, Rong Yan immediately ended the call and smirked sinisterly. He had always enjoyed making a fool out of everyone.

Especially that damned rascal Tang Chao.

…

Luo Anning received Rong Yan’s call in the afternoon and the latter instructed her to make dinner tonight.

Luo Anning almost slammed her mobile phone when she first heard his words. She was now being charged for suspected murder and was beyond frustrated. Yet, he actually still had the mood to get her to make dinner.

Does he want a Dark Feast!?!

Rong Yan was too used to being tyrannical. Hence, he ended the call as soon as he finished speaking and left Luo Anning alone to feel angry.

After getting the vague meaning, Auntie Li helped her onto the couch smilingly and said, “Young Madam, simmer down. Young Master Rong has been really anxious and busy with your case the past few days. It’s only right for you to make dinner for him. You’re married after all and you ought to spice up your marriage. Why don’t you prepare a candlelit dinner tonight?”

As soon as Auntie Li finished speaking, she clenched her fists and placed them in front of her chest, pretending to be mesmerized. Luo Anning could not help but feel embarrassed.

She could cook but she genuinely was not in the mood to do so. The frequent spot checks carried out by the police officers were pushing her over the edge.

Meanwhile, Rong Yan would head straight to the study after dinner every evening and whenever she asked about the progress, he would take it lightly and simply reassure her. How could she really be relieved?

She felt tightly wound up everyday…

There would be interrogations every day… she feared that she would one day develop a mental illness if it were to go on.

Auntie Li could not be bothered to care about what she was thinking. She took a look at the time and realized that it was almost time for dinner. Hence, she began to push Luo Anning into the kitchen.

Feeling intimidated by Auntie Li’s stern gaze, the head cook quickly stood by the side and helped.

Luo Anning did not leave and instead prepared some clam soup and two sets of steak perfunctorily. She then made a portion of salad and called it a day!

Staring at the three pathetic dishes on the table, of which only the steaks were considered to be a proper main, Auntie Li asked hesitantly, “Young Madam, aren’t you planning to prepare a few more dishes?”

The servants stared at the dishes worriedly while thinking to themselves, oh dear, if Young Master Rong were to see these three pathetic dishes when he came home, he would definitely hit the roof!

Young Master Rong is known to be a picky eater whose meals would often consist of more than ten dishes!

But now… Is Young Madam challenging Young Master Rong?

“No, I’m not in the mood… ” Luo Anning removed her apron and handed it to her servant. She then returned to her couch and took a seat.

Auntie Li clenched her fists tightly and had no choice but to get the head cook to prepare another meal so as to prevent Rong Yan from going hungry.

Rong Yan returned to Luxury Mansion at seven o’clock.

As soon as he entered the living room, he removed his blazer and handed it to Auntie Li who wanted to speak but could not bring herself to. He then walked towards the couch and stared at Luo Anning who seemed rather listless. “Is dinner ready?”

Luo Anning hugged her knees and murmured distractedly, “Yes… “
