Chapter 102: Serving food!
Many customers began to rush to Ling Shen's inn after hearing about Zhang Yuan and they also liked the food that was being served there.
Ling Shen was more than happy to welcome them as she is earning more now.
Zhang Yuan walked to a table and placed the food for the three women who were sitting there.
As he placed the plate, one woman gently clasped his hand.
"Um... Brother, when will your shift end? We are from a neighboring kingdom who came here to see the festival and tournament. Can you guide us around the place?" The woman asked a slight blush forming on her cheek.
Hearing her, the other two women giggled and added "Yes, Yes, we are new here..."
However, at this time, Zhang Fumin came there and pulled the woman's hand from Zhang Yuan "Sorry, esteemed customer... but you shouldn't waste the time of our workers by chit chatting."
Zhang Yuan smiled dryly and Zhang Fumin added "I am sure... I have seen you a lot of times in this kingdom. You are not new here..."
The woman lowered her head and Zhang Yuan walked away from there, back to the kitchen.
A young man who was in the kitchen laughed "Brother Yuan sure is popular..." He is one of the new workers appointed by Ling Shen.
Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly and saw a woman standing at the doorstep of the inn.
With a smile, Zhang Yuan walked towards Xiangli fei who just entered the inn.
"Sister Fei..."
"Brother Yuan..."
Xiangli Fei returned his smile and Zhang Fumin also noticed them.
A deep frown appeared on her face but she took a deep breath calming her anger because Xiangli Fei is a customer now.
Zhang Yuan gestured his hand "Sit here, Sister Fei."
However, Xiangli Fei smiled and spoke in a teasing tone "I heard rumors that there is a special privilege where I can get handmade food from this hot handsome man working in this inn."
"I want that, Brother Yuan. I want your handmade food."
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and replied "Go upstairs, then."
Nodding her head, Xiangli Fei walked to upstairs, and at this time, she saw Xiangli Fei at the corner of her eyes.
She showed a smile, however, Zhang Fumin glanced away with a dismissive look.
Sighing in her heart, she went upstairs and Zhang Yuan followed her.
"Ahh..."
But her heel slipped on the stairs and she fell back, but Zhang Yuan, who was behind her steadily caught her.
"Fei..."
His left arm wrapped around her waist as her back fell on the warmth of his chest and his soothing words reached her ears "Are you alright..."
Hearing a yell, Zhang Fumin hurriedly rushed there "Yuan..."
Wha- But she was dumbfounded to see Zhang Yuan holding Xiangli Fei in his arms like a lover.
Xiangli Fei's cheeks blushed deep red, feeling his arms on her waist and she turned her head, her crimson eyes gazing into his warm golden eyes.
"B-Brother Yuan..."
She grasped his shoulders and stood on the stair reigning her balance "Thank you..."
Zhang Fumin clutched her palm in anger looking at this and Zhang Yuan also felt a fierce glance from behind.
He smiled dryly and spoke "You go upstairs, I will come in a minute."
"O-Ok..."
Zhang Yuan turned and walked to Zhang Fumin, casually wrapping his hand around her shoulder "Come on, don't be angry... she was about to fall, so I helped her."
"Hmph..." She sulked her lips and glanced away in exasperation.
"Haha..."
...
Xiangli Fei was dumbfounded by the amount of food in front of her and turned her gaze to Zhang Yuan who was standing beside her "Brother Yuan... you prepared all of this?"
Zhang Yuan nodded his head "Yeah, go on..."
With a nod, Xiangli Fei reached out and began to taste the food.
She was startled by the delicious taste of the food and blinked her eyes in surprise "Brother Yuan... this is so good."
"Well, Thank you..."
At this time, Xiangli Fei remembered something and asked "By the way, brother Yuan.. our mother already knows about you."
Hm? Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow and Xiangli Fei continued "Apparently she received news that Fumin is back and you were also with her."
"From people, she heard that you are so handsome and you are Fumin's lover."
"Today... she even asked me to go and check on 'this man' and if I liked him, she asked me to woo him from Feumin."
Zhang Yuan could only sigh upon hearing this and patted her head "Now, don't think about that and eat your meal."
"En."
A little later, Zhang Yuan left the room and Xiangli Fei's gaze lingered on the retreating figure of Zhang Yuan.
Her lips curled into a sweet smile and she continued to eat her food.
...
Zhang Fumin who was standing outside the room, had a deep frown on her face as she asked "So, how was that bitch's privilege..."
Zhang Yuan just smiled and grasped her hand "Come on, don't slack off on your work.."
Zhang Fumin, held his hand, her fingers intertwining with his as she asked "Is it really ok for you to work like this, Little Brother..."
Hm? Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow "What do you mean, Big Sister..."
Zhang Fumin let out a sigh "I mean... you are a powerful person and you have a lot of money, yet you are helping Aunty Shen like this."
"Cooking and working.."
Zhang Yuan let out a light-hearted laugh because he doesn't mind working like this since this is what he craves.
These emotions, these little amounts of time working and spending with others...
This is what he truly wants, this is his luxury.
Seeing his laugh, Zhang Fumin giggled and interlocked his fingers tightly "Well, seems like you are enjoying.. hah."
"I am..."
"That's good."
Wha- The people in the inn, their jaws dropped looking at the romantic scenes and the women were burning with jealousy.
"Whyyyy? She isn't that pretty..."
"Isn't she th FIfth princess?"
"What?"
"Yeah, it is her..."
"So, she has a handsome lover now."
