Chapter 879 - 121 Righteous Younger Sister
Lin Yuan had noticed the man as soon as he entered, and upon hearing his request, she approached with a smile, "Since this young master has mentioned it, then Lin Yuan shall introduce a health nourishing delicacy suitable for the young master."
"Then I must trouble you, Miss," the man said.
Mild-mannered and polite, sincere and earnest, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, her impression of him improving.
"The young master is too courteous," Lin Yuan said with a smile, sizing him up briefly. Though he smiled, there was a tiredness in his eyes, suggesting he had been traveling recently.
What surprised her more was that there seemed to be a faint sense of familiarity about the corners of the man’s eyes and brows. But Lin Yuan was certain she had never met him before. As she was about to take a closer look, the man suddenly became unsettled, his gaze flickering.
Lin Yuan paused, and upon noticing the man’s ears had turned a faint red, she couldn’t help but be amused. It was only a few moments of eye contact, and while she, a woman, wasn’t embarrassed, this grown man started to feel shy.
Suppressing the laughter in her heart, Lin Yuan asked Shopkeeper Wu to serve him a very simple "Jade Cabbage Soup."
When the dish was presented, the man was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Lin Yuan to serve him such a plain dish.
"This," the man’s eyebrows raised slightly, "Miss recommends this soup to me, is there a particular reason?"
Lin Yuan silently praised his reaction with a "brilliant." In fact, her recommendation of this dish was not just because it complemented the man’s temperament, but also carried a hint of a test. If Zhao Hongsheng had seen this dish, he probably would have taken offense by now, wouldn’t he? Wouldn’t it seem dismissive?
This man, however, despite being puzzled, was not upset and did not ask any pretentious questions. Clearly, he was truly easy-going.
