Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots

Zhao Hongde wanted to explain, but he didn’t know how to begin.

Seeing his embarrassed yet anxious demeanor, Xia Zheng couldn’t help but laugh as he teased with his arm around Lin Yuan’s, "What did I tell you, he’s just like a Little White Rabbit, isn’t he adorable?"

Lin Yuan pursed her lips. Even Zhao Hongsheng, that big bad wolf, had his temper smoothed over by him, let alone the honest and straightforward Zhao Hongde. Fortunately, Zhao Hongde wasn’t his enemy; otherwise, wouldn’t he be bullied into crying every day?

Zhao Hongde realized he was hopeless against this Xia Zheng, sighed powerlessly, and asked weakly, "Is Second Brother also in Yecheng?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I have called you here?" Xia Zheng snorted. "You guys settle your own issues; don’t disturb our peaceful little life."

Zhao Hongde chuckled. A peaceful little life, huh? If the second son of the General Mansion could content himself with a quiet life, he’d probably cause all the daughters of the Capital city’s nobility to drop their jaws in shock!

"Hey, don’t change the subject!" Xia Zheng rubbed Lin Yuan’s soft hand and raised an eyebrow at Zhao Hongde: "You’ve come all this way, shouldn’t you offer something to your future sister-in-law? Just talking won’t show any sincerity, right?"

What does he mean by ’right’? Who asks for gifts to their face like this?

Lin Yuan’s cheeks reddened, and she quickly pinched him, whispering, "Not true! Don’t talk nonsense!"

Xia Zheng grimaced in pain but kept a straight face as he continued, "Don’t be shy, don’t be shy. After all, you do call him cousin. With such a good opportunity, how can you not ask for more goodies? Don’t worry, don’t worry, Cousin is very generous and besides, ow, even without me mentioning it, Cousin would give a gift himself, right, Cousin?"

Enduring Lin Yuan’s fatal Eighteen Pinches, Xia Zheng finally finished his speech, and did not forget to give Zhao Hongde a suggestive glance, a threat utterly lacking in intimidation, which amused Zhao Hongsheng greatly.
