Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots

Lao Fan shook his head, his voice carrying a few traces of despondency, and gave a bitter laugh, "Let’s talk about fun later. What I need to tell you is that I left the house in disguise that day, but when I returned home, I still felt someone was following me. I was a bit puzzled, but when I looked back, I only saw Yao Mansion’s carriage. Since Yao Mansion is right across from us, I thought maybe Miss Yao just happened to be going home, so I didn’t give it much thought. But these past few days, the more I think about it, the more I feel something’s not right. Perhaps my identity has already been exposed."

Pausing, Lao Fan continued, "Now that Xia Zheng, that stinky boy, has gone to the frontier, I feel even more uneasy. I simply took this opportunity to expose my identity, and then I moved into the General Mansion. I do not believe that those people would dare to mess with the General Mansion."

Move away? Lin Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. These past two years, although their interactions with Lao Fan had been nothing but arguments and mutual derogation, it was undeniable that these days together had been joyful; they’d already become like a family. Not to mention the gratitude Lao Fan held towards Lady Xin Liu of Lin family and the mentor-apprentice relationship with Xiao Linshuang.

Although it was hard to let go, Lin Yuan also knew that she wasn’t capable of protecting this lovable yet sometimes annoying old man if he continued to stay at Lin Mansion.

Lin Yuan had a million reluctant words to say, but when she raised her head to speak, she saw Lao Fan, who had just been downcast, suddenly brightening his eyes and cheerfully approaching her, his mustache curling high up with a smile.

"Did you just say that I can come to play anytime? Is that true? Can I play with those beautiful things too? Last time I came, I was afraid you’d discover I touched many things; oh, you have no idea, after going back home, I was so frustrated for many days thinking about coming back to see, but that old man Liu wouldn’t let me go to the third floor again! It really infuriated me!"

Lin Yuan was almost infuriated herself. They had just been discussing life and death, so how could he suddenly change his demeanor? Was all her worry superfluous?

"Hey? What are you thinking? Can I or can’t I? If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as you agree! Then I’m going!"
