Chapter 488: Saving the Jealous School Prince 43
"What reply?" Mr. Ling was very puzzled.
"That's it..." Wen Yang was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by a burst of rapid coughing from the side.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the cough.
Seeing Ling Yi coughing non-stop, Elder Ling hurried to Ling Yi's side, gently patted Ling Yi's back, and asked with concern: "Xiao Yi, why did you suddenly choke?"
"Wang Fang, go get Xiao Yi a glass of water."
When Wang Fang heard the order, she immediately prepared to pour water.
However, Wang Fang had just taken a step when she heard Ling Yi's hoarse voice after a cough: "Aunt Fang, no need, my throat was just a little itchy, but it's all better now."
"Okay, okay, that's good." After hearing Ling Yi say that everything was fine, Old Ling felt relieved.
"By the way, Aunt Fang, when can we eat? I feel a little hungry now." Ling Yi changed the subject without leaving a trace.
However, the sharp-minded Wang Fang still noticed something unusual.
Before, apart from helping to take care of Mr. Ling's empty villa, the rest of her job was to take care of the two children, Ling Yi and Ling Yin.
It can be said that Ling Yi was the child who grew up under her care.
From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time she heard Ling Yi tell her that he was hungry.
So Ling Yi must have had another reason for saying this. Perhaps it was just to divert the topic of "replying to the letter"...
After Wang Fang had this guess in her mind, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was very reasonable.
But she didn't expose him. Instead, she put on a friendly smile and followed up on Ling Yi's words, "Since you're hungry, let's eat right away. I had almost prepared the dishes before you came, and they're all warming up in the kitchen. You guys go sit at the dining table for a while, and I'll serve the dishes right away."
"Aunt Fang, you've worked hard." Ling Yi nodded politely.
Wang Fang waved her hand and went into the kitchen.
Being interrupted like this, Mr. Ling forgot the topic he was talking about. He turned around and smiled warmly, then said to Wen Yang, "Son, go sit at the dining table first. It's getting late now, and it's time to eat."
Hearing what Mr. Ling said, Wen Yang nodded obediently.
Then, several people walked towards the dining table.
After a while, Aunt Fang and two young servants came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. Soon, the dining table was filled with exquisite dishes.
As the steam from the dish rises, the tempting aroma it carries also spreads.
After Wang Fang placed the last sweet soup on the table, she smiled and said to Wen Yang, "Wen Yang, this is your first time here, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I made all my specialties. I hope there's something here that suits your taste."
Wen Yang looked at the carefully prepared meal, feeling touched. She looked up at Wang Fang and spoke sincerely, "Aunt Fang, you're so kind! These dishes you prepared with so much care look so delicious! I'm sure I'll love every one of them!"
Elder Ling watched Wen Yang being so polite and a gratified smile appeared on his face. He made an inviting gesture towards Wen Yang and said, "Xiao Wen, in that case, you should try Aunt Fang's cooking while it's still hot. Don't let down these dishes she prepared with all her heart."
Hearing what Elder Ling said, Wen Yang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, Grandpa, I'm a junior, how can I pick up my chopsticks first? You should go first."
In response to Wen Yang's politeness, Elder Ling smiled nonchalantly, "Today, let's not talk about those red tapes and just have fun. You don't have to be restrained, just be casual. When my granddaughter was here, I also let her pick up her chopsticks first, so feel free to pick up your chopsticks. If you don't, then I won't pick up my chopsticks either."
Wen Yang wanted to refuse again, but after hearing what Mr. Ling said, she hesitated for a while, and was finally moved by Mr. Ling's kindness. She nodded gently, "Grandpa, in that case, I will respectfully obey your command." After that, she picked up a boiled prawn in front of her.
Seeing this, Elder Ling laughed heartily, "Okay, okay, that's how it should be." After that, she turned to look at Ling Yi, "Xiao Yi, didn't you just say you were hungry? Come and eat too."
Ling Yi came back to his senses after hearing what Old Ling said. After he sat down at the table, his attention was focused on Wen Yang and he forgot that he had said he was hungry.
He smiled faintly and said to Ling Lao: "I am waiting for your order before starting."
"You kid, I've never seen you listen to me like this before." Old Ling said with a smile and some anger.
"I asked you to meet my old friend's granddaughter before, but you refused to go."
When Elder Ling mentioned this, he seemed to have opened up a flood of conversation. He sighed heavily and said, "Alas, my old friend's granddaughter is about your age and very pretty. Unfortunately, she's already found a good partner and they're in a great relationship. They're both studying abroad together."
Ling Yi showed no regret at the news. He picked up a shrimp and put it in his bowl. He said calmly, "I'm busy with school. How can I have time to play love games with your friend's granddaughter?"
Ling Yi still answered with the same excuse that hadn't changed for thousands of years, but this time, Old Ling became a little suspicious.
His eyes darted back and forth over Wen Yang several times, and suddenly a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said to Wen Yang, "Wen Yang, do you have a boyfriend in college? If not, there's an old friend of mine whose grandson is still single. How about I introduce him to you?"
Ling Yi was about to put the shrimp in his mouth, but when he heard what Ling Lao said, the shrimp on his chopsticks fell back into the bowl with a "click"...
