Chapter 1464 - 1459: Put an End to His Arrogance
Mu Shuangshuang carried two large bowls of noodles on a tray to Wen Nantian’s tent.
She was stopped by Wen Xiaoya, who had been waiting outside the tent for a long time.
"Wait, I want to inspect the food you brought for my father!"
Wen Xiaoya’s face didn’t look good, even a bit pale.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t need to think to know that it was definitely the fault of her secret, extremely spicy chili sauce from last night.
She deserved it!
She suffered yesterday, and today she’s here to provoke her!
"Inspect? Inspect what?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Inspect if you poisoned it!" Wen Xiaoya said through gritted teeth as she glared at Mu Shuangshuang.
"Miss Wen, either trust a person you use or don’t use a person you doubt. General Wen said at the start that he absolutely trusts me. Besides, these ingredients all came from the kitchen. Lu Daniu hasn’t handled any of it!"
Even Mu Shuangshuang found it hard to deal with such a trouble-making woman.
No wonder Fengzi refused to even invite this person inside for a meal!
Mu Shuangshuang knew Lu Yuanfeng wasn’t a petty person.
If this person had a normal heart, he would never keep someone at a distance just because of their gender.
"The ingredients might be fine, but that doesn’t guarantee you won’t poison them while cooking. I’m my father’s daughter and must ensure his safety! Open the lids in front of you!"
Wen Xiaoya commanded.
Mu Shuangshuang had covered the two bowls of noodles with wooden lids to prevent the food from cooling too quickly.
A second wasted meant the noodles would fall apart even more.
"Miss Wen, the breakfast I made can’t afford delays. If delayed, it affects appearance and taste, you..."
"Enough nonsense, open it for me!"
Wen Xiaoya raised her voice, though Mu Shuangshuang had already guessed that someone inside was pretending to be dead.
She didn’t believe that with so much commotion, Wen Nantian wouldn’t come out to see.
He must have been indulging his daughter, letting her vent this anger!
Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes suddenly flashed with cold light.
No wonder this General tossed Fengzi into the kitchen for so long for his daughter’s marriage.
This person really doesn’t separate personal matters from public affairs!
"Miss Wen, if you find it necessary to uncover the lids, then go ahead!"
Mu Shuangshuang moved the tray closer to Wen Xiaoya.
With one forceful move, Wen Xiaoya lifted the two wooden lids, revealing the noodles inside, full of color, aroma, and flavor.
Wen Xiaoya took out a silver needle, deliberately stirring it into the noodles, causing the broth to spill over, making a perfectly good bowl of noodles look incredibly unappetizing.
At this moment, Wen Xiaoya put away the silver needle, pointed at Mu Shuangshuang, and said.
"You damn fool, are you really bringing such lowly things to my father? How do you think of my father?" Wen Xiaoya raised her voice, questioning Mu Shuangshuang.
"Lowly? Does Miss Wen think noodles are lowly? Or perhaps the flour used to make noodles is lowly?" Mu Shuangshuang asked, unwilling to back down.
"I..." Perhaps she didn’t expect Mu Shuangshuang to have such a strong aura; Wen Xiaoya was momentarily speechless and only managed to speak after a long while, "I’m talking about the food’s appearance! People say a good dish must have color, aroma, and flavor. This only looks bad and doesn’t whet the appetite, are you sure it’s for the General?"
"Why it looks like this, doesn’t Miss Wen already know? Why pretend ignorance to ask me?" Mu Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Xiaoya with disdain.
"You lousy Lu Daniu, don’t make yourself shameless just because you’re the cousin of Lu Yuanfeng. Have you heard the saying?
If the younger brother makes a mistake, the older brother takes the punishment. Your actions will only cause trouble for Lu Yuanfeng!"
Wen Xiaoya said self-righteously.
Mu Shuangshuang smirked at her, "Heh!"
After that, she shouted towards the tent as if speaking to a dead person inside, "General Wen, Lu Daniu requests an audience. Your breakfast is here!"
"Are you crazy? You’re giving my father something not even pigs would eat? Be careful, or I’ll have my father punish you!"
Wen Xiaoya continued to press the issue.
Finally, Mu Shuangshuang was infuriated, "Miss Wen, do you really take the General for a fool? With all this noise, do you think he can’t hear?
He’s not coming out just to save your face, but if you insist, I believe even he won’t be willing to protect you!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s last sentence was said incredibly loudly!
She wasn’t afraid of Wen Nantian hearing it, rather afraid he wouldn’t hear.
These words reached Wen Nantian’s ears inside the tent. After consideration, he instructed his men, "Let Lu Daniu in!"
"Yes, sir!"
Outside the tent, the two people remained confrontational, neither yielding to the other.
Meanwhile, Wen Nantian’s Deputy General emerged, approaching Mu Shuangshuang, saying, "Daniu, the commander invites you inside!"
Only then did Mu Shuangshuang temporarily set aside the grudge with Wen Xiaoya and went into the tent with the two ruined bowls of noodles.
Wen Xiaoya wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Deputy General’s gaze!
Angrily stomping her foot, Wen Xiaoya left the vicinity of Wen Nantian’s tent in a huff.
Inside the tent, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t say anything, placing the two large bowls of noodles in front of Wen Nantian.
"Commander, please enjoy your meal!"
Wen Nantian looked at the dish that resembled pig slop, having no appetite at all.
But if he didn’t eat, he would have to inquire about what happened from the person in front of him.
If Lu Daniu complained about Ya’er’s misconduct, he would be caught in a dilemma, having to decide whether to address it or not.
But if he didn’t, did it mean he really had to eat this horrendous dish?
After an internal struggle, Wen Nantian finally decided to endure this hardship for his daughter.
He picked up the chopsticks with a stoic expression, but surprisingly, after the first bite, someone initially in pain broke into a smile.
He dug into the noodles again and again, until he finished the large bowl in front of him. Only then did Wen Nantian ask Mu Shuangshuang, "Daniu, why is this dish so delicious?
The noodles are both springy and tender, the broth is flavorful, and the sauce is something I’ve never tasted before!"
While praising Mu Shuangshuang, Wen Nantian couldn’t help but reach for the other bowl of noodles.
After finishing it, his belly was fully satisfied.
Yet, his satisfaction didn’t equate to Mu Shuangshuang’s!
"General Wen, I’m here to resign!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Resign? What do you mean? You don’t want to cook for me anymore?" Wen Nantian asked a series of questions.
In fact, he understood the reason in his heart but was unwilling to acknowledge it!
"It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t! I still have unfinished business in Xing City, and with the year-end approaching, I must return home before New Year’s. Otherwise, my family will worry, shed tears, and suffer from poor appetite and sleep!"
Mu Shuangshuang replied.
Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t foolish enough to mention Wen Xiaoya.
Moreover, she wanted to temper Wen Nantian’s arrogance, making him realize things don’t always go his way!
"Daniu, consider it again. Cooking here won’t be any worse than elsewhere!"
