Chapter 298

His whole body froze on the spot, afraid to make a move.

He dared not turn around to look at Miss Shi behind him.

Miss Shi's expression must be absolutely terrifying right now...

"I'm glad you're alright. It's my fault. I shouldn't have suddenly appeared in front of you."

"Why don't you go downstairs and calm down first? What do you think?"

Yao Qing gently patted Xiao Ai's head.

He silently shielded the other person behind him, then turned around to look at Yao Shi, who had her head down.

"But... it's because of this..."

"Xiao Ai, you can go down now. It's nothing serious. We can just redo it."

"Your mind is in turmoil; go and calm yourself down first."

Milutin had somehow walked up to Yao Qing from behind.

Looking at Xiao Ai, whose face was completely drained of color, Milutin smiled slightly.

"I... I understand..."

Xiao Ai calmed down a bit after seeing the smile on Milutin's face.

She bowed somewhat awkwardly to Yao Qing, then lifted her skirt and slowly moved away from the place.

But after taking only a few steps, Xiao Ai hurriedly turned around and bowed deeply to Yao Shi.

"Miss Shi Yaoshi, I am truly very sorry."

Xiao Ai lowered her head tightly, not daring to look up.

She knew that what was happening now was a huge blow to Miss Shi Yaoshi.

The results of a whole day's hard work were suddenly shattered; anyone would be devastated by that.

"Xiao Ai, go and rest first, it's alright."

Seeing this, Wu Liang waved to Xiao Ai, signaling her not to take it to heart.

"Yes..."

Xiao Ai bit her lip, lowered her head, and shook her head with a dejected expression.

Although no one blamed her... she had indeed made an irreparable mistake...

.

After seeing Xiao Ai leave in a daze.

Milutin turned her gaze back to Yao Shi in front of her.

The other person was looking down and not saying a word.

The stray hairs on her forehead obscured her face, making it difficult to see her facial expression.

"Yao Shi... um... how about we prepare another one for the young master?"

Milutin swallowed hard, stammering as he spoke.

The less Yao Shi reacted, the more flustered she became.

If the other party were to fly into a rage and hurl insults at her, Yao Qing wouldn't think it was a big deal.

However, Yao Shi remained completely silent, standing rooted to the spot like a stone.

This made her feel a little scared.

The more silent Yao Shi becomes, the more serious the consequences will be.

"Yao Shi, I feel very sorry."

"I apologize for not noticing the maid."

Yao Qing touched her nose and turned her head to one side somewhat awkwardly.

He'd messed up; he knew very well that he'd really messed up this time.

He really hurt Yao Shi this time.

"Yao Qing, say less."

Milutin slapped Yao Qing's hand.

At this point, Yao Qing, you idiot, should stop talking.

If it weren't for his sudden appearance, Xiao Ai wouldn't have fallen.

Moreover, Yao Shi is definitely angry right now, so it's best for Yao Qing to say less.

"..."

Yao Qing shrugged and then shut her mouth, no longer making a sound.

This time, Yao Shi has completely offended everyone, inside and outside the family.

This is troublesome. I need to think of how to apologize to Yao Shi.

"It's alright, I'll prepare something new for the young master."

Yao Shi, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly raised her head.

His cold face showed not a trace of emotion.

There wasn't a trace of anger in his cold, dark eyes.

The soup she prepared for the young master has spilled.

The successful product, which took a whole day to figure out, was completely spilled, not a single drop was left.

Ah, it's really no big deal, we can just make a new one.

Yes, that's right, just make a new one.

Anyway, she has already mastered the steps and dosage, so she won't fail again.

"Just make a new one."

His empty eyes were lifeless.

Yao Shi murmured softly, making a move to walk towards the kitchen.

"Yao Shi..."

Milutin stared at Yao Shi's face with a complicated expression.

She didn't know what to say to Yao Shi at this moment.

Because she knew that whatever she said now would be useless.

Yao Shi's initial excitement and joy shattered the moment the clay pot broke.

No matter how much she tried to Yao Shi, it was to no avail.

Yao Shi so desperately wanted the young master to drink the fragrant soup she had personally prepared, but the result was...

"It's alright, Milutin, you guys eat first, I'll be there in a bit."

Yao Shi twisted her stiff neck and shook her head.

He turned around and walked straight into the kitchen.

But this emptiness in her heart made her feel strangely lost.

It felt as if countless silver needles were piercing her heart.

"Hmm? Doesn't it smell pretty good? Yao Shi, how did you do that?"

"This doesn't seem like something you could achieve on your second attempt at cooking. How long have you been secretly practicing behind my back?"

The sudden sound from behind pulled Yao Shi back to reality.

Following the sound, Yao Shi's listless eyes immediately refocused.

"Young... Young Master..."

Yao Shi covered her mouth and stared at Wu Liang with wide eyes.

Wu Liang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, picking up the fragments of the casserole and carefully savoring the remaining broth on top.

"Well, it's a bit of a shame that most of the soup was spilled, but there's still some drinkable stuff, isn't there?"

Wu Liang picked up the largest piece of the clay pot shard and held it in the air.

There was still quite a bit of broth in the fragments, at least half a bowlful.

"Young master, what is that broth made of...?"

Yao Qing frowned as she stared at the shards of the casserole in Wu Liang's hand.

He just saw the young master with his own eyes...

"Young master! How could you drink soup that has been spilled on the floor?"

Once she came to her senses, Yao Shi hurriedly ran to Wu Liang's side.

How could the young master disregard his own image and drink soup spilled on the ground?

"Look, the soup is still sitting perfectly fine inside."

"Besides, the soup really does taste very tempting. What, you don't even want me to drink this one and only soup that's drinkable?"

Wu Liang held up the fragments of soup in his hand.

Seeing the expression on Yao Shi's face—a mixture of wanting to stop her and hesitating—he chuckled softly.

"No... I'm not saying you can't drink, young master... it's just..."

Yao Shi was so stunned by Wu Liang's words that she couldn't utter a single word.

What the young master was holding was indeed the only edible bone broth available at the moment.

She also hoped that the young master would taste it and give her a satisfactory answer.

But... it's something that fell to the ground...

Seeing Yao Shi's slightly wavering expression, Wu Liang shrugged.

Then, to Yao Shi's astonishment, he drank the soup contained in the fragment in one gulp.

"Huh? How did you do that? This is so different from the food you made for me before."

The moment the broth touched my lips, I could taste the rich aroma of the pork bones and the sweet flavor of the carrots.

Although the temperature had cooled down a bit, the taste was still absolutely delicious.

This is from a completely different world from the Starry Sky Gazing Yao Shi created last time.

This kind of progress can be described as a meteoric rise.

"However, I have a small suggestion: there are too many carrots in this soup, and the overly sweet aroma masks the deliciousness of the pork bones."

"But overall..."

Wu Liang slowly got up and patted off non-existent dust from his body.

He placed his hands on Yao Shi's shoulders and looked at her with Yao Shi.

"Young master, please speak..."

Yao Shi tensed up, raised her small face, and looked at Wu Liang in front of her with sparkling eyes.

The two of them were now only a few centimeters apart.

She could now clearly feel the young master's breath.

"It's delicious, I really like it."

A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his serious face.

Wu Liang gave Yao Shi a thumbs up.
