Chapter 457: Eat It Or Not

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As dawn broke, the village came to life with rising smoke from the kitchens and many people already out working. At the Chu family, everyone was gathered around the table for breakfast.

Wu Yaqing hesitated before speaking, “Um… Auntie, I was thinking of taking some breakfast to that man we beat up yesterday. Is that okay?”

Li Qingyu asked, “The one you attacked yesterday?”

Wu Yaqing nodded awkwardly.

“You should indeed take care of him. There are two eggs left in the pot that I saved for him. Take them with you.”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

After breakfast, Wu Yaqing packed the meal in a food box and headed to Tang Jinghong’s house, with Hong Yujun accompanying her to apologize.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong exchanged a knowing smile. Third Master Lu’s expression would probably be even colder if he knew these two girls were the ones who exacerbated his injuries.

At Tang Jinghong’s house.

Wu Yaqing tapped lightly on the door, “I’ve brought breakfast, may I come in?”

Third Master Lu, already hungry, responded with his usual cold and slightly hoarse voice, stirring a strange emotion, “Come in.”

Wu Yaqing entered the room.

Upon entering, both women immediately apologized, “We’re sorry about last night. We thought you were a thief, and that’s why we…”

Third Master Lu, sitting up in bed, gazed over with a bland look…

He remembered being beaten unconscious by these two seemingly fragile women who were unexpectedly ruthless in their attack.

His head still throbbed from the beating, stirring a sense of indignation within him. He, Third Master Lu, had never been humiliated like this!

“Who hit me first?”

Third Master Lu was a man of retribution. He wouldn’t let go of last night’s incident easily.

Wu Yaqing, holding back Hong Yujun, took responsibility, “It was me. Yujun only came out to help because she worried about me. It wasn’t her fault.”

“Good, take responsibility for your actions.” Third Master Lu’s voice was devoid of emotion, “Come here and feed me.”

Was he treating her like a maid? But since she was the one who hit him, she decided to comply as a way of apologizing, “Fine, I’ll feed you!”

Wu Yaqing turned to Hong Yujun, “You go on with your work. I’ll handle this.”

Hong Yujun was hesitant, “But…”

“No point in both of us staying here.” Wu Yaqing interrupted, “Don’t worry, he won’t do anything to me.”

Reluctantly, Hong Yujun left, “If anything happens, run and don’t let yourself be mistreated.”

Wu Yaqing nodded in agreement, “1 will.”

Once Hong Yujun was gone, Wu Yaqing took a deep breath. The man in the room seemed difficult to deal with. Bracing herself, she re-entered the room.

Genuinely wanting to apologize, she earnestly began to feed Third Master Lu. However, he proved to be quite a handful.

“The porridge is too hot…”

“The egg is too dry…”

“This is quite good, get me two more of these later…” he commented on the sandwich.

Annoyed by his complaints, Wu Yaqing finally snapped, dropping the spoon, “Eat it or not, I’m not serving you anymore!”

Third Master Lu held his head, “I have a headache. Can you call a doctor for me?”

His furrowed brows and serious tone made it hard to tell if he was really in pain or pretending.

Wu Yaqing, recalling the scene of her beating him the night before, felt her anger subside and softened her approach, “I’ll go get the doctor right away.”

Chu Qingning was in the kitchen preparing medicine for Third Master Lu and was summoned by Wu Yaqing to the room.

Chu Qingzhi had asked Chu Qingning to handle the follow-up as a way to gain experience, calling for her only if necessary.

Chu Qingning checked Third Master Lu’s pulse, “You suffered a severe blow to the head last night. It’s normal to experience occasional headaches during recovery. Try to stay calm and avoid getting agitated. You should feel better in a few days.”

Third Master Lu politely thanked her, “Thank you, Miss.”

Chu Qingning apologized, “My sister hurt you. I’m sorry for that. We’ll take care of you until you fully recover.”

Wu Yaqing wanted to say that he was already severely injured before she beat him, but she held back, fearing it might agitate him and worsen his headache.

Chu Qingning continued to prepare the medicine in the kitchen.

Seeing Third Master Lu wrapped up in bandages, Wu Yaqing’s heart softened, “Do you still want to eat?”

Third Master Lu lay down, turning his back to Wu Yaqing, “No need, I’m not comfortable enough to eat right now. I’ll eat when I feel better in a few days.”

His words carried a hint of grievance and helplessness. Wu Yaqing, feeling guilty, offered, “I’ll feed you. I’ll be more patient this time.”

Third Master Lu turned slightly, “But you just said…”

Wu Yaqing interrupted, “I’ve never served anyone before, and you were too picky just now. I couldn’t help it…” Her voice trailed off, filled with a vague sense of guilt.

Third Master Lu, knowing when to stop, struggled to sit up, “Then I’ll have to trouble you again.”

Wu Yaqing was afraid that Third Master Lu would throw a tantrum again, so she hurriedly said, “It’s no trouble at all.”

The subsequent feeding process was still challenging due to Third Master Lu’s pickiness, but Wu Yaqing endured it. By the time she finished and left the room, her forehead was covered in sweat.

“Have I improved my temper?”

Exhaling deeply, Wu Yaqing muttered to herself as she went to wash the dishes.

Third Master Lu smiled mysteriously. This girl was quite tolerant. She did not fall out with him after being put in such a difficult position.

Tang Jinghong entered the room, asking with concern, “Have you finished your meal?”

Third Master Lu relaxed in Tang Jinghong’s presence, “I have. Where did that girl come from?” The innate nobility in her was not something common in village folk.

Tang Jinghong chuckled, “You can ask her yourself.”

Lu San looked at Tang Jinghong in surprise, his usual cold demeanor softening, “Aren’t we good brothers?”

Tang Jinghong replied, respecting Wu Yaqing’s privacy, “She’s Qingzhi’s good sister. Better to get her permission before I tell you.”

Third Master Lu was speechless.

He mockingly said, “Tang Jinghong, you’ve changed.”

Tang Jinghong was puzzled.

Third Master Lu continued, “Ever since you got engaged, you’ve neglected your brothers. Back in the capital, when we asked you to stay a day longer for a gathering, you refused, saying your fiancee was eager to return home. It hurt us.”

Tang Jinghong remained unapologetic, “You guys can continue feeling hurt.

You’ll understand when you find someone you like..”
