Sun Li took a bite of the bacon stir-fried by Ye Ling and widened her eyes in shock. She turned to Ye Ling and asked, “Lingling, did you marinate this bacon? This should be wild boar meat. How could wild boar meat be so delicious? Let me guess, did you use a special spice to remove the earthy smell of the wild boar meat?”
Sun Li’s culinary skills were indeed superb. She immediately discovered the key. Ye Ling smiled and nodded. “Yes, I added some herbs with a special fragrance.”
Sun Li gave her a thumbs up. “Lingling, you’re really smart. Your cooking skills are much better than mine. I never knew that we have a hidden chef in our family.”
The whole family laughed. After dinner, Wan Hai packed up the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash them. Sun Li had worked hard all day. After dinner, she boiled water and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
After the water in the kitchen boiled, Ye Ling poured the water into a wooden basin and added a little cold water. After testing the temperature of the water, she put a few herbs into the wooden basin.
Ye Ling walked into Sun Li’s room with a wooden basin. She put it down and said, “Auntie Sun, I added some herbs to the water. It can relieve fatigue and promote sleep. You should rest after soaking your feet.”
Sun Li immediately smiled until the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.
“Look, it’s better to raise a daughter. She’s so considerate. How could Wan Hai and the other brats think of such details?” Auntie Sun thought.
“Alright, then you should rest early too, Lingling. You don’t have to worry about Ma Kang. With Auntie Sun around, he won’t dare to lay a finger on you.” Ye Ling smiled and nodded.
After taking a shower, Ye Ling returned to her room. After entering the small world, she inspected the herbal field and carefully selected the best herbs to make an ointment for Sun Li’s burns.
The process of making the ointment was rather complicated, and the materials in the small world were not sufficient. Ye Ling planned to go to town tomorrow to buy the remaining herbs, and it should be ready the day after tomorrow.
Ye Ling left the small world after she finished processing the herbs. She lay back on the bed and closed her eyes, falling asleep quickly.
“Ling’er…” A familiar voice called out to her, causing Ye Ling’s eyelashes to tremble. She quickly looked around and saw a man standing not far away.
The man had wide shoulders and a narrow waist. His figure was well-proportioned, and his beautiful phoenix eyes were smiling as he looked at her intently.
“Big Brother Min Nan.” Ye Ling muttered to herself before walking toward Min Nan uncontrollably.
Ye Ling subconsciously realized that she was currently in a dream. However, it wasn’t a nightmare, so she couldn’t immediately force herself to wake up. Instead, she could only go along with the dream, experiencing it as if she were a participant, all while observing what was about to unfold from a higher, almost god-like perspective.
Ye Ling walked up to Min Nan and was about to ask him why he was there. However, Min Nan suddenly reached out and touched Ye Ling’s smooth and fair chin with his fingers. Then, Min Nan’s eyes were filled with an ambiguous and gentle smile as he lifted Ye Ling’s chin slightly.
It was as if fireworks had exploded in Ye Ling’s mind. She raised her hand abruptly and slapped Min Nan’s hand away. “What are you doing?” she asked in an agitated tone.
Seeing Ye Ling’s intense reaction, Min Nan didn’t care at all. He just looked at her with tolerance and a deep look. Then, he revealed a meaningful smile and said, “Who was the one who told others that I loved her to death in the morning? Why are you so unwilling to be touched by me now?”
Ye Ling was stunned.
During the day…She had indeed said a bunch of nonsense to Ma Kang during the day, but that was only to anger him. How did Min Nan know?
Moreover, she had clearly said, “Maybe I won’t be able to make it to the end with Min Nan. But think about it. Since I can make Min Nan like me, why can’t I make other men fall in love with me? There are so many men in the world, and there are still many men I can choose from.”
“I didn’t!” Ye Ling retorted.
However, what made Ye Ling even more flustered was that Min Nan was slowly approaching her. The distance between the two of them was rapidly closing. She could even see her reflection in Min Nan’s bright eyes.
The closer she got, the more the man’s handsomeness magnified, bringing with it an extremely seductive visual impact. Ye Ling’s eyes were bewitched. Not only did she not resist the man’s approach, but she also looked forward to what was going to happen next.
She must be crazy…
Soon, their lips were almost touching.. Min Nan said in a hoarse voice, “You didn’t? Didn’t you say that you wanted to find another man? Other than me, who else do you want to find? Hmm?”
