I Gave Birth to a Cub without Telling the Head Assistant - Chapter 17.2

Chapter 17.2
There had never been a woman in this world who dared to be so presumptuous in front of him!
Li Zhulin was furious and even a little at a loss. His face was getting redder and redder, and he didn’t know how to react.
At this time, a smooth, fragrant, strong, and delicious taste exploded from the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, sliding down his throat and into his stomach. The hot soup seemed to have an energy that warmed his heart, making his limbs feel numb.
“How is it? Does it taste good?”
The woman blinked her bright eyes; her long black feather-like eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyes. Her tone was very content as if she were waiting for his reply.
‘This woman… does she have a wish to die! ’
He repeatedly rejected her, but it seemed this woman’s face was thicker than the city wall!
Li Zhulin savored the aftertaste on his tongue, and he couldn’t say it tasted bad against his will.
But he could never directly praise the soup that was forced into his mouth.
He was worried about what other actions she might take, so he stood up from the table, took a step back slightly, took some distance from her, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped away some of the soup on his lips.
“Presumptuous!” he said coldly.
Ordinary people should be able to understand the meaning, right? But she didn’t seem to hear it. She didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she smiled happily and asked, “I mean, it doesn’t taste bad, right? The young master’s taste is even more sophisticated than that of Mr. Ge. If I make other soups next time, I will send them to the young master in advance to taste them.”
‘Next time? Why was she suddenly so warm to me? Just want to find a teacher for her brother?’ Li Zhulin frowned and turned his thumb with his hands behind his back. “No, I am not greedy for food and drink. Boss Ruan can just put these thoughts on Mr. Zhou Ge.”
“Oh, the young master didn’t like delicious food before? Maybe because the young master didn’t find a suitable cook.” Ruan Longling smiled and took a big step forward, then handed the warm soup bowl to his hand, raised her head, and smiled sweetly at him. “Maybe after trying my craftsmanship, you’ll become addicted to it; who knows?”
The woman suddenly came closer; her smiling eyes were curved, her cheeks were slightly sunken into two pear dimples, and her light brown pupils were shining with dazzling light under the setting sun.
The man’s fingers holding the soup bowl suddenly tightened, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyes became more reserved as he looked at her.
“The young master is busy with things, so Longling won’t bother you anymore. I will visit you again someday with my fifth brother.”
After saying that, she bent her knees slightly, nodded with a smile, made a polite blessing with some playful gestures, and then turned around and left.
Li Zhulin watched helplessly as the green figure walked down the steps with her skirt in hand, crossed the corridor, and disappeared under the arched moon door.
But her influence had not disappeared.
The writing on the Buddhist scriptures trembled slightly due to her appearance, the body fragrance of ripe peaches that seemed to be floating around the body, and this bowl of fragrant soup on his fingertips.
He picked up the porcelain spoon and scooped up the soup, and the words she said to him inexplicably appeared in his mind: “I left you a cup of lotus root, white jade vegetable, and dragon bone soup. I made it myself.”
