Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After wrangling with a certain man with some difficulty, she finally returned to the villa. Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. There were many rooms in the villa, and she found a random bedroom to stay in.

As for her and Qi Zhenbai, her head hurt, and she didn’t want to think about it now. She would think about it in a few days. Moreover, she realized tonight that she seemed to have never really understood that man.

Chi Shuyan was about to turn off her phone and put it next to the bed, when it suddenly rang.

Chi Shuyan casually glanced at the screen.

Sure enough!

The call was from Qi Zhenbai. Chi Shuyan thought of how he had directly blown up her phone when she hadn’t picked up before. She didn’t dare ignore his call.

As soon as the call connected, the man’s deep and magnetic voice rang out. “Wife, I miss you!”

The man’s voice was even deeper than before. Chi Shuyan’s heart was subconsciously about to soften, but at the thought of the possibility of the two of them getting together again, she immediately quashed the idea. After hearing this, she hung up without thinking and turned off her phone before throwing it next to the bed.

She got out of bed, took a shower, and then went back to sleep.

She didn’t sleep well. In her dream, she felt a pair of eyes staring fixedly at her, which was terrifying.

Chi Shuyan woke up at 6:30am.

Unable to sleep, Chi Shuyan checked the spirit herbs she was cultivating in her Cosmos Ring and then meditated. She only went downstairs at 7:10am.

When Chi Shuyan went downstairs, Chef Li had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Chef Li had only found out last night that Miss Shuyan had returned to the villa.

......

He had come back late with the two little guys. When he came back, the light in Miss Shuyan’s room was already off, so he didn’t disturb her.

Breakfast was prepared early in the morning. Chef Li looked at Miss Shuyan in surprise and called out, “Miss Shuyan!”

When he thought of Miss Shuyan and that Qi family member in the private room last night, Chef Li very much suspected that they had quarreled. Didn’t Miss Shuyan usually stay with that Qi family member? Why had she suddenly returned to the villa? Wasn’t it because she had quarreled with that Qi family member?

There was some worry in Chef Li’s eyes, but he didn’t really understand personal feelings. He couldn’t help but ask carefully, “Miss Shuyan, did you quarrel with Young Master Qi?”

Chi Shuyan didn’t want to spoil the mood early in the morning by bringing up Qi Zhenbai, but she appreciated Chef Li’s concern. She didn’t tell him the truth. “We’re fine, Chef Li, don’t worry. By the way, where are the two little guys?”

As ghosts, they didn’t sleep, nor did they need to sleep or get tired. However, Chef Li subconsciously still treated them as kids and was used to getting them to take breaks.

Playing during the day and resting at night was also better for ghosts.

Chef Li said, “Miss Shuyan, the Ninth Prince and Xiao Yu are still resting. However, if they know that you’re staying at the villa, they’ll definitely be very happy!”

Chi Shuyan was quite satisfied with how Chef Li got the two little guys to take a break. She also felt that it was good. She nodded and said, “Okay. By the way, Chef Li, you’re still busy with Imperial Restaurant. You don’t have to worry about me, and can leave first!”

Chef Li’s restaurant wasn’t like Chi Shuyan’s class, where she just needed to show up on time. The restaurant usually had a lot of customers, and was quite busy in the morning. Chef Li usually went to the restaurant very early in the morning. Chi Shuyan looked at the time and felt that if he hadn’t been waiting for her this morning, he would have left long ago.

She didn’t want her return to the villa to hold things up for him at the restaurant, so she said, “If I stay in the villa in the future, you can just prepare breakfast. If it’s cold, I’ll heat it up myself. Chef Li, don’t worry, just focus on the restaurant!”

Chef Li, on the other hand, looked guilty. Chi Shuyan could tell what he was thinking. “There’s no need to think too much. Chef Li, I know why you wanted to open a restaurant in front of my school. In any case, it’s very convenient for me and pretty good.”

Chi Shuyan then thought of something and said, “By the way, when the restaurant has to settle accounts, give me the bills and income receipts first.”

Of course, she didn’t covet Chef Li’s money. Firstly, she wanted to see if he was being taken advantage of. Secondly, human paper money was useless to Chef Li and the two brats.

She planned to use the profits to buy medicinal herbs for Chef Li and the others, and refine some pills that were useful for ghosts.

When Chi Shuyan told Chef Li what she was thinking, he was wild with joy and excitement.

If Chef Li had been willing to open a restaurant before because he was interested in cooking and felt a sense of accomplishment, he was now really motivated to make money.

“It’s too early to be happy, Chef Li. You should know the cost of herbs nowadays. An aged herb isn’t cheap, so work hard to make money!” Chi Shuyan encouraged him.

Chef Li nodded excitedly. “Miss Shuyan, I’ll definitely work hard! I’ll go to the restaurant now!”

Chi Shuyan nodded and didn’t stop Chef Li. She suddenly thought of something and called out, “There’s no need to listen to Qi Zhenbai’s instructions in the future. You’re too respectful toward him!”

Chef Li was on her side, so why should he be respectful toward that man? It was fine in the past, but she planned to cut ties with Qi Zhenbai now. There was no need to be too respectful.

Of course, what she meant was that if that man wasted Chef Li’s cooking again in the future, Chef Li didn’t have to trouble himself to cook another table full of dishes.

Chef Li was uncharacteristically serious. “Miss Shuyan, Young Master Qi is very noble and extraordinary. In ancient times, he would have been born to be an emperor; it would only be right for me to kneel to him. Besides, Young Master Qi was the one who funded the restaurant! So, no matter what, I have to be respectful toward Young Master Qi!”

Chi Shuyan: …
