Chapter 1497: Chapter 1496 Eating and Drinking_1 Chapter 1497: Chapter 1496 Eating and Drinking_1 “So, you mean to say that in fact you also cannot cure this strange illness?” Bei Lingsu’s brows furrowed even tighter.
Upon hearing this, Bei Yun finally looked up from his meal, and staring at Bei Lingsu, he asked with a smile, “Can all illnesses be cured?”
Bei Lingsu raised an eyebrow at his words.
No, they cannot.
For some bizarre and stubborn diseases, even the Bei family could not achieve a complete cure but only suppress it temporarily with medicine.
“Take this prescription and use it for now, it’s quite effective, as you can see. I am already forty years old, yet my body is no different from that of a normal person. If it were my ancestors, by the time they reached forty, their coffins would have already rotted away.”
“I think I can live another twenty years without problems,” Bei Yun said, his smile growing wider, “I always used to stay deep in the mountains. Cousin, now that I have acknowledged my ancestors and returned to the clan, you must let me fully enjoy the riches and pleasures of this world for the remaining twenty years.”
Bei Lingsu “…”
She couldn’t help but slap the table, “I’ve broken family rules for you, and now just being able to feed you is already quite generous.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Bei Yun quickly nodded, with an ‘anything you say is right’ demeanor. His eyes curved into crescent moons, and he continued to stuff food into his mouth with chopsticks in one hand and a spoon in the other.
Despite using both hands, he didn’t eat quickly. He savored each dish carefully, just like he had with the tea earlier, and after tasting each one, he would exclaim in wonder: “Jiwei Residence’s culinary skills are already so exquisite, then Xiaomai’s cooking must be divine.”
Bei Lingsu ignored him; she wasn’t going to engage in that topic.
With Bei Lingsu not talking, Bei Yun was quite happy eating by himself, gradually finishing off all the delicacies on the table.
By the time he had finished eating, it was already past noon, and he and Bei Lingsu had stayed at Jiwei Residence for a full two hours.
During that time, Bei Lingsu only drank tea and didn’t taste a single bite of food.
After eating his fill, Bei Yun stood up and began to pace back and forth in the private room to aid digestion, “Cousin, where shall we go next?”
“We’ll stay here at Jiwei Residence,” Bei Lingsu said with a stern face.
“Alright.” Bei Yun nodded and sat back down by the table. “I’ve heard that the storyteller of Jiwei Residence tells ‘Skyfall Love Chronicles’ in a very interesting way. How about we get the storyteller to tell us one?”
“Do as you please.”
Upon hearing this, Bei Yun grinned and promptly opened the door of the private room to call for a waiter.
The popularity of “Skyfall Love Chronicles” had already waned, and Jiwei Residence no longer had a storyteller specifically for that tale, but now that Bei Yun had requested it, the former storyteller was summoned once more.
And so, Bei Yun sat in the warm private room, cracking sunflower seeds and sipping tea, thoroughly at ease.
After listening for a short while, Xiaomai came looking for him.
She had left the Yu Residence and returned to the Qiao Residence. Now Tong Sanlang was clinging to her tightly. She went back to see Tong Sanlang first and briefly told him what had happened. It was already close to noon by then.
She prepared lunch for Yang Wenxiao, and right after eating, she immediately came to find Bei Lingsu.
Seeing Bei Lingsu’s pretty face shadowed with frost, she began defending Yang Ye. Bei Yun was such a wicked man, and as a prince of Daqi, Yang Ye had to prioritize Daqi first. With so many eyes on them at the time, he couldn’t lead by violating the Daqi Laws.
Moreover, he was worried about Yang Wenxiao at the time, so his tone might have sounded harsh, but his firmness was directed at Bei Yun, definitely not at Bei Lingsu.
“You are Daqi’s most honored guest. Rest assured, he will definitely come to you to apologize,” Xiaomai concluded.
