Adorable Food Goddess - Chapter 134

Chapter 134

Ye Jiayao used all her strength to pull the heavy kid up .

Helian Jing looked like a dying fish . He would’ve been fine as he only choked on the water for a few seconds, but when he felt himself grab something that he shouldn’t have, he inhaled more water in his frightened gasp .

“Spit the water out . . . ” Ye Jiayao turned Little Jing around and used her knee to knock his stomach as she slapped his back . She prayed that nothing serious would happen to Little Jing because Helian Xuan would kill her otherwise .

Little Jing spat the water out and started to cough .

Ye Jiayao was relieved . Some birthday . . .

“You’re okay, don’t worry . Drink some ginger soup when you get home and you’ll be just fine,” Ye Jiayao comforted .

Little Jing stared at Yaoyao, his mind still stuck on a certain body part that he felt that shouldn’t have been there .

She thought that his daze look was just because of the fright he got so she said, “Sit here while I go get the puppies . ”

Ye Jiayao jumped into the water again and grabbed the basket and swam back . Luckily, the water didn’t get into the basket or the puppies would be in danger . Puppies this young and weak wouldn’t be able to swim yet .

After she saved the puppies, she suddenly remembered the jade that was still in the boat . It was an heirloom for Little Jing and it would be bad to lose it .

By the time she found the jade and came back to the river bank, she was exhausted . In her previous life, she could’ve easily swum a few thousand meters, but in this body, she lacked exercise .

She panted heavily and handed the jade haphazardly to Little Jing . “Here . Don’t lose it . ”

Helian Jing didn’t make a move to take the jade and just continued to stare at her .

The wet clothes stuck to her body and it showed a silhouette of breasts . Even though he really hasn’t seen a woman’s body before, he could feel the difference regardless of the layers of the clothes .

Helian Jing didn’t know what to do or say so he got up and ran away .

Ye Jiayao stared after him . Errm?

She rolled onto her back, shaking her head . She’d just return the jade to Little Jing another time . Musing, she found out that this Qin Huai River brings her bad fortune . Every time she came here, something bad happened . From now on, she needed to stay away from here .

Wait . She still has to come back the day after tomorrow to see Chunyu’s old lover, Liu Yiyi . If she finds out that he was still talking to that woman, he’d regret it .

Come to think of it, didn’t Chunyu also had a lover called Qin Liu before? What was it with him and women with the character ‘Liu’?

Ye Jiayao, in a terrible mood, got up and took the basket to trudge back home .

In the Helian Mansion, Ping An was shocked to see Young Royal Highness Jing come back looking like a drowned rat .

“Young Royal Highness Jing, what happened?”

“Bring me clean clothes and get a bowl of ginger soup . Hurry up . ”

“Okay…”

Ping An hurriedly brought him a towel, a change of clothes, and asked someone to cook ginger soup .

Helian Jing changed his clothes and sat cross-legged on the couch, meditating for while . After he was done, he waved Ping An over .

“Young Royal Highness, what do you need?”

“Ping An, why would any guy need to cover his chest with a cloth?”

“Maybe he’s wounded?” Ping An inferred .

Helian Jing shook his head . Yaoyao didn’t look like he was wounded . He squinted at Ping An, his eyes focused on the latter’s chest area .

Ping An felt goosebumps cover his body . Frightened, he inquired, “Young Royal Highness, what . . . what do you want?”

“Find a strip of cloth to cover your chest . ”

“Why? Young Royal Highness, I am not a woman,” Ping An protested, almost screaming . What was wrong with his master?

Helian Jing tensed .

Woman?

“Hurry up! Do what I said,” Helian Jing demanded urgently .

Ping An cried out in fear and went looking for a strip of cloth .

When Ping An came back, Helian Jing glowered at him . “Don’t you have any brains? Is that how you do it?”

Ping An wrapped the cloth around his chest and on top of his clothes . He looked ridiculous .

“How should I do it?” Ping An exclaimed .

Helian Jing shook his head in impatience . “Come, let me touch it . ”

Ping An wanted to run away and hide . He covered his chest with two hands, looking like he was a lamb up for slaughter . “Young Royal Highness, I have served you well, please let me go .

Young Royal Highness must have learned bad things from hanging out with Zhao Qixuan .

“Why are you crying?”

“Young Royal Highness, my parents only have one son…”

Little Jing frowned . “I’m not going to kill you . I just want to feel it . Come . ”

Ping An continued to cry .

“Don’t cry . One touch, one silver,” Helian Jing offered .

Ping An stopped crying and looked at Helian Jing eagerly . “Add 500 copper coins, too . ”

Helian Jing didn’t know whether to laugh or get angry . “Fine . ”

Helian Jing felt around his wrapped chest . Ping An counted in his head, once, twice . . .

It was different as expected . Little Jing let out a long breath . He felt a surge of happiness that lifted away all the heaviness in his heart .

Yaoyao’s a girl!

Thank the heavens!

Helian Jing laughed and rolled on the couch . Although he was prepared to be with Yaoyao even if that meant being gay, he was still troubled by how his family would react . Now, there was no need . Everything was all great!

Yaoyao smelled nice and felt soft because she’s a girl!

This is fantastic!

Helian Jing kept rolling on the couch, laughing hysterically .

Ping An was speechless . Young Royal Highness Jing has gone crazy .

“I . . . I will call Elder Princess,” Ping An declared, wanting to get away from his master .

“No, no, come back,” Helian Jing called, halting his laughter .

Ping An hedged, “Young Royal Highness, are you sick?”

“I’m not sick . In fact, I’ve never been better . ” He tossed five silvers to Ping An and said, “This is yours . Keep the change . ”

Ping An counted the silvers and complained, “Young Royal Highness, you touched me four times so there should be six silvers here . I need one more . ”

Helian Jing stared at him and Ping An ran away immediately .

If Zhao Qixuan and the others find out that Yaoyao was a girl, what would they think? He could just imagine the shock on their faces! Ha! And if Brother Chunyu finds out that . . . Oh .

Brother Chunyu must’ve already known that Yaoyao was a girl!

Helian Jing suddenly felt torn . There was no denying that Brother Chunyu was better than him, but he was set to marry Liu Li . Would Yaoyao just become his mistress? That couldn’t be! Liu Li would just bully Yaoyao . No . Absolutely not . For Yaoyao’s happiness, he couldn’t let her become a concubine .

Helian Jing must take Yaoyao away .

Meanwhile, Ye Jiayao was feeling sad and ill .

She caught a cold when she jumped at the cold river last night . The ginger soup wasn’t able to easily get rid of the cold air inside her body .

Regardless, Ye Jiayao still headed to Heavenly Residence to work even if she was feeling extremely dizzy .

Zhong Xiang was worried at how terrible Brother Yao looked . “Li Yao, go see a doctor and get some medicine . I can take care of things here . ”

“He’s right, Brother Yao . You can’t work like this,” Deng Haichuan seconded .

Cui Dongpeng brought him some warm tea . “Go rest at home . ”

Ye Jiayao wanted to cry at the brother’s concern for her health . She sniffled and said, “I’m okay . I just caught the flu . I’ll be fine in two days . ”

She was forced to stop talking when she sneezed . “But, I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to cook . Brother Xiang, you will be busy . You’re responsible for the banquet in the compartments . ”

They all knew the recipes for the new dishes she created and Zhong Xiang has picked up on her lessons very well . Most people couldn’t even taste the difference .

“No problem,” Zhong Xiang assured .

Ye Jiayao stayed at the restaurant until afternoon . When she began feeling hot, everyone pushed her out of the kitchen and told her to go home and rest .

Jiang Li found a doctor for her .

“My mother said that it would be better if you sweat it out,” Jiang Yue said as she watched Ye Jiayao drink the medicine .

Ye Jiayao asked with a stuffy nose, “How are Little Ji and Little Rui?”

“They get along just fine with the little rabbits . I gave them the milk that you brought back and they drank a lot of it,” Jiang Yue answered with a smile .

“I’m afraid I will trouble you in these next few days,” Ye Jiayao said apologetically .

“No worries! I really like them . Even my brother likes them and has already made them a nest!

Pleased, Ye Jiayao fell asleep .

She slept for quite a long time . At one time, she felt someone come in her room, sit by the bed, and speak to her . She wanted to open her eyes but she was just too tired and groggy .

When she fully woke up, the room had already been lighted . She looked at the clock and found that it was already midnight .

Jiang Yue was sleeping on her bedside .

Ye Jiayao was very thirsty so she got up to get some water . However, before she could get out of the bed, Jiang Yue woke up .

“Sister Yaoyao? Do you want a drink? Lie down and I will get it for you . ” Jiang Yue rubbed the sleep from her eyes and proceeded to pour a glass of water for her .

“Yue-er, have you been taking care of me?” Ye Jiayao asked, embarrassed .

“I have nothing else to do and it is not tiring anyway . Oh . By the way, Young Royal Highness Jing came here . He knew that you were sick so he got you a doctor . My brother told him that you already had seen a doctor but the Young Royal Highness said that he still wanted a doctor that he trusts to check up on you . He also sent you a bunch of medicinal products . I saw ginseng and bird-nest . . . ”

So the person she saw while she was dreaming was Little Jing?

Well, that was just right . She got sick because of him!

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Ye Jiayao .

She checked her body and touched her chest . She was lucky that she was too tired to get dressed last night . Her identity would definitely have been compromised if anyone else saw her in a girl’s clothes .

Jiang Yue, correctly guessing her thoughts, assured her, “Sister Yaoyao, don’t worry . Young Royal Highness Jing didn’t come to the room . Only the doctor came and measured your heartbeat . I was looking the whole time . ”

So Little Jing didn’t come to my room? Who was the one speaking to me, then?
