"Mr. Ye! What are your instructions?"
Not long after Ye Ming left the room, a slightly plump middle-aged man in a formal suit, with a smile of enthusiasm, hurried over.
"Who are you?"
Ye Ming was momentarily stunned, as he had no information about this man in his memory.
"Mr. Ye! I am Natori Shuichi, the general manager of Yue Ting. Please tell me if you need anything," Natori Shuichi said respectfully.
The news of Ye Ming's stay here had not been deliberately hidden by Kimura Keno. On the contrary, he had specifically asked all staff at Yue Ting to remember his appearance clearly.
This was to prevent any offense to him.
"It's like this, I'd like to borrow your restaurant's kitchen. I wonder if Mr. Natori can help?" Ye Ming asked with a smile.
"The kitchen?"
Hearing this, Natori Shuichi was clearly taken aback. He was puzzled as to why the other party would want to borrow such a place.
However, he quickly recovered.
"Of course, there's no problem! Mr. Ye..." Natori Shuichi said with some trepidation, "Is it that our restaurant's dishes don't suit your taste, and you need to cook yourself? If that's the case, I can summon the head chefs from other restaurants to prepare meals according to your personal preferences, for..."
At this moment, Natori Shuichi was truly panicking.
After all, the live broadcast time was only two to three hours away.
If their restaurant's cuisine displeased Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.
Given the current influence of the live broadcast room, any negative impact on Yue Ting would be magnified infinitely. In the end, Yue Ting might even go out of business because of it.
Seeing the man's nervous expression, Ye Ming guessed that Natori Shuichi had overthought things.
"Mr. Natori, please rest assured. I have no dissatisfaction with Yue Ting. It's just that it's still early, and I want to find something to pass the time!" Ye Ming explained with a smile, without revealing the specific reason.
"Ah! So... so that's how it is!"
Hearing this, Natori Shuichi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then please follow me, Mr. Ye!"
Natori Shuichi led the way towards the direction of Yue Ting's kitchen.
An hour later.
When Ye Ming returned to the room pushing a dining cart, Nangong Qianyu had already woken up. She was chatting with Nogawa Shagun about something, occasionally letting out bell-like laughter.
However, upon seeing Ye Ming's return, they immediately stopped their conversation. Not only that, but her gaze towards Ye Ming clearly held extreme anger.
It seemed that the events of last night had become a lingering shadow for Nangong Qianyu.
Of course!
That was not the reason for her anger.
What truly angered and confused Nangong Qianyu was that she still didn't understand what had happened last night to drive Ye Ming so mad and push himself so hard.
After waking up this morning, she had recalled it more than once. In her memory, she shouldn't have done anything to warrant such retaliation from him.
Therefore, Nangong Qianyu still had a knot in her stomach.
Little did she know that the culprit who caused her to suffer Ye Ming's ruthless assault was an intelligence chief located in a luxurious palace far across the ocean.
Seeing Nangong Qianyu's glare as if she was going to kill him, Ye Ming quickly averted his gaze, pretending not to see.
As for Nogawa Shagun, who was sitting opposite Nangong Qianyu, she saw this scene and her beautiful eyes darted back and forth between the two, wondering if she had sensed something.
"Here, this is the breakfast I specifically made for you. Try it quickly!" Ye Ming placed stacks of exquisite dishes in front of the two women and invited them with a smile.
"Hmph!"
Nangong Qianyu stared intently at Ye Ming, picked up a piece of breakfast, and took a fierce bite. Her savage chewing motion made Ye Ming subconsciously break out in a cold sweat.
"Holy crap! She... she's really angry!"
Ye Ming shifted his backside a few inches to the left, trying to maintain a safe distance from Nangong Qianyu.
It had to be said that Nangong Qianyu's actions at this moment were as if she wanted to grab Ye Ming in her hands, devour his flesh, and drink his blood.
At this moment, Nogawa Shagun didn't pay attention to their actions. Her attention had already been captured by the exquisitely shaped, fragrant, and colorful pastries on the table.
"This... you made all of this?"
Nogawa Shagun picked up a piece with her chopsticks, somewhat disbelieving.
"Of course!"
Ye Ming did not humble himself at all. He patted his chest and said, "Try it quickly! The taste is the essence!"
"Hmph!"
However, his words only drew another big eye-roll from Nangong Qianyu.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Seeing this situation, Ye Ming could only clear his throat awkwardly and dared not say more.
When Nogawa Shagun put the pastry into her mouth, she gently bit into it. The soft and glutinous texture and the perfectly balanced flavor instantly activated her taste buds. She, who had never been very interested in food, seemed to have discovered a new world at this moment.
"This..."
Nogawa Shagun's beautiful eyes widened. She seemed to have discovered another secret in these pastries.
"Why, after eating these pastries, can I feel a mysterious power washing over my body? What is going on?"
Nogawa Shagun looked shocked.
This was what surprised her the most.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Nogawa Shagun say this, Nangong Qianyu didn't seem to realize it.
She had eaten Ye Ming's food many times before, and the taste was indeed amazing. But apart from that, there was nothing else special about it.
"Didn't I tell you, this is what I specially prepared for you!" Ye Ming smiled and looked at Nangong Qianyu, saying, "Qianyu! Don't you feel any changes in your body at all?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Ye Ming say this, Nangong Qianyu finally examined her current physical condition carefully.
After all, she had been full of anger before, so how could she have noticed these things?
"This..."
After a moment, Nangong Qianyu suddenly stood up, looked at the pastry in her hand, and exclaimed, "I seem to feel less tired, my legs don't ache anymore, and my spirits are much better. But last night I clearly..."
Before she could finish, Nangong Qianyu immediately covered her mouth.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Nogawa Shagun looked at Nangong Qianyu's slightly flushed face and curled her lips, saying, "What happened last night?"
Being stared at so intently by Nogawa Shagun, Nangong Qianyu's face turned even redder.
"N-nothing?"
She lowered her head and gently bit into the pastry in her hand.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled knowingly and said nothing.
The reason he cooked today, besides Nogawa Shagun, was also considering Nangong Qianyu's health.
After all!
She truly needed some replenishment.
