Yan Xiaoxi stood on the spot, stomping her feet in anger. She felt as if her entire body was about to explode. The anger in her heart instantly surged to the top of her heart.

At this time, Bei Bai Xi appeared and saw everything. He asked with concern: "Xi Er, what happened?"

"Brother Bei, we don't have anything to eat tonight." Yan Xiaoxi said dejectedly.

"I'll take Xi Er out to eat, alright?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoxi jumped up in excitement. She clapped and said, "Okay."

In the blink of an eye, Yan Xiaoxi immediately went back on her word. She helplessly looked at Bei Bai and muttered, "It's better if I don't leave the mansion."

Yan Xiaoxi still remembered what Nangong Zhen and the mysterious man had said. The Lin King's Manor was relatively safe.

If he went out, he might not give Brother Bei any trouble.

Bei Bai Xi was stunned for a moment. He was surprised by Yan Xiaoxi's transformation, but he still maintained his smile.

"Then I'll make it for you?" Immediately, Northwestern made another suggestion.

"Brother Bei can cook?" Yan Xiaoxi's watery eyes widened as she looked at Bei Bai with a face full of worship.

Bei Bai Xi nodded and acted immediately. Under Yan Xiaoxi's gaze, he walked into the kitchen.

After entering, he first observed the entire kitchen, making it easy to operate.

After the inspection of the kitchen furniture and utensils, Behcet continued to examine the ingredients inside.

Once they were all ready, Beiming Ce quickly began to cook.

Yan Xiaoxi stood at the side, quietly watching Bei Bai Xi's actions of chopping vegetables. He looked just like a professional tavern's chef; it was simply too dazzling.

At first, Yan Xiaoxi was worried that Bei Bai was just kind enough to tell her that he wanted to make her something to eat and that he was worried about the taste of the food. But now, looking at his attitude, she knew that the food he made must be pretty good.

As she thought of this, Yan Xiaoxi couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She was simply too hungry.

Bei Bai Xi was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, several tasty dishes were placed on the kitchen table.

There was Steamed Fish, Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, Red Braised Meat, and Chinese cabbage tofu. There was also a bowl of tomato and egg soup. Yan Xiaoxi liked all of the dishes.

"Eat." Beiming Ce placed the chopsticks in Yan Xiaoxi's hand.

Yan Xiaoxi took the chopsticks. She couldn't hold back her saliva any longer and immediately picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat.

Fat but not greasy, with a moderate taste. It really was delicious.

Looking at Yan Xiaoxi's excited expression, Bei Bai was very satisfied.

The two chatted as they ate, talking and laughing merrily in the kitchen.

On the other side, the atmosphere in the room was extremely cold.

According to Nangong Lin's instructions, the butler secretly followed Yan Xiaoxi and reported everything that he had done to the prince.

"Do you think that Northbusch himself cooked for the Princess?" Nangong Lin's voice was still cold.

Having followed Nangong Lin for so many years, the butler knew with a single glance that something was amiss with the current situation.

The prince's expression and tone clearly meant that he was angry.

It was over. He could already imagine how the wangfei would suffer the wrath of his own prince.

Nangong Lin clenched his fists and left the room in a rage. His veins were popping out and he treated the butler in front of him as if he were invisible.

The steward stood on the spot and wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly followed.

When Nangong Lin arrived at the kitchen, he saw a scene like this in front of his eyes. Yan Xiaoxi was holding a crystal prawn in her mouth, while the dumpling was the crystal shrimp dumpling that Bei Bai Xi loved to eat the most. With a smile on her face, she chatted with Bei Bai Xi beside her.

Suddenly, Nangong Lin shifted his gaze away from the two of them. His gaze was fixated on the food Beiming Baixi was cooking on the table. The color and appearance were pretty good, making him want to have an appetite.

Who would have thought that he, the distinguished Crown Prince of the Northern Moon Kingdom, would know how to cook? This was truly unbelievable.

However, he didn't know any other skills, he just knew how to cook. This point struck the fatal point of Yan Xiaoxi.

After eating her fill, Yan Xiaoxi then parted ways with Bei Bai. When she returned to her room, she did not see Nangong Lin.

After not seeing Nangong Lin for half a day, Yan Xiaoxi could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, this feeling only lasted for a short while.

Very quickly, she thought of the dinner. Her lost passion was instantly replaced by anger, and she scolded Nangong Lin countless times in her heart.

She glanced in the direction of the door, but there was no movement. She drank a cup of tea, ate a pastry, and was ready to go to bed.

Soon, Yan Xiaoxi fell into a deep slumber. Just as she was deep in sleep, she heard a familiar voice.

"Woman." This was a name that belonged solely to Nangong Lin.

Feeling sleepy, Yan Xiaoxi rolled over and pushed Nangong Lin who was beside her away. "Go away. I want to sleep."

"Get up." After saying that, Nangong Lin ignored Yan Xiaoxi's objections and dragged her out of bed.

Yan Xiaoxi rubbed her sleepy eyes. Her vision gradually became clear, and she immediately saw Nangong Lin's handsome face floating in front of her.

She looked at the spiritually meaningful Nangong Lin and asked, "Little Linlin, what are you doing?"

"Get up and eat." Nangong pointed to the table.

Following Nangong Lin's line of sight, Yan Xiaoxi saw a strange dish placed on a table in the room. It was pitch black and she couldn't tell what it was at all.

"What is this?" Yan Xiaoxi couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming. Was the food on the table edible at all?

Was she hungry again? That was why she had had such a strange dream.

No, no, go back to sleep.

With that thought in mind, Yan Xiaoxi immediately lay down and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep again.

However, the moment she laid down, she was pulled up by a strong arm.

Yan Xiaoxi leaned against the bed and looked at Nangong Lin with a helpless expression. She looked at him and asked, "I'm not dreaming."

"Of course." Nangong Lin nodded. He extended his hand and grabbed the coat beside the bed and draped it over Yan Xiaoxi's body. He pulled her up and brought her to the table.

Yan Xiaoxi was like a puppet. She had no life at all as she allowed Nangong Lin to manipulate her.

There were a total of four plates in front of her, but the food within them was surprisingly identical. They were all black and looked like they had no appetite, not to mention that there was an urge to eat them.

"Little Lin Lin, don't mess with me so late at night." Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with a wronged expression.

"It really can be eaten." Nangong Lin said solemnly.

Yan Xiaoxi's eyes were filled with suspicion as she asked again, "Really?"

Nangong Lin nodded with an extremely serious expression. It was precisely he who solemnly promised Yan Xiaoxi courage.

"Alright, I'll try." In front of food, Yan Xiaoxi was brave.

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of dumpling and slowly put it into her mouth before taking a bite.

The taste was indescribable, but it could be said that Yan Xiaoxi would never forget tonight's meal.
