Chapter 11: A Cook Delivered to the Door 2

Lin Fan followed the flow of the situation and released his hands. Huang Rong fell straight down, but just as she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, she was caught by the waist by Lin Fan again.

Lin Fan steadied her. "Miss, if you heard some bad rumors about me from somewhere and developed a misunderstanding, why not stay and see for yourself whether I am as unbearable as the rumors say?"

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is doubting. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Miss, do you think I'm right?"

Lin Fan wore a faint smile on his face, calmly and composedly persuading Huang Rong.

"If I stay, I'm afraid you'll just put on an act, and then I'll have wasted my effort."

Huang Rong said with a slightly flushed face. Although her face was covered in dust and couldn't be seen clearly, her neck, which was originally as white as jade, suddenly became suffused with a red glow.

At this moment, she didn't bother to dwell on Lin Fan calling her 'Miss'. Her slender waist had been held by him, and the two had been so close just now; if Lin Fan still hadn't discovered she was a girl, that would be the real problem.

"I wonder if you've heard the saying: 'There are thieves for a thousand days, but no one can guard against thieves for a thousand days.' Over time, people's vigilance will gradually fade. By the same token, no matter how well a person disguises themselves, they will naturally reveal flaws over time. I wonder if you dare to risk it and find out the truth?"

Lin Fan looked at Huang Rong in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Staying is staying, what do I have to be afraid of? I, Huang Rong, have traveled north and south, and I rely on my courage!"

"Besides, if you dare to lay a hand on me, my father won't let you off. He is a Grandmaster!"

Provoked by Lin Fan, Huang Rong's usually clever and eccentric brain seemed to short-circuit, and she blurted out that she would stay!

Once the words were out, Huang Rong felt a bit of regret. She knew too little about Lin Fan, and her Wu Gong was not as good as his. If he had evil intentions toward her, wouldn't she be finished?

However, this Lin Fan was quite handsome and extraordinary; it wouldn't be bad if she could marry him.

Bah, bah, bah, Huang Rong, oh Huang Rong, you are the daughter of Huang Huang Yaoshi, how can you be attracted by looks? The person you choose must be a dragon among men, otherwise, let alone passing your own test, you wouldn't even pass your father's.

After thinking about it, Huang Rong brought up Huang Huang Yaoshi again, wanting to intimidate Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's eyes lit up. As expected, it was the pretty Huang Rong. He hadn't guessed wrong; he had just been thinking in the morning that he needed a cook, and in the evening, one was delivered to his door. Excellent!

As for Huang Huang Yaoshi's threat, Lin Fan didn't take it to heart. After all, they would soon be one big family; a father-in-law hitting his son-in-law, that simply wouldn't do.

"Rest assured, I will never harbor evil intentions toward you. Since you are willing to stay, why not become a maid in my Lin Fu? I will give you ten silver taels every month. This way, you can supervise whether I am as the rumors say, and you won't have to live a life of displacement anymore!"

Lin Fan began to entice her step by step. Of course, he knew Huang Rong's background and that she wasn't short of money, just playing in the world. But to win over Huang Rong, he had to first soothe her fragile heart.

Although Huang Rong was clever and eccentric, she had lost her mother at a young age, and her father was eccentric and not good with words, so her heart was sensitive and fragile.

She had run away after being scolded by Huang Huang Yaoshi, her heart full of grievances, and she had been drifting in the Wu Lin. This was the perfect time to break into her heart.

"You, do you have ulterior motives toward me? Ten silver taels a month for a maid, that's just not right!"

Huang Rong was both moved and vigilant. She was moved by Lin Fan's care for her, but vigilant because his care was a bit out of line.

"Aren't you a second-rate martial artist? Ten silver taels a month is even a bit of a grievance for you. But I see you aren't good at fighting, so I won't arrange for you to be a guard. As for being a maid, ten taels a month is already above the standard!"

Seeing Huang Rong looking at him stubbornly yet weakly like a vigilant little beast, Lin Fan couldn't help but explain.

"Is that so? That makes sense, but I don't want to be a thug, and I don't want to be a maid either!"

Huang Rong lowered her guard slightly, and then her eyes began to roll.

"Oh? Could it be that you want to become my wife and be the mistress of this Lin Fu?"

Lin Fan said with a playful expression.

"Not at all, you lecher! I want to be a cook. My cooking is delicious. Ten taels a month can't hire me; it must be at least thirty taels a month!"

Huang Rong said with a coquettish pout.

"That's fine too. Since you are so confident, you can be the cook. However, it's getting late, so we won't test it today, but you will make breakfast tomorrow!"

"If you do well, thirty taels a month. If you do average, ten taels a month. If you do poorly, then you will obediently be my maid!"

Lin Fan looked at the petite and cute Huang Rong and said with a smile.

"Just wait until you swallow your tongue!"

"I am looking forward to it!"

"Lv He, come here for a moment!"

Lin Fan channeled his internal energy into the ears of Lv He in the courtyard next door.

Soon, Lv He ran over and discovered that besides the Young Master, there was an extra little beggar in the courtyard.

Lv He immediately drew her Qingping Sword and blocked in front of Lin Fan.

"Alright, she is a new cook I've hired. Arrange a room for her, let her wash up and rest. I want to test her culinary skills tomorrow morning!"

Lin Fan touched the little girl's head with some emotion and said softly.

"Young Master, this person's background is unknown, how can you accept her so easily? And to be a cook, wait, she's a woman?"

Lv He immediately objected. Keeping someone of unknown origin in Lin Fu was dangerous enough, and letting her into the kitchen, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?

But she suddenly realized the Young Master said 'cook', which meant the little beggar in front of her was a woman disguised as a man.

Then Lv He looked at Lin Fan with the eyes of someone looking at a heartbreaker, making him feel extremely awkward.

This little girl, what kind of look is that? It's as if I've let you down.

"That's it, it's decided. Go and make the arrangements!"

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, he had already entered the room, not giving Lv He a chance to continue.

"Hmph, let's go!"

Lv He sized up Huang Rong and compared their 'magnificent' features before she was satisfied and led Huang Rong away to wash up and rest.

Huang Rong felt offended. What kind of look was that little maid giving her? Where are you looking? I'm just young and haven't fully developed yet; I will definitely surpass you in the future!

Lv He didn't know what Huang Rong was thinking. She led Huang Rong to a room and said seriously: "Since the Young Master chose you as a cook, I hope you will be diligent and keep to your duties. Also, you must get up at the hour of the Rabbit tomorrow to make breakfast. I hope your cooking is worthy of the Young Master's trust!"

"From now on, you will live with me. I have to supervise you. I'll bring you some clothes later, and then you can wash up and rest."

When it came to wits, Huang Rong could outdo Lv He by ten streets, but this little girl was quite loyal and didn't seem so annoying, so Huang Rong gave up the idea of pranking her.

The little girl started drawing bathwater for Huang Rong, not knowing she had just escaped a disaster.
