Trying to Understand

"My liege!"

Jing Xi shrieked as she jumped away from Huo Yunshen.

Huo Yunshen just kept staring at her as if he was reevaluating the woman in front of him.

It would make sense if the woman in front of him had the same body shape and vibe as Jing Xi, but what made Huo Yunshen curious was that the foods she made tasted like Jing Xi's too.

"Where did you learn how to make this dish?" Huo Yunshen asked as he stood up.

"It's… it's my own recipe…"

Jing Xi stammered, as she was intimidated by Huo Yunshen's stare.

Did I just insult him with a bowl of noodles?

"Can… Can you let go of my arm? You're hurting me…" Jing Xi pleaded.

Huo Yunshen finally realized that he was grabbing Jing Xi's arm and quickly let her go.

But he still continued to stare at her, thinking about how she had mentioned that the braised meat noodle was her own recipe.

He was finally interested in Jin Xiaoxi and wanted to know more about her.
