28 Hamburgers

Zhang Yong neither stopped her, nor he asked any question. He just silently let her change his appearance.

Because he had a feeling that if he refused to change his appearance then Li Ming would probably kick him out of the village.

After she had completed her task, she took him to the orphanage.

The look on Zhang Yong's face when he saw the old and barely standing house in front of them was indescribable.

"Why are we here?" Zhang Yong stopped in front of the orphanage and asked.

Li Ming turned around and looked at the frown that had appeared on his face. "Are you planning to sleep on the street?"

"Don't tell me we are going to spend our night here!" Zhang Yong said as he looked at the orphanage.

"If not here then where are you planning to sleep tonight? I'm not powerful enough to teleport you back to the Imperial City." Li Ming said.

"Let's find an inn or something. This place looks like it's going to collapse any moment." Zhang Yong took hold of her wrist in his hand and started to walk in other direction.

Li Ming broke his hold and folded her arms. "Your Highness, this is not your Imperial City but a small and poor village. Why do you even think that you will find an inn here?"

"And let me tell you something important today. You should not judge a book by its cover. Sometimes looks can be deceiving. And trust me, in this case you are being deceived by the looks. Come! Let me show you some magic."

Li Ming didn't wait and entered the orphanage. Zhang Yong looked at the orphanage once more but decided to follow Li Ming halfheartedly.

Nothing had prepared him for the view that he met after entering the house. Rather than an old building the house looked brand new and had a beautiful garden.

After knowing Li Ming for nearly a month, he should be prepared, right!

Li Ming introduced Zhang Yong to the old couple and the children. She took him to show his room which was right beside her own.

Although the room was not too grand but it was spacious and beautifully furnished.

She looked at the Prince and asked mockingly, "Do you still think that this place is not suitable for you to stay?"

Zhang Yong put both of his hands on either side of her shoulder and said with a cute angelic voice, "Wherever my Ming'er stay is definitely the most beautiful place in the world. How could it will not be suitable?"

Li Ming looked at the shameless person in front of her. Just a few minutes ago he was ready to flew from the orphanage but suddenly it became the most beautiful place in the world!

Zhang Yong looked at the cold look on Li Ming's face and said hurriedly, "Ming'er, I'm hungry and I have not eaten any of your dishes for a complete week. Please make something for me." The tone he used was so cute and adorable. No one could make themselves say no to such a person.

Li Ming shook her head but decided to prepare something for the devil.

She spent next hour in preparing the dinner. She didn't cooked several dishes this time.

Everyone gathered around the large table in the garden. The place was beautiful decorated with lanterns by the children. The garden was sparkling in light from the lanterns and the full moon above in the sky.

Li Ming brought the food outside with  the help of the kitchen group.

She had prepared three large bowls of Hamburger Fried Rice and a very large amount of hamburgers. The children got to drink a glass of milk while the elders got one can of beer each and of course, according to Li Ming she was also old enough to drink.

The group enjoyed a delicious and hearty meal. Although at first everyone was confused about how they were going to eat without chopsticks, but then Li Ming picked up her burger and took a large bite out of it.

She looked at the people around her who were giving her a strange look. "What? Not hungry anymore!"

She didn't pay any more attention to them as she busied herself in enjoying the rich flavor of the hamburger and the beer.

The group also didn't waste more time. They could tell that whatever that round thing was, it was really delicious and who cared if they had to eat with chopsticks or with their bare hands as long as they enjoyed the food.

The last person to submit was the Fourth Prince. Though he didn't want to eat with his bare hands but there was no possible way to eat with the chopsticks. And he also didn't want to loose the pleasure of eating the food prepared by his favorite chef.

When he saw everyone including the old couple, eating the hamburger, he finally gave in. It's not like anyone would know that the Fourth Prince of the Han Empire was eating his food in such a way except his Ming'er.

Li Ming looked at the Prince and chuckled softly. They all enjoyed the food. She had made enough hamburger that each of them could eat at least three pieces each.

The environment inside the orphanage was warm and happy. Everyone was smiling as they chatted about random topics.
