The Last Ace (20)

By the time Huo Mian arrived home, everyone had already gone to bed.

She quietly opened the front door, and immediately, Uncle Li greeted her, "Welcome back, Madam."

"Thanks, Uncle Li. Please feel free to go rest."

"Young Master made a late-night snack for you; it's still in the kitchen. Should I heat it up for you?"

"Qin Chu made me a snack?" Huo Mian was surprised as Uncle Li nodded.

"Hm, what is it?" Huo Mian asked curiously.

"Noodles served with black bean sauce."

"Is today a special occasion?" Huo Mian thought hard, but couldn't recall anything special about the date.

"Young Madam, would you like to have a bite?"

"I can handle it, Uncle Li. It's getting late, you should rest." It was getting really late, so she didn't have the heart to be bothersome to Uncle Li.
