Chapter 1235
Qiu Shuyu’s matter was the Old Master’s dark history.
And as the biggest victim, Xiao Mengxia had the right to nag him to the grave.
Therefore, the Old Master didn’t dare to make a sound.
Yanyun and the others were too embarrassed to continue watching him embarrass himself.
They went out tacitly and left the battlefield to the old couple.
After leaving, she didn’t forget to cover her mouth and hold back her laughter.
“Mengxia, in the future, in front of the children, you should... give me some face.” The Old Master said humbly.
“Call me Madam An!” Madam retorted.
“Mengxia, you... sigh... forget it.” The Old Master knew that she would probably never let him off in her life. “Do whatever you want.”c
“Look at your resentment.” Madam sneered. “Don’t force yourself if you’re unhappy. Anyway, we hate each other. I can return to Country Y to settle the family matters.”
The Old Master hurriedly pulled Madam back.
“No, no. You and I will never get tired of each other.” He lowered his face and begged for peace.
“How disgusting.” Madam wanted to shake him off, but the Old Master held on tightly. Thinking that he had just recovered from a serious illness, she really didn’t dare to forcefully shake him off.
“It’s not disgusting. We’ve been married for a long time.” The Old Master smiled cheekily. “Oh right, I specially instructed the kitchen to make your favorite steamed salmon today.”
Madam’s eyes softened.
“Do you still remember what I like to eat?”
She thought that the Old Master had never cared about her and would never remember her preferences.
In his eyes, there should only be Qiu Shuyu, that mistress.
“Of course I remember. Do you still remember that chef? You said that he’s the best at steaming fish.” The Old Master asked eagerly.
“I remember.” Madam’s eyes lit up. “Could he still be around?”
“He’s already retired, but his son is in charge of the kitchen now. His son’s cooking is as good as his. I guarantee that it will be like the original.”
“Really?” Madam finally smiled and asked in surprise, “Then I want to see him. Does his son look like him?”
“Yes.” The Old Master seized the chance to answer. “Children are all like their parents. For example, Xiaosong and Linyi. Look, they’re all like you...”
Madam was... silent for a moment.
The Old Master held Madam’s hand.
“Mengxia, actually, the chefs in the kitchen have basically all been changed... But he is the only one. I’ve always specially instructed them to keep him. I-I remember that you had just married me and got pregnant with Xiaosong. You vomited everything you ate. You could only eat steamed salmon. I deliberately didn’t care about you at that time... I made you suffer a lot...”
Madam turned her face away and didn’t say anything.
But the Old Master could feel that her hand was trembling slightly.
“After you were gone, I often thought about how good you were... I know I was a bastard. I didn’t cherish you when I had you and even ruined the marriage. I thought I had a cool personality...”
“Mengxia, I’ve always thought that this calamity of mine is my retribution... The changes in the Rong family all these years are my retribution for abandoning you...”
“But Xiaosong became like this because of my mistake. I’ve always thought that if I can survive this time, I must make up for my past mistakes. Mengxia... I can understand if you don’t forgive me. But... can you... go and see Xiaosong...”
