Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Chapter 298 - 298 Arsenic, A Spice?!

When Luo Lixiang had turned around abruptly, the bloody hot thing had flown towards her and made her pale skin crimson.

"Not someone. If I want, I can poison you right now! Other people won't even know that you have died." 

"...don't say such things. It only breaks my heart!"

Kong Pipi didn't dare to make any noise and obediently went to sit at a corner. Luo Lixiang cooked with his moody face. 

Kong Pipi covered her nose so as to save it from his torturous disaster in the small kitchen.

After several minutes, Luo Lixiang came out with a plate in hand. There, all the contents of the pan were placed neatly in the middle.

'What to do?! I want to escape from here!'Just by the mere sight of it was enough for humans to get bedridden for several months. 

Luo Lixiang snorted at her reaction and put down the plate on the table. His eyes were so tender while watching the plate, other people might even have misunderstood that it was his lifelong masterpiece!

Then Luo Lixiang brought two empty bowls and two pairs of chopsticks. Without any care, he placed them down and told her sharply. 

"Now that you have barged into my place, be my guest, remember to eat before you go back…"

Even before Kong Pipi could utter her rejection, with a bang, he put the utensils in front of her and put one piece of red meat from the soup in her bowl; pushing it towards her.

"Eat!"

"..."

She was really afraid that if she didn't abide by his wishes, the next second, Luo Lixiang would take out a knife and stab her fragile heart. 

Just imagining it made her cry in fear. 'Why did I fall for this jerk?! My twisted brain! Kill yourself...'

With quivering hands, she grabbed the pair of chopsticks. But her fingers shook violently and the man felt like poking her to death.

"I… I, hey, you…" With horror in her eyes, Kong Pipi saw the man begin to eat a bloody piece. Not only that, he didn't even flinch a bit.

'Have I misunderstood something?' Looking at his unwavering demeanour, she had second thoughts. After all, no person could eat such food with a straight face. 'Perhaps, it just looks red but it's made of red ingredients?'

Thus she gulped down her saliva in anticipation and slowly brought the piece before her lips. As soon as she put the piece in front of her face, a strong smell of mixed spices assaulted her nose.

"Eeeer, Xiang, what is this thing you have made? Actually, in my whole life, I have never tasted something like this or seen… It sounded very delicious though. Huhu~" 

Even before she died, she wanted to know the cause of her death! As a pampered daughter of the Kong family, all her food and snacks were top-notch. 

Even the tiniest things would be examined carefully before they could be served in front of her.

Luo Lixiang stopped chewing his food and gazed at her deeply. He cast a meaningful glance towards her hand which was raised high.

For which the lady felt as if someone had put her under a microscope and was examining her with pins and needles. Poking her weak spots.

The man completely ignored her restless behaviour and stood up to go inside the mini kitchen. 

With stifling breath, Kong Pipi saw that he had returned with a little box. Then before her confused eyes, he sprinkled something from that box and it looked like metallic things.

Those tiny particles appeared exceptionally beautiful against the crimson liquid of the dish.

Luo Lixiang took a lot of time to answer her question, "(Baby lamb with chillies) A dish my mother taught me when she was alive. If you want to, then gobble it up or get out of my sight!"

Kong Pipi pursed her lips and silently muttered, "But from the looks of it, I think 'Chillies with bloody chillies' is a better name."

"Whatever!" The man had exceptionally good ears and was able to hear clearly whatever the other person was whispering.

Kong Pipi mocked him without being obvious. She hesitated for a second before asking, "What was the thing you have just sprinkled on it?"

"Arsenic, special spice only for haughty ladies like you… You can drop dead in a mere second." 

Kong Pipi's eyes twisted violently.

Luo Lixiang finished eating a few more pieces, then put down his chopsticks. While he was busy drinking water. The lady stopped her worries and enjoyed the scene before heart. 

His eyes mocked the woman whose face had turned red because of being caught red-handed for peeping at him and then turned pale. 

"... Arsenic?! You are lying, Right?!" Her face showed obvious anger and fear. Luo Lixiang scoffed and went back to place back the things he had just used. 

In the end, the woman courageously bit on the thing she was given and spit it out, "Xiang!!! Are you human?! How can you eat such a horrible thing? My platinum tongue has been burned because of this spicy human killing product!" 

Kong Pipi stood up and hurriedly reached out for a tissue to wipe her lips. The man didn't say anything and continued to do whatever he wanted. 

But the spicy taste didn't leave her tongue. First, she went to the washroom and cleaned her mouth thoroughly.

After she was done, Kong Pipi also didn't make any noise and obediently sat down, waiting for him to finish whatever he wanted.

However, it took three whole hours for the man to finally have the chance to sit together with Kong Pipi. He showered, shaved his face and even took several minutes to painstakingly call the family living beside him to make his dinner for today.

The lady was also used to this behaviour of his. While wiping his head, he commanded her without any hesitation, "Clean the bowls you have used."

Kong Pipi squinted her eyes and glared back, "Just hire something for these troublesome works."

"Didn't you come to help me? Why? Don't want to work anymore?" 

Kong Pipi threw him a look of 'I know you are trying to provoke me and make me work. But it's useless!'

Only after he was done, did he sit before her and ask, "Finish whatever you want. I will have to go out."

But she knew his temper. If she didn't listen to his demand, he would throw her out even if the house was rented under her name.
