"Yang Ming, I think I should go back. She probably doesn't want to see me. I'll come back when she's almost better,"
Chu Lian worried that seeing him now might upset her further. She had barely escaped death and was still so weak.
Once she recovered in a few days, his presence would be less of a shock, as her resilience would be stronger than it was now.
"Hmm, that might be best."
"I'll have my kitchen maid come over every day to make her some nourishing food; you help smooth things over when the time comes."
"..." Chu Lian had given them a tough problem again. How could they smooth this over? Their family wasn't wealthy enough to afford a chef.
"Brother Chu, maybe it's better not to have the kitchen maid come. It'll be discovered."
After thinking it over for a moment, Chu Lian then said, "Then I won't send her. I'll have some food delivered instead, and you can take care of preparing it."
