Yunyi, seeing her goal achieved, then spoke softly, "We’ve been enduring for so long, we can’t make any mistakes before dawn comes."
She believed the master understood the subtleties in her words and would properly restrain the little guy, Yuan Zining.
Unexpectedly, the little guy spoke up at this time, "Master Aunt, did I do something wrong?"
Yunyi closed the door, set down the basket from her back, and patted the little guy’s head, "Why would our Zining say something like this?"
Yuan Zining hung his head, "I shouldn’t have let my guard down and brought up Master Aunt here. If someone with ill intentions heard, it could lead to endless trouble."
Yunyi exchanged a glance with the master, feeling both comforted and pained.
Pulling him over to the basket, "Master Aunt brought quite a bit of food over for you, see if you like it."
Saying this, she took out a roast duck prepared by Mother Huo, "While no one is around tonight, hurry and try the roast duck I brought back from Beijing."
Yuan Zining involuntarily swallowed when he smelled the aroma, making Yuan Yuxun, the grandfather, feel a pang of sadness.
Yunyi first tore a duck leg and handed it to Yuan Zining, "Zining, take a bite to satisfy your craving."
Soon after, another duck leg found its way into Yuan Yuxun’s hand.
Yuan Yuxun was about to say to leave it for Zining, but before he could speak, Yunyi said, "I still have quite a bit on my side, I’ll bring another over on New Year’s Eve. Eat this one tonight; the taste of cooked food is too strong, it can’t be kept."
Yuan Yuxun thought about it and agreed, even though it’s cold and not many people come here, but what if?
He really couldn’t take the risk, "Alright, let’s not keep it overnight then."
