Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Do You Know How to Pamper a Man? Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Do You Know How to Pamper a Man? Bai Chuwei couldn't help but sigh. Men really are fickle, one moment insisting on a five-nut filling, then immediately asking to switch to another.
On any other day, Bai Chuwei would definitely not have been so good-tempered, actually going ahead and changing the filling for him.
Duan Feihan wasn't picky about other fillings. He stood beside Bai Chuwei, smelling the faint scent of herbs emanating from her, his eyes dropping to the pale, slender fingers that had become coated with quite a bit of flour. Although her aura was ethereal and chilly, being in the kitchen added a touch of worldly warmth to her presence.
Even before, she had only sent a recipe to Cao Jinhai, letting Chef Cao prepare a feast to commemorate the anniversary of the death of that “beaming moonlight”, but now she was personally cooking.
However… Duan Feihan's lips pursed lightly, this didn't seem to be a good thing.
Although she hadn't cooked herself in over five thousand years, the mooncakes Bai Chuwei made were still decent. Once correctly pressed with the mold, they just needed to be baked in the oven.
Soon, the fragrance of the mooncakes began to waft from the oven. Bai Chuwei took them out and pushed the carved wooden plate toward him with a smile, “Here, made especially for you, I hope Hanhan has a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Duan Feihan tugged at the corner of his lips softly, reaching out to take a piece of the now-cooled mooncake and bit into it.
The sweet taste of the lotus seed paste instantly filled his entire mouth.
Leaning against the dining table, he ate the mooncake at a leisurely pace, “Can you tell me the reason?”
Bai Chuwei hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said, “I've had Wanwan investigate your mother's case. It appears to be an internal judgment within the Demon Domain.”
Wanwan and the others are not high-ranking enough yet; they could only find this information without knowing the reasons.
Bai Chuwei didn't want to deceive Duan Feihan, because it would be pointless; Duan Feihan, the antagonist, was already suspicious of the cause of his mother's death, and sooner or later, he was bound to uncover the truth.
The family elders have always disdained so-called “kind lies”. Put plainly, they are still lies. Therefore, she didn't conceal anything and chose to inform him directly.
No matter the identity or age, a mother always holds a significant position.
Even if Duan Feihan was a workaholic and a tool in the story, at this moment, he was flesh and blood, capable of emotion.
Duan Feihan gazed steadily at Bai Chuwei, his eyes gradually taking on a somber hue, his broad shoulders tensing unconsciously.
Internal, judgment.
Even though he had already speculated, the confirmation of his guess caused Duan Feihan's mood to fluctuate.
The man's tall stature was gently embraced by Bai Chuwei, her long, warm arms delicately climbed onto his shoulders, her fingers sliding up his neck and into the dark strands of Duan Feihan's hair.
Bai Chuwei cooed softly, “Don't be too sad.”
Bai Chuwei rarely spoke so tenderly. Like a light morning drizzle, her words gently fell upon the heart, nourishing what had begun to decay.
Duan Feihan took a moment, then pulled up the corners of his mouth and asked in a low voice, “Are you treating me like a child?”
Her palm was gently patting his back, not much different from soothing a child.
Duan Feihan vaguely remembered that Bai Chu arrived at the Duan Family not long after his mother's “suicide”. At that time, he was deep in isolation, and she had comforted him in this very manner.
Bai Chuwei chuckled lightly, “Anyone in front of me is just a child.”
What was wrong with that?
Duan Feihan pulled her hand from the back of his head down, his deep, ocean-like gaze fixed on her, “Then do you know how to soothe a man?”
