In the end, Wang Ma decided not to answer Naruto question directly but just gave him a vague one which made Naruto feels confuse now. Wang Ma wanted these two people to overcome the misunderstanding on their own, not only she thought this is the best way but also if it was done correctly, it can cause their relationship to soar.
Wang Ma happily cooking the ramen, she was humming in a cheerful tone that can be heard by Naruto, who was in the living room.
Definitely nerve failure system, she should check in with a doctor soon, Naruto frowned as he thought the possibility of something that responsible for her mood.
It wasn't long before Wang Ma finished her task and quick, a smell of thick and flavor broth entered Naruto nose, making his stomach playing drum band and waterfall had fallen from his mouth.
Wang Ma came out with a delicious looking noodle served within a quite large bowl. Steam slowly crept out from it, leaving behind the boiled angry-looking soup because had been forced out from its hot pot room.
Several topping could be seen befriended the noodle: the half-boiled eggs, scallion, meat, and other. they look so neatly as if they tried to conspire against Naruto stomach.
Gulping down his throat, Naruto rushed to the dining table and stared hungrily at his prey.
Oh yes, you are mine!
Naruto sat on the chair while impatiently waiting for Wang Ma to put that heavenly dish in front of him.
Wang Ma giggled at Naruto's childish act, she carefully walked toward where he sat and served the dish for him.
"Dinner's ready Young Master, please do enjoy it," Wang Ma said
"Thank you, Auntie Wang! You must be coming from god's kitchen that you would be able to make such a mouth-watering food!" Naruto said without facing her, his mouth gaped and stuttered.
"Young Master is so kind, you don't have to be that exaggerated," Wang Ma bashfully said.
Didn't spare any more time, Naruto chew down the ramen, the moment its texture enter his mouth, a soft yet hard, a mild but not soggy noodle could be tasted inside his mouth. The happy feeling of munching godsend food couldn't be compared to any other else. Finished digesting the noodle, Naruto took a sip of the brownish soup, the taste of chicken bouillon powder mixed with vegetables and season created a harmonic wonderful flavor that made people to craved for more.
Gulping down several sips more, Naruto put down the spoon and stare at Wang Ma hotly, Wang Ma felt uncomfortable being stared by Naruto like this, although she was no longer young she always maintained her appearance to look beautiful and fit. By all mean, she didn't do this for the sake of attracting men, she just likes to attending her figure.
"Young Master, please stop staring. It's embarrassing!" Wang Ma nervously spoke.
Naruto kept staring at Wang Ma before he suddenly cried with anime tears, He sobbed, "Wang Ma please be my god-mother! I want to always eat your ramen cooking!"
Wang Ma got confused by Naruto sudden outburst, she couldn't help but asked, "Young Master, what are you talking about? You can always eat ramen here whenever you want..."
Naruto slurping the noodle while anime tears kept pouring from his eyes, "Huuum, how can I? As soon as Ruoxi come home, she would kick me out of the house, if you don't become my god-mother, I believe she wouldn't let me in to taste more of your cooking!"
Wang Ma startled so hard that she almost get chocked. she tried to control herself for not laughing as she consoled: "Young Master, you don't have to be worried, Young Miss is not going to kick you out, believe me..."
Naruto stared confusedly at her but his mouth didn't stop slurping, with a mouth full of noodle he asked: "Ub? Ibn't bhe angby bith be? I bubt billeb bibe bebbon ib bronb ob bou bobh, I abbo abbost bubt bin kun (Um? Isn't she angry with me? I just killed five people in front of you both, I also almost hurt Lin Kun)"
Wang Ma's sweat dropped after listening foreign language Naruto just spoke, she didn't get it but she thought that he must be asking about the reason. When Wang Ma was about to explain, a sound of a familiar woman coming from the front door.
"I'm home," said the woman with a weary and exhausted tone.
Of course, both Naruto and Wang Ma knew who this voice belonged to, if not the lady of the house, Lin Ruoxi, then who else's?
Wang Ma glanced at Naruto before she took off to greet her, Naruto became frozen on his seat as his appetite greatly decreased, didn't have any more desire to eat, Naruto put down the chopsticks and nervously rose so he can also greet her. At the moment he came out from the dining room, it was the same time where Lin Ruoxi came out from the hall and step inside the living room. The youngster's body suddenly stopped and turned stiff the moment their gaze clashing with each other. The awkward air lingers in the room as both parties have different thought regarding the opposite person and how this part of the scene would play.
Naruto POV inside his mind :
"Naruto from now on, don't ever step inside my house again, I'm asking you to help me regaining my grandmother old villa and protect me from Xu Zhihong attempt to court me, not to kill people and hurt my father," Lin Ruoxi spoke in a cold tone, her eyes coldly gaze at him with unfamiliar expression.
Naruto let out a cold sweat as he tried to explain himself, "Ruoxi, I..."
"Enough, now pack your bags and leave the house! I don't ever want to see you again!" Lin Ruoxi interjected, didn't leave any room for Naruto to defend himself.
Lin Ruoxi POV inside her mind :
"Ruoxi, your father is an asshole that keeps hurting you over and over again yet you stopped me when I'm about to teach him a lesson, what do you take me for? Do you think it didn't hurt me when you are choosing him over me? Don't you remember whose helping you these last few days? You ungrateful woman," Naruto coldly spoke, his cold eyes and harsh word stabbed her right in the heart.
Lin Ruoxi tear up as she tried to explain herself, "Naruto, please..."
"Enough! from this moment onward, we don't have any more relation, I'm going to leave, goodbye!" Naruto cut her off before she managed to say anything.
Back to reality :
Both of them let out a cold sweat, fearing for what they Imagine became true, they looked at the just arrived Wang Ma and spoke at the same time.
"Auntie Wang, I'm going to visit a friend now, thanks for the dinner, see you later," Naruto hurriedly said.
"Wang Ma, I'm not hungry and really tired, I'm going to sleep early, good night!" Lin Ruoxi hurriedly said.
Without waiting for Wang Ma response, they went to their own excuses based on what they said.
Wang Ma looked at the different direction they went in a confusion, she sighed before said, "Ah, youngster..."
Naruto and Lin Ruoxi managed to get away from each other, Naruto was standing outside the house in depressed manner while Lin Ruoxi leaning against her room's door and cried.
They had the same thought, Sorry Naruto/Ruoxi I don't want to hear you say that...
