Chapter 28: Storytelling

Shi Fengju, with an empty stomach, waited for a while but did not hear the door open or see Lan Xiang coming. He suspected that his cousin must have stopped her out of spite.

Shi Fengju bitterly smiled, feeling the hunger gnawing at him as he looked at the cold dishes and rice on the table. He couldn't bear life like this anymore!

Forget it! If he couldn't eat, it wouldn't kill him to starve for one meal! The young master, who had been pampered since birth, finally experienced the taste of hunger. Silently reciting "Starve the body and skin, work the tendons and bones," he took a book from the bookshelf, planning to read for a while to pass the time before returning to Ningyuan later. By then, he would ask Xingzhi to cook a midnight snack. Although he didn't usually eat late-night snacks, it should be alright today. After all, wasn't he the master of the house?
