Blushing, thinking she might have eaten too greedily, she looked at the chef. But the gruff, bearded old man, now with his mouth agape, looked even more moved than Dr. Hile earlier.
“Did I do something wrong?”
“I’ve never seen anyone enjoy my food so much since I came to this mansion.”
The chef burst into tears, blew his nose on a handkerchief, and stuffed it back in his pocket. He then opened the lid of the soup pot on the trolley and ladled a generous portion into a large bowl for her.
“Eat up! I, Ralph, have no mercy for picky eaters, but for those who appreciate food, I can cook until they’re full to bursting!”
“Ralph, Grandpa! How can you say such things to the lady!”
“Oh, Madam or Grandpa, it doesn’t matter! Anyone who enjoys my cooking is like my grandchild in this mansion!”
Hena scolded Ralph as her cheeks turned pale.
Yu-An observed Ralph’s thick hands, covered in orange fur, also adorned with clumsily applied bandages.
“Did you get hurt while cooking?”
“Madam! Please don’t worry about such things! He probably got those wounds in a fuss after hearing you were hurt!”
“That disrespectful kid. How many times have I cooked for you since you were little? That plump belly of yours is all thanks to my cooking!”
“Don’t speak so carelessly about a lady’s figure, Ralph, Grandpa!”
“A lady, my foot. You’re still just a little potato-sized kid…”
While they bantered, Yu-An continued to enjoy the soup that warmed her frozen body and soul.
After cleaning her bowl, she moved it to Ralph’s trolley and then, as if to encourage him, firmly grasped his arm, which was still watching her in stunned silence.
“Thank you, chef. That was the most delicious soup I’ve ever had in my life.”
Yu-An felt the pain of the burns and cuts the chef had sustained while cooking for her seep into her fingers and wrists.
‘It seems he got burned, too.’
She sincerely thanked the chef, Ralph, who had put in effort for a stranger like her. The overwhelming warmth in her heart was almost too much to bear.
Having shed tears earlier, Chef Ralph now clutched the empty bowl Yu-An had used, promising to prepare new patient meals every day before disappearing.
In a short time, various servants of the Black Mansion came one by one to greet Yu-An.
There was Mr. Marjolaine, the coachman and stable keeper, and two young maids named Monica and Canaria. Several older servants peeked at Yu-An with stoic faces, blushing and then disappearing after brief greetings.
After the short encounters, Yu-An lay in bed, listening to the wind howling outside, only blinking her eyes.
Whoooosh. The sound of the winter wind that once hammered against the carriage door, as if urging her to cross the river of death.
Now, it felt like a distant memory, irrelevant to Yu-An.
“Klade Uphris.”
She finally uttered the name of her husband, whom she hadn’t seen all day, a man who hadn’t shown a single strand of his hair.
What did his face look like?
Backlit and half out of her senses, she hadn’t had the luxury to observe his mood.
She could only recall his tall stature, as imposing as the black iron fence that blocked the carriage, and the shadow of his broad shoulders.
His uninviting demeanor was clear.
But one thing was certain:
The black mansion she had longed to enter was the embodiment of the man himself.
His precious, glittering hair, and facial features were overshadowed by an aura almost monochrome in nature.
Her first impression of her ‘husband’ was intense yet profoundly lonely.
The rumors that looking directly into his eyes would cause one’s body to rot and limbs to shrivel were just tall tales.
Instead, once she endured his rumored grotesque face, only his normal half was visible to her.
She recalled, was his expression a bit sensitive?
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
