Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Reluctantly Still A Free Man Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Reluctantly Still A Free Man He was about to head to the kitchen, but he paused mid-step and turned back to his son.

“Yulang, do you think that girl would get scared off by the crowd at our door?”

He was really worried. If it was as he suspected, then he was the one who had messed up his son’s chance.

At these words, Zeng Yulang turned to his father helplessly.

“Dad, the lady you’re referring to is a healer,” he said.

“But we’ve been waiting for so long, didn’t she promise to come back after seven days? It’s been longer than that.” Old Man Zeng grumbled under his breath.

It’s been almost two weeks, and still no sign of her.

He speculated that she must have been intimidated by the crowd outside and turned away as soon as she saw them.

“Something must have kept her, let’s just wait,” he said.

Zeng Yulang surprisingly didn’t seem impatient. He had already resigned to his fate of having a ruined face, but thanks to Lin Caisang, there was hope. So what if he had to wait a few more days?

Not just a few days, even waiting for several months felt worth it to him.

“But how long do we need to wait?” Old Man Zeng asked his son in distress.

Zeng Yulang: “…”

If he knew how long the wait was, would they still be waiting here? Wouldn’t she have arrived by now?

“Dad, you sit here, I will go make some noodles,” he says.

Whether they had to wait or not was uncertain, but one thing he was sure of was that if he continued standing here chatting with his dad, he was going to collapse from hunger.

“No, you can’t go,” Old Man Zeng quickly objected to his son heading to the kitchen.

“A man mustn’t enter the kitchen. Stay here, I’ll go instead,” he murmured as he walked towards the kitchen.

Zeng Yulang, who had already risen, was startled: “!!!”

If he can’t go to the kitchen because he’s a man, then what about his father?

Besides, who has decreed that men can’t go into the kitchen? Those big restaurants are all run by male chefs. The saying ‘real gentlemen stays away from the kitchen’ isn’t his favorite by any means.

…

In the alleyway, Lin Caisang and Ya Molian were walking together while chatting.

“Last time, right here, I gave aid to that… Eh!”

As she was talking to Ya Molian, she pointed at the familiar house and saw the crowd outside, which left her speechless.

“What’s going on here?” Blinking her eyes, she tilted her head, looking at the people whispering outside the house of Zeng Yulang, and then at Ya Molian.

“Let’s check it out.”

Ya Molian didn’t say anything but simply held her hand and led her into the crowd.

“Excuse me, could I ask…”

“Oh, someone’s here. Miss, you’re the healer, aren’t you? The one who healed his face?”

“Miss, I’m the steward of Marquis Changping’s Mansion. My master invites you over to treat someone’s injury in our house, she…”

“Miss Healer, I’m the butler of the Ye family. Our Second Miss injured her face, the Old Madam would like to invite you to help. Don’t worry about the payment, you can name your price.”

Before Lin Caisang could even ask her questions, she found herself surrounded by people.

Fortunately, Ya Molian reacted quickly and hurriedly pulled Lin Caisang into her arms, keeping her safe from the crowd that was about to drag her away.

Still, she frowned at the onslaught of people.
