"Dabai, Happy New Year." When An Yuanyuan saw someone approaching, she said with a smile.

The words "Happy New Year" struck his heart like a bolt of lightning, making him feel as if he were in another world. It had been a long, long time since he had heard someone say this blessing to him. Once upon a time, when his parents were still alive, every New Year, his mother would always gently say "Happy New Year" to him. At this moment, memories flooded into his mind, making him feel a little dazed.

However, he quickly recovered, a smile appeared on his face, and he also responded: "Happy New Year."

Bai Zimo looked at her smile and continued, "Why are you so interested today and come up with such a unique new way of eating? I smelled the tempting aroma at the door. I have been running around these days and haven't had a proper meal. Now I have to feast on it!" As soon as he finished speaking, he took the chopsticks handed to him by Qiu Shuang, skillfully picked up a piece of meat that had just been roasted by An Yuanyuan, and put it into his mouth.

In an instant, a gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Wow, it tastes really good!" That satisfied expression seemed to tell everyone that his love for this delicacy was beyond words.

Seeing that she was praised, An Yuanyuan was so happy that she showed a satisfied smile on her face and said proudly, "If it tastes good, eat more. I specially asked Chunyu to prepare a lot! I have been craving for something heavy-tasting these past two days, so I asked her to make these. It's a pity that Leng Aotian has been leaving early and coming back late these days, so he can't have this good fortune! But it doesn't matter, we can just enjoy the food ourselves!"

However, just as she finished her words, she heard a voice: "It seems that this king is still very lucky!"

It turned out that Leng Aotian walked in with a sullen face. Seeing this, An Yuanyuan immediately looked at him with a smile, but suddenly as if she remembered something, she deliberately made a little trouble, quickly suppressed the corners of her mouth that had just been raised, turned her head away and no longer looked at him.

Leng Aotian didn't care at all. He walked directly to An Yuanyuan and sat down. His big hands naturally rested on her waist and gently stroked her soft waist back and forth for a few times. Then he asked softly, "Who made my beloved concubine unhappy? Tell me, and I will punish him!"

"It's you!" An Yuanyuan glared at him coquettishly, her eyes full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

"Be good. I have indeed been busy with some trivial matters recently. Just wait for me in the house. After I have dealt with these things, I will definitely accompany you well." Leng Aotian coaxed the person in front of him in a soft voice.

An Yuanyuan stared at the man's slightly tired face, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. She reached out and gently stroked his cheek, and asked softly: "What happened? Why do you look so exhausted?"

Leng Aotian gently took her hand and held it tightly in his palm. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a relaxed smile: "Don't worry, I have the ability to handle all of this. Believe in me, I will be able to handle it soon."

"Yes, I believe it. But you have to be more careful too." An Yuanyuan nodded slightly, expressing her understanding and trust.

Seeing An Yuanyuan being so sensible and considerate, Leng Aotian's heart suddenly became extremely soft, as warm and pleasant as the warm sunshine in spring. The haze that had accumulated in his heart in recent days also dissipated most of it at this moment. He gently stroked her hair and praised softly: "What a good baby."

"Hey, hey, hey! Do you two pretend we don't exist? Could you please pay a little attention to the occasion? You're making it impossible for me to eat in peace." Bai Zimo couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled his eyes and complained helplessly.

"Even eating can't stop your mouth." Leng Aotian looked at Bai Zimo with cold eyes and said in a flat tone.

After saying that, he took the barbecue tongs from An Yuanyuan and began to grill the meat slices with concentration.

When An Yuanyuan found out that her task of "grilling meat" was taken over by someone else, she did not feel dissatisfied or unhappy. Instead, she happily tasted the grilled food with Bai Zimo.

"Wow, this mushroom tastes really good when grilled! Go get some more, we're almost done." Bai Zimo said to Chunyu while eating heartily. Chunyu nodded in response, then quickly stood up and went to the food collection area to get more ingredients.

Not long after, Chunyu brought back two large plates of fresh mushrooms.

"You are really enjoying your meal." Leng Aotian said to Bai Zimo with a hint of disdain. He saw that Bai Zimo was just talking but not eating, enjoying the food. He had originally intended to leave the barbecue for the little woman beside him. But now most of it went into Bai Zimo's stomach.

"After I heard the news about you, I didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed back immediately. What's the big deal about eating a few pieces of your barbecue?" Bai Zimo replied nonchalantly, and then urged: "Hurry up and grill it, we don't have any left to eat."

Leng Aotian silently put the roasted meat slices on the plate and handed it to An Yuanyuan, then stood up and made room for Bai Zimo, saying, "If you want to eat, roast it yourself."

"You think I can't do it?" Bai Zimo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, then strode towards the shelf, ready to show off his cooking skills.

He picked up the mushrooms and put them on the grill. However, in an instant, Bai Zimo, who was smiling just now, suddenly became alert. He quickly picked up the mushrooms he had just grilled, put them close to his nose and smelled them, and his face instantly became solemn. Then, he shouted to An Yuanyuan without hesitation: "Don't eat it!"

Leng Aotian reacted very quickly. Almost at the same time as Bai Zimo spoke, he snatched the plate of barbecue that he had just handed to An Yuanyuan. An Yuanyuan was about to put a mouthful of mushroom into her mouth, but when she heard Bai Zimo's call, she immediately stopped.

Leng Aotian frowned and looked at Bai Zimo sharply, as if waiting for him to explain further. Bai Zimo walked quickly to Leng Aotian, picked up the mushrooms on the plate in his hand, sniffed them carefully, and then said with certainty: "There is something wrong with this mushroom."

At this time, Chunyu heard the noise, she walked over quickly, picked up the mushroom and smelled it, and the next moment, she fell to her knees with a plop, her voice filled with panic: "Master, it was Chunyu who was negligent, please punish me."

An Yuanyuan gradually realized that the mushroom seemed to contain poison, but she firmly believed in her heart that it definitely did not come from Chunyu's hand.

Leng Aotian stared at Bai Zimo and asked, "What's in here?"

Bai Zimo replied calmly, "It's Luo Hui."

Upon hearing this, everyone except An Yuanyuan was shocked.

It turns out that Luohui is an extremely insidious chronic poison. Once taken, it will cause confusion, general fatigue, and eventually lead to a coma.

Obviously, the other party did not want them to die easily, but to torture them slowly.

"We have already eaten a lot just now..." An Yuanyuan's voice sounded with a slight tremor.

The big plate was almost entirely eaten by her and Bai Zimo.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with what happened just now." Bai Zimo's stern face didn't fluctuate at all. If there was really something unusual, with his keen insight, how could he not notice it?
