"Alright!"
Jiang Yi told Natasha the ingredients he needed.
After Natasha wrote them down, she said goodbye and left the room.
Jiang Yi felt a bit sleepy and leaned back on the sofa to rest for a while, but he ended up falling asleep.
When he woke up, it was already around six in the evening.
Jiang Yi hadn't expected that he could sleep for so long.
Just then, the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.
Not long after, Natasha walked out with a towel wrapped around her body.
"Why are you showering in my room?"
Jiang Yi frowned.
"This is our room, so of course I have to shower here!"
Natasha chuckled, "I rented this suite specifically to live with you, so it'll be more convenient for me to learn from you."
After speaking, Natasha picked up the underwear from the sofa and prepared to change.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi quickly turned his face away.
When there was no more noise, Jiang Yi looked back at Natasha and saw that she had already changed into delicate underwear.
"You're wearing too little!"
Jiang Yi reminded her.
"This is how I usually dress at home!"
Natasha smiled.
Jiang Yi was a bit speechless, thinking how open-minded English women really were.
In China, no one would run around a room in such minimal clothing like Natasha, especially with an outsider present.
"Perhaps I'm too conservative!"
Jiang Yi sighed.
"Teacher, I'm hungry. When will you start making Chinese food? I want to learn how to cook Chinese food from you!"
Natasha asked with anticipation.
Natasha wanted to learn everything, even cooking.
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"
Jiang Yi said and headed straight for the kitchen.
Natasha quickly followed.
Jiang Yi began cooking while explaining to Natasha, who listened very attentively.
Before long, a mouth-watering aroma filled the kitchen, wafting out the window and attracting the attention of many people upstairs.
Natasha, in the kitchen, was practically drooling!
An hour later, Jiang Yi finished the meal and had Natasha bring it to the balcony to start eating.
Natasha had somehow procured a bottle of expensive red wine.
On the balcony, they enjoyed the delicious food while watching the sunset, feeling very comfortable.
"Knock knock!"
A knock sounded from outside the room.
"I'll get the door!"
Natasha said, leaving the balcony.
A short while later, Natasha walked onto the balcony, her arm linked with Barre's.
Seeing Barre arrive, Jiang Yi stood up from his chair.
"Lord Governor, hello!"
Jiang Yi greeted him.
"Hmm!"
The Lord Governor nodded, his sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Yi.
"Mr. Jiang, your abilities are truly astonishing. You are the most capable TCM practitioner I have ever met, and I am very satisfied with you being my daughter's teacher!"
"You flatter me!"
Jiang Yi replied humbly.
"From now on, my daughter will learn from you. I will pay you twenty thousand Eagle currency a month. I hope you will cultivate my daughter well, and I will reward you handsomely in the future!"
The Lord Governor stated.
"Lord Governor, please rest assured, I will definitely cultivate your daughter well!"
Jiang Yi said confidently.
With Jiang Yi's skills, he could train even a pig to excel, let alone Natasha, who possessed such incredible talent.
Cultivating Natasha would be an easy task for Jiang Yi.
"However, I must warn you, do not lay a hand on my daughter!"
"She is my most precious daughter, and her status and position are unquestionable. She is destined to marry into the royal family. If you have any improper thoughts, no matter how capable you are, I will make you disappear from this world!"
"As the Lord Governor of Simon State, it is very easy for me to make someone disappear from this world!"
Barre stared intently at Jiang Yi.
"I understand!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
Barre was overthinking it; he would never have any designs on Natasha. Although Natasha was indeed beautiful, Jiang Yi had no interest in her. He was a married man with children.
"I don't want to marry into the royal family. What's so good about marrying into the royal family? I'd have to follow royal rules every day. I just want to be free and do whatever I want."
Natasha said with displeasure.
"Marrying into the royal family is something many people dream of. It represents status and prestige, and our family will also prosper!"
"I've hired so many teachers to teach you and cultivate you precisely so that you can marry into the royal family and become a person of noble status! Even if you don't consider yourself, you must consider the family!"
Barre said with a frown.
"I'm not marrying anyway. If you want to marry, you marry!"
Natasha said coldly, "Leave. I don't want to see you again. Your affection for me all these years was fake; you just wanted to use me as a tool."
Hearing this, Barre became anxious.
"My dear daughter, you misunderstand!"
"I have never treated you as a tool for manipulation!"
Barre quickly explained.
Natasha turned her face away, ignoring Barre.
"Fine, do as you please! If you don't want to marry into the royal family, then so be it. I can't let my precious daughter suffer for the sake of family interests!"
Barre began to soften his stance!
Afterward, Barre started coaxing Natasha in various ways, making funny faces to cheer her up.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Yi could hardly believe his eyes.
Barre, who was usually feared as the Lord Governor, now looked like a comical old clown.
After appeasing Natasha, Barre noticed Jiang Yi standing nearby and immediately put on a stern expression.
"It smells so good!"
Barre glanced at the Chinese food on the table.
"My teacher made it himself. It's delicious!"
Natasha said.
"Oh."
Barre secretly swallowed.
In fact, Barre had already started salivating, but as the Lord Governor, he had to maintain his composure.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi smiled and invited, "Lord Governor, if you don't mind, please join us for a meal!"
Upon Jiang Yi's invitation, Barre immediately sat down and, after tasting it, was completely won over. He no longer cared about his image as the Lord Governor and began eating heartily.
"Lord Governor, shall I get you some water?"
Jiang Yi offered.
"Go ahead!"
The Lord Governor nodded.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, then turned and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water from the dispenser.
Just then, Dongfang Mei called, asking when Jiang Yi would return to the castle.
