The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Made Her Longevity Noodles_1

Three men, two adults, and one child, were now all covered in a drape of flour, with their faces, bodies, and hands all marked with white powder.

As for Amadeus Yancey, there was no need to mention him, a man of such attractive appearance could never truly look disheveled, and Lily, adorable as ever, the two were at most dusted with some flour.

The most tragic was Audrick Zachmann!

His usually cherished hair, that he wouldn’t let anyone touch, now looked like a bird’s nest, with flour caking it so that the dyed red streaks were hardly visible. His face and neck were covered with powder everywhere.

His suave image was completely destroyed!

Nathalie Quinlan twitched at the corner of her mouth, seriously doubting whether they had gone to the kitchen to make noodles or to blow up the kitchen.

Otherwise, this effect couldn’t have been achieved.

”Nathalie, you’re up?” Audrick Zachmann seemed unaware of his messy state as he excitedly carried a plate of noodles towards the dining table, quickly walking while also calling out to her, ”You got up just in time, the noodles are just out of the pot, steaming hot, come and try the flavor!”

At this moment, Amadeus Yancey also pushed Lily over, his devastatingly handsome face with its structured contours, deep-set eyes, and thin lips hooked in a telling arc, his voice low and magnetically alluring, ”Edric and I, along with Audrick, made you longevity noodles, since we’re making up for your birthday, you didn’t have cake, but at least having a bowl of longevity noodles counts.”

Nathalie could see in the three pairs of eyes watching her intently that they were filled with expectation and also tinged with a bit of cautious anticipation, knowing they certainly thought she hadn’t moved on from the day’s events.

She couldn’t help but massage her temples, feeling somewhat helpless but also very warm-hearted, ”Actually, you didn’t have to do this.”

She wasn’t the kind of person to dwell on a few words from others; she was just a bit upset at the moment and wanted some time alone.

After sleeping it off, she felt much better.

At least, she hadn’t continued to take to heart what the Quinlan family had said.

When Audrick Zachmann saw the calm expression on her snow-white profile and her clear, bright black eyes, he knew she indeed hadn’t taken Emilia Sullivan’s words to heart, and the anxiety that was suspended mid-air in his chest fell away for the most part.

He blinked his peach blossom eyes, pushed Nathalie into a chair, and placed the steaming bowl of noodles in front of her, saying cheerily, ”It’s not easy for my precious little sister to have a birthday. You definitely need to have the longevity noodles that everyone else has.”

”Quick, try the taste~”

Worried that the flavor might not be good, he shifted the blame in advance, ”The noodles were made by Amadeus, and he seasoned them too. Edric and I mainly just assisted him. If it doesn’t taste good, just eat a few bites to be polite; you don’t have to finish all of it.”

Alfred Garland, who had been quietly pouring water for Nathalie, twitched severely at the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

Why did he feel like Mr. Zachmann had been spending too much time with Amadeus and was getting increasingly bizarre?

...

Nathalie Quinlan had never before had longevity noodles,

And it was only after being seated by Audrick Zachmann that she saw the noodles in the bowl.

The fine noodles soaked in broth were sprinkled with finely chopped spring onions, exuding a fragrance of scallions, not spicy yet somehow very appetizing to the eye.

Just then, a pair of chopsticks were offered to her.

When she looked up, she was met with a deep gaze as if it could draw her in completely.

”I know you like your food with a bit of spice, but longevity noodles are always scallion oil noodles, so I didn’t add any chili for you. I specially learned how to make them, and the flavor should be quite good; want to give it a try?”

Lily was also looking at her with an expectant face.

Nathalie originally had no interest in noodles without chili, but she inexplicably took the chopsticks he handed to her, lowered her head, picked up some noodles, and tried a bite.
