It was a feast that night. Mu Yuchen prepared the al for Xi Xiaye anyway, so he made all of her favorite dishes.
She had been pretty tired lately and had even lost weight, so Mu Yuchen was quite worried about her. As a result, he decided to make her a lavish dinner.
Qi Lei was stunned to see a table full of delicious dishes. He gaped at Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye in surprise. He could not believe these were made by him, Master Mu!
Who exactly was Mu Yuchen?
The person controlling Glory World, the Master of the Mu family, always looked so elegant and distant. Now, he found out that the man could actually cook so well!
Qi Lei gave Mu Yuchen a long stare. Both of them ca from prestigious families. He was all too familiar with a carefree life since his mother, Wang Qin, never let him cook because she thought he would just ss up the kitchen.
Qi Lei then rembered that there were indeed so differences between them. He had joined the army with Su Chen and Zhou Zimo before. They were all very low-profile and rarely showed themselves in public. It was very rare to see them appearing at banquets or social events.
Zhou Zimo would still show up from ti to ti, but Mu Yuchen and Su Chen would never appear. Usually, Vice President Liu Lingyu or Zhang Lan would attend important events in his place.
While Qi Lei was the Vice President of Qi Kai, he did not really have any power. Of course, he would be the one attending these events, which was why he knew this very well.
“Mu Yuchen, you really surprise . No wonder...”
Looking at the feast before him, Qi Lei’s eyes wavered. His gaze seed like he was looking into sothing distant; one would wonder what he was thinking about.
Mu Yuchen prepared a glass of juice for Xi Xiaye. Then, he grabbed a bottle of whiskey and glanced at Qi Lei. “Is whiskey fine?”
Qi Lei ca back to his senses when he heard Mu Yuchen’s voice, and he nodded.
Mu Yuchen then poured a glass for himself and Qi Lei.
“Welco to Maple Residence.” Mu Yuchen raised his glass and prepared for a toast.
“My pleasure!” Qi Lei raised his glass as well.
Watching both of them, Xi Xiaye was reminded of them eting during the tender event. Things had almost gone haywire then, yet now the two of them seed to be friendly with each other. There was no sll of gunpowder in the air.
“Are you surprised about my sudden visit today?” Qi Lei took a sip of his whiskey, seeming pretty serious today instead of his casual self.
Mu Yuchen smiled as he put his glass down and made a gesture for Qi Lei to start eating. He then grabbed Xi Xiaye’s bowl and served her so soup.
Mu Yuchen was calm. He replied as he put the bowl of soup in front of Xi Xiaye, “Would you believe if I said that you knew you were going to have to look for sooner or later?”
Qi Lei nodded and laughed. “Of course, of course! That’s just the way you work. I’m sure you’ll just ignore and stay away if I don’t co up and talk to you face-to-face.”
Mu Yuchen lowered his eyes and gave him a smile. “You seem to know very well.” He then raised his glass and emptied it.
Xi Xiaye finally caught on. Qi Lei was here to et Mu Yuchen all along. It was no wonder he kept asking if Mu Yuchen would be around when they were on their way here. She thought he was being inconsiderate and wanted to be a huge third wheel between them!
“Not exactly, but I’ve thought a lot ever since we had dinner the last ti. I think we can forgo so of our past grudges now. I have sothing to talk to you about.” Qi Lei was clear about his intentions.
Mu Yuchen told him before that Gu Lingsha might be coming back and that he tried to get so information out of Wang Qin, but Wang Qin disliked Gu Lingsha a lot. His scandal with Xi Xiaye had just passed, so he did not want to cause a big fuss now. If he tried to investigate Qi Qiming now, the latter might notice and it would backfire on him.
After giving it so thought, the fastest way to acquire accurate information would be from Mu Yuchen. He knew that he had been investigating for five years, so he should know almost everything.
“We’ll talk later. Let’s enjoy dinner for now,” Mu Yuchen said calmly without looking at Qi Lei. He picked the chopsticks up and put so food on Xi Xiaye’s plate. He never liked to discuss business over als.
Qi Lei understood his intent, and his eyes darkened as he went deep in thought.
The two of them went quiet but the atmosphere was getting a little tense. Xi Xiaye glanced at both of them before saying, “Master Qi, have a taste of Mr. Mu’s cooking. Then, you’ll understand what standard he’s at.”
Qi Lei raised his eyebrows. He then rembered this woman held onto grudges easily. He put on a sly smile and glanced over at the pair of couple opposite him. “Thank you for having . I’ll enjoy myself.”
He then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
After just a taste, he gave Mu Yuchen a surprised look again. He then went on feasting.
Xi Xiaye smiled and glanced at Mu Yuchen. Two of them looked at each other in the eyes and smiled.
After the al, Xi Xiaye witnessed Qi Lei’s true talent. This guy was really good at eating!
While he ate very elegantly, he ate way too much. Xi Xiaye also noticed that the way he looked at her Mr. Mu was odd, so she grabbed his hand unconsciously. If any other people saw this, they might have thought Qi Lei was into Mr. Mu.
Xi Xiaye did not eat much and Mu Yuchen did not have a big appetite as well. Instead, most of the food went into Qi Lei’s stomach. In the end, only so soup was left.
Xi Xiaye would never understand why Qi Lei was eating that much. Was he was feeling happy hence the huge appetite?
Knowing that Mu Yuchen was serving him, he decided to co over for more als in the future. Free food was aweso!
How childish!
