Chapter 278: What Are Your Hobbies, Miss Xu?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zheng Yuntong kept making happy eating noises in appreciation for the soup. She turned to say to Xu Moyan, “Moyan, can you tell what ingredients are in there? You can try making it at ho.”

Xu Moyan took another taste of it thoughtfully. She frowned slightly. “I’ll try my best, but I’ll still need to experint a few tis with it.”

“It’s okay. No matter how many tis you experint making it, I’ll help you clear the food,” Zheng Yuntong patted herself on the chest in promise.

“Miss Xu, are your culinary skills really good?” Wei Zilin suddenly asked. He seed to be interested.

For so reason, Xu Moyan felt that Wei Zilin had on an expression that said he could completely see through her.

She knew that Wei Zilin was a good friend of Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu. They spent ti together quite often.

However, Xu Moyan had never t any of those friends of Yan Beicheng. It had never crossed her mind to get to know them through Lin Chu. She did not know them well and did not know what to say to them. That was why she had always avoided them whenever she went to visit Lin Chu. Xu Moyan had visited Lin Yi once or twice but had never crossed paths with Wei Zilin.

This was the first ti they were eting with each other and she could hardly believe that they were sitting at the sa table, much less having a conversation.

“Um, I’m okay,” Xu Moyan said quietly. She felt a little nervous.

Zheng Yuntong, however, got excited on her behalf. “Boss, you usually don’t follow those online celebrities on Weibo. You should know that Moyan has quite a bit of following. She has an account that teaches people how to cook. She takes videos of her cooking and uploads them on Weibo. She even posts the ingredients and cooking steps online. It’s quite a refreshing thing to watch.”

Zheng Yuntong clicked on her Weibo and showed the main page of Xu Moyan’s account to Wei Zilin and Shen Zongyi. “Look at this. This is the account I was talking about. My tastebuds are having a good ti living with Moyan. She is the one that usually cooks and I’m in charge of eating. During working days, it’s much too rushed to do any elaborate cooking after work, so she would cook up two simple dishes. She would have more ti to experint with new recipes and culinary skills during the weekend, and later upload them online.”

Xu Moyan had the urge to cover up Zheng Yuntong’s mouth and stop her from talking.

“It’s just playing around with it because I’m bored. I need to cook anyway, so it’s just convenient to do so,” Xu Moyan explained in embarrassnt.

“Then why don’t you learn from her?” Zheng Zongyi drank a mouthful of soup and gave Zheng Yuntong a look that seed like he was reproaching her.

“I tried my best before. I just don’t have the talent,” Zheng Yuntong shrank back as she said weakly.

Shen Zongyi laughed lightly. “Well, you do look like soone who eats a lot.”

Zheng Yuntong’s face flushed red. She knew she was a foodie, but it was still embarrassing for soone to point it out to her.

Xu Moyan looked back and forth between them. Her attention was now focused on them and she did not notice Wei Zilin looking at her with a very slight smile.

“I can bear witness that she doesn’t have any talent in cooking. Knowing the good stuff and making them are two completely different things. It won’t matter as long as her future better half knows how to cook. At ho, I’m in charge of the cooking and Yuntong is in charge of cleaning the dishes,” Xu Moyan said. She had a smile on her face that seed to suggest that there was more she had to say in her words.

“Mr. Shen, do you know how to cook?”

Zheng Yuntong, “...”

She quickly poked Xu Moyan under the table. Xu Moyan could almost see a paper-thin barrier between them. It could easily be broken by a slight touch, yet none of them were willing to take the first step in breaking down that barrier. It was so frustrating to watch them this way.

Shen Zongyi played around with two decorative seashells on his plate. He gave a light laugh. “Yes, I do. I’m quite good at it.”

“Well, isn’t that wonderful?” Xu Moyan said happily as she continued drinking her soup.

Zheng Yuntong, “...”

What did she an by wonderful? What was so wonderful about it?!

“What are your hobbies, Miss Xu?” Wei Zilin suddenly asked. He had been sitting quietly for a while as he watched the whole exchange. Xi Moyan wondered if it was because of the soothing soup that made his voice sounded especially sweet and clear to the ears.

Even though she was still suspicious about it, she did not dare to confirm that Wei Zilin and Yu Linling were the sa. Her head was still lowered, and she did not look at Wei Zilin. She could hear his voice and Xu Moyan could no longer deny it. It was the sa as Yu Linling.

Xu Moyan was especially unsettled with the voice of her idol coming from right in front of her without any barriers between them. The clear, magnetic voice went straight to her heart. It felt like many fingers had appeared to gently tickle her on the heart.

Xu Moyan’s hands trembled and she dropped her spoon into the bowl. She nearly choked on the soup she had just swallowed and her faced went red as she coughed.

Zheng Yuntong imdiately got her a glass of water and patted her back. “What’s going on with you?”

Xu Moyan gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. Her throat felt a little uncomfortable and she could not speak. Her face flushed so red that it was hard to tell if it was because of her coughing, or her embarrassnt, or she was just feeling shy.

She shook her head wordlessly to show that she was fine.

Xu Moyan did not dare to look at Wei Zilin. She was so embarrassed by what had just happened.

She wished she could disappear right now. It would be better than being stared at by Wei Zilin.

Unfortunately, Wei Zilin could not read her thoughts. Xu Moyan saw fair, slender fingers reach out from under her eyes. Between the structurally beautiful fingers was a clean piece of white tissue. The skin on the fingers was only slightly darker than the tissue was. The fingernails were tidy and clean. She could even see the flesh at the tip on the fingernails. They were cut so perfect that there was not a trace of white that was reminiscent of slightly longer fingernails. There was no dust in the nails, and she could see a healthy, bright, pinkish color in the fingernails.

It looked so clean that no matter what those pairs of hands handed to you, you would never say no.

“You can wipe with this.” The long fingers shook the tissue between them as Wei Zilin’s soft, warm voice spoke again.

Xu Moyan took the piece of tissue robotically. She was careful not to touch his fingers. Even then, she could feel herself heating up from her fingertips, all the way to her head.

Wei Zilin’s voice sounded like it ca from right above her forehead. It gave her a numb, buzzing feel on the head.

“Thank you,” Xu Moyan said quietly. She sounded so soft, unlike her usual boyish and open self.

Even Xu Moyan herself was shocked by this. How was it possible that she had sounded so soft, with such an affectionate sounding tone?!

She did not dare to look at Zheng Yuntong, who had a teasing look in her eyes.

Xu Moyan quickly dabbed the water off the side of her lips. The tissue seed to have absorbed the pleasant sll of the opposite sex that ca from Wei Zilin.

Xu Moyan almost pocketed the tissue so she could take it ho to keep.

She shocked herself for having this sudden thought and rembered the string of embarrassing things she had just done. Xu Moyan kept her head hanging low and no longer felt like drinking the soup. This was just a simple lunch, how did it beco so difficult to get through the al?

The waiter approached the table at that mont to remove the soup and serve the main course. Xu Moyan’s bowl was still half full.

The waiter bent over slightly and asked in a low voice, “Miss, do you want to clear the soup?”

“Oh, I don’t want it anymore. You can clear it,” Xu Moyan replied quickly. She no longer wanted to continue having it, in case she did sothing stupid again.

When the soup was cleared away, all four of their steaks were served.

Xu Moyan had ordered a truffle steak, Zheng Yuntong’s was beef ribs.

No one at the table spoke as they were about to eat. Xu Moyan, however, felt like soone was staring at her. She blinked and lifted her head.

She looked straight into Wei Zilin, who was looking at her. He had a look on his face that said, ‘I am waiting for you to answer my question’.

Xu Moyan, “...”

She had assud there was no need to answer it since they were interrupted!

What was the question he had asked?

Oh, her hobbies.

Xu Moyan felt that Wei Zilin was referring to sothing with this question.

“I don’t have many hobbies. I usually just watch so dramas and listen to music,” Xu Moyan did not think she was lying at all.

Watching dramas was the sa as listening to radio plays and listening to music was referring to listening to music on YY. It was the sa.

Wei Zilin seed to have thought of sothing and gave a short, quiet laugh. He lowered his head to cut his steak.

Xu Moyan’s body went weak. She wanted to request the Great Lord Wei to stop laughing whenever he wanted to. His laugh may be casual, but did he know how seducing it sounded?!

Xu Moyan nearly dropped her knife and fork as she willed herself not to lunge eagerly at Wei Zilin.

Even if Wei Zilin was not a handso man, his voice alone was enough for Xu Moyan to worship him for life.

Zheng Yuntong watched the exchange wide-eyed. She looked at Xu Moyan and secretly glanced at Wei Zilin. For so reason, she felt like there was sothing going on between the two.

Zheng Yuntong picked up a piece of beef ribs from her plate with her knife and fork and placed them onto Xu Moyan’s plate. Xu Moyan stared blankly as Zheng Yuntong said, “Moyan, give a piece of your steak. I’d like to try it.”

“Oh, sure,” Xu Moyan cut off a piece for Zheng Yuntong.

Shen Zongyi picked up the tall glass on his table as he drank the non-alcoholic sparkling drink in it. When he placed it down, his long fingers slid down along the shape of the glass and landed on the table. He drumd his fingers.

His long eyelashes covered his lowered eyelids as his gaze fell onto the plate that laid opposite him. After a while, he picked up his knife and fork and started to cut up his crispy short ribs. He slowly took a bite and looked like he was enjoying it trendously.

He looked up again and as expected, Zheng Yuntong was watching his plate curiously. She wanted to know what his plate of crispy short ribs tasted like.
