Chapter 546: Free Meal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was a feast that night. Mu Yuchen prepared the meal 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 came 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 mess up the kitchen.
Qi Lei then remembered that there were indeed some 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 time to time, 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 me. No wonder…”
Looking at the feast before him, Qi Lei’s eyes wavered. His gaze seemed like he was looking into something 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 came 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.
“Welcome 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 meeting during the tender event. Things had almost gone haywire then, yet now the two of them seemed to be friendly with each other. There was no smell 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 some soup.
Mu Yuchen was calm. He replied as he put the bowl of soup in front of Xi Xiaye, “Would you believe me if I said that you knew you were going to have to look for me 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 me and stay away if I don’t come up and talk to you face-to-face.”
Mu Yuchen lowered his eyes and gave him a smile. “You seem to know me very well.” He then raised his glass and emptied it.
Xi Xiaye finally caught on. Qi Lei was here to meet 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 time. I think we can forgo some of our past grudges now. I have something 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 some 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 some 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 some food on Xi Xiaye’s plate. He never liked to discuss business over meals.
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 remembered 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 me. 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 meal, 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 some 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 come over for more meals in the future. Free food was awesome!
How childish!
