Xi Xiaye was doubtful as she looked towards the direction he was staring at and saw two middle-aged men . One of them seemed to be around 50 years old . He was slightly chubby and looked rather energetic .
The other one…
Xi Xiaye looked closely and realized that he looked familiar .
With an average figure with a cold face, he emitted a calm and gracious aura . He was charismatic in his own way together with his pair of keen, eagle-like eyes . This man seemed around 40 years old and his handsome face was especially similar to a certain someone beside her!
The man glanced at Mu Yuchen for a brief moment, then he averted his gaze and focused on Xi Xiaye for quite a while . His pair of sharp eyes which were similar to Mu Yuchen's made Xi Xiaye feel uneasy .
She paused for a moment while Mu Yuchen clenched his fists as he held her hand . He nodded slightly at the man in front by way of greeting . Out of the blue, he was already dragging her towards the car before she could even react .
The middle-aged man turned around and looked at them . She noticed his piercing eyes soften for a moment . He even nodded and smiled kindly at her when their eyes met .
After a while, he turned his head around and continued the discussion with the other man beside him .
“Get in the car . I'll bring you for dinner!” Mu Yuchen ordered when he saw Xi Xiaye staring at the several people .
Xi Xiaye came back to her senses and realized that he had already opened the door for her before he headed towards the driver's seat .
“Mu Yuchen, that person just now was your…” Xi Xiaye mumbled a question as she stared at him when she got into the car, her eyebrows raised .
“You might be able to see him when we return to the Mu Residence in a few days . ” Mu Yuchen was about to start the car as he finished her sentence .
Xi Xiaye frowned and felt that something was not right with him . There was an odd sense of coldness from him and his expression seemed tired as well . She said quietly to him, “Maybe I should drive . ”
Mu Yuchen tilted his head and glanced at her, his eyes fixed on her left shoulder .
“It's fine…”
He laughed and straightened her messy windbreaker . “It's okay . You don't have to force yourself . Do you want to go anywhere in particular for dinner?”
Xi Xiaye was distracted for a moment, but she shook her head after a while . “The ones I usually visit are pretty far from here . It's pretty late already, so let's go home earlier . There's probably some ingredients left in the fridge which should be enough to whip up some noodles . ”
She was feeling tired after a long day and was not really fond of food outside . However, her cooking skills were not something she was proud of . The only thing she could cook well was…
“T-the instant noodles I cook are pretty tasty…”
She thought that he did not want to cook when he frowned, so she had forced that sentence out of her . Instantly, she regretted it!
Because Mu Yuchen was looking at her oddly with a strange grin which made her felt embarrassed, she took a peek at him and felt her cheeks getting warm . She turned her head away and looked outside the window .
“I see… My wife is trying to make us instant noodles for dinner . ”
Mu Yuchen's voice carried a certain charm as dark rays spread across his calm eyes . He looked over at her and said, “I'll satisfy your request and give you a chance to prove yourself tonight . I'll be your assistant . ”
He then turned on the music player before starting the car .
“But I think there're no more noodles at home…”
Xi Xiaye realized she was contradicting her own words . She should have just named him a restaurant and things would not have become this awkward…
“There's a market around the villa area . ” Mu Yuchen never really went to the market, but he noticed it since he drove past the area every day .
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath helplessly and put a hand on her forehead in regret .
After around 40 minutes, they bought all the ingredients at a supermarket around the Grand Waves Villa area . Xi Xiaye had also bought quite some fruits before the both of them went back to Maple Residence .
it was pitch black by the time they reached home . The clock on the wall showed that it was 8 p . m .
Xi Xiaye changed her shoes and tied her hair into a bun with a hairpin she took out from her handbag . Then, she walked towards the kitchen with the stuff .
Mu Yuchen came in with numerous bags in his hands . When he saw the clothes she had tossed on the sofa, he put the things away accordingly and hung her clothes .
In the kitchen, Xi Xiaye washed the tomatoes and vegetables . Just as she was about to cut the vegetables, she smelled a refreshing fragrance behind her . A large hand swiftly held her wrist and stopped her .
“You can boil the water first . I'll prepare the ingredients . ”
He cheekily poked her finger with the band-aid on . The light pain made her frown . She struggled and moved her hand away .
