His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 71

Chu Mubei replied shamelessly, “No, I want to stay here and eat the food cooked by Little Sister Shi Guang.”

He twisted his head in the direction of the kitchen. “Look at Little Sister Shi Guang…How wonderful is she! Not only is she pretty, she knows how to cook as well. Well, don’t be so stiff to the situation anymore and forget about your ex quickly. After all, you guys have broken up for such a long time already. I’m telling you that if you really don’t like her, then I’m going for her for real.”

But of course, Chu Mubei was just saying it casually. What sort of a person was Lu Yanchen? For her to be able to get into his house and even cook a meal for him, Chu Mubei wouldn’t believe that there was nothing going on between them even at the cost of his life.

Couldn’t be bothered with Chu Mubei any longer, Lu Yanchen stood up and walked away. However, he did not walk too far away, merely sitting at his bar table to look at stocks using his laptop.

It didn’t take long before Chu Mubei snuck over as well. “So, which stock have you been eyeing recently? Say, Old Lu, your foresight is so sharp. You should really just switch careers…”

…

Using her fastest speed, Shi Guang prepared four dishes and a soup: Pickled Vegetable Fish, Sweet and Sour Ribs, Braised Eggplant, Stir-Fried Lotus, and a Tomato Chicken Egg Soup.

Even though they were simple homecooked fare, they looked really amazing and had a fragrant aroma.

The alluring scent pounced into their noses as Chu Mubei bolted up, his eyes burning with fire. “Little Sister Shi Guang, I’ll help you with the utensils and rice!”

While the expression on Lu Yanchen’s face was the same, his eyes turned colder than ice.

“You, sit down!” It was only after that order was given that he realized what he had just said.

Stunned for a moment, Chu Mubei then sniggered out knowingly, “Alrighty then! You go help her!”

An unnatural look flashed by this cold and aloof Young Master Lu’s face as he turned around, intending to head toward the kitchen. But when he raised his head and caught sight of that girl in her apron who was bringing over the rice, he froze up suddenly, thinking about how familiar this scene looked in his eyes.

Wanting to enter initially, he suddenly snapped back to his senses and merely sat down at the dining table just like Chu Mubei.

Bewildered, Chu Mubei asked, “Aren’t you going to help Little Sister Shi Guang?”

Shooting a cold glance at him, Lu Yanchen replied viciously, “She isn’t an illegitimate daughter that your father had outside. Don’t come addressing her as you wish to just because you feel chummy with her…You guys aren’t close at all!”

Drinking some water at the moment, Chu Mubei nearly spat it out.

He then roared out in laughter—these two were really way too similar even in the way they rejected him!

Bringing out the food, Shi Guang saw a complete contrast where one was laughing as though the entire skies were toppling over while the other was cold as ice. Putting down the rice for them, she went to bring the soup over as well.

There were only two sets placed on the dining table as Chu Mubei smirked while looking over at Shi Guang. “Little Sist…”

Afraid that this little petty Lu Yanchen would get jealous, Chu Mubei kept his words from earlier on and continued, “Come sit down and have your meal too.”

Shi Guang shook her head, “There’s no need.”

“Why not?” Chu Mubei furrowed his brows, “Is it because I’m too handsome that you’re afraid you might fall in love with me after the meal?”

Shi Guang’s lips cramped up—this guy was truly narcissistic.

She WAS hungry and did want to eat as well. However, she decided to forget it; eating with Lu Yanchen would be extremely uncomfortable.

Taking off her apron, Shi Guang wanted to just walk away when Lu Yanchen spoke up, “Sit down!”

Those two words were authoritative, causing her to halt in her steps. She looked at that man who let out a distant expression.

“If you leave, who’s going to wash up the dishes later on?”

Chu Mubei let out a curious expression beneath his eyelids before sniggering out at Shi Guang, “Shi Guang, hurry and go get your rice.”

She hesitated for a moment before returning to the kitchen. ‘Fine, I’ll eat then. I’d be a fool if I didn’t have the meal anyway.’

Chu Mubei lowered his voice at Lu Yanchen, “Say, Old Lu, you clearly just want her to stay for the meal. Yet, you want to put it as though you need someone to wash the dishes. You’re not going to get a girlfriend this way.”
