Chen Xiaoyan cried injustice.
Although she was a bit flirtatious, it’s not like she fell in love with any woman she saw. She wasn’t a stallion that mounted anyone.
Mu Qingxue: “What? Nothing to say?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Ahem, let’s not talk about that. What I want to say isn’t this.”
Mu Qingxue: “Then what is it?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “I’m taking a day off tomorrow.”
Mu Qingxue: “???”
Mu Qingxue: “Yan Bao, even though the guild hasn’t had much going on lately, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to take leave every few days?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “I have something important.”
Mu Qingxue: “Tell me, what’s the big deal?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “I need to go to Kyo City tomorrow. Xiaoyue is in trouble.”
Mu Qingxue: “Hey hey, Liu Yue is a member of the Liu family. What trouble could she be in? You’re not taking leave to go have a couple’s retreat with her, are you?”
“I won’t allow it!!!”
“At least you have to take me along.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “I’m serious. No joke.”
Mu Qingxue: “Neither am I.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Xue-bao, you’re not cute anymore.”
Mu Qingxue: “Don’t give me that. I was never the cute type. No, don’t change the subject. Anyway, one word: if you want to go to Kyo City to find Liu Yue, I have to go with you.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Xiaoyue’s parents took away her game helmet, so she can’t log in.”
Mu Qingxue: “Does that have anything to do with you?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Yeah, her mom wants to meet me before she’ll give the helmet back to Xiaoyue. Qingxue, you know that if Xiaoyue stays offline for too long, she won’t be able to keep up with us, let alone the huge guild like Jian Ge waiting for her to manage.”
Mu Qingxue: “You’ve progressed to meeting the parents stage?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “What?”
Mu Qingxue: “I’m curious, how did you two develop? She’s never come to see you. Aside from chatting online, have you met in real life?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “No.”
Mu Qingxue: “So I don’t understand what’s going on between you two.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Maybe it’s love.”
Mu Qingxue: “Love your big head.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “That’s not right, Qingxue. Shouldn’t you be angry and scolding me harshly now? You’re focusing on the wrong thing.”
Mu Qingxue: “Enough, enough. What’s the use of me scolding you? If I scold you, will you stop liking Liu Yue?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Uh, that’s one way to put it. Look at other couples; if they see their partner in a relationship with someone else, they’d definitely be furious and threaten to break up.”
Mu Qingxue: “Tsk, do you think I’m stupid? If I quarrel with you, my flirtatious radish, and break up, that little internet celebrity and Liu Yue would be laughing to death.”
“I acknowledge that little internet celebrity and Liu Yue. If there’s a third person besides them, I’m telling you, Yan Bao, look up ‘golden house imprisoning a beauty’?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “This is a society ruled by law.”
Mu Qingxue: “Is that so? Baby, want to give it a try? (evil smile)”
Chen Xiaoyan: “(refusal)”
Chen Xiaoyan: “I’m glad you’re not angry. My Xue-bao is so reasonable and understanding. In my past life, I must have saved the world, no, the Milky Way, to have such fortune to meet you.”
Mu Qingxue: “Eww, are you being sappy?”
Mu Qingxue: “I’m not reasonable, nor am I understanding. If I had a choice, I definitely wouldn’t let you juggle three boats. But there’s no way, fate made me meet you, my flirtatious girl. Sigh, that’s life.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Hehe, Xue-bao, paster.”
Mu Qingxue: “Alright, alright, let’s talk business. When you go to Kyo City tomorrow, be careful. I’ll send someone to accompany you, to protect you on the way.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “No need, no need. It’s not ancient times. Public security in Huaguo is still pretty good.”
Mu Qingxue: “That’s true, but Yan Bao, just in case. I’ve noticed you have no idea how charming you are. Let me put it this way: sometimes I can’t help but want to make a move on you.”
“The security guards in your neighborhood are all retired special forces. They not only have the Red Faith, are highly skilled, but also resistant to female temptation.”
“Otherwise, how could I feel safe sending them to protect you?”
After reading Mu Qingxue’s words, Chen Xiaoyan fell into deep suspicion.
‘Is my charm really that exaggerated?’
She couldn’t figure it out, so she quickly ran to the bathroom and struck a few seductive poses in front of the mirror.
‘Her alluring figure was indeed tempting, but not to the point of enchanting all beings.’
‘Female streamers with good bodies and looks online could achieve that level.’
‘So Qingxue was definitely exaggerating.’
Mu Qingxue: “So, if you don’t care about your own safety, at least care about ours.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Whatever you say.”
She didn’t argue further. After all, Mu Qingxue was worried about her. And bringing two bodyguards wouldn’t cause much trouble. It could prevent accidents and also put their minds at ease.
Mu Qingxue: “That’s right. I’ll send someone over tonight. Have you bought your plane ticket?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Not yet. I just went to pick up the Qi sisters.”
Mu Qingxue: “So careless. I’ll have Yaoyao help you buy it.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Mm, thanks Xue-bao, mua~”
Mu Qingxue: “Keep it. I’ll come over another day and kiss you enough (evil smile).”
Chen Xiaoyan: “…”
Shortly after, Qian Renxue and the Qi sisters came back.
Qi Yun displayed her extraordinary cooking skills.
Yaoyao and she were equally matched in dishes. In terms of taste, Yaoyao was number one. If it was about home-style flavor, Qi Yun was number one.
Their cooking methods were different. Yaoyao had obviously received professional training, while Qi Yun hadn’t; she only had over a decade of experience. But both were equally delicious.
“Burp~”
Chen Xiaoyan, stuffed to the brim, lay on the sofa like a dead pig, not moving an inch.
New taste, new experience — she couldn’t help but eat a little more.
“I told you my sister’s cooking is top-notch.”
Qi You raised the corner of her mouth, her face full of pride and arrogance. One would think she had cooked the meal if they didn’t know better.
Chen Xiaoyan didn’t reply. She raised her hand and gave a thumbs up, expressing her opinion.
Qian Renxue was clearing the dishes from the dining table. Upon hearing Qi You’s words, a sense of competition arose in her heart.
She wanted to find an opportunity to compete with this Qi Yun to see who was the strongest chef in this neighborhood.
“Yaoyao jie, let me clean up.”
At that moment, a gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.
Qian Renxue turned around and saw Qi Yun had quietly come up beside her.
She shook her head, pretending to be displeased. “No need. I’ve always done these chores; it’s my job. Sister Qi Yun, you’re not trying to take away my job, are you?”
“Even work has days off. Tonight, let Yaoyao jie take a rest, and you can work hard again tomorrow.”
These words left Qian Renxue speechless.
The competitive spirit that had just arisen dissipated.
This girl really knew how to handle things. She was impeccable in dealing with others. It was hard not to like her.
“Alright, thank you for your hard work tonight.”
Qi Yun smiled calmly and shook her head. “It’s no trouble. If it weren’t for fear of delaying Yaoyao jie’s work, I would want to help every day.”
