177: Chapter 177 Staying in One Room for One Night Update (2)_1 177: Chapter 177 Staying in One Room for One Night Update (2)_1 Qin Mu’s lips curled in a disdainful sneer, a shallow smirk playing on his face, as he provocatively looked over at Gu Mo Chen, feeling a burst of irritation within.

He always had the nagging feeling of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

All along, his attention had been focused on Han Si Ming; he never expected Gu Mo Chen to be the big boss lurking in the background.

Shit, had he known earlier, the one he should have been guarding against from the start was Gu Mo Chen.

…

Exquisite dishes were placed on the table, each one of them a delicacy.

Rarities from the mountains and seas, abalone.

But Jian Ran had little appetite, her main concern naturally being her own Little Tang Bao.

She wondered what Tang Bao was doing at Auntie Li’s, whether she missed her, or if she was still watching Tfboy’s concert videos.

“Mr.

Gu, Mrs.

Gu, please try this, the chef was brought in from Beijing, and he’s best at imperial cuisine.”

“And this Western chef has been brought in from France, if you don’t like it, we’ll remove it and bring in something new.”

Gu Mo Chen’s lips twitched slightly as he watched the Qin patriarch introduce everything with eagerness, responding faintly.

No matter how delicious, no matter how expensive the dishes were, they couldn’t compare to Jian Ran’s home-cooked meals.

Ever since eating the food Jian Ran had made, his palate had indeed become picky, unable to enjoy any other mountain rarities or seafood delicacies.

So, that saying did hold some truth: a woman who conquered a man’s stomach, really did capture his heart.

“Ran girl, this is your favorite pickled bamboo shoot tips, try it.”

Seeing the servant bring over Jian Ran’s favorite pickled bamboo shoot tips, Qin Mu immediately served some to Jian Ran.

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes sparkled, indeed it was her favorite pickled bamboo shoot tips.

When she was young, whenever she played at the Qin Family’s house, she always clamored for it.

Because she always thought the Qin Family’s version tasted the best, wondering if they had some exclusive secret recipe that made it taste so fresh and sweet.

Thinking back, it had truly been a long time since she last had it.

“Okay.”

Jian Ran’s lips curled up in a faint arc, then she bowed her head and ate the bamboo shoot tips Qin Mu had served her, taking small bites.

Gu Mo Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

These bamboo shoot tips, were they something Jian Ran liked to eat?

The Qin patriarch as well as Qin Mu’s father and mother felt somewhat embarrassed.

Jian Ran was Gu Mo Chen’s wife, Mrs.

Gu, so what did it mean for Qin Mu to serve her food so proactively?

“All right, Qin Mu, eat your own food…”

“Elder Qin, what we have here is chivalry, consideration, and care.”

As he said this, Qin Mu provocatively looked at Gu Mo Chen sitting across from him and countered.

“Mr.

Gu, you and Ran girl have been married for over two years now.

Do you know what she likes and dislikes eating?”

Gu Mo Chen: “…”

Here came the provocation again.

Gu Mo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly; he and Jian Ran had indeed been married for more than two years, but the actual time they spent together was just a short two months.

It was indeed challenging for him to figure out what Jian Ran liked and disliked eating within such a brief span.

After all, their interactions had been too limited.

And going by Jian Ran’s nature, always elusive and deliberately avoiding him.

Jian Ran, hearing Qin Mu say this, was so startled that her hand trembled slightly, and she quickly grabbed a meatball and stood up to stuff it into Qin Mu’s mouth.

“Qin Mu, eat your favorite meatball, not even eating shuts you up.”

“Ran girl, I knew you know what I like, taking care of me, mmm, this meatball, I really like it a lot, the taste is excellent.”
