Chapter 312: Chapter 310 Like Minds_1

When the contents of the plate were fully revealed in front of everyone, Su Wanxia frowned in surprised doubt as she looked at him.

Is this what he wanted?

He likes to eat this?

How come she didn’t know?

And... when did his taste become so strong?

Shanshan, the little girl, wrinkled her nose as she looked at Mu Yingchen beside her.

"Daddy? Isn’t this a duck egg? Why does it smell so bad?"

Mu Yingchen sighed inwardly, then smiled gently at her, "It’s meant to be eaten this way... the smellier it is, the tastier it gets."

Actually, he couldn’t accept the smell either, but to please the old master, he would endure it.

"Really? But the smell is so bad I can’t even eat my food," Shanshan said, staring at the plate of cut-up duck eggs, still wrinkling her nose.

Mu Yingchen gave a long "Hmm" and said, "You can pretend it doesn’t exist; that way it won’t affect your meal..."

No sooner had he spoken than everyone, except for the old Mr. Su, couldn’t stop the corners of their mouths from twitching.

Pretend it doesn’t exist?

With such a strong smell, how could you pretend it doesn’t exist?

Unless one lost the sense of smell, then you could really pretend it didn’t exist...

Old Master Mu watched everyone’s expressions, chuckling secretly to himself, thinking they should have sat farther away from his grandson if they didn’t want to be so close to that smell.

"Yingchen... uh... your mother doesn’t remember you liking this..." Mu’s mother said in a gentle tone, glancing occasionally at the dish in front of him.

"I tasted it by chance a while ago and thought it wasn’t bad. You all could try it too," Mu Yingchen said nonchalantly, even reaching out to lift the plate.

When his mother saw his movement, she immediately shook her head and waved her hands, "No, no, I’m not quite used to it..."

Mu Yingchen’s lips curved slightly as he turned to look at Su, the father and son duo.

"Grandpa, give it a try. It has a good texture..."

Upon hearing his words, old Mr. Su immediately laughed, pretending to disdain the item in the plate before saying, "Oh? Is it tasty?"

While voicing his skepticism, his chopsticks were already reaching into the plate, muttering, "I’ll give it a try..."

Mu Yingchen’s smile deepened, and he nodded gently, "I think it’s quite delicious."

Old Mr. Su picked up a piece and put it into his mouth with some expectation, nodding incessantly as he chewed.

"Mmm, not bad, not bad at all. It is quite delicious indeed."

As soon as he said this, everyone collectively broke out in a sweat!

Looking at the old master’s expression, he didn’t seem to be faking it. What was going on with these two, their tastes had become so heavy, they liked these stinky duck eggs?

Mu Yingchen pushed the plate closer to old Mr. Su saying, "If you like it, eat more..."

Old Mr. Su chuckled heartily, looking up with a smile, and then pointed at the plate and said to him, "You eat too, have some more..."

Mu Yingchen laughed softly, then reached out with his chopsticks again to take another piece and smoothly put it into his mouth.

Su Wanxia kept staring at Mu Yingchen, knowing very well what his tastes were. But when did they change, and how come she didn’t realize it?

And her grandfather had always valued dietary therapy, didn’t he? His picky palate was well-known!

Old Master Mu sat opposite Old Master Su, the two of them seemingly gazing at each other across a great distance.

Watching the thoroughly enjoyable expression on Old Master Su’s face as he ate, Old Master Mu couldn’t help but purse his lips.

Suddenly raising his head, Old Master Su noticed that everyone at the table was staring at him. His face flushed with embarrassment, and he finally felt a bit sheepish.

"Why are you all looking at me? Eat your food."

"Oh, haha, yes, eating, we’re eating." Mu’s mother forced a laugh and picked up the chopsticks in front of her.

To go along with Old Master Su, Mu Yingchen’s chopsticks kept reaching for the pungent-smelling plate of duck eggs.

He could handle one or two pieces, but eating more than that in one go was a bit too much for him to stomach.

Old Master Su was probably the most content person there. After so many years, he didn’t expect he could still enjoy such a nostalgic taste. It wasn’t easy at all...

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but look up at Mu Yingchen, "Kid, I didn’t expect our tastes to be so similar..."

When Mu Yingchen heard this, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth but still managed to smile without a change of expression, "Haha, yes, I also think our tastes and preferences are indeed quite aligned."

Upon hearing their conversation, a phrase suddenly popped into Su Wanxia’s mind: birds of a feather flock together!

That phrase really suited the situation between the two of them!

By the end of dinner, Old Master Su had a face full of smiles. The meal was much more to his liking than the one at noon.

Meanwhile, Mu Yingchen was on the verge of collapse. He had no idea how many of those things he had eaten. If he’d known, he would have asked the chef to reduce the quantity, so he wouldn’t have had to keep up with the old master’s relentless eating.

The others at the table also didn’t eat very smoothly, as there was always that whiff in their noses, making all the food taste as if it had been infected by the smell, so they all felt that this dinner was pure torture.

After the meal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Mu Yingchen himself, at last, his stomach could be at ease.

"Haha, I’m very happy today. It’s getting late; I will take Yaoyao and Shanshan back now," Old Master Su said, standing up from his seat like someone who had finished eating and was ready to leave.

"Old Master, while the kids are all here today, shouldn’t we discuss Yingchen and Wanxia’s wedding?"

Mu’s mother panicked upon seeing Old Master Su’s ready-to-leave demeanor and quickly stood up as well.

Old Master Su chuckled when he heard her, "A wedding? It seems that young man hasn’t proposed to Xiaxia yet, has he?"

Everyone brightened at his words. Was he loosening up?

Old Master Su’s meaning couldn’t have been clearer: how could they discuss marriage when that young man hadn’t even proposed to my granddaughter?

Mu Yingchen’s heart was thrilled. Finally, the old master was willing to give his blessing; it was worth having endured all those smelly duck eggs tonight!

Mu Zetian, having heard Su Qinglong’s words, curled his lip. He had heard that Yingchen had already proposed to Wanxia, and that girl had also agreed, but some hiccup had occurred, so it came to naught...

"Don’t worry, I will do it..." Mu Yingchen was beside himself with excitement. With the old master’s approval, his plan to get married on Qixi this year wouldn’t be ruined.

"Hmm, you young man, you’d better treat Xiaxia well in the future. Otherwise, neither you nor that sly old fox in your family will live in peace!" Old Master Su went on to involve Old Master Mu in his admonishment.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zetian became instantly so angry he puffed his whiskers and glared. He couldn’t understand why—If his grandson didn’t treat his granddaughter well, how did it suddenly become his, the old man’s, problem?
