Chapter 206: 209 Cuisine Current_1

Xiao Qingyu only watched his friend in silence, smiling without speaking. After all, they’ve been best friends from birth, so how could he not understand what was going on in his mind?

Wasn’t it just a simple squabble? Wasn’t he just feeling perplexed when he perceived that the woman didn’t like him? Felt like he lost face?

In a spousal relationship, just because two people are at odds doesn’t mean there is no love. Perhaps the feeling of love is even stronger. But if there’s no conflict at all, even if the husband is aware of his wife’s extramarital affairs and yet he feels nothing, then that is the greatest tragedy of marriage!

The classic ringtone of an iPhone rang, making someone’s expression tense.

After considering for a moment, Qin Muchuan eventually answered the call.

No sooner had he picked up, than he could hear her voice. It was timid but trying to sound casual. "Where are you?" she asked.

"At the office!" After Qin Muchuan said this, he then wondered why he bothered to lie about his location. What was the big deal about admitting he was at the Mahjong Hall?

Even if he admitted to be paying for sexual services, she really had no right to interfere, right?

Besides, he shouldn’t care about what she thinks, to begin with!

"When will you come home?" She tried to make her voice sound gentle.

"I’m not sure yet!"

"I want to talk to you..."

"I’m busy right now!" Qin Muchuan really didn’t want to say a word to her!

"If you’re busy, I’ll come to you so we can talk face-to-face," Lin Xiangwan inhaled deeply. She tried to sound negotiable but was actually threatening to him.

"I don’t think there is anything for us to discuss, and I’m really busy!"

"I’m at your doorstep!" she said flatly.

Qin Muchuan smirked. "Well, since you’re outside my office, you might as well keep waiting until I’m done with my work!"

Xiao Qingyu frowned at his friend, giving him a kick to stop him from speaking to his wife that way.

Although Qin Muchuan avoided the kick skillfully, Xiao Qingyu’s shoe tip still brushed against his pants.

Displeased, Qin Muchuan brushed off his pants, restoring their sleek, wrinkle-free look.

"Go find the mother of your child. Are you really going to let her wait outside your office?"

Qin Muchuan showed no intention of moving. "Fearless, isn’t she? It’s not an issue if she waits for me at my office!"

She could ruthlessly allow her husband, who had just woken up, to be in danger, what other risks wouldn’t she dare to take?

He firmly believed that she could manage on her own!

"Knock, knock, knock--"

Then came knocking at the door.

Thinking it was just an employee from the café, Qin Muchuan didn’t think much of it. "Come in!"

The door opened, revealing a beauty in a red skin-tight long dress, her black hair draped behind her.

Upon recognizing the visitor, Qin Muchuan, who had been sitting in a wicker chair, straightened up.

To Xiao Qingyu’s surprise, the woman was no other than Qin Muchuan’s wife!

Lin Xiangwan first acknowledged Xiao Qingyu with a nod, as a sign of respect. "I have something to discuss with him. Could you please leave us alone?"

Xiao Qingyu responded with a sly smile, appreciating her cool composure. "Of course, good luck!"

"Thank you!" Lin Xiangwan responded with an equally charming smile.

Putting on a thin coat, Xiao Qingyu then exited the private room.

With a ’click’, the door closed and only the two of them remained in the room.

Lin Xiangwan walked over to the round table, opened up the insulated lunch box, served the hot stewed beef along with a stack of rice. "You haven’t had any meals at home for a while. I guess you must be tired of eating out, right? This stewed beef wasn’t prepared by me, it was cooked by Butler Liu. You should eat it, otherwise, she’d be heartbroken!"

Not touched by this, Qin Muchuan stared at her with a puzzled look, the distance in his eyes apparent. "Who told you I was here?"

"Su Yueze..." Lin Xiangwan confessed honestly. "When I tried to call you, I knew you wouldn’t want to talk to me. So, I called Su Yueze instead and found out you were here."

Qin Muchuan recalled a moment when Su Yueze left for the bathroom. It must have been then when they had called!

"So, why are you here? You didn’t come here just to bring me food, did you?" Qin Muchuan’s voice was ice-cold, as if speaking to a stranger.

"I want to explain..."

"There’s nothing to explain. I know exactly what you’re thinking!" Qin Muchuan’s tone grew serious, a hint of displeasure wavering in his voice.

"Listen to me!"

"I’ve heard everything you’re going to say!"

"No, you haven’t!" Lin Xiangwan cried out anxiously. "I didn’t call the police the other day. I fainted on the street and was taken to the hospital by a kind woman. When I woke up, she probably had called the police on my behalf, claiming that I was sexually assaulted and abused!"

Qin Muchuan paused to ponder the validity of her story. "Really?"

Slowly approaching him, Lin Xiangwan suddenly became teary-eyed. "It couldn’t be less true. I was very happy that night. When I woke up the next morning and found you missing, I even called you, it was picked up by Su Yueze. He questioned me about what happened, and I told him~ that I am your wife, that I like you, that I enjoy sleeping with you, and I have absolutely no regrets about it!"

With teary eyes and a particularly aggrieved tone, she didn’t shed a tear, as she had forced herself not to. "You could check with Su Yueze if you don’t believe me, to confirm if this ever happened!"

Qin Muchuan nodded. "I will!"

"While you haven’t asked him, why not just finish the food?" Lin Xiangwan pointed to the lunch box on the table. "If you don’t eat it, then it would be a waste for me to bring it."

Actually after spending a reasonable amount of time together, she had discovered that he didn’t like eating restaurant food.

Moreover, Butler Liu said that every time after business engagements, he would always eat at home, even if what was left was just the children’s leftovers!

The rich aroma of the beef had already stirred the hunger in Qin Muchuan’s stomach and caused it to rumble.

"Fine!" Making it appear as if he was reluctantly agreeing, he picked up a spoon and started eating, alternating bites of vegetables and rice.

With red eyes, Lin Xiangwan smiled. Does this count as a good start?

As expected, Qin Muchuan was hungry. He wolfed down the food from the lunch box in no time.

Whether it was because of a full stomach or something else, his mood seemed to improve, he asked her directly. "How did you end up in the hospital?"

"I had a heat stroke!" Lin Xiangwan answered helplessly.

"Heat stroke?" Qin Muchuan shook his head in disbelief. "Could you come up with a better excuse? Do you realize what month it is? It’s not exactly heat stroke season, right?"

That day, Qin Muchuan had gone straight from the police station to the hospital, back then, what concerned him most was learning more about the charges of sexual abuse and related evidence.

Lin Xiangwan scrunched up her nose. "That morning when I woke up, my entire body was covered with your kiss and scratch marks. I was too embarrassed to wear thin clothes, so I put on a long-sleeved shirt and trousers. It turned out to be too hot..."
