The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 274: Chapter 273: Almost Like Love

However, Ye Jinwen did not see any of Lu Mian’s flamboyant moves, only witnessing the girl pick up the chopsticks from the table and spin them around her fingers several times.

She even nodded seriously.

“That makes sense.”

Ye Jinwen: “…”

Being proved wrong came like a tornado; he truly did not understand the thought processes of a big shot.

In the midst of this conversation, the waiter knocked and entered.

The preparation of steamed bass is not complicated and doesn’t take long, so it was served quickly.

The waiter meticulously arranged the dish and bowed out respectfully.

Lu Mian, not adept at entertaining guests, simply said, “Eat it while it’s hot.”

However, the other three men, without needing her urging, all actively picked up their chopsticks.

The aroma of the steamed bass, from the moment they entered, had captivated everyone’s sense of smell and taste; it was fresh without being fishy, appetizingly fragrant, instantly whetting the appetite.

Ye Jinwen, eager with his chopsticks, exclaimed, “This truly lives up to Wucheng’s top-notch dining establishments; the flavor has taken up residence on my taste buds!”@@novelbin@@

Xiao Qimo was also in a good mood, feeling hungry now even though he was not before. He handed the burger previously on his plate to Lu Mian, “It’s your favorite.”

Lu Mian tilted her head in surprise, said thanks, and happily took it.

Xiao Qimo wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he thought he saw a different expression on Lu Mian’s face, one with more emotion than her usual cool demeanor.

Feeling quite pleased, he first picked for her the most tender slice of fish from the belly, where the bones were fewest, before he began eating himself.

On the other side, Ye Jinwen was already thoroughly enjoying his meal, praising while he ate, “Little Mianmian, if I had known your restaurant had such a fantastic dish, I would have ordered it a long time ago!”

“Delicious!” Iron Block Man Mo Nie was thoroughly convinced as well.

At that moment, the waiter knocked to deliver a few more dishes. But no matter how many more dishes arrived, they could not overshadow the delicious steamed fish; only the fish existed in Ye Jinwen’s eyes.

After several mouthfuls, he didn’t forget to ask the waiter, “Excuse me, could you make another portion of the steamed bass for me? I want to take it home!”

The waiter uttered an “ah” and shook his head with difficulty, “I’m sorry, sir, this fish… was personally made by our boss, and there is only one portion.”

“????”

All three men stopped using their chopsticks and turned in unison to look at Lu Mian, who was eating her burger methodically.

Ye Jinwen’s mouth formed an O shape: “That can’t be true…”

“Hmm, what’s so impossible about it?” said the girl nonchalantly.

“Of course!” In his mind, Lu Mian was not the ‘good wife and mother’ type at all; she was the cool, amazing big shot type!

The big shot could actually cook? And the food was deliciously good?!

Mo Nie was just as shocked: he was moved to tears by the taste.

This was probably going to be the best meal he would have for a long time…

Truth be told, he was full of regret; he really didn’t want to go to F Continent!

“Did you make it specially?”

“Yeah… I made it just because I felt like it.” Lu Mian spoke indifferently, averting her eyes from the somewhat intense gaze next door.

Xiao Qimo finally understood why Lu Mian had taken so long, and thinking of the reason behind it, he couldn’t help the joyful upward curl of his lips, as a hearty and pleased laugh escaped from his throat.

The little rascal had personally made him a meal!

The joy he felt was apparent to Ye Jinwen, who clicked his tongue. One traveled thousands of miles to bring back a burger, the other cooked a gourmet meal with her own hands; the actions of the pair were more or less… what you’d call love, right?

But unfortunately, dog food is not as tasty as steamed fish.

As he silently reached for another delicious piece of fish with his chopsticks, he became aware of a sudden chill nearby, menacing with a hint of warning. Ye Jinwen shuddered.

His chopsticks veered off course and ended up picking a piece of cold cucumber salad instead.

Oh, how unfeeling, cruel, and unreasonable some men can be!

Eating all by themselves!

The meal was very “pleasant,” with Ye Jinwen and Mo Nie leaving early, each having matters to attend to.

Xiao Qimo went to the restroom.

Lu Mian was the last to close the door upon leaving, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the trash can in the private room. Inside it lay a discarded burger takeaway bag.
