Seeing Mo Xiuyuan's hesitation, Qiao Shinian said, "If the matter you have to deal with is not urgent, just stay and eat before leaving."

Mo Xiuyuan had something to deal with, but he hadn't seen Qiao Shinian in these days, and he was a little reluctant to leave.

Just as he was about to nod, Qiao Shinian spoke again, "Last time in the hospital, didn't you brag that your cooking was delicious and show us your skills?"

The provocation method strengthened Mo Xiuyuan's determination to stay.

Rolling up his sleeves, he chose to prove on the spot that he was not bragging.

Aunt Wang respected Mo Xiuyuan as a guest and did not really give him all the cooking work. Apart from letting Mo Xiuyuan prepare his specialty dishes, Aunt Wang prepared the rest of the dishes herself.

After working for a long time, Mo Xiuyuan made a pan-fried orange peel and pepper fish and brought it out.

Song Man wisely went to the kitchen to help.

Mo Xiuyuan placed the dishes in front of Qiao Shinian.

The Longli fish was fried to a golden color, with some chopped nuts sprinkled on top, and green vegetable leaves were placed on the side of the plate for decoration. First of all, it was full of looks.

At Mo Xiuyuan's signal, Qiao Shinian couldn't wait to take a bite.

Longli fish combines the aroma of orange peel and chili powder. It has both fresh fruity aroma and fishy aroma. Several flavors stimulate the taste buds and are very delicious.

In order to catch Huo Yanci's stomach, Qiao Shinian once learned how to cook some home-cooked dishes, but compared to what Mo Xiuyuan cooked, she felt that she was slightly inferior.

Seeing Qiao Shinian's obviously shocked expression, Mo Xiuyuan was a little arrogant, "Am I bragging?"

Qiao Shinian complimented, "Of course not, it's very delicious. It's just that I'm ignorant and underestimated Mr. Mo's strength. I think I can give it full marks!"

When Aunt Wang took the phone to the restaurant, Huo Yanci on the other end of the video saw the scene in front of her.

There was a plate of brightly colored dishes on the dining table. Qiao Shinian kept the chopsticks in his hands and praised Mo Xiuyuan's cooking skills with joy, while Mo Xiuyuan's face was full of pride and satisfaction.

"Miss Qiao, sir, no one answered your video, so he sent it to me!" Aunt Wang handed the phone to Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian's beautiful and tender face appeared on the screen, with a smile that had not been completely suppressed in her big moist eyes, "What do you want from me?"

Huo Yanci looked at ease, "I wanted to ask you if you want to drink iced milk tea at room temperature at first. You didn't answer the video, so I bought one cup each. Now I'm at the barbecue restaurant at home, what do you want to eat?"

As he spoke, Huo Yanci pointed the camera at the pile of ingredients.

Qiao Shinian frowned. Why did Huo Yanci buy her milk tea and barbecue?

No, what Huo Yanci means is that he wants to come find her now?

Suddenly, she remembered what Aunt Wang had not finished saying when she came in. Did she want to say that Huo Yan would come for dinner?

"I want to eat the food cooked by Aunt Wang. Is it convenient for me to go there and have a meal?" Huo Yanci confirmed her idea.

Qiao Shinian glanced at Mo Xiuyuan in front of him and said to Huo Yanci, "It's not very convenient. Please bear with it for one more day. I will ask Aunt Wang to go back tomorrow."

Huo Yanci gave up, "Then I won't bother with the meal. Aunt Wang will leave it to you. I'll send you the milk tea now."

Qiao Shinian said, "No, I'm giving up milk tea. You can throw it away."

After saying that, Qiao Shinian ended the video call.

Aunt Wang had already returned to the kitchen, and Qiao Shinian put her mobile phone on the dining table.

He raised his head and looked at Mo Xiuyuan. Before he could speak, Mo Xiuyuan's phone rang. It was his subordinate asking him about the meeting.

In order to achieve results during the expedition, Mo Xiuyuan has recently increased his workload a lot, and working overtime and meeting is the norm.

"Nian Nian, I'm going back to the expedition first."

Mo Xiuyuan put away his phone and didn't ask any more questions about Huo Yanci just now. "Remember to send me an invitation letter to the opening ceremony."

Qiao Shinian nodded, "Okay."

……

After hitting a soft nail with Qiao Shinian, Huo Yanci walked to his car.

Before getting into the car, he glanced at the two tightly packed cups of milk tea in his hands and lost his concentration.

"Mr. Huo?"

At this time, a sweet voice sounded.

Huo Yanci turned his head and saw Li Shuyan holding the kitten.

"It's really you!" Li Shuyan was a little surprised, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you had something important to do and postponed the dinner with my dad?"

Huo Yanci said succinctly, "A little personal matter."

Li Shuyan looked at the milk tea in his hand, "Wow, Mr. Huo also likes to drink milk tea? This is Haicheng's famous fresh fruit milk tea, and you usually have to wait in a long line to buy it!"

Huo Yanci did not answer her, "If Miss Li has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

"Mr. Huo, we just met, let's have a chat!"

Li Shuyan winked cutely, "I know you and Uncle Huo are having a bad time because of our marriage. Maybe we can discuss countermeasures together!"

Huo Yanci said directly, "I don't know how to get married."

"The same idea as mine," Li Shuyan said, "I went to see Miss Qiao two days ago about this matter!"

"Mr. Huo, this barbecue restaurant in front is very good. I came here today without even having dinner. How about you treat me to a barbecue and we can talk while eating?"

Because the two elders were close and had business cooperation, Huo Yanci and Li Shuyan would eat at the same dinner party several times.

Now that she mentioned Qiao Shinian, Huo Yanci did not refuse.

Before going to the barbecue restaurant, Huo Yanci handed the milk tea to the driver and said quietly: "Buy a few more cups and take them to Mingyue Garden."

The driver nodded in agreement, and Huo Yanci walked towards the barbecue restaurant.

Li Shuyan glanced at the milk tea in the driver's hand with a smile, followed Huo Yanci with Xiaoqi in her arms.

The environment and service of this barbecue restaurant are top-notch. All ingredients are imported. After placing your order, a dedicated chef will grill it freshly. The people who come here to consume are naturally more sophisticated people.

When someone saw Li Shuyan holding a kitten that was obviously a string, their eyes showed disgust, "It's really ignorant that a wild cat can be used as a treasure."

Although the voice was low, Li Shuyan was able to hear it.

Li Shuyan immediately became angry, "What's wrong with the wild cat? It's also the best and most precious in my eyes!"

The woman sneered, "Hold the wild cat and go to where you should stay. Don't pollute the environment here."

"You!" Li Shuyan's face turned red with anger.

"Please find us a room upstairs." Huo Yanci said.

The waiter naturally complied, but the woman who had just ridiculed Li Shuyan reluctantly silenced her voice after seeing Huo Yanci's strong aura.

Soon, the waiter led Huo Yanci and Li Shuyan to a slightly quiet dining table on the second floor.

Huo Yanci asked Li Shuyan to take the order.

Li Shuyan was not polite and ordered everything she wanted to eat and the ones with novel and special names.

The waiter said that pets can be temporarily stored. Li Shuyan rubbed Xiaoqi's head and said, "Then we have to separate for a while. Don't worry, I will pick you up later."

After saying that, she took out a box of canned cats from her bag and asked the waiter to feed it to Little Thorn.

After finishing this, Li Shuyan looked at Huo Yanci, "Mr. Huo, I just made you laugh. Although Little Thorn is a stray cat I picked up, he is very good and obedient. I will not allow others to look down on him!"

Huo Yanci didn't say anything, and Li Shuyan added, "Speaking of which, it was thanks to Miss Qiao that the little thorn was rescued that day. Otherwise, if it was injured and ran around, it would definitely be dead!"

"Do you know why it's called Little Thorn?" Li Shuyan asked Huo Yanci in a sweet voice.
