Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 569: A Day In the Life of a Lovey-Dovey Couple

Apart from his tall and sturdy figure, his sculpted muscles were clearly outlined under his short-sleeved cotton T-shirt.

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, he exuded a commanding presence.

Although he wasn’t exactly fierce, he was quite unapproachable.

The young lady did not dare to look at Mu Xichen directly. After tabulating the bill, she would only look at Li Beinian to inform her of the price. Then she assisted with swiping Li Beinian’s card.

The young lady watched as Li Beinian packed the items into the shopping bag. Having done this and before she could pick them up, a large hand reached out for them.

Immediately after this, the tall man placed a hand on her shoulder and drew her towards him in a tight cuddle.

Li Beinian giggled, her voice soft and sweet as she reminded him, “We’re out in the public!”

The tall man lowered his head and whispered in her ear. Soon, the two of them walked away.

The cashier looked at them enviously for a long time, and only snapped back to her senses when the next customer called out to her.

When Li Beinian got home, she headed into the kitchen with excitement.

Mu Xichen had bought a bunch of ingredients and put them in the refrigerator. After he was done, he was ready to assist her but she shooed him away.

The young lady placed her hands on her hips and said confidently, “I have to maintain my sense of mystery. So that I can surprise you when I’m done. I’m sure you have things to do, so run along then!”

Mu Xichen smiled.

However, he did not insist, since Li Beinian was rarely in such a good mood.

And like she said, he did have other things waiting for him to attend to.

The study was on the second floor.

Mu Xichen could be found here whenever he wasn’t in the office.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, he paused and said, “Cook Ah Ye’s share as well.”

“Okay.”

Mu Xichen went into deep thought after revising the 7740 name list.

He picked up his cell phone and dialed Gu Mingye’s number. Following the call, he started to settle some of the matters at hand.

The moment Gu Mingye stepped in, he smelled the fragrance from the kitchen.

Following the aroma trail, he had almost entered the kitchen when Li Beinian shooed him upstairs.

Reluctantly, Gu Mingye made his way up to the second floor.

The door of the study was open and Gu Mingye saw Mu Xichen frowning in deep thought.

Boss was rarely like this.

Immediately, Gu Mingye knew that something was wrong.

He shut the door behind him and walked over to Mu Xichen. The latter started speaking.

He asked, “Who else knows about 7740, apart from the both of us?”

Gu Mingye was stunned and replied at once, “No one else.”

As they spoke, he came up to the desk. “Even the members of 7740 themselves don’t know that they’re part of 7740. How would anyone else know?”

Mu Xichen put the documents down and said meaningfully, “Yes, how would others know...”

Li Beinian liked drinking soup.

Especially soup brewed with pork ribs, corn and radish.

First, the ribs were boiled with some ginger water to get rid of the foul smell. Then, a clay pot was used to boil this with corn, carrots, water chestnuts, Chinese chestnuts, and Chinese yam.

After an hour, it was fragrant and sweet.

At that point, a sprinkle of celery would complete the dish. The thought of this made Li Beinian drool.

This was a flavor that she remembered from her childhood days, when Tang Xiaoge would brew it for the family. Li Beinian had loved it since.

Besides this, Li Beinian’s signature dish was eggplant.

First, the eggplant was fried with oil, then the dried shrimp, dried salted fish, minced meat, and minced garlic were stir-fried. Finally, soy sauce was added into the pot and the ingredients were simmered. Finally, a sprinkle of onions would be added before serving.

The other dishes included braised pork, cucumber, and fruit salad.

They were all simple dishes that Li Beinian had loved since she was a child.

Finally, she scooped three bowls of rice and placed them on the table. Then, she walked upstairs and called out, “Time to eat!”
