Ye Qingqing was taken aback. Lu Mo had just discussed with his superiors about delaying his return a while ago, so why was he suddenly going back again?

Moreover, Lu Mo and Tie Dan's expressions were not quite right.

Ye Qingqing's heart sank, and she suddenly remembered what Zhu Zi had said before.

"Was it Yuwen Feng who did this?"

"Don't overthink it. I'll be back as soon as possible. Try to stay home as much as possible these next few days and don't separate from Wuchen!"

Lu Mo did not answer, but repeatedly told Ye Qingqing to be careful. He would be back for at least a week, and he was really worried about her.

Ye Qingqing nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be fine here. There's no need to rush back. If the boss doesn't agree to the extension, you and Tiedan shouldn't come back!"

She guessed that Lu Mo's repeated delays must have displeased the leadership.

Ye Qingqing didn't want to affect Lu Mo's future because of herself.

"I'm really fine here, you and Tiedan don't need to come back," Ye Qingqing said again.

Lu Mo gently patted her head and said softly, "I'll handle it, don't worry about it!"

With danger lurking everywhere, how could he possibly leave Ye Qingqing in Pingjiang?

Lu Mo and Tie Dan took a flight back overnight. He will resolve the matter as soon as possible and return as soon as possible.

Ye Qingqing felt a sudden emptiness in her heart. Lu Mo had just left the house, and she had already started missing him.

How pathetic!

What should we eat tonight?

Wuchen's cry interrupted Ye Qingqing's thoughts. The little guy stood with his hands on his hips, his bald head glaring angrily.

All she thinks about is men all day long; she doesn't even cook. She'll starve to death!

Let's eat out!

Ye Qingqing chose the simplest method. There was a small restaurant at the entrance of the alley. Although the food wasn't very good, it could at least fill her stomach, which was much better than her terrible cooking!

"I don't eat at restaurants; they only serve meat."

Wuchen was annoyed; all the pots in the restaurant had been used to cook meat, and she wasn't going to eat them!

"I'll cook noodles. I saw there are eggs, cucumbers, and carrots in the fridge!" Ya Dan volunteered.

Ye Qingqing looked at Ya Dan suspiciously, "You know how to do it?"

"I cook at home too, but I don't know how to use a gas stove." Ya Dan scratched her head sheepishly. City people's stoves are really strange; they can start a fire even without firewood or charcoal.

"I'll teach you!"

Ye Qingqing took Ya Dan to the kitchen and taught her how to use the gas stove. Ya Dan quickly learned and started making noodles with practiced ease.

Seeing the little girl's skillful movements, Ye Qingqing was filled with admiration.

"You woman can't even cook, you're a disgrace!" Wuchen looked at her with disdain.

A woman who can't cook isn't a good woman, and that stinky woman surnamed Ye is definitely no good!

Ye Qingqing glared at her, swallowed back the curse words, and endured it for the sake of the unlucky child who brought back so much money!

Ya Dan's cooking skills are quite good. In less than half an hour, three large bowls of fragrant egg noodles were ready. The golden eggs, green cucumber shreds, and red carrot shreds were both beautiful and delicious.

Ye Qingqing and Wuchen ate with great relish and unanimously agreed to hand over the reins of the kitchen to Comrade Yadan.

Ya Dan readily agreed.

Three days after Lu Mo left, Ye Qingqing saw a report in the newspaper about the ingredient list of Perfect Scar Removal Cream. The article was very sharp and she found it very satisfying to read.

Yuwen Feng must be getting restless now, let's see how he'll sell his scar removal cream!

He would never dare to say that his scar removal cream contains live cells, but if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to explain to those wealthy people that they would spend 8,888 yuan on a scar removal cream that's not even worth 5 yuan. The wealthy people aren't that stupid!
