Chapter 275 Eat More Leeks

At dinner time.

Ye Chen sat at one side of the dining table, while Mu Yuting and Xiao Nuan sat opposite him.

"Ye Chen, treat this place like your own home and make sure you eat enough." Xiao Nuan greeted him warmly.

"Don't worry, little sister-in-law, coming here is like being at home, I won't be polite."

Ye Chen hid his lost emotions deep in his heart and tried his best to act natural.

Even so, I was still a little absent-minded while eating, and my mind would wander from time to time while staring at the dumplings on the plate.

His heart had already followed Ke Xin's phone call.

Mu Yuting saw his lost look and chuckled without saying a word.

I thought to myself: Aren’t I going to be a monk? Aren’t I going to beat the wooden fish?

The temple needs people like you who are so lost and distraught.

Xiao Nuan didn't understand why. Seeing Ye Chen, who always loved to joke, become dull, she felt very puzzled.

Abnormal.

Is it possible that these dumplings are not to his taste?

Xiao Nuan put down her chopsticks, poured a glass of orange juice for Ye Chen, and handed it to him, asking cautiously,

"Ye Chen, why are you always in a daze? Don't you like dumplings with this kind of filling? Then eat more vegetables. Tell me what kind of filling you like, and I'll make it for you next time."

It was Xiao Nuan's first time eating with Ye Chen and she didn't know his taste yet.

When preparing ingredients in the afternoon, Xiao Nuan specially sent a message to Mu Yuting, asking what kind of dumplings Ye Chen liked so that she could make the filling.

Mu Yuting said Ye Chen is not picky.

Xiao Nuan made two kinds of fillings, one of which was the three-fresh filling that Ke Xin loved. She saw that the leeks in the market were very fresh and tender, so she bought a bunch and mixed the leeks and eggs into the filling.

Ye Chen came back to his senses, took the orange juice, and quickly explained,

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You don't need to use any other fillings. I love this three-fresh filling. The taste of the one you made is amazing."

As he said this, he gave Xiao Nuan a thumbs up.

"So you and Kexin have the same taste. She also likes the ones with three-fresh fillings. If you like it, eat more. Why are you always in a daze?" Xiao Nuan asked in confusion.

Before Ye Chen could respond, Mu Yuting snorted and laughed, "It's unrequited love."

"Go away, do you think I'm like you..."

"I'm like, I just suddenly thought of something on a project and my mind wandered a little bit."

Ye Chen felt a little guilty about what he said.

Xiao Nuan believed Ye Chen's words, "I know you are busy with work, but eating is a time to relax your body and mind. Don't always think about work. Combine work and rest and eat more."

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Nuan had no doubts.

Mu Yuting wasn't as easy to fool as Xiao Nuan. He picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, teasing Ye Chen, "Hey, which project has you so concerned? Come on, tell us more about it."

Ye Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Even such delicious dumplings can't stop your stinky mouth."

The two were joking.

Xiao Nuan saw that the dumplings were almost finished, so she got up and went to the kitchen to cook another pot.

Mu Yuting suddenly grabbed Xiao Nuan's hand and said gently, "You sit here and eat. I'll go cook."

Xiao Nuan felt embarrassed when he pulled her hand, so she quickly pulled her hand away. "No need, you two brothers can chat. I'll go cook. It will be ready in a moment."

The look of affection in their eyes and eyebrows really made Ye Chen eat a handful of dog food again.

After Xiao Nuan went to the kitchen, Ye Chen put down his chopsticks and said seriously,

"Yu Ting, you must be nice to my sister-in-law in the future. If you dare to bully her, my grandmother and I will stand on her side."

"What? You were bribed by a meal of dumplings?" Mu Yuting asked deliberately.

"You're asking even though you know the answer. Is that about the dumplings? I really admire my sister-in-law's character. She deserves your kindness."

Mu Yuting was very happy to hear this. He raised the juice.

"You can't drink while driving. Today we'll have juice and wine. Come on, you're welcome to come and eat anytime."

Ye Chen raised his glass and clinked it with his. "Finally he said something sensible. As the saying goes, 'A red flower grows redder by the company of its neighbors.' It seems my sister-in-law has taught me a good lesson."

"Isn't it because I feel sorry for you? It doesn't feel good to have a crush on someone, right?" Mu Yuting raised his eyebrows and spoke in a provocative tone.

Ye Chen chopped it off, "As if you've never had a secret crush before, when you liked my sister-in-law but refused to admit it, you suffered a lot, didn't you? Didn't your phone fall a lot back then?"

After they finished speaking, the two brothers smiled at each other.

We all have had secret crushes before, so don't make fun of each other.

Touch another one.

Xiao Nuan cooked the dumplings and Mu Yuting went to the kitchen to help serve them.

Xiao Nuan quietly told Mu Yuting, "Give the three-fresh filling to Ye Chen later, and you should eat more of the leek and egg filling."

Let me eat more leeks?

Leek can nourish the kidneys...

Could it be that I failed to satisfy this little woman when I was being shy?

Do you think I'm not strong enough?

Mu Yuting supported the stove with both hands, wrapped Xiao Nuan in it, and pressed their bodies together. His eyes were deep and his voice was low and sexy.

"Why, am I not great? Do I need to make up for it?"

Xiao Nuan looked outside the kitchen nervously. Fortunately, Ye Chen was looking at his phone and didn't notice this side.

She quickly pushed Mu Yuting away and cursed in a low voice, "Screw you! There's only one plate of three-fresh stuffing left, so of course it has to be given to others. You have no choice but to eat the leek stuffing."

Mu Yuting smiled self-deprecatingly: You're overthinking it.

Xiao Nuan was really impressed by this man: Doesn't he know his own physical strength? With his fighting ability, he still needs to replenish it?

If I don’t replenish Xiao Nuan, she will shiver. If I replenish her again, the situation will be unbearable.

But, isn’t it a coincidence today?

I can only eat the ones stuffed with leeks.

It shouldn’t have much of an impact just by having a meal, Xiao Nuan thought timidly.

…

Xiao Nuan placed the three-fresh filling in front of Ye Chen and said,

"It's fresh out of the pot, eat it while it's hot. Kexin isn't here, so you, as her brother, eat her share for her."

When mentioning Ke Xin, Ye Chen felt upset.

I just saw Ke Xin’s circle of friends. It was a picture of holding hands with a sentence added: When you are with the one you love, even the wind is sweet.

Is the wind sweet?

Then it won’t be sticky when it blows on your body?

Ye Chen felt a thousand angers in his heart. Although he had never met Ke Xin’s boyfriend, he got angry just by looking at the photo of them holding hands.

Ke Xin's hands were so white and delicate, while the man's claws were black, like an African's.

Just based on the skin color, that man is not worthy of his lovely sister.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard from Yu Ting that you and Ke Xin were college classmates?" Ye Chen asked.

Xiao Nuan perked up, "Yes, we were almost inseparable for four years in college, sharing the same dormitory and class. We were not sisters, but we were better than sisters, just like you and Mu Yuting. Kexin is carefree and easy to get along with."

Ye Chen listened very carefully, paused, and asked casually, "Sister-in-law, then you must have met her boyfriend, right?"

"I've met him. He's a very gentle and refined person." Xiao Nuan told the truth but didn't make any further comments.

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "You're not African, are you?"

Why do you ask that?

Xiao Nuan couldn't help but laugh, "No, I'm from Jiangcheng."

Xiao Nuan didn't think much about it. Ye Chen liked to joke around. Besides, he and Ke Xin had known each other since childhood, so it was normal for him to ask about Ke Xin.

Ye Chen felt very depressed, with an indescribable feeling.

Very contradictory and uncomfortable.

After returning home, I couldn't sleep and tossed and turned. I opened her circle of friends and looked at it again and again.

Is Ke Xin's date over?

Are you home?

Ye Chen couldn't understand why he cared about her so much and why he always thought of her involuntarily.

In the end he found a decent excuse for himself:

It should be a kind of concern from the brother to his sister.

Ye Chen suggested to himself: I treat him as my younger sister, and it is normal for a brother to care about his younger sister.

Yes, that must be the case.
