Everything is prepared; today, the two of them only need to steam, boil, stir-fry, and deep-fry.
After filling their stomachs, the two began preparing dinner for their guests.
How many people will come today? And who are they?
When she said she was treating everyone yesterday, she didn't even know those people.
While busy with his hands and feet, Xiao Che took a moment to reply to her, "The only people who accompanied me to pick you up yesterday, besides my colleagues from the project team, were the director of the research institute."
According to Yin Zhi's confession, the director was one of their men. He was sent here to assist the director in completing missions, and once he passed the test, he would become the head of the intelligence network in the Northwest.
As he spoke, his brows furrowed.
Bai Yajing looked at him suspiciously. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Xiao Che sighed softly, "Since I came here, I've privately contacted the director of the research institute at least ten times. But each time nothing unusual happened, let alone any cooperation in completing the mission..."
Bai Yajing was taken aback. "He didn't say anything to you? Also, your task, is it really what that group leader said yesterday, that you have to get the project and smuggle it out?"
"Yes. That's what he said. It just goes to show that Yin Zhi has been very successfully brainwashed. What he says is seven parts truth and three parts falsehood. He's almost dead himself, yet he's still trying to trick us, and also hoping his people will notice. So, we still have to rely on ourselves..."
Bai Yajing was also helpless. Everyone's way of thinking is different, and their upbringing is also different. Although Yin Zhi and his wife are of Chinese descent, they went to live in Country A with their family when they were very young.
Being brainwashed and assimilated is not something that is hard to accept.
"It's alright, didn't we already have a direction last night? If it's inconvenient for you to contact the regimental commander in the military region, I can contact the wives of the regimental commanders in the family compound!"
Xiao Che looked at her approvingly, "Not bad, thanks to my capable wife! Then I'll leave it to you, Madam~"
Bai Yajing looked at him with some surprise. Huh? What do you mean by treating? He was blushing just now after a kiss, but now he's saying all this so smoothly?
However, looking at his ears, well, he's still the same person who blushes easily, but this level of blushing suggests he's mentally prepared himself; only his ears turned red.
"Okay, honey~"
Calling someone "husband" is as devastating as a nuclear weapon. Xiao Che, who had barely managed to regain his composure, instantly lost his bearings, unsure where to look. His handsome face was filled with barely suppressed joy and shyness…
Having admired the beauty's blushing face for a while, Bai Yajing stopped being cheeky. Neither of them said anything more after that.
A moment of silence fell over them, and they didn't continue their previous conversation. However, they worked together seamlessly while cooking, creating a very warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Although this is a separate courtyard and there's no fear of being overheard, it's still better to be careful.
Xiao Che had checked the house and found no listening devices, which was why he felt comfortable talking to her for a few minutes.
By evening, everyone had gone home from get off work.
The guests arrived one after another.
Bai Yajing was busy finishing up the last bit of work in the kitchen, while Xiao Che was outside entertaining guests.
Pick up the last pot of soup and go out to call people to eat.
"Dinner's ready!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up.
Xiao Che quickly walked over and took the soup from her hand.
"It's hot, why didn't you call me?"
Bai Yajing gave him a reproachful look. "It's not hot anymore. How could I not even be able to hold a soup bowl steadily?"
Xiao Che ignored her and took it, placing it on the table and pulling her to sit down.
