However, when he looked at the bright red patch in the hot pot, with chili oil floating on top, it looked extremely spicy.
His eyes flickered, and he picked up the meat from the bowl and ate it.
Seeing that Ji Huaishen had finally started eating, Mu Xiaocheng felt much better.
She felt a bit awkward because Boss Ji kept staring at her while she ate, but it's okay now.
Because it was so spicy, Mu Xiaocheng was panting heavily as she ate.
Naturally, he didn't forget to serve food to Ji Huaishen.
She first blanched the duck intestines, threw them into Ji Huaishen's bowl, and then ate them herself.
Whatever she picked up, Ji Huaishen ate.
Throughout the entire process, Mu Xiaocheng treated her like a child.
After finally finishing their meal, Ji Huaishen went to the front desk first and took out his card to pay the bill.
After paying the bill, the two left the hot pot restaurant.
The rain has stopped, but it's still a bit cold.
Mu Xiaocheng walked side by side with Ji Huaishen. After a moment, she moved her lips and said, "Mr. Ji, let's split the bill for today's meal. I'll transfer the money to you when we get back."
Upon hearing her say that, Ji Huaishen suddenly stopped and looked down at her.
Mu Xiaocheng was caught off guard when she met his gaze.
"Miss Mu, you're too kind. You took such good care of me earlier, even teaching me how to eat hot pot; consider it tuition. Besides..."
At this point, Ji Huaishen paused.
A smile played at the corners of his lips, gentle yet alluring.
His deep, pleasant voice rang out in the night: "Besides, Miss Mu, you'll have to get used to it."
"It is only natural for a husband to pay for his wife's expenses."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaocheng's pretty face froze slightly, and it took her a few seconds to react.
Looking at Ji Huaishen's handsome face, which had a half-smile, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously looked away.
Husband and wife?
From now on, this will be their relationship.
Seeing that she was avoiding his gaze again, Ji Huaishen changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "There is something I need Miss Mu's help with."
"What's wrong?" Mu Xiaocheng asked, her eyes wide as she gripped the strap of her handbag.
"I'm meeting my parents tomorrow, and before that, we need to get our marriage certificate so they won't suspect anything."
Get a marriage certificate?
Are you kidding me?
So fast?
"W-So fast?" Although she had already agreed to Ji Huaishen's request, she should at least give her some time to prepare herself!
Ji Huaishen frowned, his deep eyes flashing, and he asked tentatively, "Miss Mu, are you unwilling?"
"No, I just..."
Before Mu Xiaocheng could finish speaking, Ji Huaishen interrupted her.
"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up at nine tomorrow morning. After we get our marriage certificate, we'll go meet my parents."
Mu Xiaocheng: "..."
If she continues talking, won't she seem too pretentious?
Oh well, it's bound to happen sooner or later anyway.
She helped Ji Huaishen, so that she could ask him to help her find her father.
That's what a transaction is.
Mu Xiaocheng is still relatively clear-headed; she can still see things clearly.
"good."
She agreed softly, cleverly concealing her earlier awkwardness.
Before Ji Huaishen was yet another quiet and intelligent girl.
He gave her a deep look, then said nothing more.
I accompanied her to the parking lot and watched her leave.
After Mu Xiaocheng left, a black Maybach stopped in front of Ji Huaishen at just the right moment.
Shang Qi got out of the car and nodded to Ji Huaishen, saying, "Sir, you guessed correctly. The people from that detective agency were indeed bribed."
