Knowing who Wu Sicheng was, and combining this with what An Moxue had revealed, he had some guesses in his mind and asked, "Moxue, you said there are still some troubles that haven't been completely resolved. Is it related to your identity?"
"Yes, but those people are all under my surveillance, so there won't be any major trouble. It just takes time to completely resolve the situation. I don't want to bring these troubles to your family either; it would make me uneasy."
Wu Sicheng put down the ingredients he was holding, wrapped his arms around An Moxue from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said with heartache, "Moxue, you've never been a burden, but I think I've realized that maybe I was a burden to you before! Wasn't that right? You should have told me what happened, and we could have worked together to figure it out. Now, is there anything I can do to help?"
A hint of amusement flashed across An Moxue's eyes as she asked, "Are you really going to help?"
Tell me about it.
An Moxue gave him a push and said, "Hurry up and cook! I'm getting a little hungry."
He stood up and said, "I understand. Go on."
“My next target is the Kuroda family of the Japanese.” After An Moxue finished speaking, she stared intently at Wu Sicheng, eager to see his expression change.
Just as she wished, his expression changed several times before returning to calm. He asked, "What do you want to do with the Kuroda family? They are one of the top families in Japan, and they are also involved in organized crime."
"Of course it should be annihilation! Otherwise, it's no fun at all."
An Moxue was peeling garlic in her hand, and her words were calm and even. But if people of status knew about it, they might think she was either boasting or mentally unstable.
Wu Sicheng asked, "Are you playing such high-stakes games now?"
"Yes! Otherwise, it would be so boring. But it takes several years to plan, and there needs to be a suitable opportunity, the right time, the right place, and the right people. All of these are indispensable. However, some opportunities can be created by human effort."
"It seems I need to work hard to get promoted so that I can provide you with strong support at crucial moments."
An Moxue raised her fist at him, signaling, "Go for it! I believe in you."
While the two were talking, Wu Sicheng had prepared all the side dishes. He said to An Moxue, "I'm going to start cooking now. Why don't you go out first? There will be cooking fumes soon."
"Okay, I'll set the table first."
Wu Sicheng was busy at the stove, but his heart was in turmoil much more than his outward appearance suggested. He knew a lot about An Moxue's life abroad over the years, but nothing was as shocking as what she told him today—that she wanted to destroy a top-tier family in a country.
Over the years, his overseas influence has been expanding quietly, and he has also been protecting some of An Moxue's businesses that he knows about without making a sound. At the same time, he has also instructed his maternal grandfather to pay more attention to and help An Moxue's businesses.
However, he felt that she must have other businesses that he didn't know about, otherwise she wouldn't have so casually mentioned destroying a family.
He knew her well; she never did anything she wasn't sure of.
It seems he needs to work even harder, and he should also find an opportunity to go abroad to learn more about the details.
With a sizzle, the ribs went into the pot. Wu Sicheng called to An Moxue, "Moxue, the red wine needs to be opened and allowed to breathe. The food and wine will be ready soon, and then we can eat."
"knew."
The two of them did their own thing. Before long, the ribs on the stove were ready, the steamed scallops were ready, and he started frying steak, making stir-fried liver tips, and also made a tiger salad and a vegetarian shredded dish.
With all the dishes ready, Wu Sicheng poured a glass of wine for each of them. He said happily, "This red wine goes well with the national dishes. Cheers! Today it's finally just the two of us eating together. I've been looking forward to this for so long."
An Moxue raised her glass and said, "Me too, I've been looking forward to eating your cooking for so long."
She gently swirled the wine in her glass, then slowly sipped the red wine, savoring the aftertaste in her mouth before swallowing, leaving a lingering aroma.
Seeing how much she enjoyed it, Wu Sicheng put a piece of spare rib on her plate and a piece of stir-fried liver on her plate, saying, "Eat some food! Didn't you say you wanted to eat my cooking? Why are you only drinking? You weren't lying to me, were you?"
"How could that be?" An Moxue said, picking up the piece of liver tip and putting it in her mouth.
Wu Sicheng watched her eat the liver tips, and after she swallowed them, he asked, "How was it? Was it tough? Was it fishy?"
"Very tender, not fishy, just right, Chef Wu."
He was very satisfied with her feedback and said, "If you like it, I'll make it for you again next time. Try this vegetarian three-shredded dish. It's a Shandong dish, made with vermicelli, shredded carrots, and shredded potatoes, seasoned with sesame oil, chili oil, and other seasonings. I wonder if you'll like it?"
An Moxue obligingly took a bite and said, "It's quite delicious, full of sesame oil flavor, but also very refreshing. You've learned a lot of different cuisines!"
Wu Sicheng picked up another scallop for her and said, "Yeah, my comrades come from all over the country. We go everywhere on missions, and we learn a bit of whatever delicious food we see. Sometimes when we make a dish, we don't even know which cuisine it is."
Seeing that he kept putting food on her plate, An Moxue said, "I can put food on my own, you can eat too."
"Okay, I got it," he replied, but he still kept putting food on her plate every now and then.
The two ate their food slowly, and the bottle of red wine was gradually emptied. Seeing An Moxue like this, Wu Sicheng asked, "Moxue, I feel that your alcohol tolerance is getting better and better. This wine goes down like a soft drink."
"There's no way around it, the people in Russia drink strong liquor, much stronger than this red wine. I see you can hold your liquor pretty well! You must drink with your comrades quite a bit!"
"How could that be? It's become very rare. Most of them are married and rarely attend wedding banquets. Sometimes, when they're transferred for work and new comrades come to visit, they might invite them to a housewarming party. But these days, it's really not much."
"And you! You always attend banquets?"
"It doesn't happen often, but there are always some unavoidable ones, and it's much better than it was at the beginning."
He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Lots of handsome guys, huh!"
"It's alright. There are plenty of beautiful women, and they know how to dress up. There are hardly any ugly ducklings."
"Is she very good-looking?"
"Yes, there is. But let me tell you, I've noticed something: the people of Osiri, regardless of gender, all seem to have a body odor! Especially the men. Have you noticed this before?"
Wu Sicheng had unknowingly sat down next to An Moxue, holding a wine glass in his hand, and asked her, "Oh? How did you find out?"
"How else would you find out? Of course, you'd find out if you were standing right next to them, close enough!"
"So close?" Wu Sicheng said, moving even closer to An Moxue. His warm breath, mixed with the aroma of wine, brushed against An Moxue's ear, making her feel ticklish and tingly. She finally realized, belatedly, that he was right next to her, and very close at that.
