After driving for nearly an hour, the car arrived at its destination.
As Ji Wei and Gu Moqian stepped into the living room, a loud "bang" came from the kitchen!
The two of them were stunned.
Immediately after, they saw Xi Nanfeng rushing out while holding his head. "Miss Qin, if you can’t cook, don’t force it! Are you trying to blow up the entire kitchen?!"
Behind him, Qin Sixue followed closely, holding a smoking pot. She pouted, "I was just trying to be nice and make you dinner. Now that we’re living in such a remote place, it’s not like we can go out to eat."
"Alright, alright, you... just put the pot down first!" Xi Nanfeng instructed in utter disdain.
Qin Sixue obediently went back to put down the pot.
Xi Nanfeng hurriedly poured himself a glass of water to calm his nerves, heaving sigh after sigh. "Was my brain full of water when I agreed to bring her to Japan?"
As he looked up, he noticed two people standing at the doorway. Xi Nanfeng froze for a moment, then put down his glass and rushed over like a bolt of lightning.
He gave Gu Moqian a thorough once-over from head to toe before slapping his thigh. "Old Mo, weren’t you supposed to be going head-to-head with the mafia? Not a scratch on you after all these days! Here I was, not eating, not sleeping, worrying about you for nothing."
Gu Moqian glanced at Xi Nanfeng’s rosy cheeks and chuckled coldly.
"By the way, why is it just the two of you? Where’s Boss Zi?"
Ji Wei and Gu Moqian exchanged a glance, a hint of worry flashing across their faces. Ji Wei replied, "We came ahead. They should be back soon."
Zimei brought enough people to contend with Yamamoto Yu. The chances of rescuing Ye Cheng and A Cheng should be high, right?
Though she thought this, she still felt uneasy. After all, Yamamoto Yu was insidious and cunning, and Tokyo was his turf. She hoped nothing unexpected would happen.
"How did you end up running into Zimei?" Gu Moqian suddenly asked.
"I have no idea. As soon as I got off the plane, I was brought here by Boss Zi’s people. They said you all were here, but when I arrived, none of you were even back yet! I didn’t even get a chance to ask more before Boss Zi hurriedly left with a group of people. It was all so confusing. And since I got off the plane, I haven’t even had time to eat dinner..."
Xi Nanfeng grumbled as he rubbed his stomach.
Thinking of dinner, Xi Nanfeng suddenly remembered the person in the kitchen, "Qin..."
Just as he called out, a woman’s scream came from the kitchen.
Xi Nanfeng’s expression changed. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI★Fire.net
What troublesome thing had that woman done this time?
Qin Sixue was clutching her ear with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Xi Nanfeng in the doorway.
"Did you burn yourself?"
Xi Nanfeng hurried over and grabbed her hand to check. At a glance, he saw a blister on her fingertip.
Qin Sixue explained pitifully, "I didn’t know the pan was still hot and tried to lift it with both hands..."
Even putting down a pot led to her getting burned. Xi Nanfeng was utterly speechless.
He placed her hand under the faucet to rinse it, frowning as he scolded, "You’re a spoiled young lady who clearly can’t cook, yet you insist on trying. Now you’ve burned yourself, haven’t you? Serves you right!"
Qin Sixue looked at him tearily, utterly wronged.
She was only doing this for him!
When Xi Nanfeng turned his head and saw the tears about to spill from her eyes, her soft lips trembling, looking so pitiful, he froze. The words of scolding he’d been about to utter instantly got stuck in his throat. A strange irritation bubbled in his chest. "Alright, alright, I’ll go find you some burn ointment."
