Ling Chuxi suddenly understood – Mo Qingyi had an incomparably strong backer! With such a husband, she could even become a crab if she wanted to — and walk sideways!
“Shili, Shili, she is called Ling Chuxi. The food she makes is very delicious,” Mo Qingyi said cheerfully as she swung the arm of the man called Shili.
“Ling Chuxi?” The man in white looked at Ling Chuxi, silently sizing her up.
“Yes. Thank you, Senior, for saving me earlier,” Ling Chuxi bowed and said sincerely. If not for this man, she didn’t know how long she would have spent running for her life. After all, being caught by that old pervert was the equivalent of death… Or worse. As such, she was extremely grateful to the person who had saved her, regardless of his motives.
“He is called Mo Shili, not ‘senior’. Younger Sister Chuxi, come, make me another chicken like the one you made just now, okay?” Mo Qingyi grabbed Ling Chuxi’s hand, gazing at her with sparkling eyes. Ling Chuxi felt a drip of sweat behind her head. Why did she feel like this Mo Qingyi was only lacking a tail wagging behind her? She was exactly like a puppy trying to act cute, and it really made one want to pat her head and comfort her.
“Make it for her. I’ll go catch a few wild chickens.” Mo Shili spoke at that moment. His tone was indifferent, but it was clearly an order.
Ling Chuxi nodded in agreement.
Very quickly, Mo Shili caught a few wild chickens and threw them to Ling Chuxi to cook. When Ling Chuxi was digging a pit to make the Beggar’s Chicken, Mo Qingyi squatted beside her and watched her actions with bright eyes. The only thing missing was her drool. Mo Shili sat cross legged nearby, quietly waiting.
“Qingyi, why do you share the same family name as him?” Ling Chuxi asked curiosly as she was cooking. Judging by their looks, Mo Qingyi and Mo Shili were not siblings. Although close or distant relatives getting married was not uncommon in this world, the two of them looked quite different and Ling Chuxi did not feel they were siblings.
“I’m an orphan, so I didn’t have a surname back then. Later on, I met Shili and he gave me his family name,” Mo Qingyi said casually, her intent gaze fixed on the buried chicken.
“Ah, sorry, I didn’t know it was like that.” Ling Chuxi was stunned and immediately apologized. She had not expected that all. Mo Qingyi was actually an orphan without a family name and it was Mo Shili who had given her a family name? The story of these two was definitely strange.
“It’s not a big deal, I am very happy now. Having Shili by my side is enough.” Mo Qingyi raised her head to look at Ling Chuxi with a smile of happiness and contentment.
Ling Chuxi heart clenched as she stared at Mo Qingyi’s smile. She didn’t know why, but at that moment, she actually admired Mo Qingyi. That was a smile that carried no burdens – it was the purest of smiles. She and Mo Shili must be very happy.
While waiting for the Beggar’s Chicken to be cooked, Mo Qingyi and Ling Chuxi chatted. The two of them were both foodies and naturally had great chemistry. After a while of talking, Ling Chuxi realized that Mo Qingyi had eaten a lot of delicious delicacies before.
“My dream is to eat all the good food in the world. Shili is bringing me around for travels. Wahaha, how blessed!” Mo Qingyi happily said. Ling Chuxi knew quite clearly that Mo Qingyi’s emphasis was on eating good food rather than eating good food with Mo Shili. The world of a foodie was that simple!
