Yet Munni naturally saw from his eyes that he was asking why she wouldn’t allow it.
"If this restaurant really succeeds, everyone will definitely say it’s because of your contribution, and I’m just reaping the benefits of being associated with you."
Just like the past three years, no matter how hard she tried to showcase her own abilities, she was always denied by people, who took it for granted that everything she had was because of him.
Because he was too outstanding, everyone’s attention was focused on him, ignoring her efforts and dedication.
She had to admit that this kind of prejudice made her a bit unwilling.
"Why care about what others think?"
Munni shook her head, speaking lightly, "I don’t care, it’s just after putting in so much effort, and in the end, you receive all the glory, it makes me feel quite displeased."
"I can invest anonymously."
"Yisen, why are you so determined to invest?"
"I see a business opportunity."
Munni pouted, naturally knowing Xu Yisen was talking nonsense, yet couldn’t figure out why he was so persistent about investing.
Seeing her face full of disbelief, Xu Yisen put down the kitchen knife in his hand, looked at Munni with all seriousness: "All the chain restaurants under Fan Shuo are Chinese cuisine. I plan to branch into Japanese cuisine. But before that, I need to get familiar with running a Japanese restaurant, which is why I want to invest."
Xu Yisen’s words were not convincing at all. If he genuinely wanted to venture into Japanese cuisine, he could easily acquire a well-known Japanese restaurant brand.
But for some reason, facing Xu Yisen’s serious, meticulous, and patient explanation, Munni seemed to lose her judgment and believed his words without a second thought.
Munni threw the apple core in her hand into the trash can, finally looking up at Xu Yisen, "Alright then, you can have Secretary Tang contact the landlord when the time comes."
Implicitly, she agreed to let Xu Yisen take a share.
"Alright, go take a shower, and I’ll make some porridge for us to eat later."
Munni nodded. Before leaving, she gave Xu Yisen a slightly disdainful look, "Cooking seems more troublesome than buying porridge from a porridge shop."
Xu Yisen’s thin lips curved slightly, yet he didn’t answer.
Going to a porridge shop to buy porridge, how could it compare to the joy of cooking at her place?
When Munni finished her shower and walked into the dining room, Xu Yisen had already cooked the fish congee and prepared some side dishes.
Xu Yisen put the congee and side dishes on a tray, after placing them on the table, stood up straight and said to Munni in a gentle tone, "Let’s eat a bit together."
As the words fell, he reached out, untied the apron on him, and took it off.
Munni sat at the dining table, watched Xu Yisen’s figure carrying the tray and apron back to the kitchen, could not help but tease, "This treatment after divorce is surprisingly better than when we were married."
There was a hint of teasing in her voice, but no trace of complaint could be heard.
Xu Yisen did not respond to her words, putting the tray down, hanging the apron back properly, and then returned to the dining room, sitting opposite Munni.
In Munni’s memory, Xu Yisen had never cooked for her, but he had cooked for Xia Yuge a few times, and she had the chance to taste his cooking only because of Xia Yuge.
"How come it sounds like I’m quite heartless."
The next moment, Munni continued, "Isn’t it true? I still remember there was a time I was seriously ill, lying in bed and asked if you could make me some congee. Just then, Xia Yuge’s assistant called, and after you hung up, you told me to let Aunt Chen know if I needed anything, then you turned around and went to Xia Yuge."
Actually, at that time, Munni never thought that one day she would say this matter, which had caused her much pain and hurt, to Xu Yisen in such a relaxed tone.
