Chapter 765 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (12)
In a moment of desperation, Mu Zhou placed one hand on the back of Song Chuyu's hand.
Both of their hands were warm.
The temperature seems to be changing.
Song Chuyu lowered his eyes, glancing at their clasped hands before looking at her in front of him:
“I don’t know any of them well, and I feel awkward sitting there by myself.”
This reason is more convincing than anything else.
Because Mu Zhou is very empathetic.
Actually, she didn't know many people here. She only fiddled with the game controller at first because she was a little nervous.
For her, coming to the kitchen to process meat was actually a relief.
Now that Song Chuyu has used this reason, she has no reason to refuse.
It was only then that she realized she had been holding his hand the whole time.
Her face flushed slightly, and she moved away.
"Thank you then."
She didn't stop her anymore.
Just as I was about to put on my gloves and go with him, he said:
"You can help me with the work."
The meat has only undergone basic processing and is in relatively large pieces, so it needs to be cut again.
The cleaver for chopping meat was relatively heavy, so Mu Zhou didn't try to take it from him.
After all, these are things she's not really good at.
She stood obediently beside Song Chuyu.
After picking up a piece of meat, he suddenly remembered something and stretched his hand out to Mu Zhou:
"Could you please take my watch off for me? Thank you."
His eyes were lowered, his focused expression filled with gentleness.
Mu Zhou instinctively helped him take off his wristwatch.
She looked around the kitchen, noticing meat and potential splashes of water everywhere, and said:
"Why don't you leave the watch with me for now? Remember to come back for it later."
"Okay, thank you."
Mu Zhou put the watch into his pocket.
Silently admiring his elegant movements as he chopped the meat.
It has a unique flavor, to say the least.
At that moment, Lin Chongze, who had just entered the hall, handed the birthday gift to Xu Ruyuan.
"Little ancestor, can you finally calm down now?"
He originally intended to mail the gift, but Xu Ruyuan insisted on having him deliver it personally after hearing that he was in Haishi.
Xu Ruyuan blushed slightly as she looked at him, then proudly accepted the gift:
"That's more like it, thanks."
Before she could be happy for long, she saw Lin Chongze about to leave.
Her expression immediately changed:
"You've already come all this way, and you're actually leaving?"
"My little ancestor, I can't help it. There's a big Buddha statue in the car outside, I can't stay there for long."
"A giant Buddha? Who's that?"
"Your brother Zheng."
Xu Ruyuan's eyes widened. "Qin Zheng," she pouted, clearly displeased, "why is he pulling you along? What job is so important that he has to talk about it now?"
"It's not about work, it's just that things have been a bit unusual lately, so I'm still staying with him..."
Lin Chongze was about to make a quick, vague remark and slip away when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
He stared intently at the kitchen and instantly realized he wasn't seeing things.
That's Mu Zhou!
But... who is that guy next to him?
Xu Ruyuan was still rambling on when he suddenly covered her mouth:
"Alright, this is going to work. Wait for me to bring Qin Zheng in as well."
"Hey you..."
Lin Chongze ran away in a flash, leaving Xu Ruyuan completely bewildered.
Summon Qin Zheng here?
How could he possibly come to such a childish place?
Xu Ruyuan knew very well that her parties with her friends were meaningless to Qin Zheng.
He's always been difficult to please, with a lot of quirks.
However, Xu Ruyuan was still a little afraid of him, so she didn't dare to say anything like not letting him come.
However, she felt that Lin Chongze must be crazy, and Qin Zheng definitely wouldn't come.
This must be Lin Chongze's excuse.
Thinking of this, Xu Ruyuan pouted and went to play with other people.
Outside the courtyard, Lin Chongze opened the car door but did not let the driver start the car.
He raised an eyebrow at the gloomy Qin Zheng:
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, there's someone you want to see at Xu Ruyuan's birthday party."
Qin Zheng had been feeling suffocated and extremely irritable for the past few days. When he heard Lin Chongze's mysterious words, he didn't even bother to lift his eyebrows.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and go."
He closed his eyes, leaned back in his seat, and frowned.
Lin Chongze smiled slyly:
"You said it, but it's better if you don't go in. I think Mu Zhou has already found a suitable marriage partner, and if you go in, it might disturb their time together."
Qin Zheng immediately opened his eyes, his cold gaze shooting straight at him.
Qin Zheng wasn't stupid; he figured out the situation almost immediately.
Before Lin Chongze could speak, he silently unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
Seeing Lin Chongze's knowing smile, he explained in a cold voice:
"I just suddenly remembered that I had some official business to discuss with Xu Ruchen."
"Oh, it's business."
Lin Chongze's tone was infuriating; if he hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have been humanely destroyed by Qin Zheng.
Upon entering the house, Qin Zheng handed Xu Ruyuan a luxury shopping bag that he had casually taken from the car:
"Happy birthday."
A blessing was given casually.
Xu Ruyuan was somewhat incredulous when she saw that Lin Chongze had actually invited this great figure inside.
Has she gained so much influence?
However, Qin Zheng was unwilling to waste time and simply said:
"Where's your brother?"
Xu Ruyuan finally came to her senses.
It turns out she came to see her brother.
No wonder.
She obediently went to the backyard to call her brother.
Qin Zheng, at Lin Chongze's signal, had already spotted Mu Zhou in the kitchen.
He plopped down on the sofa directly opposite him, staring intently at Mu Zhou like a resentful husband.
And that annoying man.
Even when Xu Ruchen came and talked to him about some investment plan, he didn't even think about it.
His eyes and heart were completely filled with the scene before him.
A young man and woman stood in the kitchen; one was gentle and refined, the other was obedient and beautiful.
It's like a newlywed couple, busy in the kitchen welcoming guests to their new home.
They worked together seamlessly, at a measured pace.
They even wore matching aprons.
It's full of life.
It was as if some special aura enveloped them, and no one could penetrate it.
Qin Zheng's face instantly darkened, and his cold, sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the crowd and tear the man to shreds.
He couldn't help but think of the criteria Mu Zhou had mentioned for his ideal marriage partner at the folk music restaurant that day.
She likes gentle men who can cook.
Qin Zheng gripped the teacup tightly in his hand, his eyes suddenly filled with anger.
It's just cooking, what's so great about it?!
Are you thinking of switching careers to become a chef?
Why can't we just hire a chef? Why do we have to do it ourselves?
Qin Zheng did not understand.
He couldn't understand the fun of a man and a woman cooking together.
But the scene before him was so painful to see.
His eyes stung, and his gaze was gloomy and cold.
Even Xu Ruchen noticed that something was wrong with him.
He glanced over discreetly and saw Qin Zheng's thin lips pressed tightly together, his face extremely pale, and he immediately fell silent.
At this moment, the two people in the kitchen also finished their work and came out.
Mu Zhou walked ahead, but after a few steps he seemed to remember something.
She turned to look at Song Chuyu behind her:
"I almost forgot."
She took her watch out of her pocket.
"Thank you."
Song Chuyu accepted it.
There was an inexplicable intimacy between the two.
Mu Zhou and he returned to the living room one after the other.
It wasn't until I sat down again that I finally saw the uninvited guest.
Her eyes widened slightly, and her body stiffened somewhat.
With other people around, Mu Zhou could only hide his unusual behavior and lower his head to fiddle with a book next to him.
