CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 293: TWO LIGHT BULBS

Sun Yue looked at Ye Xin in confusion.

Ye Xin smiled faintly, looking at Sun Yue, her usual intelligent glow returning, "Didn’t you also say? Yang Chen is just a retired special guard. Even if he can carry out missions abroad, there’s absolutely no time for him to establish his own businesses. Moreover, the discipline of the Guard doesn’t allow it. But since he said so, I believe him. However... have you thought about how he owns these businesses? Is his identity really just a simple retired special guard?"

Sun Yue froze, a glint of surprise flashing in her eyes, she looked at Ye Xin and said, "Fire Phoenix, you mean..."

"I’m very curious about Yang Chen’s identity." Ye Xin chuckled lightly.

Sun Yue was thrilled.

She knew it, she knew it! How could Ye Xin be brainwashed by someone like Yang Chen? It turns out Ye Xin had been hiding it all along, in order to find out Yang Chen’s identity.

Sun Yue felt guilty, secretly blaming herself for being too reckless, nearly ruining Ye Xin’s plan.

"You’re planning to..."

"Investigate subtly. I want to know Yang Chen’s true identity." Ye Xin’s eyes sparkled as she whispered, "I want to peel away the layers of this man more mysterious than myself..."

With that, Ye Xin’s face showed a tinge of shy blush, thinking about being pressed onto the sofa by Yang Chen... and... her first kiss...

Although she had kissed Yang Chen before, it was always initiated by her, this was the first time someone else kissed her...

"Does it count as a first kiss?" Ye Xin couldn’t distinguish the concept.

"Alright!" Sun Yue was ecstatic, "Don’t worry, I will find out everything about this Yang Chen!"

Although Sun Yue had investigated before and couldn’t find much, that kind of search wasn’t really an investigation.

If a real investigation were to take place, with their capabilities, they could find out everything from Yang Chen’s schooling, to his birth, his first love, exam scores, which Guard he ended up in through some channel, where he was assigned, and what he did. Everything could be investigated clearly.

Perhaps others couldn’t do it, but Sun Yue was confident because she worked for Ye Xin and held the most cutting-edge intelligence in the Flame Country!

She thought, investigating a Yang Chen would be no problem at all.

...

Yang Chen drove to the supermarket, thinking that Sun Yue was the first guest to their house today, so he should prepare some delicious food for her.

After thinking for a while, Yang Chen bought a few prime steaks, roughly checking, they seemed to be from cattle butchered that very morning.

He then selected some foie gras.

Of course, some red wine was essential.

After buying some other sides, Yang Chen returned to the Emperor Garden.

Upon returning, Yang Chen found two people delightfully watching a variety show, with the current hottest idol as the main attraction.

Yang Chen found it speechless that Sun Yue, who was criticizing him earlier, now watched even more obsessively.

Shaking his head, Yang Chen took the ingredients to the kitchen and started cooking.

Soon, a tantalizing aroma wafted throughout the space.

"This smell... so fragrant!" Sun Yue twitched her nose, her appetite instantly whetted.

Ye Xin stood up with a cheeky smile and said to Sun Yue, "My husband’s cooking skills are extremely good, you will be in for a treat today."

Seeing Ye Xin’s proud demeanor, Sun Yue couldn’t help but say, "It’s just cooking, no matter how delicious he makes it, can it be as good as a five-star hotel chef’s food?"

Ye Xin shook her head, chuckling lightly, "It’s different; you’ll understand when you have your own love."

With that, Ye Xin walked into the kitchen.

"Honey, what delicious food are you making for us?" Ye Xin hugged Yang Chen from behind with a smile.

Feeling the wonderful sensation on his back, Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Today there are two main dishes, a Wellington Steak, and red wine foie gras."

Ye Xin was slightly surprised, tiptoeing and tilting her head, watching Yang Chen skillfully arrange the ingredients, "These two dishes are very difficult; can you do it?"

Yang Chen paused his work, lightly turned his head, and gazed at Ye Xin’s beautiful side profile, "For a man, there’s nothing that can’t be done!"

"Hehe!" Ye Xin ducked her head shyly, giggling, "Alright then, I’ll help you."

Yang Chen smiled softly, "Alright, help me cut the foie gras, I think your knife skills should be good."

People who play with knives usually have no problem handling these things, Yang Chen trusted Ye Xin’s abilities.

"Alright!" Ye Xin was equally excited.

Sitting on the couch, Sun Yue completely lost interest in the TV, only curious about what the two were doing, as rich aromas triggered her appetite.

Gurgle!

Gurgle!

Sun Yue swallowed several times, feeling that the emanating aroma was becoming more and more enticing.

She couldn’t help but feel a little anxious, complaining about why Yang Chen was taking so long to cook.

...

Wei Xueqing’s home.

An empty villa with only her inside.

With no plans for the afternoon, Wei Xueqing thought she’d come home for a rest.

But staying at home, she felt increasingly lonely and desolate.

In Wei Xueqing’s mind, a person’s silhouette kept flashing unbidden.

For the past few months, that person was always by her side, inseparable. Now, though that pesky figure was gone, she was unreasonably nostalgic for them.

"What is wrong with me?" Shaking her head, trying to shake off that figure, yet... it became harder to forget.

"What’s he doing now?"

"Went home... or... with Ye Xin?"

Thinking through, Wei Xueqing immediately took out her phone and called Ye Xin.

Quickly, the call connected, but it wasn’t Ye Xin; it was another woman.

"Who are you?"

"I’m a friend of Ye Xin, what do you need?" Sun Yue directly replied.

"Is Ye Xin home right now?"

"Hmm, she’s cooking with Yang Chen."

"Huh? Oh! Alright, I got it."

Wei Xueqing immediately hung up.

Ye Xin and Yang Chen were together.

Cooking?

At the Emperor Garden?

So... do that mean they might not come back today?

If they’re not coming back, then wouldn’t they...

The more Wei Xueqing thought about it, the more panicked she felt.

Finally, she grabbed her car keys and immediately went out.

...

Yang Chen placed the Wellington Steak on the dining table and said to Sun Yue, "It’s ready, you can wash your hands, the red wine foie gras will be done soon."

After speaking, Yang Chen walked over to the red wine, sniffed, and saw it was almost aerated.

At that moment, a knock came from outside the door.

Yang Chen felt puzzled, who would come at this time?

Moreover, none of their friends knew about this place.

Walking to the door, Yang Chen opened it and was stunned to find Wei Xueqing standing there.

"Why are you here?" Yang Chen was somewhat surprised.

Wei Xueqing glared at Yang Chen unhappily and said, "I heard you’re making delicious food, and you didn’t invite me!"

With that, Wei Xueqing squeezed past Yang Chen directly...
