Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Master Chef!
"Honey, once I'm done with things here, come meet my parents with me~"
During their intimate moment, Ye Qingqing suddenly spoke up.
"No problem, you pick the time, and I'll be there," Song Yun kissed Ye Qingqing's forehead.
It looked like his road to happiness wasn't far off; as long as he gained the approval of Mr. and Mrs. Ye, then he and Ye Qingqing could truly be together.
Watching Song Yun's serious expression, Ye Qingqing also began to smile absentmindedly.
Just as the atmosphere between them was growing more and more romantic, Ye Qingqing's stomach inappropriately growled.
She laughed awkwardly and then shyly buried her head into Song Yun's waist.
"Let's go, I'll take you out to eat."
Ye Qingqing's office had a cubicle that was decorated no less luxuriously than any five-star hotel, and it even had sleeping and bathing facilities, a special perk.
Having been up all night, Ye Qingqing felt sticky all over, so she asked Song Yun to wait for her a bit.
While Ye Qingqing was taking a shower, Song Yun checked the land transfer documents. Thanks to the business acumen granted by the system, he had no trouble understanding these materials.
After reading everything, Song Yun couldn't help but admire how great big companies are; whether it was the clauses in the documents or certain regulations, they were all highlighted, making it easy for readers to go through them.
At that moment, Ye Qingqing came out of the cubicle.
She was wearing a black dress, her natural beauty captivating even without makeup.
She was no longer the high and mighty CEO but Song Yun's girl-next-door crush.
Ye Qingqing looped her arm through Song Yun's, and the two left Mo Jing Group.
"What would you like to eat?" Sitting in the car, Song Yun carefully buckled Ye Qingqing into the passenger seat.
"I think there's a new five-star restaurant that just opened, shall we try it out?"
"Sure, guide the way."
The couple drove to the new five-star restaurant which had high online ratings.
After ordering their food, they started chatting idly, largely Song Yun asking questions, like what Mr. and Mrs. Ye liked, so he could prepare in advance.
Although the Ye family lacked nothing as the number one wealthy family in Magic Capital, one couldn't simply show up empty-handed; it was a matter of etiquette, concerning the first impression, and Song Yun did not want to mess that up.
The conversation continued and the dishes arrived one by one.
Song Yun took a bite and felt it was very average, not even as satisfying as the food at a hole-in-the-wall eatery in University Town.
Perhaps people came here not for the taste, but as a statement of status and position.
While Song Yun was reflecting on this, the system chimed.
"Ding! Host detected at Li Jiang Restaurant on Fu Rong Street in Magic Capital yh district, would you like to check in?"
"Check in!"
Song Yun didn't think much of it, after all, what kind of good things could a restaurant check-in offer?
But the reward from the system took him by surprise.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful check-in. Awarding master-level culinary skills, as well as cooking insights from a hundred renowned chefs from ancient to modern times!"
A flood of memories entered Song Yun's mind, and he felt as if he had been studying culinary arts for many years, able to know the cooking steps and requirements for any dish just by thinking about it.
After finishing their meal, Song Yun smiled and asked, "Are you full?"
"Not really... The portion sizes here are so small! It really is the more expensive, the more exquisite, huh!" Ye Qingqing complained.
"Let's go home and I'll cook you something delicious."
"Song Yun, you can cook too?"
With a face full of doubt, Ye Qingqing watched as Song Yun retrieved some ingredients from the fridge after returning home.
Having already eaten a meal, Song Yun simply steamed some rice and stir-fried two homestyle dishes.
While cooking, Song Yun continually honed his culinary skills along with the memories of a master chef, and finally, after fusing them together, two dishes were ready.
One was tomato and scrambled eggs, and the other, spicy pork stir-fry.
When the dishes were served on the table, Ye Qingqing's eyes nearly lit up.
"It smells so good!" Ye Qingqing couldn't wait to grab a bite of the spicy pork stir-fry, feeling the heat of the peppers released fully, darting around her mouth.
As the spiciness stimulated her taste buds, it also caused her to secrete a substance that made her keep going for more bites of the dish, unable to stop.
"This is delicious! You've really hidden your skills!"
Ye Qingqing stuffed another mouthful of rice into her mouth and mumbled her complaint indistinctly.
"Hehe, if it's tasty, then eat more," Song Yun responded.
Song Yun poured some of the tomato and egg sauce over his own bowl of rice and, upon tasting it, felt all his previous meals were nothing—this was the truly delicious food!
The two of them wolfed down all the food, leaving not a single drop of soup.
Sitting in her chair, Ye Qingqing rubbed her somewhat bloated belly and contentedly said, "Now I finally know why you didn't cook for me before. You must have been afraid I'd get hooked and end up getting fatter and fatter!"
"No, that's not it... Don't talk nonsense," Song Yun fumbled.
How could Song Yun tell Ye Qingqing that he had received a cooking reward upon signing in today and that it was actually his first time tasting his own cooking?
"Ah, no need to say anything, I'm well aware," Ye Qingqing replied. "If I keep eating like this, I'll surely get fat sooner or later!"
"So will you eat it again in the future?"
"Of course, I will! Why wouldn't I? My husband cooks delicious food; shouldn't I be secretly happy about it? From now on, you'll be in charge of all our meals!" Ye Qingqing said with a sly smile, playfully whining to Song Yun.
"Deal! No problem at all!"
So the two of them stayed in the villa for the day, and in the evening, Ye Qingqing ate another meal cooked by Song Yun.
After dinner, Ye Qingqing decided to go home, since they were soon planning to have both families meet. She wanted to discuss it with her parents first to avoid any sudden surprises.
Song Yun drove Ye Qingqing home and then returned to the villa alone.
The next day, Song Yun first visited the hospital to discuss Yuan Siyi's mother's condition with the directors. After patiently listening, the adept doctors still wanted to meet with Yuan Siyi since she had been taking care of her mother for years and knew more details and nuances about the illness than Song Yun did.
Therefore, Song Yun called Yuan Siyi and arranged to meet at the university entrance.
Song Yunkai drove his sports car to the university entrance where Yuan Siyi studied.
It was the weekend, and there were many students coming and going—some were out shopping with their partners, others were planning to game online with friends.
But when a sports car stopped there, it instantly attracted the attention of the majority.
Some fairly attractive female students began taking selfies, posing incessantly with the car.
One group finished, and another took their place.
Eventually, one bold girl leaned over the hood of the Lamborghini and had her friend take pictures.
Inside the car, Song Yun felt somewhat embarrassed as the girl was wearing a figure-hugging sheath dress, which was barely containing her curves.
When she leaned on the car, everything got squeezed, causing a deep cleavage to sway back and forth in front of Song Yun.
However, as the car windows were tinted, people outside could not see inside, but those inside could see out. Hence, Song Yun was unsure whether to interrupt the girl or to keep enjoying the view.
