Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 65: The Scheming Foster Sister in the Period Literature (5)

In the kitchen, Mu Zhou rushed to pick and wash the vegetables as usual, and then looked at Tan Zeyu silently.

Tan Zeyu could deliberately ignore her at first.

But as Mu Zhou's eager gaze stayed on him for longer and longer, his movements in cutting vegetables became much stiffer.

"Snapped".

The kitchen knife was placed on the chopping board, and Tan Zeyu looked at her coldly.

Mu Zhou was startled. She grabbed the edge of her apron with both hands and explained subconsciously:

"I, I can't cook, I want to learn."

Tan Zeyu frowned and looked at her, seemingly unconvinced.

Mu Zhou had no choice but to say embarrassedly, "When we were at home, my brothers and sisters cooked, and I just helped." She tried to assure him, "I will definitely learn it soon, I promise!"

Tan Zeyu quickly understood that she was afraid that other members of the Tan family would know that she couldn't cook, so she hid it from them.

He stared at her silently for a few seconds, and after making sure that she had no other ulterior motives, he continued to cut vegetables.

Mu Zhou let out a long sigh, quietly moved closer and looked at it carefully.

She is very considerate and when she can't help much, she tries to provide emotional value.

"My second brother is amazing. He cuts every potato into the same thickness."

"It smells so good! Second brother's cooking skills are better than any chef."

"Wow, the carrots can be cut into such neat squares! Second brother is really professional at everything he does."

Even though Tan Zeyu didn't even glance at her, Mu Zhou continued to praise him throughout the whole process, staring at him with starry eyes.

Tan Zeyu's hands did not stop moving, and he looked skilled and calm, but only he knew that his calm thoughts had been completely disrupted.

The kitchen is not small and is filled with a faint smell of oil smoke, but even so, the natural herbal fragrance from Mu Zhou always rushes into his nostrils, making it impossible to ignore.

Finally, all the dishes were ready. Mu Zhou carried the plates out and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the dinner table, Lu Meng tasted a bite of beef brisket and tofu, and said in surprise:

"Sister Mu Zhou, your cooking skills are amazing. It seems I need to learn a lot from you."

"It's all thanks to my second brother. I'm just helping out."

Mu Zhou spoke the truth and did not dare to take any credit.

But that doesn't stop others from thinking she's just being modest.

For example, Lu Meng sincerely believed that her craftsmanship was superb, but she still pretended to be humble and flattered Tan Zeyu.

She secretly made up her mind that she must surpass Mu Zhou in cooking and never lose to her.

On this day, Tan Zexu, the eldest brother of the Tan family, who had been on a business trip since Mu Zhou came to the Tan family, came back.

Although he took off his military uniform, his strong and straight body was still extremely oppressive.

Zhang Baozhen was delighted to see him:

"It just so happens that something urgent happened on the street, so I have to go. You take Mu Zhou to the department store to buy some new clothes. Remember, buy something that young girls will like."

She had long noticed that Mu Zhou's clothes were too dark, unlike Lu Meng's usual bright and shiny clothes.

She was afraid that Mu Zhou would feel aggrieved, so she always wanted to find time to take her to buy some new things. However, just as she was about to go, the street office came to find her for something.

Fortunately, Tan Zexu is back.

So Mu Zhou and Tan Zexu went to the department store together.

*

Tan Zexu is a reliable big brother. When he arrived, he asked the salesperson to pick the best and most popular items for Mu Zhou.

No matter how Mu Zhou refused, he still insisted on buying them all.

When leaving, Mu Zhou even changed into his newly bought down jacket at the instigation of the salesperson.

The goose yellow long down jacket is not only warm to wear, but the waist-hugging design also makes it look not bulky at all.

Especially since Mu Zhou is very fair, this color is even more suitable for him.

The two left amid the salesperson's praise.

But they did not go home, but went to the North City Hotel.

Tan Zexu thought to himself that Sister Mu Zhou had been in Beicheng for so long and had never been to Beicheng Restaurant. This was really inappropriate, so he insisted on taking Mu Zhou there to eat at least once.

"When Lu Meng first came here, her mother also brought her here to eat."

He persuaded Mu Zhou, wanting her not to feel burdened.

Mu Zhou couldn't refuse, so he had to follow him into the restaurant.

The two sat down in the hall.

On the stairs, Tan Zeyu, who came out of the private room, pinched his nose.

He had just sent away the investors from Hong Kong City, and his recent busy work finally came to an end.

Just as I was about to leave, I looked up and saw a bright figure sitting by the window.

The girl has a pair of bright, dark eyes, and a little baby fat on her palm-sized face. At this moment, she is supporting her chin with her elbows on the table, and her bright red lips are slightly pouting, which makes her look very cute.

Today, she did not tie her hair into two pigtails as usual. Instead, she braided all her hair to one side and pinned a butterfly hairpin on the side.

It was Mu Zhou who had just sat down.

Why is she here?

Tan Zeyu quickly noticed the goose yellow down jacket she was wearing.

That was the one the mannequin was wearing the first time he took her to the department store.

Sure enough, this dress suits her very well.

Especially at this moment, she was looking at the man opposite with a smile, and her fair face looked even more beautiful against the backdrop of the goose yellow clothes.

Tan Zeyu's face suddenly darkened.

Who is she having dinner with?

He walked downstairs quickly, and when he got closer, he saw that the man with his back to him looked familiar.

"Second brother?"

"Big brother?"

Mu Zhou and Tan Zeyu spoke at the same time, and Tan Zexu also turned around to look over.

"Are you here too?"

The eldest brother's words made Tan Zeyu purse his lips slightly: "Why, did I disturb your meal?"

"What are you talking about? Are you busy with work?"

"ended."

Tan Zeyu answered calmly and sat down next to Tan Zexu.

Mu Zhou looked at him quietly.

Tan Zeyu looked a little different today. He was wearing a formal suit, a tie tied neatly, and his hair moussed. He looked extremely handsome but serious, without any trace of scoundrelliness.

Suddenly, I had some visions of Hong Kong stars of this era.

The moment she looked away, Tan Zeyu looked at her.

She felt it, but did not react. She just lowered her head and ate quietly.

"new clothes?"

He took the initiative to speak.

Tan Zexu replied for her:

"Mom asked me to take my sister shopping for some new clothes. The ones she had before were too boring and not suitable for her age. This one is nice, isn't it? It's said to be the most fashionable style in the south."

Even someone like Tan Zexu, who wasn't interested in clothes and dressing up, could see that the clothes suited Mu Zhou very well, as if they were tailor-made for her.

"Ah."

Tan Zeyu responded casually and picked up his chopsticks, as if he didn't care.

The dishes have been served and everyone picked up their chopsticks.

Tan Zeyu had already eaten during social events, so naturally he couldn't eat much now.

He raised his eyes from time to time and glanced at Mu Zhou inadvertently.

She moved very carefully, as if she was afraid of dirtying her new clothes.

He didn't know what was going on, but the initial surprise he felt when he saw her wearing this dress faded, and now he couldn't stand her wearing this dress.

Especially since she was so attentive and careful.

At this moment, the cooking skills of the nationally renowned North City Hotel were like chewing wax to him.
