Chapter 094 Affordable and Effective Hush Money

"What's wrong with her? Why did her attitude towards you suddenly change 180 degrees?" Duan Xingye asked.

Su Youzi blinked and said with a smile, "It's a secret."

Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow slightly. "How do you have so many secrets?"

Then, slightly annoyed, he said, "Is your hush money all late-night snacks?"

Su Youzi chuckled, like a cunning little fox: "That's right, it's affordable and effective."

Duan Xingye: "......"

He had a smile on his face.

On the surface, there was no ripple, but in the depths of her heart, a slight ripple was stirring.

He felt a little lonely; to Su Youzi, he and she seemed to be no different.

and many more.

He stopped his wild thoughts and was secretly surprised.

what happened to him?

Why do we want a difference?!

At that moment, Su Youzi's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Wait a little longer, it will be ready to eat soon."

After saying that, she got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Duan Xingye watched her retreating figure, his emotions a complex mix.

Jiang Mu leaned against the refrigerator, forming a triangle with Duan Xingye and Su Youzi.

She didn't want to continue talking to Duan Xingye.

I'll just stand here, sipping my soda, and watch my beautiful idol make a late-night snack—that's even more enjoyable.

Su Youzi handled the ingredients with fluid, effortless movements. She poured the leftover rice into cold water and stirred it skillfully with her fingers.

Then, she drained the water and dropped the rice into the hot oil.

The sizzling sound of the oil was quite beautiful.

Jiang Mu was engrossed in watching.

Those bright eyes sparkled with boundless adoration and admiration for their idol.

If she didn't do those outrageous things on the show, she would not only charm the men and women in the house, but also countless netizens.

She sighed softly.

You are so outstanding.

How could I have ended up with such bloodsucking, ruthless parents?

Thinking about this made her feel sad.

I feel sorry for Su Youzi, I feel so bad for her...

How she wished that the world would treat Su Youzi kindly, allowing her to shine without any worries.

At this point, Su Youzi had already begun the next step.

She poured the stewed shrimp soup into the food processor, pressed a button, and the machine emitted a low humming sound.

As the shrimp soup was broken up and filtered, a rich aroma filled the air.

She poured the strained broth into a clay pot, seasoned it with salt and pepper, and then added the prepared leftover rice.

Next, she briefly blanched the shrimp meat and sprinkled the fried rice and chopped green onions on top.

A dish that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious was presented before us.

Su Youzi stood in front of the stove, nodded slightly in satisfaction, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips, as if she was extremely proud of her work.

"It's cooked, Mumu. Can you get me the bowls and chopsticks?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

He replied with a "Okay," and then turned around and quickly went to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Just as Su Youzi was about to lift the heavy casserole, a tall figure suddenly loomed over her, like a sudden cloud blocking out the light.

Duan Xingye had already walked to her side without her noticing. He naturally reached out with both hands and steadily lifted the casserole.

"I'll do it." The voice was deep and powerful, yet carried an undeniable gentleness.

Su Youzi looked up at him, a gentle smile spreading across her lips.

After laying down the heat-resistant mat, she sat down in the dining chair and waited for her food.

The shrimp soup rice in front of me is steaming hot and has a wonderfully enticing aroma, making my mouth water.

"It looks pretty good." Su Youzi rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at her "masterpiece."

Duan Xingye served her a bowl, then served Jiang Mu another bowl, and finally served himself a bowl.

Jiang Mu couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, scoop out a large spoonful, and put it in his mouth.

"Wow! Delicious! So delicious!" she exclaimed as she ate.

"Yuzu, your cooking is amazing! I declare that you are the pinnacle of culinary skills in my eyes!"

Su Youzi was amused by her exaggerated reaction, "Eat more if you like it."

Jiang Mu nodded repeatedly, saying indistinctly, "Delicious, delicious, so delicious I want to swallow my tongue!"

Duan Xingye couldn't help but shake his head.

He picked up the spoon and slowly took a sip of soup.

The rich and savory broth instantly fills your mouth, the shrimp meat is bouncy and smooth, and the rice is distinct yet fully infused with the delicious broth, leaving you wanting more.

He couldn't resist taking another spoonful, savoring it carefully, and then turned to look at Su Youzi, his eyes full of admiration.

"He's even better than the chefs at those five-star hotels."

Su Youzi proudly raised her chin:

"Of course! I can't speak for everything else, but when it comes to cooking, I'm pretty good at it."

Jiang Mu chimed in from the side, "That's right, that's right! Our Youzi is a treasure girl who can be elegant in public and skilled in the kitchen!"

She glanced at Duan Xingye and smiled slyly.

"I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry such a wonderful girl in the future."

"Even delicious food can't shut you up," Su Youzi said with a helpless smile.

The table was quiet for a while as Jiang Mu was engrossed in the food, eating two bowls and wanting more.

Unfortunately, her belly was about to burst, so she had to stop.

"I'm full!" She leaned back lazily in her chair like a well-fed cat.

Su Youzi had already put down her chopsticks and bowl, took out a tissue and handed it to Jiang Mu, smiling as she said, "I can tell you're really full."

Jiang Mu winked at her.

"I'm not just full, it's absolutely delicious!"

Su Youzi glanced at her with a smile: "You're so sweet-talking!"

Jiang Mu chuckled, stood up, and began clearing away the dishes.

"Let him do it. Washing the dishes is his job." Su Youzi glanced at Duan Xingye, signaling him not to sit down.

Duan Xingye stood up, feigning helplessness.

"No need, no need, I can do it." Jiang Mu said with a smile, "I'm too full, I need to digest."

"Oh, thank you," Duan Xingye said without any politeness.

Su Youzi smiled helplessly.

Jiang Mu carried the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, humming a song as she quickly began washing them.

At this moment, Duan Xingye walked to Su Youzi's side and said in a lazy tone:

"I'm too full. Come with me for a walk."
