Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

"So that's how it is?" Murong Quan stroked his chin, looking at Shi Xiaxia with a doubtful expression.

He had never been involved in metaphysics, even though there were many things that proved Xiaxia to be a master of metaphysics.

However, Murong Quan had not seen it with his own eyes and could not fully believe it.

"I'll listen to you!" Su Yueke suddenly raised her head and said to Shi Xiaxia with a firm look in her eyes.

"I not only want to be with Shen Yu, I also want to catch the person who caused us to break up!" Her eyes were full of hatred.

Just as Shi Xiaxia said, if it weren't for that person, she and Shen Yu would never have ended up like this!

Su Yueke understood what Shi Xiaxia was saying; she knew who was behind it all but hadn't told her.

Su Yue wasn't too stupid; she already had a vague guess in her mind.

"Ah."

Shi Xiaxia nodded and said to Murong Quan, "It's getting late, so we'll be going now."

After saying that, Shi Xiaxia pushed her wheelchair to leave.

"Etc., etc!"

Murong Quan stood up, smiling as he followed Shi Xiaxia: "What are we having for dinner? I haven't eaten yet!"

Qiao Zihao stared blankly at Murong Quan, seemingly not expecting him to be so shameless.

"what happened?"

He looked at Qiao Zihao and said with a smile, "I've been talking to Su Yue for so long, I've done my part, haven't I? Can't I even get a meal for myself?"

Qiao Zihao was already quite dissatisfied with Su Yueke, but now that Murong Quan has joined the fray, he's about to explode.

Qiao Zihao said in a very unpleasant tone, "Our family's ordinary meals are probably not worthy of Young Master Murong, so we won't embarrass ourselves."

"Young Master Qiao, what are you saying!"

Murong Quan put his hand on Qiao Zihao's shoulder, like a good friend: "I don't like to eat anything expensive, I just like home-cooked meals."

"It's a pity I didn't buy enough groceries for you."

Qiao Zihao said with a forced smile, "If Young Master Murong really likes home-cooked meals, why not just hire a housekeeper?"

"Sigh! Business is tough these days!"

Murong Quan sighed, "I'm already living beyond my means, where would I get the money to hire a nanny?!"

Besides, I've already decided on your and Shi Xiaxia's roles, so having a meal together isn't unreasonable, is it?

Qiao Zihao: "..."

He was completely speechless.

Murong Quan shamelessly followed them back to the villa and got a free meal.

After finishing the meal, he praised Qiao Zihao's cooking skills and said he would come again another day. Then he touched his mouth and left, which made Qiao Zihao very angry.

For the next two or three days, Murong Quan would come uninvited from time to time, and Qiao Zihao could not get rid of him, so he could only get angry.

Fortunately, Murong Quan mostly teased Su Yueke and didn't bother Shi Xiaxia much, so Qiao Zihao's aversion to him wasn't as strong.

......

Two days later, Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao received a notification from the production team that they had been successfully selected for the film.

Qiao Zihao already knew the result, so there was nothing surprising about it. He and Shi Xiaxia simply started preparing for their group's entry into the production.

Murong Quan rushed over in a flurry: "Great news! Fantastic news!"

"Ok?"

Qiao Zihao, thinking something new had happened, asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"You and Shi Xiaxia auditioned!"

Murong Quan patted Qiao Zihao on the shoulder: "Isn't this good news?!"

Qiao Zihao rolled his eyes and muttered, "What kind of good news is this? Didn't you say it would work out earlier?"

"That's good news too!"

Murong Quan casually put his arm around Qiao Zihao's shoulder and winked at him, "I went to great lengths to help you two pass the audition! Aren't you going to do something for me?"

Qiao Zihao looked at Murong Quan and for a moment didn't know what to say to mock him!

If Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao fail the audition, then we should start to doubt Murong Quan's abilities!

"I don't care! I don't care! I did the work! You have to treat me to a meal!" Murong Quan directly resorted to shameless behavior.

Su Yue, who was also helping to pack, couldn't help but laugh when she saw Murong Quan like this, saying, "You're a top star, and a young master of the Murong family, are you short of a meal?"

"Of course it's bad!"

Murong Quan moved closer to Su Yueke, watching her tidy up her things in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but smile and say, "You've tidied up really well, can you help me tidy up too?"

Su Yue rolled her eyes at him: "Don't you have an assistant?!"

“Well, you’re not Qiao Zihao’s assistant, so why can’t you help me out since you’re helping him with all the chores?!” Murong Quan said without any hesitation.

"It's not convenient!" Su Yue didn't want to pay attention to Murong Quan and wanted to leave, but he held her wheelchair down.

"Let go!" Su Yueke glared at him.

"I'll pay you your salary!"

Murong Quan, being a bit cheeky, tugged at Su Yueke's hair: "How about you become my assistant and I'll pay you double the salary?"

"No!" Su Yueke refused outright: "I'll only stay with Xiaxia!"

Murong Quan immediately groaned and began to exaggerate: "Ah! You are so cruel! I think Qiao Zihao has to treat me to two meals to make up for my wounded heart!"

"What does this have to do with me?!"

Qiao Zihao rolled his eyes at him, utterly speechless: "Another excuse to freeload!"

"This is a reasonable demand!"

Murong Quan argued logically: "I've already arranged roles for you and Shi Xiaxia! What's wrong with having two meals together? You're being too stingy!"

Two meals?

Qiao Zihao glared at Murong Quan, wishing he could slap him twice: "Every time you come to eat, you always use the same excuse. What, are you planning to eat here for the rest of your life?!"

“It’s not impossible…” Murong Quan said with a smile.

"Dream on!" Qiao Zihao shouted angrily.

After he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something. Then he chuckled and went to find Shi Xiaxia, whispering something in her ear.

After hearing this, Shi Xiaxia glanced at Murong Quan, a smile playing on her lips, and then nodded.

Murong Quan's expression turned serious, and he looked at Qiao Zihao and Shi Xiaxia with some wariness.

He warned, "I've treated you all very well! You can't harm me!"

"Oh no! How could this be!"

Qiao Zihao chuckled and patted Murong Quan, comforting him, "I was just discussing with Xiaxia where to eat later! How could you think of me and Xiaxia like that?"

"Heh, you're full of bad ideas. If you weren't thinking of anything wicked, the sun would rise in the west!" Murong Quan glanced at Qiao Zihao, crossed his arms, and looked like he knew him very well.

"Are you overthinking things again?!"

Qiao Zihao gave a forced smile: "But if you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do. It'll just be the three of us going to dinner later!"

"I go!"

Murong Quan quickly replied, "Of course I'm going! I want to see what tricks you're up to!"
