After breaking up, I picked up a beautiful vampire girl.

"You boy."

Li Muhan pointed at Xia Yue and said with a smile.

"Quite smart."

Just at this moment, the elevator door in front of Xia Yue opened.

The two walked in, and after the elevator door closed, Xia Yue said lightly.

"That's nothing, because I used to come here quite often."

"what?"

Li Muhan turned around and looked at Xia Yue, feeling a little unbelievable, but soon he was relieved. Xia Yue was originally picked up by Lin Ze and brought back to the Special Management Bureau. She was his guarantor, and Lin Ze was Xia Yue's guarantor. Lin Ze must have brought her to this private restaurant for dinner.

"So how's the food at this restaurant?"

Li Muhan asked.

Xia Yue pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"She cooks, alright."

"Ah? She? Who?"

"Lin Ze."

???

Li Muhan was filled with questions. What was going on? This shop was owned by Lin Ze?! Wasn't she a public official?! How dare she open a shop without permission?!

"She opened a shop and even cooks for herself. She seems busy all the time, but I didn't expect she has such skills. She's a real craftsman."

"What kind of store is this? This is her home."

...?

Li Muhan was silent.

His brain seemed to have crashed at this moment, and it took a long time for it to restart.

This is Lin Ze's home, so it seems natural for Lin Ze to cook for him personally.

but.......

"Hahaha... your joke just now was so funny..."

Li Muhan tried to hear Xia Yue say, yes, I was just joking with you.

But Xia Yue remained silent. She just slowly turned her head, looked at him, and then revealed a weird smile.

A few minutes later.

Li Muhan stood in front of the door, his hand hovering over the doorbell but he didn't dare to press it.

Was Xia Yue kidding? She had to be. This was definitely a private restaurant.

Lin Ze is so busy and is his leader, how could it be possible...

Ding-dong-

Seeing that Li Muhan's hand was still hanging, Xia Yue stood on tiptoe and pressed the doorbell for him.

"I'm ready."

"I'm not ready yet!"

In any case, the doorbell rang, and there were slippered footsteps inside.

click-

The door opened, and Li Muhan was ready to greet Lin Ze's face with an indifferent smile.

I wonder what Lin Ze looks like in home clothes. I think I've only seen her in black suits. Suddenly, I'm a little excited.

"Welcome home, two masters~"

"..."

Li Muhan and Xia Yue looked at the person who appeared in front of them with expressionless faces. It was not Lin Ze, but Su Xue. And the clothes Su Xue was wearing at this time were...

Maid outfit...

The black and white long maid outfit and white stockings are a perfect match, especially when worn by such a super cute pink-haired beauty.

bang-

Li Muhan took the initiative to hold the door handle, closed the door, then pointed at the door and said to Xia Yue.

".....Is this the Lin Ze home you mentioned?"

"..."

Xia Yue also fell silent. She seemed not so sure anymore. The door was opened again.

"What are you doing! Brother Mu Han! Am I not doing well enough?!"

When he saw Su Xue's face again, Li Muhan regained some of his composure.

He held Su Xue's shoulders and asked seriously.

"Tell me, Taozi, is there any special mission?"

Su Xue looked at Li Muhan and nodded.

"Yes, Brother Mu Han, there is indeed a very important mission, which is..."

"Sister Xue! Stop standing at the door and come help!"

Lin Ziyu's voice was heard in the room, and Li Muhan became even more confused. What was going on?

"Anyway, you two, get in here quick!"

Su Xue dragged both of them into the house without saying anything.

After entering the room, Li Muhan found that although the apartment was not large, every corner was spotlessly clean.

There are no complicated paintings or glittering decorations on the walls. The furniture is simple and bright, and there is not even a single extra pillow on the sofa.

He seemed to be able to feel from these details the homeowner's almost obsessive pursuit of cleanliness.

The entire space is dominated by white and light wood tones, and appears warm and simple under the gentle light.

There are several pots of carefully trimmed plants on the windowsill. They grow there quietly, adding a bit of vitality and elegance to the space.

"coming?"

At this time, a familiar voice came from the kitchen. It was Lin Ze.

Li Muhan felt relieved when he heard Lin Ze's voice, because Su Xue suddenly walked out in a maid outfit and really scared him. But when Lin Ze appeared at the kitchen door, Li Muhan was completely confused.

Is that girl wearing a short maid skirt, black stockings, and a maid hair accessory really the Lin Ze I know?

But the indifferent smile on her face was definitely her!

"Director Lin! You, you, you, you are...?"

The word "Yinpa" did not come out of his mouth in the end. If he really said it, he was afraid that he would be thrown down directly from the 35th floor.

“Well, I don’t quite understand the preferences of you young people, but according to Lin Ziyu’s script, if I want to satisfy you, it seems that I have to wear this dress.”

Lin Ze raised her hand slightly and looked at her maid skirt. It seemed that even she was trying this style of clothes for the first time.

"Director Lin! I, I, I, all I want is an ordinary dinner!"

Although Li Muhan felt embarrassed to refuse the kindness of his leader and colleagues, the people who came were his adoptive parents, and it would be inappropriate for them to be dressed like that.

Su Xue and Lin Ze stood together, seemingly discussing something, and then Li Muhan found that Lin Ziyu also came out of the kitchen. He was wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and seemed to be helping Lin Ze cook.

"Captain!? Are you okay?! This is a man's highest pursuit!"

"I know! I understand!! I love watching it too! But it's inappropriate!"

"Alas, you are still too restrained. If you ask me, we should shorten the maid skirt a little more..."

Before Lin Ziyu could finish his words, Su Xue knocked him unconscious with a light blow of her hand.

"Alas, Brother Ziyu is still too unreliable."

Su Xue picked up Lin Ziyu like a chicken, and took the kitchen knife that slipped from his hand.

"Then... Director Lin, let's use my backup plan next."

Su Xue carried Lin Ziyu and turned to look at Lin Ze expectantly. Lin Ze seemed to think about it for a moment and finally nodded.

Li Muhan looked at these people and suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Chapter 35 Getting ready for dinner

Ten minutes later, Lin Ze and Su Xue both changed out of their maid outfits and put on more casual clothes.

Su Xue chose a white turtleneck sweater, simple yet warm. She paired it with a black pleated skirt, which maintained her usual elegant and dignified style while adding a touch of youthful energy. She wore the same white stockings as before, giving her the look of a girl next door.

Lin Ze changed into a loose, comfortable, soft-colored lavender sweater.

Different from Su Xue's slightly playful student-like outfit, Lin Ze exudes the gentleness and tranquility unique to mature women.

She wore a pair of slim-fit jeans on the lower body, which reflected her simple and pragmatic style in home clothes and formed a soft transition with the sweater.

The entire look demonstrates its low-key and restrained beauty in both color matching and style design.

"Okay, stop explaining! I can see it myself!"

Li Muhan interrupted Lin Ziyu who was giving a detailed introduction to the two girls' attire.

After waking up from the coma, he has been listless, as if he was a little disappointed because his plan was rejected.

"Captain, have you really never considered my plan?"

Lin Ziyu spoke again, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

He imagined the scene: the two ladies put on maid costumes, respectfully called Li Muhan their master in front of his adoptive parents, and served him attentively. How wonderful the scene would be.

"..."

Xia Yue glared at Lin Ziyu, her gaze like a sharp ice knife. Lin Ziyu immediately shut up after sensing her almost tangible anger, but not long after, he whispered to Li Muhan secretly.

"I've also prepared a smaller set that's suitable for flat chests. Why don't you take it back? Maybe later..."

After being slapped by Xia Yue, Lin Ziyu fainted again.

Then Xia Yue turned to Li Muhan with a slightly red cheek.

"Do you... like this... game?"

Li Muhan scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "Well...all men probably like it a little bit."

There was a hint of helplessness and a wry smile in his voice, and he was not sure how he should answer this question.

Lin Ze and Su Xue went into the kitchen again, leaving only Lin Ziyu, Li Muhan and Xia Yue in the room.

At this time, Xia Yue was curled up on the sofa, drinking Coke and watching TV, and seemed not to care about the conversation between Lin Ziyu and Li Muhan next to her.

"Well, Ziyu, I just want a normal dinner..."

"I know, Captain, but when you told Director Lin about this, there was no turning back."

"??? Why?"

"You may not know this, but Director Lin is very keen on inviting people to her house for dinner..."

Holy shit, Lin Ze has this hobby?

"She didn't originally," Lin Ziyu explained. "A year ago, she seemed to have signed up for some leadership training course—'How to Be a Good Leader.' After she came back from the training, she started having people over to her house for dinner every day."

Li Muhan was a little stunned: "So we are now being treated as 'experimental subjects'?"

"Don't worry." Lin Ziyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Director Lin's cooking skills are indeed very good."

Smelling the fragrance coming from the kitchen, Li Muhan felt a little relaxed.

He himself is also very knowledgeable about cooking, and the taste represented by this is indeed a delicacy that will make people feast on it.

Although he felt quite embarrassed and helpless about being suddenly and somewhat strangely dragged to the leader's home for dinner, at least in terms of taste, it seemed to be a pleasant and worthwhile experience.
