Chapter: 977
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Then coming to Shangri-La is not a mistake."
As he finished speaking, he turned to Paul on his right and said, "Paul, sir, how do you feel about Chinese cuisine? Are you still accustomed to it?"
Paul laughed and said, "Mr. Ye, don't forget I'm half-Chinese too. To be honest, compared to American fast food and Western cuisine, I prefer eating Chinese food."
As he was speaking, Paul suddenly exclaimed, "Oh yes, I should tell you - my mom's cooking is really top-notch! She's the best Chinese chef I've ever seen, with exceptional culinary skills."
Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "I never thought Han Meiying would be so beautiful and have such a great personality, and she can cook too!"
Han Meiying humbly said, "Don't listen to this young man's nonsense. He's just flattery-talking on my behalf."
Xiao Changkun couldn't help but sigh as he listened: "In the past when we were in school together, you would always say you wanted to cook for me, but back then everyone was living away from home and never had a suitable opportunity. Time has passed quickly - it's already been over 20 years since then, and I have to admit that this meal is one that I still haven't tasted......"
Han Meiying smiled slightly, speaking seriously: "Well, if there's an opportunity, I can cook for you folks to try. But I must warn you beforehand that my cooking isn't as good as Paul says it is, so don't get your hopes up and then be disappointed."
As soon as Xiao Changkun heard this, he was suddenly filled with excitement, asking forthrightly: "Really? When do you have time?"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Changkun eagerly said: "If you have time, we can schedule it at my place! Then I'll tell you what dishes to make or which ones to choose directly. You just cook, and I'll take care of everything else, so all you have to do is focus on cooking."
Han Meiying looked a bit embarrassed and said: "Is this suitable? Ma Er shouldn't know about this, right?"
As soon as Xiao Changkun told Han Meiying about his and Ma Er's broken relationship, he said that they had already been separated, but didn't elaborate on the specific reasons. He also didn't mention Ma Er's current whereabouts.
So Han Meiying still thought of them just living apart, still sharing a house, so she wasn't too keen to go to Xiao Changkun's place, fearing another encounter with Ma Er, who was not someone she had good relations with.
Xiao Changkun hastily waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "You don't need to worry about her; she's not at home right now, and doesn't know when she'll be back anyway, so it's uncertain whether she'll come back soon or not."
He then added: "In my opinion, seize the day! Let's have lunch at Shangri-La first, then you two can go back to your hotel for a good rest. We can all gather together in the afternoon and go to my place; I'll introduce my daughter to you, and we can cook and eat together!"
Xiao Changkun's consideration was quite simple because he worried that Ma Er might suddenly come home within the next two days.
If she suddenly came back home, then he wouldn't have such a good opportunity any more.
He was so dead set against it that he didn't dare invite Han Meiying to his place when Ma Er was still at home.
If that were to happen, Ma Er would probably take a knife to kill herself.
So he thought. If you want such an opportunity, you must do it quickly, and the faster the better.
Han Meiying couldn't help but think back then.
Because she was from Suzhou, so when she was at university in Jinling, she could only live in the dormitory.
Moreover, back then, everyone who fell in love was more shy and low-key, and didn't dare let their family know, so she had always wanted to make a meal for Xiao Changkun, but hadn't found a suitable opportunity yet.
At that time, it wasn't as convenient as now.
Now if you want to find a place to have dinner with your lover, you can simply look for a hotel apartment or short-term rental, and the problem will be solved. The kitchen is fully equipped, after all. JrNovels.com
