Chapter 62 Another freeloader arrives.
"Well..." Xue Bai chuckled and said, "I just wanted to try your cooking."
"Who are you to me? Why should I let you taste my cooking?" Ye Xiaoxiao smiled coldly.
"Xiaoxiao, since Assistant Xue is here, let's eat together. It'll be more lively with more people," Chu Xinglan quickly said.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Xinglan and said irritably, "He's holding the delivery bag from the best restaurant in the city. Are you sure he wants to eat our home-style dishes?"
Xue Bai hadn't expected Ye Xiaoxiao to be so perceptive. He quickly said, "Restaurant food is all about the gimmick. It can't compare to home-cooked meals. I love home-cooked meals. I just can't get used to the food in restaurants."
Xue Bai casually placed the takeout on the ground and sat down in a chair as if he were at home.
"Get out of the way, I don't want you here." Ye Xiaoxiao kicked Xue Bai's chair leg.
At this moment, Chu Xinglan said again, "Xiaoxiao, let him stay. After all, it's more lively with more people."
Xue Bai secretly gave Chu Xinglan a thumbs up.
That was truly a divine assist for him.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Xinglan, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Chu Xinglan took the opportunity to wink at Xue Bai.
Xue Bai immediately ran to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
"I'll eat, but if you want vegetables, forget it." Ye Xiaoxiao still wasn't friendly to Xue Bai.
"Xiaoxiao, isn't this a bit much? Who only eats rice and not vegetables?" Chu Xinglan said softly.
"It's alright, it's alright, I can enjoy the aroma of these dishes." Xue Bai quickly smiled.
Ye Xiaoxiao ignored him.
Xue Bai could only bury his head and eat his white rice.
"Xiaoxiao, aren't we being too heartless? He kindly brought us food, and we're just letting him eat plain rice?" Chu Xinglan tugged at Ye Xiaoxiao's arm, looking distressed.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Xinglan with a puzzled expression.
Why does she always speak up for Assistant Xue?
“Nobody made him stay here; he chose to stay.” Ye Xiaoxiao remained unmoved.
"Xiaoxiao..."
"Alright, stop praising him. I'm not that hard to talk to. Just eat and get out of here." Ye Xiaoxiao's expression was fierce, but she had clearly softened her attitude towards Xue Bai.
"Okay!" Xue Bai replied immediately, while secretly giving Chu Xinglan a thank you gesture while leaning on the table.
"Xiaoxiao, did you really make all of this? It's so delicious!"
Xue Bai praised it repeatedly, finding the food increasingly delicious, not only because it was tasty, but also because it was made by his wife. He felt it was the most delicious food he had ever tasted.
Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed at Xue Bai, who was wolfing down his food.
Although Ye Xiaoxiao was quite confident in her cooking skills, Xue Bai's eating habits really surprised them.
"Hey, you ate all the food, what are we going to eat?"
Ye Xiaoxiao picked up her chopsticks and tapped Xue Bai's arm.
Xue Bai then realized that he had been eating so much that he couldn't stop and had unknowingly eaten more than half of the food on the table.
"I'm sorry, this dish was just so delicious that it completely satisfied my taste buds, and I ate too much without realizing it," Xue Bai said apologetically.
Chu Xinglan and Ye Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, and thinking about Xue Bai's terrible eating habits just now, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Xue Bai, engrossed in enjoying both the beauty and the taste of the food, completely forgot about the most important thing. Gu Ye waited and waited at home, but Xue Bai didn't return, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.
This kid's just going downstairs to pick up takeout, why is it taking so long?
Gu Ye picked up his phone to call Xue Bai, when suddenly an idea struck him.
That kid probably ran off to the other side.
He glanced at the tightly closed curtains and gave a wicked smile.
Since his assistant was already there, there was no reason for him, the boss, to be alone at home. Besides, he was hungry right now, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to go over there to find Xue Bai. It couldn't be more reasonable!
So, not long after, Chu Xinglan's doorbell rang again.
"Who is this?" Chu Xinglan wondered. Who would be here so late?
"I'll go open the door." Ye Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks and ran to open the door.
The person standing outside the door was Gu Ye.
"Boss?!" Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Gu Ye in astonishment. Why was the boss here? Suddenly, Ye Xiaoxiao realized something. This was going to be interesting.
"Is Xue Bai here?" Gu Ye asked with a stern face.
"Yes, I'll go and call him for you right away."
Just as Ye Xiaoxiao was about to speak and call out to Xue Bai, Gu Ye said, "No."
He then walked straight inside.
Ye Xiaoxiao followed behind, secretly laughing to herself.
"Why are you here?" Chu Xinglan asked, looking at Gu Ye who was walking over.
Before Gu Ye could answer, Xue Bai immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly stood up.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I forgot about that."
Xue Bai looked like he was facing a major disaster. Oh no, he had been so happy that he had completely forgotten about his boss.
"How about... I send it over to you right now?" Xue Bai asked softly.
"No, since you're eating here, I'll eat here too." Gu Ye glanced at Chu Xinglan, and although it was just a brief look, his eyes seemed to melt her heart.
Chu Xinglan felt a jolt of fear and became somewhat nervous.
"Well... we don't have enough food here, you should go back and eat," Chu Xinglan said softly.
"It's okay, I brought a lot this time, the boss can stay here," Ye Xiaoxiao quickly said.
"Then why don't you stay here too, boss?" Xue Bai said, and quickly went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks for Gu Ye.
Because he was so busy lounging around here, he forgot that his boss was waiting at home for dinner. If he didn't leave him here, he was afraid that Gu Ye would skin him alive when he got back.
"Our boss is too precious to eat here, so we shouldn't let him stay," Chu Xinglan said hastily. She really didn't want Gu Ye to stay.
"Don't worry, I'm not a picky eater!" Gu Ye smiled gently, but his gaze was fixed on Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan blushed. Gu Ye flirted with her all the time, who could stand it?
"We wouldn't dare to wrong the big boss." Chu Xinglan insisted on letting Gu Ye leave.
"I'm not upset at all. It's nice to be able to eat with everyone and have a lively time!" Gu Ye smiled slightly.
Xue Bai immediately chimed in, "Xinglan, let the boss stay!"
If Gu Ye isn't spared, he's doomed.
“I also think it would be a bit heartless to kick the boss out now.”
At this moment, Ye Xiaoxiao also spoke up.
"Xiaoxiao!" Chu Xinglan glared at Ye Xiaoxiao fiercely. "You did this on purpose?"
That's right, I did it on purpose. This is what they call the wheel of fortune turning. Just like you helped Xue Bai stay, I'm going to help Gu Ye stay now. Let's see what you do then!
Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly felt the joy of revenge.
