Zhang Yanxi hung up the phone, went back to the kitchen and asked for a bottle of the restaurant's special rose water and went over. If Wang Jing asked him to chop Li Mubai, Zhang Yanxi wouldn't dare to do it, he would have to flatter him a lot.

Zhang Yanxi knocked on the door a few times, and when he heard someone say "Come in", he pushed the door open and went in.

"Mr. Li, do you like the food?"

Li Mubai nodded as he picked up some food for Jiang Li. "It tastes good. Boss Zhang is really amazing. This restaurant is doing very well. Without you, Wang Jingruo's restaurant would definitely not be able to continue."

Zhang Yanxi waved his hand politely: "No, no, Jingruo is also very capable, he and I just have different divisions of labor."

Wang Jingruo is smart, creative, and picky, but he has no patience and is not good at serving others, so he is only the boss behind the scenes, responsible for pulling resources. But Zhang Yanxi is practical, thoughtful, careful, slick and polite, so he is responsible for the actual operation of the restaurant. The two are like fish and water, and neither can live without the other.

"Mr. Li, this is the rose water that our restaurant brews itself. It's not too strong and tastes sweet. I'll give it to you and this lady to try."

Li Mubai was not driving himself today, and Chen Luo was still waiting outside, so he nodded.

"Thank you, Boss Zhang, for your kindness."

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

After Zhang Yanxi finished speaking, he stepped out, and his guess became more certain.

Li Mubai helped her pick up some food! Evidence chain plus one!

Zhang Yanxi had been waiting outside the box, and he would personally deliver every dish that was served from the kitchen.

Every time he went in, Zhang Yanxi became more certain of his guess.

Looking at Li Mubai's attentive look, picking up food, pouring tea and handing out tissues, he wouldn't believe that she wasn't his girlfriend.

But what about Wang Jingruo?

Didn’t you say you were coming to see gossip?! The dishes are all here, why haven’t the people arrived yet?

As a result, when Wang Jingruo arrived at the restaurant, Li Mubai had already left.

Wang Jingruo was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Didn't I tell you to keep him here? Why did you let him run away?"

Zhang Yanxi was also helpless: "Brother, you said you would come right away, but look at the time now! Three hours have passed! How can I keep someone here!"

"I've sent wine, desserts, bird's nest with rock sugar, and snow frog with almonds. If you keep sending more, Li Mubai will realize that something is wrong."

"They've already finished two rounds of dessert and you haven't arrived yet! Did you come here on foot?"

Wang Jingruo was also very angry when he said this. "I met a few brats on the road! Damn it! They dared to cut in line! And they even dared to make gestures to me. I was so angry that I bumped into them and directly smashed the rear end of their car! As a result..."

Zhang Yanxi rubbed his swollen forehead and said, "So you ended up in the police station, right?"

"I'm telling you, can't you be less angry? I know you know someone in the bureau, but you can't do this!"

Wang Jingruo said disapprovingly, "If others provoke me, I won't be allowed to do anything? If I don't teach them a lesson, they won't even know how to write the word '王'!"

Zhang Yanxi really had no way to deal with this young master, so she had to ask someone to pour him a cup of tea to calm him down. She then listened to him complain for more than half an hour before letting the matter go.

When Jiang Li got up the next day, she felt dizzy.

Last night, the rose water tasted sweet and refreshing, just like a drink, so Jiang Li didn't control herself. But she didn't expect that although the alcohol content was low, she drank too much, so when she woke up this morning, her mind was still a little confused.

There was a glass of water beside the bed. She gulped down the water, shook her head, and when she finally regained consciousness, she walked with zombie-like steps to brush her teeth and wash her face.

After washing and changing clothes, Jiang Li supported her heavy head and went downstairs. When she reached the back half of the stairs, she looked up and saw the person sitting in the living room, and her steps paused for a moment.

She thought she was still sleepy and couldn't help but reach out and knock on her head again. This silly scene inadvertently made the two people who were drinking tea laugh.

When Li Xingmu stretched out his hand and shook it, Jiang Li realized that this was not a dream.

Li Xingmu?

Why is he here?

"Good morning, little cousin!"

"Little? Cousin? Sister-in-law?"

Jiang Li tilted her head, trying to think whether she had heard it wrong or Li Xingmu had said it wrong. Jiang Li glanced at Li Mubai who was sitting next to Li Xingmu and found that he was laughing while holding a cup of tea, and she didn't know what he was laughing at.

Seeing that Jiang Li was obviously still not sober from her hangover, Li Mubai waved to her. When Jiang Li came over and sat down, Li Mubai explained, "I didn't introduce him to you before. In fact, Li Xingmu is my distant cousin."

"Oh!"

Jiang Li suddenly realized that Li is a common surname, and there are many people with the surname Li in the entertainment industry, so Jiang Li had never thought about this before. Now that Li Mubai has revealed it, Jiang Li finally realized what Li Xingmu meant by "little cousin". For a moment, her cheeks flushed, and she dared not even look at Li Mubai.

There were guests at home today, and Mrs. Sun was very happy. She cut fruits and prepared snacks, treating Li Xingmu like a child.

"Sister Sun, please stop working so hard. I'm not a child. I can take care of myself."

Mrs. Sun handed him some sugar water and said with a smile, "In my heart, you are all children no matter how old you are."

Jiang Li got up late today, and it felt like lunch time had arrived after she had sat for a short while.

Li Xingmu stayed for lunch that day, and Mrs. Sun specially cooked a table full of dishes.

"These are the foods you loved to eat when you were a child. Come and try them."

Li Xingmu picked up a dish with chopsticks and nodded vigorously to show respect: "This is the taste, Mrs. Sun, your cooking skills haven't changed at all, I love this taste."

Mrs. Sun smiled like a flower: "As long as you like it, eat more. There's more in the pot! I'll pack it for you and you can take it home."

"Wow! You can still pack it up! I hope my brother Bai won't be reluctant to part with it!"

Li Xingmu pretended to look at Li Mubai, but he didn't expect Li Mubai to immediately say seriously: "Well, I can't bear to part with it, don't take it!"

Li Xingmu: …

Why am I doing this!

After lunch, Jiang Li was much more awake. Not wanting to disturb their conversation, Jiang Li ran to the yard to see the flowers. Unexpectedly, Li Xingmu followed her.

First, he said that he had eaten too much at noon, so he followed her out to digest the food. He then praised the well-grown potted plants in the yard and the particularly fragrant flowers in their house.

Li Xingmu followed Jiang Li and chatted with her all over the place. Jiang Li could see that he was trying to get close to her, and she felt amused and curious at the same time.

As expected, Li Xingmu revealed his intentions before the third round of conversation.

At this moment, she was pinching the small leaves of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard, and asked shyly: "Um... little cousin, you..."

Jiang Li was not used to the title of "little cousin" and interrupted: "Don't call me that, just call me Jiang Li."

It's too early to call her "little cousin" before we even start dating! Li Mubai is such a fool. Why didn't he correct her just now?

Li Xingmu cleared his throat and continued, "Okay, then, little cousin Jiang Li, are you familiar with Qin Sisi?"

Jiang Li: ...

It seems that everything she said just now was in vain.

Forget it, some things really don't require any effort.
