Chapter 1449: I Went to Kill Someone
The second morning arrived at the Lu family’s private residence, Ye Fan and Mengyao had been staying at Lu family’s private residence for two days.
Last night, Ye Fan returned to the Lu family’s private residence quite late, but Mengyao wasn’t particularly worried about this.
After a night of battles, there were plenty of upheavals under Jin City, but this had no impact on the Lu family’s private residence.
No matter how chaotic it was outside, here remained peaceful, even if Lu Qianqian, Sixue, and Qi Haomin, who were involved in the incident, stayed here, anyone with ill intentions towards them wouldn’t dare act rashly.
Not to mention the security at the Lu family’s private residence was very well organized, just having Mengyao and Ye Fan here was a significant assurance.
No force would rashly make a move against the Lu family’s private residence, because the consequences of angering Ye Fan and Mengyao are not something ordinary people could bear, so under such circumstances, Lu Qianqian and others were safe, no one dared to make reckless plans.
Even if someone was monitoring, they only watched from outside the Lu family’s private residence, not daring to make any improper actions.
Whether the forces hidden under Jin City or the ones shown in plain sight, all treated the Lu family’s private residence as forbidden territory, even if things happened, no force had the guts to directly attack the Lu family’s private residence.
Lu Binwang knew this early on, so letting his daughter, Sixue and her father stay with Ye Fan and Mengyao was perfect, it was a natural shield, thus Lu Binwang had no worries, he felt quite at ease.
As outsiders had speculated, whether it was the group led by Xigu Xiu, Clive and Charles, or the Black Cat Team, all voluntarily refrained from targeting the area around the Lu family’s private residence.
Although Lu Qianqian and Sixue and her father were prime targets, under the watchful eyes of Ye Fan and Mengyao, no one dared to mess around, fearing they might provoke the taboo existence and bring disaster upon themselves.
Ye Fan and Mengyao were preparing breakfast, Sixue and Lu Qianqian appeared together.
"Mr. Ye, what did you do last night? We didn’t see you all night?" Lu Qianqian asked curiously, she was chatting with Mengyao along with Sixue until late so didn’t know when Ye Fan returned, hence the question.
"When I returned last night, you all were already asleep, so you didn’t know." Ye Fan explained, kindly saying, "As for what I did, best not to know, and don’t blindly inquire."
"It’s not some secret, can’t we chat about it?" Lu Qianqian persisted, her mischievous eyes full of suspicion.
"I went to kill people, are you still interested in knowing more?" Ye Fan looked at Lu Qianqian and the curious Sixue with amusement.
"Honestly, not very interested." Lu Qianqian hesitated then said: "But, the things you do are big, I know that we are safe and undisturbed all thanks to you and Mengyao’s protection."
"Keep that bit of awareness, be cautious, and don’t cause us trouble." Ye Fan said meaningfully.
"We’re all peers, we know the seriousness, so we act appropriately." Lu Qianqian pouted, "Could you stop talking with that old-fashioned tone? It makes people uncomfortable."
"Mr. Ye, we won’t cause trouble, rest assured." Compared to Lu Qianqian’s rebuttal, Sixue was very quiet, she listened to Ye Fan and didn’t want to argue too much, she preferred to focus on her tasks.
"Stop the chit-chat, let’s get ready for breakfast." Mengyao chuckled softly.
Breakfast was served on the table, and the four sat down one by one, enjoying the meal.
"I must say, the breakfast you made tastes great, I can’t help but eat more." Sixue said sincerely to Ye Fan and Mengyao, "I don’t get how you decide to spend time on such boring things as making breakfast. I usually just wing it, eating without much demand, as long as it’s comfortable, but eating what you made, my appetite is piqued, I want to eat more, stay more days with you, I’ll surely gain weight."
The idea stems from her own standpoint, she isn’t particularly picky about food, comfort is key.
Yet precisely this word ’comfort’ is often the highest pursuit, but achieving comfort is not easy.
However, in her inner world, the wealth and status Ye Fan and Mengyao held were unparalleled.
Yet these wealthy individuals were so plain, doing even breakfast themselves, it hardly fits the image of rich people.
With money, what chef couldn’t they hire, what meal couldn’t be a matter of a single word?
Sixue wasn’t inclined to dedicate herself to the kitchen, so she naturally saw Ye Fan and Mengyao personally making breakfast as a waste of precious time.
"How is it boring? Like making breakfast, it’s a part of life, doing it yourself makes it taste best, and it has the essence of life." Mengyao responded to Sixue’s query.
"Part of life?" Sixue pondered, then respectfully said: "I admire you."
"It’s not about admiration, everyone has different pursuits." Mengyao said calmly: "Actually, cooking is a profound art, immerse yourself and discover its charm."
"I can’t cook, but your breakfast is really delicious." Lu Qianqian said seriously: "My family’s cook isn’t as skilled, the taste you create evokes traditional old stores."
"Enjoy it then, eat more." Mengyao smiled.
"Definitely won’t leave a bite, I’ll be well fed. Truly, to taste something made by you two is an honor not everyone can enjoy." Lu Qianqian said solemnly: "Who are you two but exceptional figures, even across Huaxia, you’re top tier, tasting your breakfast is brag-worthy for a lifetime."
"Don’t exaggerate so much, flattery is unnecessary." Ye Fan said bluntly.
"Such a downer, this is not flattery!" Lu Qianqian protested: "We’re seriously expressing heartfelt admiration, can’t you be more serious?"
"Exactly!" Sixue chuckled, siding with Lu Qianqian.
