Chapter 277 - Stirring the Maiden’s Heart (2)
After Mu Huan said this, she suddenly realized something. She turned to look at Bao Junyan, as though feeling a need to explain something.
“I’m no chef, but if there’s a chef whose food you crave, we can hire him. If you marry a chef, you can enjoy only the delicacies made by one person. You married me though, so you can eat all the delicacies in the world.”
On this note, Bao Junyan smiled as he handed her a custard bun.
Mu Huan: “…!!!”
That would stir any young girl’s heart!
Li Meng: “…!!!”
No wonder everyone wants to marry a rich person! One could eat every delicacy in the world!
Wu Xingye: “…!!!”
With the existence of men like Bao Junyan, life would be hell for all other ordinary men!
With people like him around, who would be able to snag a girl?!
When there’s a means of comparison, someone’s bound to be damaged! And now, Wu Xingye felt damaged beyond repair in Bao Junyan’s presence! Hence, after breakfast, he quickly left with Li Meng.
Bao Junyan was pleased with Wu Xingye’s show of tact.
He looked toward Mu Huan and asked, “Have you decided where to go?”
Mu Huan thought for a bit and replied, “Let’s go to West Street Hutong! It’s got an antique flavor and there’s lots of good food there! We can eat and sightsee!”
Bao Junyan replied, “The food there is not that great. Let’s go to the Forbidden City to sightsee. I’ll take you to Ma’s Private Restaurant tonight.
The Forbidden City was worth a trip.
As a foodie, Mu Huan of course knew what a big name Ma’s Private Restaurant was. She nodded immediately.
She’d go anywhere with good food!
However…
“How would Hubby know that the food at West Street Hutong is not that great?” He didn’t look like the sort who would go to hot tourist spots.
“I grew up in the Imperial Capital.”
“Why did you spend your childhood here?” Wasn’t the Bao family Yun Cheng’s wealthiest family?
“Dad is from the Imperial Capital. At the time, he had gone to Yun Cheng to develop his business for Mom’s sake. Eventually, because my maternal grandad was posted back to the Imperial Capital, everyone came here.”
“Oh…” Mu Huan knew very little about Bao Junyan. Hence, given that they were on this topic, she was most curious. She continued, “And how did you end up going back to Yun Cheng and even hosting a blind date banquet there?”
“Because I had some disagreements with Grandad, and I didn’t want the constant nagging.” Many of the companies held under Bao Junyan’s name, and even the Bao Group’s headquarters, were located in the Imperial Capital. After what happened, they were all moved to Yun Cheng.
“What sort of disagreement?” Mu Huan was like a curious cat, wanting to know everything.
“He wanted me to undertake other things that I had no interest in.”
“Like what other things?” Wasn’t it good just being a rich man? Why was his grandfather making him do other things?!
Bao Junyan answered, “Things that I didn’t like.”
Mu Huan: “…”
Of course they were things he didn’t fancy! But she wanted to know what exactly these were.
“And so you…” Mu Huan wanted to ask more.
Bao Junyan got up onto his feet, however, and said, “If you want to sightsee, we should go now. It’s a resting day today and it’s going to be crowded. If we went late, we’d only get to see other human beings.”
There had always been huge tourist crowds at the Forbidden City, and it was only made worse by the fact that it was a Sunday.
Seeing that he didn’t want to elaborate, Mu Huan did not persist.
“If we’re going to the Forbidden City, I want to change into something more retro so that I’ll look pretty in photos!” After all, Mu Huan was a young girl. Of course she’d want to take pretty pictures of herself when out on a fun trip.
“Okay.” Bao Junyan turned around to instruct PA Wang to contact the photographer.
When Mu Huan heard this, she quickly grabbed and stopped him. “Why are you getting a photographer?! You can take pictures of me!”
They were only out on a fun trip — there was no need to mobilize those sorts of resources.
Bao Junyan was slightly taken aback. He didn’t like his own pictures being taken, and neither had he ever taken pictures for other people
