CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 65 KE LIAN BRAND BIG WHITE STEAMED BUN_3

Sun Mulin agreed, perhaps thinking that Zhang Kongyan’s request was nothing to him, or perhaps he still remembered that Zhang Kongyan entered the entertainment industry for his sake.

In any case, the matter between Sun Mulin and Zhang Kongyan seemed to have been turned over years ago, and Zhang Kongyan had made a comeback after being out of the entertainment industry for a while. Forgetful fans mostly forgot Zhang Kongyan’s past and continued to support her voice and listen to her heart as they did before.

But every time he accidentally ran into Zhang Kongyan, Sun Mulin still found it hard to suppress a bit of dislike and disdain.

Seeing the chief director come in, Sun Mulin "retreated with honor," sat next to Du Xixi, took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat, and then shrugged apologetically under the indescribable gazes of Du Xixi and Ke Lian.

He didn’t mean to curse for so long, just... couldn’t hold back for a moment!

How the chief director handled it was something Du Xixi and the others didn’t pay much attention to; anyway, the chief director was a perceptive person, knowing that he needed to protect the completely innocent Du Xixi and Ke Lian in this matter, so nothing unfair would happen.

Looking at the time, there were actually only a little over ten minutes until the arrival time the director’s team sent over, Ke Lian thought for a moment and said to Du Xixi, "How about I make lunch today, just to leave everyone with a good impression."

"Hehe, that’s a fresh thought," Sun Mulin teased his own brother unabashedly, "Are you sure you cooking will leave everyone with a good impression? Won’t people be poisoned instead!"

Sun Mulin’s words didn’t come from nowhere. He had visited the Ke Family quite a few times and often saw Ke Lian getting chased out of the kitchen by Du Xixi, the reason being "he’d ruin the Ke Family’s lavishly decorated kitchen." Sun Mulin only assumed it was because Du Xixi’s cooking skills were so good, creating a stark contrast with Ke Lian.

But there was another time when it wasn’t Du Xixi and Ke Lian in the kitchen, but Ke Lian and the Ke Family’s butler robot, and Ke Lian seemed to be seeking culinary advice from 2569 at that time.

And the result? Ke Lian was smoothly loathed by 2569 as well. 2569, who had mastered the essence of Du Xixi’s disdain, even said after driving Ke Lian out: "If I let you step into the kitchen again, my lady won’t be named Du!"

It was clear, even a butler robot merely programmed by software despised him, demonstrating that Ke Lian’s nature as a kitchen hazard wasn’t just for show.

Du Xixi’s smile clearly didn’t last either. She looked at Ke Lian, with a meaning in her eyes that couldn’t be clearer: Are? You? Sure?

Seeing his wife and brother both distrusting him so, Ke Lian wasn’t happy. He didn’t care what the chief director was reprimanding about on the side, nor what kind of comments the viewers were sending in the live stream, he just rolled up his sleeves and headed to the kitchen with vigor.

"Ke Lian’s big white steamed buns, you, deserve to have it!"

Du Xixi watched as he slowly walked away, the smile at the corner of her mouth never faded, and she was momentarily reminded of the afternoon following her marriage to Ke Lian.

At that time, she had made many spicy strips with yuba, their relationship becoming much closer for the first time. Back then, she also spoke with the same proud tone as Ke Lian now: "Du Xixi’s spicy strips, you, deserve to have it!"

Du Xixi withdrew her gaze with some emotion, feeling time had passed quickly, just then noticing some commotion from the kitchen, where Ke Lian had just gone in and now came out again with a dark face.

The chief director was engrossed in his lecture, so only the viewers of the live stream, Du Xixi, and Sun Mulin noticed Ke Lian’s brief in-and-out of the kitchen, which took but a few seconds. Du Xixi frowned and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"The kitchen is empty," Ke Lian coughed, finding the saying "even a clever woman can’t cook without rice" all too apt for his current situation.

Even in the fully equipped kitchen of the Ke Family, Ke Lian could manage to cause indiscriminate destruction, so now in an empty kitchen without even an electronic pot, he felt he might as well start dismantling the bricks at the corner of the wall.

This was something Du Xixi and the others hadn’t considered. Du Xixi noticed the chief director’s admonishment seemed to be wrapping up, so she quickly asked, "Chief director, is the kitchen not going to be used? Why is it empty?"

The chief director was eager to have the three of them leave quickly and, hearing the question, arched an eyebrow first, curious as to why Du Xixi was asking about the kitchen, then replied promptly: "The meals for the guest amateurs are delivered by a dedicated team three times a day, so the kitchen... is unused."

Du Xixi heard this and didn’t know how to feel. She had taken a quick glance at the villa’s kitchen earlier, which couldn’t compare to the Ke Family’s kitchen, and none of the necessary appliances were there, but when the chief director said the kitchen was "unused," Du Xixi felt uncomfortable.

A kitchen, turned into something merely for display. What, even "Stone Rice" can now be mass-produced? That wouldn’t make it even worse?
