Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Shen Muyan Came to Mooch Breakfast

A Maserati Quattroporte, a luxury car worth nearly 2 million, appeared at the gate of Lu Qin’s small yard. It immediately caused a stir in the neighborhood’s ‘information squad’. Most people didn’t recognize the Maserati logo, but they could tell it was a very expensive car.

Zeng Guiping and He Huiwen, a mother and daughter duo, both had sharp eyes and recognized the trident logo. Moreover, it was a sports sedan, surely worth over a million. The mother and daughter were first stunned, then puzzled, wondering if the Maserati owner had come to find Lu Qin.

Then, they saw the car door open, and a tall, elegant woman with beautiful features stepped out. She was dressed in a high-end black business suit, her black hair long and straight like ink. The woman had exquisite, stunning features, with skin as pale and flawless as snow, exuding both coldness and elegance.

He Huiwen looked at the woman’s makeup-free but captivating face and felt self-conscious, especially when she saw the woman’s wrist adorned with an extremely valuable Patek Philippe watch. She couldn’t help but clench her fists.

At the same time, she thought to herself, Could this gorgeous, wealthy woman have any connection with Lu Qin?

Then, the woman didn’t knock on the door but took out her phone and made a call. Soon, the iron gate of the small yard opened, and Lu Qin naturally let the woman in.

He Huiwen’s heart was filled with a mix of emotions. Just a moment ago, Lu Qin had told her that the child was sleeping and shouldn’t be disturbed, but now he was letting another woman in. This indicated that their relationship was more than ordinary.

At first, He Huiwen thought that she might be a good match for Lu Qin, but now, seeing the woman who was clearly more suited for him, she felt unworthy. Looking at the man she had set her sights on, she knew she couldn’t have him. It made her feel miserable.

Zeng Guiping also looked very displeased. He never expected that Lu Qin already had a woman, and that this woman was superior to his daughter in every way. It was clear that there was no hope for his daughter.

He regretted not acting sooner and letting his daughter make a move earlier. These days, men were in high demand, especially those who could cook.

Wang Guifen looked at the faces of Zeng Guiping and his daughter, who looked as if they had constipation, and felt secretly pleased. Other neighborhood ladies shared the same feeling of satisfaction, thinking that Zeng Guiping’s daughter wanted to date Lu Qin, but it was a pipe dream.

The woman who had just arrived, looking like a goddess, was the one who was truly deserving of Lu Qin. They were a perfect match, a couple of talent and beauty.

So, the ‘information squad’ began chattering, saying things like, “Only such a woman deserves Lu Qin,” “I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman, she’s like a celebrity,” “She doesn’t even wear makeup, but her skin is as smooth as white jade, so pretty...”

Zeng Guiping and He Huiwen heard all of this, their faces turning dark and green, their hearts pricked as if by needles. They couldn’t bear to listen anymore and hurriedly left.

Shen Muyan’s visit surprised Lu Qin a little.

“What are you doing here?” He asked.

Shen Muyan was dressed formally and grandly.

She explained, “I have an important hotel catering meeting today, and I came to have breakfast here so I wouldn’t starve during the meeting.”

For some reason, ever since attending a parent-child event with Lu Qin the day before, Shen Muyan didn’t feel embarrassed about coming to mooch breakfast. If necessary, she would even pay.

Lu Qin smiled and said, “You treat my place like a breakfast shop?”

“A private breakfast shop, don’t worry, I won’t skimp on the payment,” Shen Muyan replied with a wealthy woman’s attitude.

Lu Qin didn’t mind Shen Muyan coming for breakfast. He thought the little one would be happy to see her mother.

“What time does the meeting start?” Lu Qin asked.

“9:30.”

“Alright, you go wake the little one up, and I’ll make breakfast.”

Lu Qin entered the kitchen and took five bamboo boards from the steamer. The translucent ice crystal cakes emerged, emitting a tempting aroma of rice cakes. The ice crystal cakes couldn’t be eaten just yet. They needed to cool down to develop their soft, sweet flavor.

Lu Qin then started cooking breakfast, putting the second pot of mung bean soup on the stove.

The crystal shrimp dumplings had already been steamed in a large basket, but Lu Qin first put a plate of them aside.

He ladled three bowls of mung bean soup and placed them in the fridge to cool. It was almost the start of summer, and the temperatures were rising. It was best to drink the soup slightly chilled in the morning to help open up the stomach.

Shen Muyan opened the door to the small bedroom, and the little one seemed to be feeling hot. Her white, soft feet kicked off the blanket, and she held a carrot pillow while mumbling something unintelligible.

Shen Muyan didn’t want to wake her up but knew breakfast was the most important meal, so she walked over and gently pinched the little one’s nose.

“Mm… Hoo…”

The little one made a noise, slowly waking up.

“Eh? Rich lady, what are you doing in my room?” The little one asked groggily.

“What did you call me?”

Shen Muyan’s face darkened.

“Aren’t you being a little too cheeky?”

“Rich lady! You bought Daddy a car yesterday,” the little one replied.

“...”

Shen Muyan flicked her forehead.

“Ah!” The little one cried out in pain, and her big eyes slowly became clearer.

“Mama, why did you flick my forehead?” She asked.

“You called me ‘rich lady.’”

Shen Muyan scolded.

“I... I wasn’t fully awake. I was still dreaming!”

“Even in your dream, you called me that. Now, you deserve the punishment,” Shen Muyan said and raised her hand again.

The little one hurriedly slid off the bed and ran barefoot to find her father. She found Lu Qin in the kitchen and immediately hugged his leg.

“Papa, mama wants to flick my forehead!” She cried.

“Well, you have to accept it. She’s a reasonable person, and you must have done something naughty again,” Lu Qin said with a smile as he continued cooking noodles.

The noodles boiled and were rinsed under cold water. Then, minced garlic was added to the pot, creating a sizzle and filling the air with a fragrant aroma.

Gulu~!

The little one’s attention was drawn to the food, and her stomach growled. Shen Muyan, who was also hungry, walked over and leaned against the kitchen sliding door, watching Lu Qin cook.

In the past, Shen Muyan had little appetite in the mornings. She usually just had a cup of coffee for breakfast and couldn’t even stomach a boiled egg. Over time, she gave up on breakfast.

Later, she developed a mild stomach condition, and the doctor advised her to make sure to eat breakfast. That’s when she started eating again, but only a little, as she still didn’t have much appetite. She couldn’t eat things like buns, fried dough sticks, or hot dogs, and could only manage porridge or some corn. It was more of a task than a pleasure.

But after tasting Lu Qin’s ice crystal cake, Shen Muyan’s taste buds opened up. She even enjoyed the fried rice noodles he made for breakfast, and her appetite greatly improved without feeling greasy.

“Yao Yao, go wash your face and brush your teeth, then have breakfast.”

“You also go sit at the dining table; the kitchen is too smoky.”

Lu Qin shooed both mother and daughter out, then closed the kitchen door and turned on the range hood. Breakfast was simple but aromatic chicken noodle soup, which tasted amazing. Both the beautiful mother and daughter ate a large bowl, even finishing the soup.

They also ate a whole plate of shrimp dumplings, about fifteen or sixteen pieces. When Shen Muyan left, Lu Qin gave her two boxes of ice crystal cakes, in case the meeting lasted too long and she got hungry.

Shen Muyan took the cakes, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Qin. How could there be no lunch provided for such a big meeting? Still, she felt warm inside. She took out her phone and sent Lu Qin a red envelope.

“I’m not eating for free, I’ve paid.”

Shen Muyan kissed Lu Qin’s daughter, Lu Xiyao, and the little one returned the kiss.

Then, they waved goodbye, and the Maserati Quattroporte drove out of the community.

“We should pack up too and go set up a stall. Today, let’s let Yao Yao be the little boss,” Lu Qin said.

“Little boss? Okay!”

The little one’s eyes instantly sparkled.
