Chapter 720: Warm Home (6)_1
Huo Yuan laughed: "Since my sister appreciates me, she might as well grant me permission to stay for lunch. I presume the meals at the mansion this afternoon must be very grand and coincidentally, I’ve yet to settle my luncheon!"
"Yes, yes, Big Brother Huo, please dine at our home!"
Before Cai Wei could say anything, the two youngsters were already clapping their hands in agreement.
Cai Wei froze, surprised to find that, unbeknownst to her, Huo Yuan had already bribed the two kids. As soon as they heard he wanted to stay for lunch, the brothers were overjoyed, clapping their hands!
She shrugged her shoulders, adopting an air of resignation: "Look, you’ve already influenced my family’s internal affairs. If I disagree, won’t I become the public enemy of my own home?"
Huo Yuan laughed cheerfully – a laugh as warm as sunshine: "In that case, I will be depending on you, sister..."

At noon, the meals at the Mu Family were indeed grand: Roast Suckling Pig, Braised Salmon, Old Hen Chicken Soup, Hibiscus Prawn Balls, Spicy Prawns, Grandmother’s Steamed Meat, Abalone with White Ling Mushroom, Stir-fried Winged Beans, and remarkably, there was even a plate of Sugar Coated Watermelon which was unattainable at this time of the year...
Looking at the lavish spread of delicacies on the table, Cai Wei exclaimed in astonishment: "Mother, have we struck it rich?"
Lady Du glanced at Huo Yuan, then smiled bashfully: "Ah, didn’t expect my daughter to make fun of her own mother. If we struck it rich, wouldn’t it have been the doing of Young Master Huo? All I did was prepare the chicken soup, the rest were all courtesy of Young Master Huo!"
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei turned her jocular smile towards Huo Yuan: "So, Big Brother Huo, is it a custom of yours to carry your own delicacies when you dine at others’ homes?"
