Chef Hua

Hua Xiaomai always felt like an inexperienced little girl in front of him, easily startled and lacking the dignity and class, which invariably left her feeling somewhat begrudging. She sighed and recounted yesterday’s observations to him.

"I didn’t know who those two were, so I didn’t dare to blurt it out, to avoid startling the snake in the grass. I was hoping you would come home early to discuss it and think of a strategy. But you, you didn’t show up all night! I was so worried!"

Meng Yuhuai did not seem surprised at all; he just pondered for a moment and soothingly patted her on the head: "I indeed had something important last night, you worked hard."

Is that it?

Big brother, I know you’re usually calm, but seeing that the Escort Agency might face calamity, shouldn’t you lose your composure a bit?

"Hey, can you show some reaction, please? This matter is closely related to your Escort Agency! Don’t think that two little mice can’t stir up a storm, it’s you who told me that the Escort Agency always values its reputation greatly. What if..."

Hua Xiaomai furrowed her brow tightly, muttering to herself. She accidentally glanced up at Meng Yuhuai, and saw not only was he unfazed, but his smile had even broadened, making her suddenly realize: "You... you knew all along, didn’t you?"

"What do you think?"

Meng Yuhuai finally managed to "snatch" the little walnut away, freeing a hand to lead her sitting down in the yard: "When we are not escorting, the people in the Escort Agency are all in one place from morning to night, especially the newcomers, who are particularly noticeable. You just visited once and noticed something wrong. Those two have been in the Escort Agency for several days now. Do you think I am so heartless that I wouldn’t know anything about this?"

Hua Xiaomai breathed a huge sigh of relief.
