The car stopped outside a high-rise apartment building in Saigon. Qiaowen saw that the place was secluded and unfamiliar on all sides, and it really didn't look like a place that would harbor any good restaurants.
He wondered and asked, "What kind of restaurant is here?"
Qin Yunfei turned the car off and turned his head back, "I forgot to tell you, my boss is going to invite you to eat at his apartment, he's personally cooking." Saying that, he looked at him with a smile, as if he wanted to see him reveal a terrified and hesitant expression.
Unfortunately, Qiaowen only frowned lightly before saying in a faint voice, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
Qin Yunfei was slightly stunned, restraining his smile and resuming his usual sneer, "I really underestimated your guts."
Qiao Wen pulled the corner of his mouth in disbelief, it wasn't that he really had a lot of guts, but with his judgment of Lin Zi Rui, a demon that was so deeply hidden wouldn't be able to use such underhanded means.
He opened the car door and got out, following Qin Yunfei as he walked into the apartment building.
The elevator stopped at the top floor, Qin Yunfei walked up and rang the doorbell, the door was quickly opened from the inside. Lin Zi Rui, a gentle and elegant face, appeared behind the door, "Ah Wen, you're here!"
He was still wearing a shirt and pants indoors, his sleeves slightly rolled up, his body straight and jade-like. If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many suspicions and guesses weighing on his mind, it would be really hard for Qiao Wen to feel bad in the face of such a gentlemanly and handsome face that was extremely similar to that of his late husband.
He took a dark, deep breath and laughed, "Didn't realize Jeffrey that you, a young lord, knew how to cook."
Lin Zirui said, "Don't you know how difficult the food is in England? It's also hard to hire a private chef with good skills. After I graduated from high school, I had my own apartment, in order to compensate for the stomach that had suffered for a few years after me, I simply learned to cook by myself, but I don't dare to say how much skill I have. Today it so happens that the company has nothing to do after the meeting, come back to cook on a whim, I also just try to let Fei go to see if you're on the set, I didn't expect it to be a real coincidence."
As he spoke, he sidled up to let Jovian into the house.
"Means I have a mouthful today." Jovian stepped in and laughed.
Qin Yunfei, who was standing in the doorway, also went along to go in, but was gently blocked by Lin Zirui: "Fei, I don't need to go out again today, you go back and rest."
Qin Yunfei hesitated slightly, his gaze crossing over him to look at Qiao Wen inside, the other party's face was calm, seemingly unconcerned about his current situation. He laughed coldly in his heart, even maliciously hoping that Qiao Wen would ruthlessly suffer a loss, perhaps this would thwart that lofty arrogance in him.
He nodded at Lin Zirui and turned to leave.
Lin Zi Rui closed the door behind him and smiled as he looked over at Qiao Wen who was waiting behind him, revealing a Sven's handsome smile, "Wen, go in and have a seat."
Jovian smiled back and followed him through the foyer hallway to the living room. The apartment was simply decorated, making the whole room look spacious. Qiao Wen was about to go and sit down on the sofa when his eyes caught a glimpse of a sandbox next to him, he stopped in his tracks and asked curiously, "You love playing with this?"
Lin Zi Rui said, "Occasionally when I'm alone I'm too bored and will play around a bit. You sit down for a while, and when the borscht in the pot is ready, we'll have dinner."
Jovian nodded, "Good."
Lin Zi Rui entered the kitchen, the ringing of food faintly wafting through the air, signaling that this was a good cook. Qiao Wen stood in front of the sandbox, frowning slightly at the game in the sandbox.
It was the red and blue sides fighting a battle that looked similar to a game of chess, except that they couldn't tell if they were winning or losing. What was more curious to Qiao Wen was that the general of the blue side, instead of leading the troops in front, was sitting on a high hill, as if looking down on the battle below.
He was looking mesmerized when Lin Zi Rui came beside him again at some point, seemingly casually asking, "What? Are you interested in this?"
Jovian shook his head and laughed, "Never played before kind of curious." He reached out and pointed to the blue general at the top of the hill, "This is the commander in chief right, why is he here? If it's really a double-barreled engagement, how does he command?"
Lin Zirui said, "A commander-in-chief, if he wants to win a battle, the most important thing is to lay out a plan in advance. The fact that he's here means that everything has been in his grasp for a long time, so he just needs to watch the show."
Jovian nodded thoughtfully.
Lin Zirui casually asked again, "If you were the commander-in-chief, what would you do?"
Qiaowen said, "If there's a real war, I don't have what it takes to be commander-in-chief."
Lin Zirui laughed out loud, reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Come on, let's go eat."
Jovian follows good advice.
Lin Zi Rui's cooking was really good, even the plating was very elaborate, the steak was served with broccoli and small tomatoes, garnished with rosemary. The borscht was served in a white bone china soup bowl, giving off a rich aroma, and two glass bowls contained a tossed fruit salad.
Qiao Wen recalled Chen Canaan used to cook, cook a pot of noodles, a variety of meat and vegetables a bone added to it, spicy oil and pickles is not less, the appearance is really not complimentary, but eat up is always unexpectedly good, a pot to eat, the two are usually propped up on the stomach, have to lean on the sofa to rest for a long time to ease over.
Thinking of this, he smiled to himself. If that guy knew that he had come to Lin Zirui's house for dinner, he would only be so angry that he would jump out of his skin again.
Lin Zi Rui had noticed the slight upward curve of the corners of his mouth, and while serving him half a bowl of borscht, he asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"
Qiao Wen took the bowl and said thank you, raising his eyes to him and smiling, "I was thinking that it would be a real honor to eat the delicacies made by Young Master Lin's own hands."
Lin Zi Rui was clearly amused by his words and lightly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's also an honor for me to let Ah Wen eat a meal I made with my own hands. I didn't make any special preparations today, and what I made was very simple, so I'll treat Ah Wen to Chinese food some other day."
"Good." Jovian bowed his head and began to eat slowly.
Regardless of how dangerous a character Lin Zirui really was, it was clear that there would be no problems with this simple but delicious lunch. After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them sat on the sofa and chatted for the better part of an hour before Qiao Wen got up to say goodbye.
The elevator descended to the first floor and had just opened, and before he even stepped out, Qiao Wen saw Qin Yunfei lazily leaning against the door with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.
When he saw him, he straightened his body slightly and the corner of his mouth hooked as he looked him up and down playfully.
Qiao Wen walked out of the elevator and lightly said as he continued to walk out, "Lin Zi Rui didn't poison the rice, I've let you down."
Qin Yunfei followed him and said coldly, "Ah Man, I'll cooperate with you."
Jovian stopped and turned his head to look at him, "Why?"
Qin Yunfei said, "I want to see if you're wrong."
Jovian asked rhetorically, "What if I'm wrong?"
Qin Yunfei shrugged, "It means you're nothing more than that."
Qiao Wen laughed, "Then there's no need to see if I've made any errors in judgment, because I was originally nothing more than that. But ......" he held out his hand, "Fei, good cooperation."
Qin Yunfei wasn't as frivolous as before this time, and only lightly shook his hand, saying, "If Lin Zirui is really like what you say, leave his life to me."
Jovian said, "I don't kill people, and if he's truly guilty, it should be left to the law to decide."
Qin Yunfei snorted lightly in contempt, "Naive!"
Qiaowen shook his head in disbelief, his gaze lightly sweeping the androgynous face in front of him, thinking to himself that this man was truly paranoid to the point of insanity, and that he had originally loathed him a great deal a little bit, but that he now sympathized with him a little bit.
The odds are that a person doesn't know how to live for themselves because they weren't treated well growing up, so they've made the little bit of kindness they got to ever receive their faith for the rest of their lives.
Zhao Shanhai was a son of a bitch who didn't make it to the end, but with such a loyal henchman, it wasn't a waste of time.
