Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Chapter 1091: Jiang Xue Matters Most

And the food in the fridge confirmed her suspicion.

Jiang Xue thought as she quickly picked through the vegetables. In no time, she had everything ready for the evening’s stir-fried dishes.

After washing, cutting, and preparing the ingredients, Jiang Xue took a short break and noticed the rice she started cooking was almost done. That’s when she began stir-frying the dishes.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, which made Mr. Mu’s fingers twitch in anticipation. He secretly swallowed hard several times, luckily escaping Housekeeper Lin’s notice.

However, because he was playing with Little Reunion, Little Reunion saw him and even imitated him, swallowing exaggeratedly. But Mr. Mu didn’t notice.

Jiang Xue prepared eight dishes in total, which, along with Mu Qiancheng, was just right for four people—two dishes each—and also made a soup.

As she was cooking the last dish, Mu Qiancheng came home. He had received Jiang Xue’s message in the afternoon, but because he was in class and didn’t have his phone with him, he hadn’t replied.

As soon as he saw the message after class, he rushed home immediately. To make it easier, he borrowed Gong Bei’s car, who complained about it.

Because Gong Bei was planning to drive to see Wang Yuning himself. Over the years, Gong Bei had dated girlfriends, but none lasted long.

Until he met Wang Yuning, who amazed him at first sight, making him feel like spring had come. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and win her over.

Honestly, he was already very envious of Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue’s displays of affection. Actually, Mu Qiancheng didn’t do much, and Jiang Xue was far away in South City, but even so, Gong Bei felt that they were always showing off their love.

Because he often took out his phone to look, especially when dining with them. Often, while eating, the phone would ring with a message or call, and then you’d see Mu Qiancheng answer it with a lovestruck look.

In Mu Qiancheng’s eyes, it was the most normal thing, but it deeply affected him, someone who was single. Now, with a new goal, he wanted to win her heart.

And it was clear that Wang Yuning had feelings for him too. As long as he put in a little more effort, Wang Yuning would surely be his.

However, Gong Bei’s little plans were unknown to Mu Qiancheng. At the moment, his mind was only on getting home quickly to see Jiang Xue. Of course, it would be even better if those two big third wheels weren’t there.

Gong Bei watched as Mu Qiancheng drove away in his car, leaving him without a ride home, so he had to borrow a car from a fellow comrade.

Fortunately, Gong Bei had a wide circle of friends and had known quite a few people even before he entered the military academy. Some had been his friends since childhood. So borrowing a car wasn’t too difficult.

After getting a hold of a car, Gong Bei’s resentment towards Mu Qiancheng lessened a bit, and he drove back to the compound.

Back at the compound, he didn’t even have time to eat; he grabbed the chocolates he specifically bought for Wang Yuning and went to find her.

As for Mu Qiancheng, after he got home, Jiang Xue immediately called him to eat. But, considering he’d been training all day and was sweaty, Mu Qiancheng decided to take a shower first.

During the hot summer days, showers were quick, especially since Mu Qiancheng always took fast showers. After a few minutes, he was done, changed into fresh, clean clothes, and headed to the kitchen.

As for Mr. Mu in the living room, he was completely ignored. No joke, even if Mr. Mu was his grandfather, Jiang Xue was more important in his heart.
