MO Zixuan’s face turned white. Pain and jealousy mixed in his eyes. “She just married MO Xiuchen a few days ago and she’s already taking his side?” he spoke tersely. “If he really wanted to help you, he wouldn’t have made you his wife; expecting you to play the widower for the rest of your life.”

“I wanted it!”

Wen Ran’s eyes were cold and resolute. MO Xiuchen did not coerce her; it was her own choice.

“Ranran, how could you…”

“It’s my business, and it’s none of yours.”

Just as MO Zixuan began talking, Wen Ran cut him off. After saying that, she strided past him and left.

From six o’clock to eight o’clock, over the course of two hours, Wen Ran, a lady of leisure, somehow made a dish of sweet and sour ribs that looked, smelled, and tasted perfect.

Despite having no prior culinary skills, she was intelligent and picked up things quickly. Sister Li guided her through the process once, and she then took over. In the beginning, her movements with the spatula were clumsy, and when oil splashed on her hands, she just winced slightly and continued..

By the second try, she was more adept than the first. She persevered and practiced, and by the third and fourth times, she was finally able to produce a batch of sweet and sour ribs that tasted pretty good.

When she heard Sister Li say they tasted good, bursts of joy bloomed on her face. Ignoring the sweat dripping down her forehead and her red-hot cheeks, she enthusiastically asked Sister Li, “Really, Sister Li? You’re not just comforting me, are you?”

Sister Li fed her a piece of rib and replied, “Taste it yourself and see if I’m lying. If President Wen were here, he would certainly say that he should have sent you to learn to cook earlier, and now a beautiful female chef has been born.”

Mentioning her father, Wen Ran’s smile froze for a moment, a trace of sorrow revealing itself in her eyes. Pouting slightly, she composed herself and smiled again, “I’ll make another dish to bring to my parents so they can taste my cooking skills.”

“Sure, I’ll go with you.”

Wen Ran, who was highly respected by Sister Li, was the reason she stayed and helped the Wen family during their most difficult times without hesitation.

As Wen Ran made another dish of ribs and was about to exit the house, Sister Li’s husband, Chen Bin, was seen being supported by Qin Mu from the car apparently drunk.

When he saw her, astonishment flickered on Qin Mu’s face. Next to him, Chen Bin recognized Wen Ran immediately despite his drunken state and greeted her cheerfully.

Qin Mu explained to Sister Li, “I ran into brother-in-law at the restaurant. He was drunk so I brought him back. Where are you guys headed?”

Wen Ran didn’t expect to encounter Qin Mu. She was momentarily taken aback. She wasn’t ready to tell MO Xiuchen that she was learning to cook. She wanted to surprise him with two more dishes over the weekend.

Sister Li also knew what Wen Ran was thinking and asked for her consent before replying to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu saw the exchange of looks between the two ladies and said, “You should take care of your husband. I’ll take Miss Wen home.”

“Dearest, I have something important to tell you…”

Chen Bin broke away from Qin Mu and staggered towards Sister Li. Wen Ran didn’t want to impose on Qin Mu. However, given the situation, she couldn’t ask Sister Li to accompany her to the cemetery. She smiled and said, “Sister Li, you should take care of Big Brother Chen. Let Assistant Qin take me.”

Sister Li frowned as she glanced at Chen Bin, then she reached out to sturdy him. She instructed Qin Mu to ensure Wen Ran was safely brought back home.

Qin Mu responded with a “Don’t worry!” He turned around, opened the passenger door for Wen Ran and said, “My brother-in-law was sitting in the back and made it smell strongly of alcohol. It would be best if you sat in the front..”
