Chapter 287: Chapter 287: I Performed Very Well
And her clear, sweet voice floated into his ears: "I think you’re overthinking it."
Then came the sound of the door opening and a slight sound of it closing.
Back in the room, Munni’s smile, which she’d held back for a while, finally bloomed on her face, amused by Yisen’s tension and confusion.
She sat in front of the vanity, skillfully picking up various skincare products and applying them one by one on her face.
After taking care of her skincare, she walked to the bed and found the phone she’d tossed there earlier. Upon unlocking it, she saw an unread text message.
She opened the message from Xia Yuge: [Thank you, I believe Warm and Cui Jingxian will break the chains of reality and get back together. What do you think?]
Munni originally didn’t plan to reply to Yu Ge’s message, but after thinking about it, she felt that ignoring the ’renowned author’ would be impolite, so she honestly replied: [Oh, I haven’t read that novel, and I don’t plan to. If you think so, then it must be, after all, you’re the author.]
The honest words subtly indicated that her previous congratulatory message was purely out of politeness—listen to it but don’t take it seriously, as she wasn’t interested in wasting time reading his novels.
Having replied to Yu Ge, Munni went downstairs, expecting that Yisen had already left, but unexpectedly found he was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for her.
Soft lighting shone upon him, emitting a gentle glow.
Munni walked to the bar and sat down, propping her chin on one hand, earnestly observing the busy figure at the kitchen counter.
Such a mundane task like cooking appeared particularly exquisite on him, elegance tinged with a whimsical leisure, nobility laced with a hint of gentle warmth.
Yisen placed the prepared breakfast on the plate, looked up, and flashed a slight smile towards Munni, who was staring at him.
Against the light, the smile on his face seemed like a beam of light piercing through the darkness, radiating unparalleled brilliance.
Yisen set the prepared breakfast portions in front of Munni on the bar, then took off his apron and sat beside her.
Then he spoke, warmly introducing today’s breakfast: "Vegetable sandwich, with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and American cheese. The fruit platter has apples, strawberries, and blackberries. Oh, and your favorite fresh milk."
"Thank you. Having the chairman cook personally is indeed a bit of an overkill."
Munni lightly raised her eyebrows, with a subtle smile in her teasing words.
"Since you think so, I must offer to warm your bed." He paused, smirking with a hint of mischief as he spoke in a low voice: "I’m quite skilled at bed warming."
Munni silently rolled her eyes, sensibly choosing to stay silent and not continue the topic with Yisen.
After breakfast, Yisen put the dishes in the dishwasher to clean, said goodbye to Munni, changed at home, and drove to the company.
Meanwhile, Munni, having rested at home for many days, finally returned to work at the restaurant. The media and fans who had gathered at the entrance earlier were no longer stationed outside.
When she arrived at the restaurant, it was already noon. The employees, upon seeing the long-absent boss, seemed quite excited.
Manager Zhong Luoyi greeted Munni and then followed her into her office, briefly reporting on the last few days’ status and performance of the store.
Finally, he suddenly remembered something and spoke with a slight dilemma: "Boss, there’s one more thing I’d like to report to you."
Munni nodded gently, signaling him to continue.
