Zhao Jun and his girlfriend stood there, trembling with anxiety as they awaited their fate.

Their lives now rested on a single word from Qin Tuo.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Tuo slowly waved his hand.

Seeing this gesture, Zhao Jun felt as if he had been snatched back from the gates of hell.

Qin Tuo said,

”Let it be. They just made a mistake. It doesn’t warrant death.”

Hearing this, Long Wu quickly nodded.

”Yes, Mr. Qin!”

Still, Long Wu shot Zhao Jun a harsh glare. After all, the man had nearly caused a disaster for him.

Zhao Jun and his girlfriend let out a huge sigh of relief. At the same time, they were extremely curious. ’Who on earth is this Qin Tuo? Why is Long Wu so terrified of him?’

As far as Zhao Jun knew, Long Wu was the top dog in Ming City’s underworld. Why would he be so afraid of a young man?

Zhao Jun couldn’t help but speculate about Qin Tuo’s identity.

But to his surprise, Qin Tuo spoke again.

”However, since they feel Ming City is just a small town, send them back where they came from. A small place like this can’t possibly accommodate people from the big city like them.”

Hearing Qin Tuo’s words, both Zhao Jun and his girlfriend stared in utter disbelief.

They were kicking themselves with regret. They never should have said those things on the plane.

Only then did Long Wu realize what had happened. ’So this punk dared to badmouth Ming City?’

He nodded firmly and said,

”Yes, Mr. Qin. I’ll send them packing right away!”

With that, he shot a vicious glare at Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to utter a single word in protest.

”What are you still standing here for? Get lost! You’re not welcome in Ming City!”

Long Wu said coldly.

Zhao Jun could only nod frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, not daring to argue.

The couple had gone to all the trouble of coming to Ming City for Xue Qingqing’s concert, but in the end, they had to leave in disgrace without even getting a glimpse of her.

”My apologies, Mr. Qin. I’m sorry that guy bothered you.”

Long Wu apologized to Qin Tuo as he watched the pair leave.

Qin Tuo waved his hand.

”It’s fine. Have there been any problems at the villa while I’ve been away?”

Qin Tuo was, of course, asking about Chen Man Ni’s safety. Long Wu smiled and nodded.

”Don’t worry, Mr. Qin. Everything is fine at Half Moon Bay.”

Hearing this, Qin Tuo’s mind was put at ease.

Inside the Half Moon Bay Villa, Chen Man Ni was in the kitchen, wearing an apron and trying to learn how to cook.

She had already made a complete mess of the kitchen, and a burnt smell wafted from the stove every now and then.

But Chen Man Ni was undeterred, happily engrossed in her efforts to master a few signature dishes.

As Chen Man Ni cooked, she thought gleefully to herself, ’When Qin Tuo gets back, I’ll be able to cook him a delicious feast and really impress him!’

Just then, Ouyang Feifei heard the commotion in the kitchen and came in.

Seeing Chen Man Ni’s flustered, frantic state, Ouyang Feifei rolled her eyes in exasperation.

”Feifei, quick, come teach me how to do this!”

Seeing Ouyang Feifei, Chen Man Ni acted as if she’d found her savior and immediately pleaded for help.

Ouyang Feifei could only sigh.

”Manni, just give up. I really don’t think you have a talent for cooking!”

Hearing this, Chen Man Ni’s face fell with disappointment.

But a moment later, she said with determination,

”I won’t give up, Feifei! After all, they say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I have to learn to cook well, or some little vixen who can cook will come and steal Qin Tuo away!”

She said it casually, but Ouyang Feifei, standing beside her, felt an instinctive pang of guilt, thinking Chen Man Ni was talking about her.

So, Ouyang Feifei replied subconsciously.

”Don’t worry, Manni. I would never try to steal Qin Tuo from you!”

The moment the words left her mouth, she realized how they sounded, and her face flushed crimson.

Chen Man Ni froze for a second, and the atmosphere suddenly grew awkward.

Just as Ouyang Feifei was about to explain, Chen Man Ni broke into a sly grin and said teasingly,

”But Feifei, if you did want to steal him, I’d be willing to share. What do you say? Want to think it over?”

Ouyang Feifei’s mouth fell open, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.

”Haha! Feifei, look at how guilty you seem! Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about it?”

Chen Man Ni added with a laugh.

Exasperated, Ouyang Feifei lunged playfully at Chen Man Ni’s neck, and the two of them dissolved into a fit of roughhousing in the kitchen.

Just then, Qin Tuo returned to the Upper Moon Bay Villa.

The moment he stepped through the door, he heard laughter and playful shrieks from the kitchen, which made him pause in confusion.

’What are they doing in there?’

The two women were still laughing and fooling around in the kitchen, completely unaware that Qin Tuo had returned.

”Okay, okay, stop! Get serious and teach me how to cook!”

Chen Man Ni stopped joking and said with a serious expression.

Ouyang Feifei nodded, then gave a helpless, wry smile.

”Manni, I really don’t think you have a knack for cooking. This isn’t something you can master in a day or two!”

Chen Man Ni pouted determinedly.

”Don’t worry! I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to master the art of cooking, and when Qin Tuo gets back, I’m going to blow him away!”

Qin Tuo, who had heard that last part, couldn’t help but smile as he called out,

”Oh? And what’s going to blow me away?”

”Ah! Qin Tuo, you’re back!”

Chen Man Ni stuck her tongue out in surprise. She spun around and saw Qin Tuo standing in the kitchen doorway, watching them with a grin.

The moment Ouyang Feifei saw Qin Tuo, she subconsciously lowered her head, a blush creeping up her cheeks as she avoided his gaze.

Qin Tuo didn’t notice Ouyang Feifei’s guilty expression. Instead, he walked over and pulled Chen Man Ni into a hug.

”Hey, can you two stop with the PDA the second you see each other?”

Ouyang Feifei’s complaint broke the awkward tension.

Chen Man Ni giggled and said,

”If you don’t mind, Feifei, you can join in!”

”Hey! You brat, what are you saying? You’ll just say anything, won’t you!”

Ouyang Feifei looked so flustered she seemed ready to hit Chen Man Ni, leaving Qin Tuo feeling a bit awkward as well.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to the several dishes that Chen Man Ni had nearly finished cooking.

”Manni, did you make all this?”

Qin Tuo’s attention shifted to her cooking.

Chen Man Ni nodded and smiled.

”Go wash your hands. It’s time to eat!”
