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

Chapter 1382: Chapter 1382: Going Undercover

Walking into the dining room, seeing the appetizing dishes on the table, his appetite suddenly increased. It had been a long time since he had eaten a meal made by Jiang Xue. Smelling the familiar aroma, Mr. Mu felt he could eat at least another bowl of rice.

Once Mr. Mu sat down, Jiang Xue and Qian Cheng also took their seats. Even though Housekeeper Lin originally didn’t plan to eat with them, Mr. Mu and Jiang Xue insisted, so he finally sat down to join the meal.

As there weren’t many people, Jiang Xue only made six dishes and a soup. Considering the amount, it was already quite a lot for four people.

Initially, they thought there would be leftovers. Unexpectedly, in the end, all the dishes, including the soup, were finished.

Seeing the cleared plates, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but twitch her lips, feeling a mix of amusement and disbelief. At this moment, Mr. Mu suddenly said, "Xue’er, next time you cook, you can make a little more. Otherwise, it won’t be enough to eat."

"Okay!" Jiang Xue nodded in agreement, then moved to clear the tableware. But just as she was about to start, Housekeeper Lin spoke up, saying, "Young madam, you don’t need to do this; someone will take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue stopped her actions and accompanied Mr. Mu to the living room to watch TV. Qian Cheng also followed to the living room shortly after and chatted with Mr. Mu.

Watching the grandfather and grandson talking, Jiang Xue turned the TV volume down to the minimum and listened to their conversation while watching TV.

Qian Cheng chatted with Mr. Mu for a while, then planned to head home. Although Mr. Mu’s place was big enough to accommodate the couple, Qian Cheng felt that no matter how good Mr. Mu’s place was, it wasn’t as good as their own home.

In their own home, they felt much more at ease; it didn’t matter what they did. But it was different here; he had to be cautious, so he wasn’t very fond of it.

Mr. Mu had been young once, so he somewhat understood Qian Cheng’s feelings. He persuaded Qian Cheng a few times, and seeing his insistence on leaving, he didn’t press further but arranged for a driver to take them home.

In truth, Mr. Mu was quite reluctant to see them leave. Although there were many servants in the house, as he grew older, he felt increasingly lonely.

Noticing Mr. Mu’s reluctance, Jiang Xue hesitated, wanting to stay and keep him company. But since Qian Cheng wasn’t willing, she had no choice but to drop it.

Back home, Jiang Xue saw it was getting late, so she went to take a shower. Meanwhile, Qian Cheng stood by the window, talking on the phone with someone.

When Jiang Xue finished her shower and came out, she noticed Qian Cheng’s face looked a bit off. Concerned, she asked, "Qian Cheng, what’s wrong?"

"Xue’er, I just received a call from Mr. Lan. He wants you to work undercover. What do you think about it?"

Last time, Jiang Xue had mentioned this to him, and Qian Cheng always assumed it was Jiang Xue’s own idea. But after receiving Mr. Lan’s call today, he realized it was actually Mr. Lan’s plan.

However, being an undercover agent isn’t easy, so he really didn’t want Jiang Xue to go. Yet, as a soldier, for the sake of the country, sometimes sacrifices must be made, leaving him very conflicted.

On one hand, he wanted to destroy that organization, but on the other hand, he didn’t want Jiang Xue to take on the risk. So, he was very troubled and in a bad mood.

"Qian Cheng, do you want to know my true thoughts?" Jiang Xue looked at Qian Cheng, seriously asking. Previously, she had mentioned this matter to him, but since Qian Cheng disagreed, she had no choice but to temporarily dismiss the thought.
