Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 693 - 686: No Fish

Due to the mountain road being truly difficult and foggy, coupled with Xiao Qiao almost falling off the mountain to her death, Leng Yichen had to give up continuing uphill, and the three of them could only return.

Back at the Qiao family’s house, Leng Yichen’s mood plummeted to the extreme, sitting sternly by the window, his eyes always looking at the mountain.

Xiao Qiao poured a cup of water and placed it in front of Leng Yichen, a faint blush appearing on her face, "Drink some hot water, or you’ll easily catch a cold."

Leng Yichen didn’t look at her, merely uttering a light thank you.

Having stayed at the Qiao family’s house for several nights, Wang Hai felt uneasy about it and gave her an additional thousand yuan.

Previously, when Xiao Qiao accepted the thousand yuan from Leng Yichen, she felt quite at ease. She was taking money to provide accommodation and guidance for them.

However, now for some unknown reason, Xiao Qiao began to feel uncomfortable, especially when seeing Wang Hai giving her the money, "No need, you’ve already paid me."

Xiao Qiao said this while looking at Leng Yichen, noticing that he never looked at her, making her feel slightly downhearted.

"Just take it!" Wang Hai forcibly shoved the money into Xiao Qiao’s hand, "It’s troublesome to have two grown men staying at your place, this money is deserved."

Moreover, Wang Hai always felt that in a place like this, with families like these, it’s better to be upfront with both words and money.

In this situation, if Xiao Qiao kept refusing, she’d be acting pretentious, possibly causing Leng Yichen and Wang Hai not to want to stay at her house.

Xiao Qiao awkwardly accepted the money, "Alright, I’ll take it. What do you want to eat tonight? It’s raining now, and there aren’t many good dishes available, do you think fish would be okay?"

Xiao Qiao wanted to cook something good for them, firstly because she received money and shouldn’t shortchange them, and secondly, she wanted to showcase her culinary skills, especially hoping to let Leng Yichen taste her specialty.

"Fish?" Wang Hai smiled, "Then cook fish, my boss likes to eat fish."

Leng Yichen liked fish, anyone who knew him was aware of that. Of course, Bai Yiran also knew, so she often prepared fish in various ways for Leng Yichen.

"No fish." Just as Xiao Qiao was eagerly preparing to take out the frozen fish at home to thaw, she heard Leng Yichen’s chilly voice.

"What? No fish?" Xiao Qiao felt puzzled.

Leng Yichen said nothing more and directly returned to his room.

Wang Hai, realizing the situation later, apologized to Xiao Qiao, saying, "Sorry, better not make fish."

"What’s going on?" Xiao Qiao really couldn’t understand, didn’t Leng Yichen like fish?

Wang Hai scratched his head, "The boss’s wife often made fish for him, now the boss probably doesn’t want to see fish."

Xiao Qiao suddenly understood, but felt quite lost inside, Leng Yichen really loved his wife...

"Brother Hai, what exactly happened with your boss’s wife? Why are you going up the mountain to look for her? And who are those two strange people you talk about?"

Xiao Qiao had always been unclear about what happened, only knowing that Leng Yichen went up the mountain to find his wife, but why would his wife be on such a remote mountain?

Wang Hai grinned, "Some things are better not known too clearly, hurry up and cook, anything but fish will do!"

Not getting an answer only made Xiao Qiao even more curious. But hearing Wang Hai’s tone seemed as though he didn’t want to tell her, she decided to let it go.

Now the biggest worry for Xiao Qiao was what to cook for Leng Yichen tonight.
