Ye Jiayao had thought that it was Zhao Qixuan that was treating for dinner today so she wasn’t expecting to see Mu Qinchu and Wei Liujiang.

“Li Yao, I was just about to look for you. I have the ice tickets you mentioned yesterday,” Mu Qinchu said eagerly as if he was really familiar with the chef.

Ye Jiayao’s lips twitched. “So fast?”

Mu Qinchu nudged Wei Liujiang who immediately took out a set of ice ticket and handed it to Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao looked over the ice tickets calmly as she counted them. “Why are there only 500g?”

Mu Qinchu explained, “It wasn’t easy to get 1kg at once. I’ll bring you another 500g in a couple of days.”

“No need!” Helian Jing and Xia Chunfeng said simultaneously.

Xia Chunfeng, finding himself in an awkward position, signaled for Helian Jing to speak first.

Helian Jing immediately said, “Li Yao, tell me how much you need and I’ll get it for you no matter the amount.”

Was Mu Qinchu’s help really needed for this?  Helian Jing wanted to be the one to help Big Yaoyao.

Xia Chunfeng couldn’t help but wheedle, “It’s just 1kg of ice, how hard can it be to get it done?”

Mu Qinchu held in his words of resentment.  That’s easy for you to say because you all are careless. I had to suffer a scolding just to get this 500g of ice!

Ye Jiayao smiled. She had no doubt that Little Jing can get the ice easily, but this was blackmailed from Mu Qinchu. She was not going to let this arrogant guy off the hook so easily. She said to Mu Qinchu, “In the next days then. I know that you wouldn’t want to delay because this ice is to be used for Helian Mansion Old Princess’ birthday celebration.”

Mu Qinchu’s eyes widened. If that was really the purpose of the ice, then he must obtain the remaining 500g as soon as possible.

“The weather has been hot lately so the ice supply had been short. Don’t worry, though, I’ll do my best and I won’t cause a delay to the Old Princess’ birthday celebration,” Mu Qinchu promptly promised.

Zhao Qixuan shooed the child on the seat next to him and subsequently offered it to Ye Jiayao. “Li Yao, sit and drink with us.”

Those who didn’t really know Li Yao were stunned. The seating arrangements had always been exquisite, very distinct. The Young Royal Highness Jing was seated in the main seat, while Xia Chunfeng and Zhao Qixuan sat on the seats on either side of him. No one had any objections to this seating arrangement because their statuses were distinguished. Why on earth would Zhao Qixuan allow this chef to sit by his side? Wasn’t that a bit weird?

Out of all of them, it was Wei Liujiang who was the most shocked. This Li Yao must be the best chef ever! He had such good relationships with a group of Royal Highness and Heir-Son Lords. If Liujiang hadn’t seen this with his own eyes, he would have thought that it was impossible.

“Move away.” Helian Jing pushed Zhao Qixuan. “Li Yao, come sit here.”

Zhao Qixuan happily gave up his seat. “Yes, yes! Li Yao, come and sit.”

What was happening? Everyone was confused.

Mindful of the flabbergasted expression on the people’s faces, Ye Jiayao walked over to Helian Jing, yet she didn’t sit. Instead, she picked up a flagon and poured herself and everyone else a glass of wine. She picked up the glass and said, “Everyone, thank you for coming! I hope you all drink and eat happily. Cheers!”
