Chapter 57 Winning The Challenge With Brownie Points

"What happened? I have hardly left for half an hour, but it looks as if world war three is happening here in the restaurant." Mu Yuehan commented when he noticed a stiff environment in the restaurant.

"My daughter happened." And with that Marta explained to him how he was bait in their challenge.

Mu Yuehan gulped in fret. He knew he was a goner; all his progress would go negative if he accidentally selected the dish cooked by Marry.

**

"All the best." Marta served two plates with different dishes to Mu Yuehan. She looked at him with sympathy and pity. She could understand what was going on in his heart.

Mu Yuehan looked at the dishes. He had not tasted any of them in this restaurant before. He then lifted his head and looked at the window. He saw Nian Tian, daring him to make a wrong choice.

Nian Tian looked at her knife and ran her finger over it. Her eyes held killing instinct. "Careful mister, one wrong choice and you will lose all your chances to woo me."

"Taste them and tell me, which dish tastes the best."

Mu Yuehan nodded his head and again looked at the dishes. He first inhaled the aroma and then started to check the ingredients. A smile appeared on his lips.

He noticed the dish cooked by Nian Tian had an authentic aroma which he loved. Also, there were onions and garlic in it. After working for her for one day, he knew Nian Tian added these two ingredients in her dishes a lot, no matter what.

"Take this dish away." He pushed the plate with a dish cooked by Marry, making everyone shocked, especially Nian Tian. She could not believe he recognised her dish just like that.

Her heart skipped a beat after realising that he had recognised her dish, without even tasting it.

Marry was equally shocked. She could not believe, someone would push away her dish without even tasting it. Marta returned to the kitchen and sadly smiled at her daughter. "He didn't like the aroma of your dish, forget about the taste."

Marry looked at Marta with an open mouth and then at Mu Yuehan, feeling slightly impressed with his handsomeness. She then asked, "Is he, Zhan Wei?"

Marta talked to her daughter regularly. Hence, Marry knew about Zhan Wei.

"He is."

Marry smiled viciously and nodded her head. So what if she lost the cooking competition? She could easily win Zhan Wei from Nian Tian. She knew Zhan Wei would forget about Nian Tian in front of her sexiness.

Somewhere, seducing Mu Yuehan was the reason she returned to Juju island. But now when she saw Mu Yuehan, acting as Zhan Wei, Marry changed her target.

Marry adjusted her top and pushed her breasts up. She made her way toward Mu Yuehan. "Hey, handsome." She seductively took her lips in between her teeth.

Mu Yuehan glanced at her, feeling disgusted when he noticed her actions. He averted his eyes away from her.

Marry ignored his reaction and took her seat opposite him. She placed her hands over the table and pushed her upper chest in his direction, popping her cleavage and breasts out.

"Why did you reject my dish? You know, in my culinary school, I was always praised for my dishes."

"Your teachers must have some problem with their senses then." Mu Yuehan commented sarcastically. He raised his head and looked at Nian Tian.

His eyes twinkled with delight when he saw traces of anger on her face. 'Is she jealous? Is she not liking the closeness of Marry toward me?'

Nian Tian looked at Marry and her eyes widened with fear. She knew Marry was a slut, she knew how to get a man in her arms.

Unknowingly, Nian Tian tightly gripped the knife and glared in the direction of Mu Yuehan and Marry. Her heart was burning with murderous desires.

She roughly chopped the potato into many small pieces, looking at Mu Yuehan. He would be her next target if he dared to fall for the charm of Marry like every other man.

Mu Yuehan was happy, seeing the jealous her. He thought of using Marry to make Nian Tian more jealous. He hoped, that maybe Nian Tian would step out and push Marry away from his face.

He was about to execute his plan of flirting with Marry when red alarms rang in his head. He recollected how girls lacked resistance to his charm. They tend to fall for him.

He remembered how once he had confessed to a slut of their university that he liked her because of a dare, and by the next day, the slut was no longer a slut, she wanted to be a one-man woman for Mu Yuehan. She badly fell in love with him.

Once, he gave his pen to a girl and after two minutes, three girls were fighting over that pen. A pen worth sixty dollars!! because it originally belonged to him.

And these were not the only cases! It was only Nian Tian who was still unaffected by his charms.

Moreover, Marry was the daughter of Marta. He could not play with her feelings, to get his work done.

"Mom told me how you are after Nian Tian. I do not know what is so special about her. Instead, you should select me as your girl. Trust me, I...…."

Before Marry could say anything more, Mu Yuehan stood up from his seat and walked toward the kitchen, ignoring Marry as if she did not exist. He leaned against the kitchen counter and looked at Nian Tian.

"She asked me to be her man." He informed Nian Tian and looked at her expressions. He smiled in satisfaction when he caught stiffness on her face.

"Great, you should accept her offer. That way I will get free from you." Nian Tian gritted her teeth and angrily sliced the vegetable on the chopper board.

Mu Yuehan grinned and walked toward her. "Are you jealous?"

"Why should I be?" Nian Tian replied coolly.

"You are jealous." Mu Yuehan declared. "Don't worry, I will not look at any girl other than you. You are the only one for me. By the way, today's dish is delicious."

Nian Tian looked at the dish and curiously asked, "But how did you recognise that I cooked it, even without tasting it?"

"It's a secret." He teasingly winked and Nian Tian blushed. She quickly turned her face to hide it from Mu Yuehan but she was late. He saw her blush and was satisfied with it.

After finishing his meal, Mu Yuehan walked toward Nian Tian and produced yet another gift from his pocket. "Here, today's gift for you."

Nian Tian tried to ignore his gift but she felt curious to know what he was going to gift her this time.
