Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love

Chapter 116 Add as Much Spice as Possible!

Shen Muyan received two notifications of transfers, each for 100,000 yuan. Her mood instantly improved.

She ate a wonton, then pulled out her phone to send a WeChat message to Lu Qin.

[I just played second-hand ice crystal cake dealer. I sold one for 200,000. What do you think about that, Boss Lu?].

After a few seconds, Lu Qin replied.

[???].[Unbelievable. How could you do this? Next time you find such big spenders, please inform me first.].

Shen Muyan smiled faintly, her expression dazzling.

Sun Zhi and Fan Qingfang, seeing Shen Muyan smile so happily, felt even more uncomfortable. They had been impulsive earlier. Although they were wealthy, they weren’t used to spending money like that.

Spending 100,000 yuan on half a piece of ice crystal cake, along with earning the title of ‘big spender’, felt like a complete loss.

Still unsatisfied, they asked Shen Muyan about the origin of the ice crystal cake.

Who made it?

With such craftsmanship, was it a renowned pastry master?

But would a master chef be running a stall?

Was it a traditional craft passed down by an old artisan?

And where did this person sell their goods?

Sun Zhi and Fan Qingfang couldn’t help but get excited. Both of them were in the hotel and catering business. If they could hire the person who made these ice crystal cakes, wouldn’t they strike gold?

They could promote the ice crystal cake as their signature dish, selling it for 588 or even 888 yuan per portion. A money-making machine!

Shen Muyan gave them a group chat ID and told them to apply themselves.

“Don’t you have a phone number?” Sun Zhi asked.

As a prominent CEO, he had no patience for waiting to join a group chat.

“No,” Shen Muyan replied coolly. The meeting was about to resume, so the three of them headed to the conference hall.

During the meeting, Sun Zhi and Fan Qingfang repeatedly inquired about Lu Qin.

At the same time, they had their doubts. Shen Muyan was in the same industry as them, so why didn’t she bring the ice crystal cake maker into her Ourei Hotel? Was she giving up a fortune?

Elsewhere.

After lunch, Lu Xiyao took a nap in her room. Acting as a little boss all morning had been tiring yet thrilling. At just six years old, she was already handling business involving hundreds of boxes.

This little boss was the cutest in the business world and the most business-savvy in the world of cuteness—a true powerhouse. Since it was the weekend, Lu Qin had prepared more ingredients, selling over 500 portions of fried noodles alone.

Breakfast service lasted until just past 10:20, earning him 18,000 yuan. Sitting in the dining area, Lu Qin drank a glass of water and replied to Shen Muyan’s earlier message.

[One ice crystal cake sold for 200,000?].

Though he didn’t know the details, he figured it must have involved a lot of wealthy people at that meeting—likely just them showing off.

At noon, Zhao, the disposable tableware store owner, stopped by to make a delivery and brought along a large batch of pre-ordered ingredients for Lu Qin.

The two of them moved the items to the yard together. Zhao was in a rush to his next stop and didn’t stay long. Before leaving, Zhao gave Lu Qin five kilos of boneless plums, saying they had just come into the market and were incredibly crisp and sweet. They were so popular the market was packed with people buying them.

Lu Qin tried to decline, but Zhao insisted, saying it was for the kid and didn’t cost much. Lu Qin had no choice but to accept. Next time he visited Zhao’s shop, he planned to bring some food in return.

After washing a few plums and trying one, Lu Qin found them refreshingly sweet with a hint of tartness. He finished his water and started prepping ingredients for the afternoon, which included three new dishes—twice-cooked pork, chicken tofu, and imperial chicken wings. These required extra time to prepare.

At 3:00 PM, the weather turned pleasant. The sun hid behind the clouds, and a gentle breeze provided cool comfort to those outside.

“Reporting for duty, Daddy! Little boss is ready to head out and start earning money anytime!”

The little one, refreshed from her nap, was full of energy. She stood obediently in the yard with her cartoon water bottle slung over her shoulder. Five plums were in her left pocket, three White Rabbit candies and a chocolate bar in her right—fully stocked and ready for action.

Lu Qin opened a street vending map app and

“Make it as spicy as possible!” The heir boasted.

“I’m a spice champion in Korea. Chinese spice is no match for me!”

The stall owner silently grabbed two large handfuls of chili powder, coating the pig trotter inside and out. The heir’s eyelid twitched visibly.
