It's Your Call

Lilian Mo paused and looked up, meeting Mu Qianmo's eyes. "Brother Qian, it's fine to be direct. Just say that you want to eat the food I made every day."

Mu Qianmo laughed. This girl was really shameless! But he also did not dislike this. They used to joke about her cooking skills before so this was nothing new.

Smiling, he answered, "Little Sister Mo, if I did say that, are you going to cook for me every day?"

"No." Lilian Mo said flatly.

Mu Qianmo did not expect this kind of blunt reply. "Why not?"

"There is no free lunch in this world. It isn't like we'll be staying together as a group."

Mu Qianmo was startled by her words but he also did not repute. It was true. There is no free lunch in this world and within the apocalypse where food was scarce, they won't always be able to eat so extravagantly. Lilian Mo was already so generous by letting them eat a luxurious meal like this.

But.

"Little Sister Mo, what do you mean by that?"

Lilian Mo gazed at Mu Qianmo as if she did not need to explain something so simple since it was easily understood. "Brother Qian, you have your own group. That much is obvious. Besides, I'm not sure your Boss is open to the idea of accepting new members." Lilian Mo threw a look at Mizuki Rei.

"It's your call, Mr. Ling. You were originally part of them." Lilian Mo stood up once she finished speaking. "I'm going to meditate. Don't forget to wash the dishes."

Mizuki Rei was sharp. He understood the implication of her words.

'You were originally part of them' meant that in the past, he was with the Boss' group. He was also wise enough to understand that there was no Mu Qingqing or Lin Jiaojiao in that group.

Otherwise, Lilian Mo would not be so biased towards the two girls. Lilian Mo pampered the two as if they were princesses while he was often ignored.

As a guy, he was not offended and was capable on his own so he did not think much of this even though he acted irked about this biased treatment. Still, he was capable of being the bigger person.

Mizuki Rei's mind only became complicated when faced with such a difficult decision.

However, the same cannot be said for the two girls.

Mu Qingqing also stood up and stared at her fiancé with a serious look on her face. "Reirei, you have Brother Qian and your friends but Momo only has me. I can't leave Momo alone." The girl left and followed after Lilian Mo.

Lin Jiaojiao also shared the same idea. "Big Brother Rei, I'm sorry. But Big Sister Qingqing is right. Big Sister Mo, she's alone. I owe her my life and I can't leave her." Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly followed when she finished her lines.

Mizuki Rei was stunned. He felt as though he just got dumped.

These girls... He did not even say anything just yet! Why did they run off so eagerly without waiting for his answer? They should at least clarify things first before making assumptions.

Sigh.

Mu Qianmo patted his shoulder. "Little Rei, don't worry. We can ask the Boss. Little Sister Mo is obviously strong and there are benefits when strong people join together to form a team."

"I also think that it's a good idea to let them join. Look, sister-in-law is at Level three already. I mean, just look at all these dead mutants lying around. Sister-in-law is strong and she can cook well. We won't lose out on this." Fu Yangzhu said, hoping that they could rope in a powerful player but in truth, he was really just interested in being able to eat good food like this every day.

Mu Qianmo sighed and looked at Fu Yangzhu with disappointment. "Yangzhu, don't think that you're not being obvious. You just want to eat meals like this every day, don't you?"

Fu Yangzhu sipped some bone broth. "Tch. Tch. Brother Qian, I also know that you're thinking the same. But of course, we still need to ask the Boss's opinion."

The two turned to look at the Boss who was calmly eating his meal as if he was not involved with them. The scene was so serene that they felt nervous disrupting his peace.
