Xiao Qing's statement undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Qin Fang glared at her fiercely before huffing out his response.

"I can only say I'll try my best..."

Xiao Qing shrugged nonchalantly.

Since the opening of Fang Feixue, enough time had passed for her to get a clear grasp of Qin Fang's temper, which, despite his tough talk, was actually quite reasonable; he wouldn't really do anything to her.

Of course, as Qin Fang's employee, she definitely had to share his concerns, so as Xiao Qing walked along, she pondered ways to prevent the women from causing trouble.

The incidents from a while ago had gradually settled down with Qin Fang's strong comeback, and Fang Feixue's business had returned to its usual bustle, with nearly every table occupied and the private rooms almost always full.

However, since Qin Fang was the owner of Fang Feixue, it was natural that there would always be a spot available for him. Normally, the best private room would be reserved, just to avoid such predicaments.

Soon, led by Xiao Qing, Qin Fang and the seven beauties entered the private room. They all took their seats, but the atmosphere quickly became somewhat strange.

There was no need to say anything about Tang Feifei and her two companions, and since Ning Yumo knew them as well, that wasn't an issue, but the other three were relatively unfamiliar. Chu Yunxuan was smiling silently, Helen blinked as she put on an international friend's demeanor, and Cai Qing was relatively composed, simply waiting for a slip-up to enjoy the show at this gathering of Qin Fang's women.

"Hello, sisters, feel free to tell me what you'd like to eat. Our restaurant's chefs are very skilled..."

Since everyone present except for Qin Fang was a woman, and Qin Fang didn't find it appropriate to speak much, Tang Feifei immediately stood out and offered to handle the situation.

This restaurant was a joint property of her, Qin Fang, and Xiao Muxue. As a rightful owner, it was most appropriate for her to speak up.

"Feifei, there's no need to order. We sisters will chat and let Qin Fang handle it..."

"You're right, let Qin Fang take care of it!"

"We want him to cook personally so we can see if his skills have declined..."

"Qin, I love men who can cook, you got this..."

Qin Fang had intended to keep a low profile, but just as they had sat down, these women, despite not knowing each other well, rapidly formed a united front and immediately sent him away.

"OK, no problem, I'll go right now..."

The atmosphere in the private room was off, and Qin Fang had been eager to leave. He was afraid of sudden hostilities breaking out, and he knew he'd be the unluckiest caught in the middle.

These women were all shrewd. With Ning Yumo taking the lead and the agreement of others like Chu Yunxuan and Helen, Qin Fang gladly went with the flow, escaping the room as if he had received a general pardon. Xiao Qing, as a bystander, naturally snickered to herself.

"Laugh! Keep laughing, and I'll dock your pay..."

Qin Fang huffed out another line before heading toward the kitchen, where he was obliged to strictly follow the ladies' commands.

"Chef..."

Qin Fang had barely escaped from there and just stepped into the kitchen, not yet catching his breath, when suddenly an exciting voice reached his ears. A slim shadow threw open her arms and rushed towards him rapidly.

Facing such an "enemy," Qin Fang almost instinctively went for a side kick to send this person flying, but then he abruptly recognized the voice and forcibly stopped his motion.

Who else could it be?

It was none other than Little Girl Ding Chuchu, who had clamored to become his apprentice!

This young girl was now learning cooking at Fang Feixue, shadowing Wen Yi in the kitchen, and actually behaving quite obediently. It seemed she had taken Qin Fang's request seriously.

Qin Fang typically avoided venturing into the kitchen when he visited Fang Feixue, for fear of being caught by this little girl. But this time, driven to the kitchen by the commotion outside, he had unwittingly delivered himself right to her.

Qin Fang didn't make a move, Little Girl Ding Chuchu immediately gave him a bear hug, clinging onto Qin Fang completely, especially his arm, which she held tightly.

This was also due to the height difference between Qin Fang and the little girl, Qin Fang now being over one eighty, while Little Girl was barely one sixty, too high for her to reach anything but Qin Fang's arm.

"I say, Little Girl, don't be so jumpy, alright, you almost got kicked flying like a sandbag..."

Looking at Ding Chuchu, who was hanging onto him, Qin Fang had a face full of helplessness. This little girl always left him with no choice.

"Hey hey, Master, if you want to kick, just kick... If you break Chu Chu, Chu Chu will just wait for Master to support me for a lifetime..."

Ding Chuchu was not shy at all, boldly making such a statement.

If a beauty around Qin Fang's age had said this, naturally, Qin Fang would have been secretly delighted, but with Ding Chuchu... Qin Fang pretended not to hear, this little girl could say anything, very few of her words were reliable.

"Stop messing around. Wait until I'm done with my work..."

Qin Fang held Ding Chuchu's arm and plucked her off him, then went over to Wen Yi to begin preparing food.

Wen Yi was Qin Fang's founding disciple, and she had already completed her apprenticeship. Her proficiency growth had slowed down, but there was a quantity benchmark to strive for, and she was indeed advancing towards Advanced Cooking.

But if you were to ask who among Fang Feixue had the best cooking skills, naturally it was Qin Fang, who had rarely entered the kitchen anymore.

"Master, are you going to cook yourself? That's great, I'll be your assistant..."

As soon as Qin Fang started to cook, his three disciples immediately ran over, excited to assist him.

Qin Fang's three disciples were quite diligent. Apart from Zhou Rui, who joined last, the other two were close to topping Beginner Level and were not far from reaching Intermediate Cooking.

"Go mind your own business; don't mess with mine..."

Qin Fang gave the three lads a look, of course not wishing for their help with such a small matter. With the business doing so well, everyone had their own share of tasks in the store.

"Hehe, Master, let me assist you..."

After shooing away the three disciples, Little Girl Ding Chuchu popped up again, immediately hopping over to Qin Fang and said.

"Just stand on the side, don't make trouble..."

Qin Fang would rather have those three disciples assist him than have the little nuisance Ding Chuchu; her 'help' was truly just adding to the chaos...

In fact, on his way to the kitchen, Qin Fang had already thought of what dish to make.

What Tang Feifei, Xiao Muxue, and Wen Yan liked to eat, Qin Fang was very clear about, and those were definitely a must.

Ning Yumo was the same. Qin Fang had dined with her several times and noticed what dishes she preferred and what flavors she liked, and so on.

As for Chu Yunxuan, that went without saying; Qin Fang even knew what kind of underwear she liked to wear, what brand of sanitary napkins she used, so her dining preferences were even more obvious.

Cai Qing and Helen Dayangma... Sorry, it's best to just ignore these two directly.

Since Qin Fang knew everyone's preferred flavors very clearly, it was very convenient to cook those dishes. So, under Ding Chuchu's astonished gaze, Qin Fang swiftly transformed into superman, moving rapidly, and in no time, he had prepared over a dozen dishes.

Worried about the situation in the private room, after getting the dishes done, Qin Fang immediately headed over there; heaven knew what could happen in his absence.

"Boss, your harem is really... harmonious!"

When Qin Fang returned, Xiao Qing had just come out of the private room and seeing Qin Fang's return, her expression suddenly turned quite strange, hesitated for a moment, and then dropped such a comment.
