Chapter 109.3 - The Violent Banquet Team (3)
“Welcome, Sister Yanyi. Oh, and there’s Brother-in law as well.” Corey went to give Su Yanyi a big hug the moment he stepped up. Of course, Su Yanyi turned her body away before he managed to hug her.
At the same moment, Qin Jiran used the opportunity to move forward and shake Corey’s hand such that Corey was embarrassed to continue trying to hug Su Yanyi.

Corey was very helpless towards this couple. He smiled as he teasingly said: “This is a problem of manners. You guys are really too rude.”
“Sorry, my manners and your manners aren’t on the same level.” Su Yanyi didn’t buy Corey’s words. Since young, she had met Corey many times and the two of them could be counted as being familiar. If not, with Corey always calling her Sister Yanyi, Sister Yanyi, she would have hit him long ago.
“How can that be, we’re both from Earth, where would all the levels come from, don’t you think, Brother-in-law?” Corey tossed the question over to Qin Jiran.
The first time Qin Jiran and Corey met was at Old Man Su’s birthday. At that time, Corey had looked at Qin Jiran with eyes full of examination and investigation while now, although it was slightly hidden, they still had some questioning and unsurety.
“Earth folks have various (social) cultures. With different cultures, the degree of civilisation is also different.” Qin Jiran said this coldly. He used an expression as if he was looking at an idiot to look at Corey. His wife was there, how could he stand on Corey’s side. That was definitely not okay.
Corey squinted his eyes. He felt this couple really matched well, both of them were people who didn’t know how to speak artistically!
“You guys have a saying that goes ‘only a family enters a family door’ (people who don’t belong together don’t get to live together). As expected, this is very reasonable.” Although Corey had mixed blood, he grew up overseas. Naturally, he thought of himself as a foreigner.
“Thanks.” Su Yanyi said this without any courtesy. Naturally she and Qin Jiran were very compatible.
“Sigh, Yanyi is still Yanyi. There isn’t much of a change even after getting married. Alright, let’s stop being a downer here. Welcome to the Banquet. Please follow me for a tour. I’ve already prepared everything for you guys. I wish you a happy journey, hehe, you must have a great harvest!” Corey said this with a lot more presence after he adjusted his expression.
Su Yanyi’s eyes brightened as they took in the liner’s surroundings. They flashed with a very interested light.
Qin Jiran’s expression became more serious. He pushed Su Yanyi tightly behind him in protection. This was a very mysterious and exciting trip, but it was also one that held a degree of danger. This was something he kept in mind. His top priority in coming here was the same as secret team A’s which was that no matter what, he had to protect Yanyi!
While entering the liner, whether it was Qin Jiran or secret team A, they all entered with their guards up.
Corey took in everyone’s reaction and his expression held some admiration but he still consoled them. “Although there are all sorts of shady people inside, please rest assured. Your safety is also my top priority.”
The Wallens family and the Su family were old friends and also business partners. With Su Yanyi’s and Qin Jiran’s arrival, his father had issued a death order: you must definitely protect them. Of course in his eyes, even if they didn’t have his protection, the Su family members wouldn’t be in any danger. Instead, the danger lay in whomever ran into the Su family.
With regards to Corey’s statement, Su Yanyi declined to comment. As a member of the Su family, or maybe it could be said that being herself, she would not leave her safety up to an outsider.
Corey brought them into the liner. As he led the way, he also explained the interior of the liner to them. Ship liners nowadays were more and more luxurious, especially at this banquet. It was just like a mini city, residential area, shopping district, entertainment district, etc. It could be said to be bustling, luxurious, dazzling, and very colourful.
“Everyone, I’ll bring you guys to the rest area first. I specially arranged the room for you. Hehe, hope you guys will like it.” Corey really had put a lot of thought into arranging the room.
Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran walked side by side. Neither of them bothered replying Corey even though they heard him.
Qin Jiran was indifferent. He wasn’t called Ice Mountain Film Emperor for nothing. If it wasn’t for Yanyi’s existence, he would not have so many emotions. Su Yanyi’s arrogance complemented Qin Jiran’s indifference. The number of people she gave face* to could be counted on one hand and this Corey had obviously been ignored by the both of them.
However, Corey didn’t mind and had instead become interested in Qin Jiran. He really wanted to find topics to converse with Qin Jiran.
When Su Yanyi saw such a scene, her mind wandered to when she met Corey when they were young. At that time, Corey also huddled around her like that while her reaction was similar to Qin Jiran’s indifference.
As seen from this, her and Qin Jiran’s personalities were apparently very compatible.
“The Presidential Honeymoon Suite. Please enter.”
“We won’t see you out.” After Su Yanyi entered, she directly chased him out.
“The golden card is evidence of your identity. You must remember to bring it wherever you go. I won’t disturb your couple time anymore.” Corey shook hands then left unaffectedly.
The suite was very big. It had more than ten rooms, enough for all of them to stay together. Naturally, the master bedroom was for Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi. After passing through the giant living room and pushing open the door, the heart-shaped room appeared before everyone. The huge heart-shaped bed filled with rose petals made them especially speechless.
“So vulgar.” Upon looking around the room, Su Yanyi made a very relevant evaluation.
All of a sudden, Qin Jiran laughed. He carried Yanyi and directly threw her onto the big bed. He laughingly said: “In the past, I also thought of throwing a surprise for you but I felt that you would definitely think it is vulgar. I didn’t think it really was so.”
“It is tacky.” Su Yanyi felt that being romantic should be a type of spontaneity. For example, two people holding hands while walking on a quiet street, and not specially crushing fresh flowers and throwing them on the bed. In the end, the maids would have to clean up. It had to be said that Yanyi’s way of thinking was a bit different from everyone’s.
“Are you tired, do you want to rest for a bit first? Or do you want to eat something first? There’s a kitchen here, do you want me to make something for you to eat?” Qin Jiran asked gently and considerately.
“Hungry.” Su Yanyi didn’t stand on ceremony and answered frankly.
Qin Jiran kissed the corner of Su Yanyi’s lips and immediately stood and went to the kitchen and got busy. Filling up his esteemed wife’s stomach was definitely the most important!
There was also a good cook in secret team A, codename Kangaroo. He was in charge of logistics and was at that moment considering whether to cook or to order food when Qin Jiran came out.
“Master Son-in-Law, do you want to order food?” Kangaroo asked very respectfully.
“I’m going to cook myself. As for you guys, if you guys don’t mind let’s eat together. But you guys need to find me an assistant.” Since he had already decided to cook, Qin Jiran did not mind making a bit more.
Kangaroo was so shocked that his eyes fell conspicuously on Qin Jiran’s face! Although he knew that the Son-in-law knew how to cook and often did so for the Elder Mistress, but did he mean to cook for them too? Ah, oh my God, he definitely had to spread the good news to all his companions!
“Calling Boss Dragon, calling all the members of secret team A, this is Kangaroo, this is Kangaroo. This is the kitchen, this is the kitchen. Master Son-in-law is personally cooking dinner for us. Requesting assistance, requesting assistance!” Kangaroo didn’t hide from Qin Jiran and spoke into his communication device there.
“I’m Explosive Dragon, what kind of assistance?” Explosive Dragon was the leader of secret team A. He believed that violence could solve all problems arising from dangerous elements.
“Get Mantis over, we’re missing someone to cut vegetables!” Kangaroo said this very seriously.
Mantis was the group’s doctor and an expert with a knife. She was also someone whom Kangaroo thought to be the most suitable to cut vegetables. At the same time, Mantis was also one of two of the group’s females.
“My knife only knows how to kill people and save people!” Mantis’ cold voice came from the headset. She was a doctor and an assassin but as for cutting vegetables and that sort of thing, she didn’t know how to do it!
“Haha, I’ll go, let me go. I’m going now.” Another very bouncy voice came through the headset. It came from a female that seemed to be moving. After a short while, the other female member of secret team A came to the kitchen to report.
“Rabbi, here to report, awaiting your instructions!” Rabbit, also known as Violent Rabbit, was the team’s grappling expert. Her fighting abilities was definitely top three in the team. Her personality was bouncy and she liked two activities the most; the first was hitting people, and the second was eating.
“Hey, who let you come here. What can you do even if you’re here? I wanted someone to help cook not someone to cause trouble. Go out quickly, if not don’t think of having dinner!” Kangaroo glared at Rabbit and stood in front of her to stop her with no intention of giving way. He just understood this violent Rabbit too well. In a place such as the kitchen, this Rabbit only broke things. She definitely would not be of any help.
Qin Jiran had watched on with amusement but he didn’t forget that Yanyi had said she was hungry so he had already began choosing ingredients to cook with. Luckily the ingredients here had mostly been prepped already so he didn’t have to waste too much time. A few cuts and they’d be ready to go into the pot.
“Move out of the way.” A cold voice appeared, bringing along a very disdainful air, rudely shoving Rabbit aside and directly walking past Kangaroo into the kitchen. Mantis had arrived.
It had to be said that secret team A was full of personalities. In private, secret team A had another name. This group had been named Wild Beast Group by everyone. All the members of the group had an animal as a codename and each person had a weirder personality than the last. Each member also had skills more fierce than the last. When they were training together, no one dared to provoke them.
“Mantis, I thought you weren’t coming. Ah, I’m warning you, you can’t use your surgery knife to cut the vegetables. You can’t use a knife that’s been stained by blood either. If not, I’ll definitely use my fist to question you!” Rabbit was very much on her guard as she looked at Mantis and said this. As she said this, she was also waving her fist around.
However, Mantis did not even bother looking at her, found a vegetable knife and found some broccoli. Bang bang, the cutting began.
Qin Jiran’s eyebrows rose. All of a sudden he had some kind of premonition; as expected, this honeymoon trip would not be so peaceful!
With regards to these people’s knives being stained with blood and all that, Qin Jiran had expressed that he would pretend to not have understood. As for the dinner, he had initially planned to make more meat dishes but now he felt that he should cook a few more dishes to fight evil.
“Rabbit, stop creating trouble here. We need to start cooking.” Kangaroo finally chased Rabbit out, then he started helping Qin Jiran get busy. Even though Mantis had spoken indifferently, she still cut the vegetables very seriously. It was just that the way she cut vegetables left one feeling a bit frightened. Spot by spot, piece by piece, strip by strip, everything was cut to the exact same size. Was this really necessary?
Ah, and Miss Mantis, your codename Mantis is very appropriate. The way you hold two knives to cut vegetables is really just like a Mantis!
*Give face (给面子): the concept of ‘face’ is kind of equivalent to ‘respect, honour, and dignity’. So to give face to someone means to show respect in a sense.
