Chapter 39 Tasting The Most Delicious Food.

"Here you go." Smiling brightly, Marta served a huge platter to Mu Yuehan.

Mu Yuehan gulped when he inhaled the delicious aroma. His stomach grumbled loudly and without wasting any second, he served himself a big scoop of food.

He started to enjoy his food, enjoy the authentic taste of different flavours.

As a teen, Mu Yuehan had travelled to many countries and had tried many different dishes. He must say, the dishes at this particular restaurant were the best. He knew he would be visiting this restaurant from time to time, to have his meal.

"Is this restaurant always so empty and quiet?" Mu Yuehan asked Marta. Curiosity was written all over his face.

From the time he entered this restaurant, he noticed, that the number of people having their meal here was not very large.

"There was a time when this restaurant was always full, with a long queue of customers waiting for their turn to have a seat." Marta sighed and took her seat opposite Mu Yuehan. There were long lines on her forehead and sadness in her eyes.

"Before the typhoon, this restaurant was quite famous among the tourists and the locals. But after the typhoon, tourists stopped visiting Juju island and locals do not have enough money to enjoy an outside meal." Lips of Marta twitched in a mocking smile.

"It was a time when we had a staff of ten and today, it's only me and my owner, both trying to save this sinking ship." Marta then looked at Mu Yuehan. He was silently having his food.

"What are you doing here? You seem rich. As far as I know, rich people like you don't visit this destructed island, not anymore."

"I am here with my boss, Mu Yuehan. He had purchased this island, and now, he is working on...." Before Mu Yuehan could complete, Marta squealed loudly, "Oh my God, Mu Yuehan is here?"

Mu Yuehan froze when he heard her. He looked at her with wide eyes. "You know him?"

"Yes, I do." Marta grinned. "My daughter is crazy about rich bachelors. Especially about this Chinese guy, Mu Yuehan. She is impressed with his achievements at the mere age of twenty-two. Oh My God,

Marry will be so happy to know that Mu Yuehan is here on this island."

Mu Yuehan gulped his food and looked at Marta, excitedly telling him about his daughter.

"She is a big fan of Mu Yuehan. I have heard he is a bachelor. Can you act as a cupid in between my daughter and your boss?" Marta quipped with a lot of expectations in her eyes.

And that was the reason Mu Yuehan had decided to switch his identity with Zhan Wei. He was fed up with people following him because of his name, Mu Yuehan.

p Luckily, his cyber team always insured to remove his photos from the internet. No one knew how the real Mu Yuehan looked like. They knew about his achievements but not his face.

"Mister, where are you lost?" Marta waved her hand in front of Mu Yuehan. He was lost in his thoughts. "Can you act as a cupid?"

"Ah, no…. No, I cannot. Mu Yuehan is already taken. He has a girlfriend." Mu Yuehan replied and took a sip from his glass of water.

"Too bad." Marta pouted and shook her head. "By the way, for how long is your boss planning to stay here?"

"For a long time, I guess." Mu Yuehan took another sip from his glass of water.

"So, does that mean I can see you as my guest in this restaurant from time to time?" Marta asked hopefully.

Mu Yuehan wanted to reject. He did not want to encounter such a noisy server again. Marta knew about Mu Yuehan. But then he looked at the empty plate of food, the mouth-watering food.

"I will visit again, to taste this treat."

"Great." Marta clapped and joined her hands in front of her chest. She looked at Mu Yuehan with star-stuck eyes, feeling very excited and happy. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

Mu Yuehan paid for his food and left a huge tip for Marta, knowing well that she would appreciate it.

He then made his way to the local market. He was making a mental plan on how he was going to develop all these shops once his hotel was renovated.

"Would you like to have anything?" Many shopkeepers looked at him with expectation, trying to sell him their products, in the hope to have some earnings for the day.

"Would you like to smell my perfume?" a perfume seller asked Mu Yuehan. Mu Yuehan ignored him and was about to walk further when the perfume seller spoke again, "Don't buy them, but smell them at least. They are the best perfumes on this island, probably all around the world. I have personally extracted them. The fragrances are all-natural."

Mu Yuehan walked back toward the shop and looked at small bottles placed on a small counter.

"I have a garden with flowers. I and my daughter personally extract these perfumes. I am sure, you will like them." The perfume seller enthusiastically picked a bottle and passed it to Mu Yuehan. "Here, take a whiff of rose perfume."

Mu Yuehan took the bottle and took a small whiff. He must say, the fragrance was quite natural and fresh. He then tried many other perfumes with different fragrances. He felt very impressed.

"Try this," seller passed him another bottle. "This is my best creation so far. Rain. This perfume smells like 'after rain smell."'

Mu Yuehan took the bottle and took a whiff. He closed his eyes, enjoying the feel of wet soil, wet leaves and after-rain fragrance.

Immediately, an image of his sister came into his mind. 'Yifei will love it."

"I am buying this one."

"Do you want to buy other perfumes? They all are good." The seller asked hopefully.

"No, only this one is fine."

The shopkeeper nodded his head and walked back into his shop. He returned with a fresh bottle of the said perfume and passed it to Mu Yuehan.
