Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 226

Chapter 226

A snack stand arrived at the film set. He Zhuo looked up and saw the Lu Ji Snack Food Truck not far away.

He frowned, “You really can’t focus. Stop finding excuses. When filming, you must be single-minded. Do you understand?”

Such street snacks are everywhere. He Zhuo had eaten them before, back when he hadn’t debuted, but he hasn’t had them since. One reason is that they are unhealthy, and the second is that fried food is a nightmare for maintaining a good figure. He has always been very disciplined.

“I understand, Senior Brother.” Wu Chen always trusted He Zhuo’s words without doubt.

“Senior Brother, I’m really happy that you came to visit my set!”

Wu Chen was very excited.

“I didn’t have lunch and came here directly. You figure it out,” He Zhuo said with a smile.

“Senior Brother, let me take you to a great place!”

Wu Chen was about to grab He Zhuo’s arm.

“Hey, you little brat, go shoot the scene first. Afterward, we can go. Work always comes first.”

“Senior Brother, we’re not going anywhere else. The good food is right here on the set!”

He Zhuo was stunned.

“There’s good food on set? You’re not planning to treat me to a boxed meal, are you?”

Wu Chen gave a mysterious smile.

“Of course not, here, it’s that snack stand!”

“Street food? I don’t eat that,” He Zhuo frowned, instinctively resisting.

He was now very disciplined and health-conscious, and he would never touch unhealthy food. Wu Chen, knowing He Zhuo’s habits, immediately explained when he saw him frown.

“Senior Brother, don’t worry. It’s absolutely delicious and healthy, and it’s clean and hygienic. Trust me!”

Wu Chen pulled He Zhuo and walked toward Lu Qin’s food truck. He Zhuo reluctantly followed, but he had already decided in his heart that he would never touch such junk food.

Moreover, He Zhuo remembered that Wu Chen didn’t like that kind of street food either. Why had he suddenly developed a liking for it?

For an actor, dietary discipline is very important. He still needed to remind Wu Chen later about the importance of managing one’s diet. If he wanted to go far in this profession, he must control his eating habits and be as self-disciplined as He Zhuo.

Earlier, the film crew had been busy shooting the scene. At this point, Lu Qin’s stand was temporarily taking a break and had no business. Now, Wu Chen dragged He Zhuo over.

“Boss Lu, two portions of fried noodles, add all the toppings!”

“One portion of mapo tofu, spicy fish fillets, an ice crystal cake, one portion of layered oil cake, and two cups of green bean soup.”

“Wu Chen, that’s enough!”

He Zhuo immediately stopped him. He wasn’t even sure if he would eat street food, and Wu Chen ordered so much at once. How could they possibly finish it?

“Senior Brother, this might not be enough. Buy a little more. Once other people come over, it’ll be hard to get anything!”

While He Zhuo was distracted, Wu Chen ordered three or four more dishes. In short, he ordered nearly everything available. Lu Qinn, while waiting for the frying pan to heat up, took out other food from the preservation box.

“Boss Lu, I’ll pack it myself. You fry the noodles and mapo tofu.”

Wu Chen expertly packed the food and then paid by scanning the code.

“Senior Brother, try this ice crystal cake, it’s amazing!”

“I don’t eat sweets.”

He Zhuo waved his hand.

He Zhuo had always controlled his sugar and oil intake to maintain his figure. Unless it was exceptionally delicious, he would taste it, but otherwise, he would never break his discipline.

“Wu Chen, you ordered too much. I really don’t like eating this stuff.”

He Zhuo looked at Lu Qin’s food truck and noticed that the hygiene was acceptable. The stall owner was a young, handsome guy, not a greasy, middle-aged man, so it wasn’t unpleasant to look at.

He Zhuo glanced at Lu Qin a few more times and noticed that the owner’s looks were almost on par with his own, which was rare.

He Zhuo thought to himself, in terms of temperament, he was still slightly superior.

But when he saw Lu Qin concentrating on frying the noodles, He Zhuo momentarily lost his thoughts. Alright, this stall owner’s charm when focusing on work was no less than his own when seriously filming.

“Senior Brother, the cake made by Boss Lu uses natural cane sugar. It’s very healthy. You can trust it.”

Wu Chen had chatted with Lu Qinn yesterday and learned that the food Lu Qinn made was much healthier than what they would find in a star-rated restaurant.

In those fancy restaurants, in order to enhance the flavor of the food, they use seasonings to enhance the freshness and aroma. So, the seasonings likely contain various additives.

Additives won’t kill you, but if consumed over the long term, it can cause many sub-health issues, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and gout. You can’t see the seasonings in the restaurant kitchen, so you only know it tastes good but don’t know if it’s healthy.

Wu Chen explained all this to He Zhuo to ease his concerns. He Zhuo was slightly surprised after hearing this. It was the first time he heard that sugar could be good.

“Of course, sugar is a necessary nutrient for our bodies. How could it be bad?”

“It’s just that industrial sugar produced by unscrupulous businesses using machines is unhealthy. If you eat too much, it will harm your body!”

Wu Chen spoke with confidence.

“Heh, didn’t know you were a nutrition expert,” He Zhuo raised an eyebrow.

“Hehe! It’s all thanks to Boss Lu.”

Wu Chen and He Zhuo simultaneously looked at Lu Qin. Lu Qin smiled lightly and nodded, continuing to fry the noodles.

“Boss Lu, do you know my Senior Brother?”

“It should look familiar.”

Lu Qin glanced at He Zhuo, probably not recognizing him since he didn’t watch dramas. But out of politeness, he pretended to recognize him, not wanting to make the big star feel embarrassed.

He Zhuo could tell from Lu Qin’s tone that the man didn’t recognize him. He silently smiled wryly. It seemed his popularity wasn’t as high as he had imagined.

“Senior Brother, are you really not going to try it?”

Wu Chen couldn’t help it and popped a piece of ice crystal cake into his mouth. The soft, glutinous, sweet, and wonderful taste spread across his tongue. This ice crystal cake was unbelievably delicious. It was far tastier than those Western desserts, a hundred times better.

He Zhuo looked at the plastic box in Wu Chen’s hand. Inside, the ice crystal cake was delicate and transparent, looking like a work of art. He hadn’t had lunch and was starving.

Coupled with Wu Chen’s earlier explanation that the dessert made by Boss Lu was very healthy, he decided it was probably safe to try.

“I’ll give it a try.”

He Zhuo swallowed and picked up a piece of the ice crystal cake.

“Senior Brother, the outer layer of this ice crystal cake is made from an ice skin, and inside is a sweet sticky rice dessert. It’s aromatic and pure. I promise you’ll want more once you start eating!”

He Zhuo was tempted, and immediately took a bite. After chewing, his taste buds exploded with delight. This ice crystal cake was not only sweet and soft but also had a cool taste. When eaten, it was refreshing and smooth. This feeling was incredible!
