(Doubleĉ´/First Love Purity, Marriage of Convenience, Chaebol Power Fantasy, Sweet Pampering, Team Pet/Crowd Favorite, Male Lead's Long-term Scheme)
At twenty-one years old, Jiang Wanning ...
The guests enjoyed themselves at the wedding.
Although the two most important main characters were absent, it didn't affect the revelry of the others.
Su Zhihan drank a bit too much today.
She has a high alcohol tolerance, but today she mixed white and red wine, which made her more likely to get tipsy.
Su Zhihan is beautiful, and as a bridesmaid today, many outstanding young men have come up to her asking for her contact information.
Su Zhihan has very high standards. She doesn't value material things much, but she is a sucker for good looks. The most important thing is that the person has to be pleasing to the eye.
This person's eyes are not good-looking, pass.
This person's lips are too thin, like paper. Kissing them would definitely be uncomfortable. Pass.
This person's nose isn't prominent enough, pass.
Having finally gotten rid of a troublesome person, Su Zhihan breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up a glass of wine, ready to drink, when a hand pressed it down on her head.
"Kid, that's enough! Do you want to get drunk?"
When Su Zhihan saw that it was Gu Lingyang, a charming smile appeared on her face: "Teacher Gu? It seems like I haven't had a drink with you yet. Come on, let's clink glasses and have a drink."
She slapped Gu Lingyang's hand away and downed a glass of wine in one gulp: "See, I drank it first, isn't that sincere enough?"
Su Zhihan's cheeks were already flushed.
Looking at Su Zhihan like this, Gu Lingyang's smile deepened.
Su Zhihan was almost swooning over Gu Lingyang.
Ahhh, she has many opportunists, but Gu Lingyang will always be the king.
Seeing Gu Lingyang's beautiful smile, Su Zhihan muttered, "Teacher Gu, don't smile so beautifully, or I'll think you... like me."
Su Zhihan spoke the last three words very softly, and Gu Lingyang did not hear them clearly.
"Little friend, what did you say? I didn't hear you."
Su Zhihan gets furious at the mere mention of the word "little kid," but Gu Lingyang seems to have gotten addicted to it and can't be corrected no matter what.
She looked utterly dejected. Fine, let Gu Lingyang call her whatever he wants.
Seeing that Gu Lingyang hadn't drunk any alcohol yet, Su Zhihan became upset.
"Teacher Gu, I already downed my drink, why aren't you drinking?"
"I don't want to drink here."
"If you don't want to drink here, where would you like to go?"
"My home." Gu Lingyang leaned closer, his voice slightly hoarse.
Because they were so close, Gu Lingyang's breath brushed against Su Zhihan's cheek, warm and ticklish.
Su Zhihan felt as if her heart had trembled.
Su Zhihan had been to Gu Lingyang's house before, but only for work reasons.
Isn't she Gu Lingyang's assistant, the kind who's on call 24/7?
To make her work easier, Su Zhihan now lives across from Gu Lingyang. Actually, it doesn't matter whose house she goes to for drinks, since they live across from each other now.
Su Zhihan already knew that Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan had run away, and their duties as best man and maid of honor were considered complete, so leaving now wouldn't cause any problems.
"Okay, I'll drink it when I get home."
Since everyone is at home, there's nothing wrong with her saying she wants to go home.
When Gu Lingyang heard the words "go home and drink," his eyes curved almost imperceptibly.
The two had been drinking, so they didn't drive and had the driver take them home.
As soon as she arrived home, Su Zhihan instinctively reached for her bedroom door, only to hear Gu Lingyang's cool voice: "Not drinking anymore?"
Su Zhihan had calmed down considerably after the long car ride, and now her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
She leaned against the door, glancing at Gu Lingyang with a seductive look that she was unaware of: "Do you have any snacks to go with your drinks?"
It's true that alcohol emboldens people.
She used to adore Gu Lingyang, regarding him as a star in the sky. But she never thought of being the one to pluck the star from the sky, because stars should hang high in the sky for people to admire and look up to.
Now, Su Zhihan discovered that she was truly audacious, daring to order Gu Lingyang around.
"I won't drink if there's no snack to go with it, and I don't want takeout."
There's no way she'll cook; she'll be lucky if she doesn't blow up the kitchen.
Now that it's just the two of them here, and she's not cooking, then the only one who can cook is Gu Lingyang.
Unexpectedly, Gu Lingyang agreed: "Okay. I'll cook some appetizers to go with the drinks, using ingredients we have at home. You can order whatever you want."
Su Zhihan immediately put on an arrogant expression: "This young lady is very picky about food. I absolutely won't eat anything that doesn't taste good!"
If she had a tail, it would probably be sticking up high in smug pride right now.
Gu Lingyang chuckled softly: "So little confidence in me? Kid, who do you think you are? Please."
Gu Lingyang gestured for him to proceed.
Su Zhihan did not hesitate and entered Gu Lingyang's house before him, as if she were the master of the house.
Gu Lingyang led Su Zhihan to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and told Su Zhihan what ingredients were available.
"Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
"Whatever." Don't be fooled by Su Zhihan's simple answer of "whatever," she was actually up to something.
Because the hardest thing is to be casual.
Seeing Su Zhihan smile like a little fox, her eyes crinkling with a sly glint, Gu Lingyang smiled too.
"Okay," he replied confidently.
"Go sit on the sofa and watch TV for a while, I'll make some snacks to go with the drinks."
Before returning, Su Zhihan had already changed out of her cumbersome bridesmaid dress. Now she was wearing a creamy white fitted chiffon blouse and light green high-waisted shorts, looking both sweet and wild.
Su Zhihan didn't leave immediately. She took out her phone from her pocket and pointed it at Gu Lingyang.
Ah, brother is cooking, and his back is amazing!
Gu Lingyang was still wearing a formal suit, with his shirt rolled up, revealing his strong and slender arms.
His profile is extremely attractive; he's a male god with no bad angles.
Men who cook are definitely the most handsome and the sexiest.
That's the ideal man every woman longs for.
Life is just about three meals a day. How could she be so lucky to have such a handsome man cooking for her?
Su Zhihan couldn't help but smile, secretly turning up her lips as she quietly turned on the video recording button.
She wanted to record it so she could enjoy it herself.
As if sensing Su Zhihan's burning gaze, Gu Lingyang turned his head and looked over, a slight smile playing on his lips.
When Gu Lingyang smiled, Su Zhihan felt as if she had completely lost herself.
Feeling guilty, she immediately put her phone away, stuffed it into her pocket, and casually flicked the end of her hair: "Teacher Gu, good luck then, I'm going to watch TV now."
Su Zhihan had only taken a few steps when she turned back, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Teacher Gu, let me help you."
"Aren't you tired?"
"I won't feel tired if I help you."
"Okay, then you peel the potatoes, and I'll make you some French fries in the air fryer."
"Great! I love this. With some chili powder and cumin, it'll be wonderful!"
Su Zhihan immediately became interested.
Gu Lingyang was preparing other ingredients when he heard the little girl beside him finally quiet down, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But, that breath only lasted for a fleeting moment before I almost couldn't catch my breath again...
