The kitchen door was frosted and transparent. Although it was impossible to see what was going on inside, one could vaguely make out people. Xu Wenlou couldn't just stand there and watch; after all, he had to pretend for Gu Jisui. So he stood in front of the stove, fiddling with things here and there, sometimes playing with the spatula, sometimes stirring with the egg beater.
In short, no real work was done.
Chen Yuan didn't expect Xu Wenlou to help, so she just cooked on her own. After a while, the kitchen was filled with fragrance.
Xu Wenlou sniffed the aroma of the food and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Deep jealousy and envy welled up in his eyes again - I didn't expect this girl to be such a good cook. They say that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach. What if Gu Jisui is really attracted by the delicious food...
No, we can't let this happen!
A slight smile appeared on Xu Wenlou's lips.
Half an hour later, Chen Yuan had prepared five dishes and a soup, each of which was delicious.
"Dinner is ready!"
As soon as the last dish was served, before Shen Yuan had time to take off her apron, Xu Wenlou changed his previous laziness and walked out with a smile, carrying the plate first, "Auntie, Ah Sui, come and try it!"
"Is that all?" Qin Mingyan still spoke with disdain as she reluctantly sat down at the table. "I'm used to eating Auntie Wu's cooking. I can't swallow something this simple!"
Gu Jisui also pulled out a chair and sat down.
He picked up the chopsticks quickly and put a piece of food into his mouth. His elegant eating posture was very beautiful.
It’s a pity that this elegance did not last long.
After only chewing twice, Gu Jisui frowned and his expression became strange, but he finally swallowed the food with difficulty.
Shen Yuan blinked.
What's going on?
Xu Wenlou also looked at Gu Jisui hesitantly, as if she had something to say but couldn't say it for a long time. She was silent and didn't pick up her chopsticks for a long time.
Qin Mingyan also picked up a piece of meat, and just as she put it in her mouth, she spat it out with a "Pah" sound, and shouted sarcastically: "What's wrong with you? Who puts so much salt in cooking! It's so salty! Did you pour all the leftover salt at home into it!
Chen Yuan's mind was full of questions, so he tasted it himself.
this…
How is that possible?
"Hmph, you look like a clueless fool. You can't even do such a simple thing. Can the Gu family still count on you to take charge in the future?" Qin Mingyan couldn't stop talking once she started, and kept mocking Chen Yuan. If Gu Jisui hadn't given her a sharp and threatening look, she would probably have scolded her until tomorrow morning.
Shen Yuan's eyes darkened.
Suddenly, I caught something out of the corner of my eye.
It turned out to be this woman's doing!
"Aunt, please don't blame Miss Shen. Miss Shen is a daughter of luxury, so it's understandable that she can't cook. It's also my fault that I didn't help well. If I had paid more attention when Miss Shen added salt, perhaps this wouldn't have happened." Xu Wenlou quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Gu Jisui and Qin Mingyan, seemingly defending Shen Yuan, "Come and drink some water... Ah! Shen Yuan, what are you doing!"
Chen Yuan grabbed Xu Wenlou's wrist with a cold face.
"Ms. Xu, your manicure is beautiful."
"But could you please explain to us what the white particles in the nail extensions are?"
"If you added salt properly, how could you get it even under your fingernails?"
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Xu Wenlou had never expected Shen Yuan to do this, and was at a loss for a moment: "How, how should I know!"
"Tsk, so annoying." Gu Jisui put his chopsticks heavily on the table, stood up impatiently, and walked towards the bedroom without eating. He ignored Xu Wenlou's ultimate explanation and pleas to stay, leaving only his back and a few words indifferently, "Housekeeper, take Chen Yuan to the guest bedroom."
The Gu family's housekeeper is a serious middle-aged man, Uncle Zhou.
He politely brought Shen Yuan to a bedroom of about fifty to sixty square meters, and asked someone to bring a full set of bedding and pajamas.
Shen Yuan thanked him and started to pack up.
The bedroom door was not closed, leaving a crack.
"Is this your first time living in such a large room?" Xu Wenlou appeared at the doorway, seemingly a ghost. "I'll remind you again: don't covet things that don't belong to you. Even if you move into the Gu family, even if you become Ah Sui's fiancée, you'll still be an outsider who doesn't deserve your favor."
Just now, Xu Wenlou knocked on Gu Jisui's door for a long time, trying to defend himself, but got no response.
In desperation, she could only vent her anger on Shen Yuan.
"So who's the favored one? Is it you?" Chen Yuan smiled coldly, constantly poking at Xu Wenlou's sore spots. "You're so favored that you can't even get into Gu Jisui's car and have to find a way to get home on your own? You're so favored that even Quanquan doesn't like you?"
"you!"
At this moment, Uncle Zhou appeared at the corner of the stairs and bowed respectfully to the two of them. "Miss Xu, Madam, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm here to deliver a high-end dress for Mr. Gu."
After saying that, he pointed to the waiter behind him.
The waiter was holding a pure white long dress with diamond embellishments on the hem and waist. It was perfectly cut and uniquely designed, and it was obvious that it was of great value.
"Mr. Gu said that Madam can wear it at the wedding banquet in a week."
Wedding banquet...Xu Wenlou bit his lips tightly, and his shoulders trembled slightly with anger.
"Okay, thank Mr. Gu for me." Chen Yuan smiled lightly and took the dress naturally, her tone slightly shy. "He is usually so busy, but he still prepared a dress for me. It's really troublesome. I am blessed to marry him."
Yes, that’s right, she did it on purpose to anger Xu Wenlou.
"What wedding banquet or not! Ah Sui is too willful. How can we be so careless about such an important event in life! Miss Shen, don't be happy too soon. Ah Sui was just impulsive. He can't really let you be Mrs. Gu!" Sure enough, once Xu Wenlou got involved with Gu Ji Sui, it was difficult for her to stay calm. She glared at Shen Yuan with red eyes, turned around and left angrily.
Shen Yuan hung the dress in the closet and continued to tidy up the bedroom.
As she was putting away her pants, Quanquan rushed in. As soon as she came in, she bit Chen Yuan's trouser leg and gently pulled it towards the door, as if she wanted to lead her out.
"Circle, where are you taking me?"
Chen Yuan was puzzled, but still followed Quanquan's instructions and walked out. Quanquan barked all the way, looking back at Chen Yuan from time to time, and finally led her to the master bedroom.
The master bedroom is 20 to 30 square meters larger than the guest bedroom, and the decoration style is cool and simple.
In the bathroom on the right, water was running, the glass door was closed, the light behind the door was on, and there was steam, probably someone was taking a bath inside.
"Ayun, help me get the pajamas from the bed."
Gu Jisui's voice sounded, mixed with moisture, and seemed deeper and more pleasant than usual.
