Gu Qingqing was already looking forward to the dinner that Fu Jue had prepared for her.
A touch of sweetness stirred within me.
It feels so good to be pampered.
Despite being pampered by the three Gu brothers, Gu Qingqing felt a surge of excitement as she experienced the affection of a man of the opposite sex with whom she had no blood relation for the first time.
——
The sun was setting in the west, casting its last rays.
Gu Qingqing sat on the balcony playing on her computer, enjoying a rare moment of leisure today.
Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted over.
"What's this smell?" Gu Qingqing twitched her nose twice, sniffing the source of the fragrance like a puppy.
"Barbecue!" It smelled like grilled skewers.
She immediately thought of Fu Jue making barbecue in the garden downstairs, because he knew she liked barbecue skewers, and that's why he wasn't afraid of the hard work and getting dirty to make them for her.
He must be trying to please her.
Hmph! She won't fall for it.
Immediately refocusing, Gu Qingqing concentrated on operating the computer, her beautiful, slender fingers flying across the black keyboard.
She was checking on An Susu and Zhai Shaolin's recent situation. Without her, An Susu, as the female protagonist with the protagonist's halo in the book, quickly developed a relationship with the male protagonist. At this time, they were being ambiguous. Dong Shu, as the fiancée and the second female lead, had already noticed their strange behavior.
They made a scene two or three times, but Zhai Shaolin brushed it off with a few words each time.
He was planning to cancel their engagement party next year. He had never liked Dong Shu and at most treated her like a younger sister.
It was either that she liked him, or that their parents had arranged the marriage.
An Susu has recently taken on two movies, one TV series, and three commercials. She is also preparing to release a pop song next month.
However, she didn't debut at Gu's Group's entertainment company, but at Duan Jinxun's entertainment company.
This deviates somewhat from the original plot, but it does not affect An Susu's future development.
With Duan Jinxun's help, An Susu was given leading roles, and he spent a lot of money to make her a rising star.
Having learned this, Gu Qingqing had a plan in mind.
She's been avoiding An Susu for the past month, hopefully it will be effective!
If he doesn't oppose An Susu and become one of the villains, he shouldn't suffer the same tragic ending as in the book.
She would not join Dong Shu's side and would try to stay away from Dong Shu as much as possible.
And then there's Zhai Wan'er. No wonder she hated me so much before and targeted me at every turn.
It turns out that Zhai Wan'er had sensed Fu Jue's affection for her all along, which is why she disliked him.
Now that she's certain Fu Jue truly loves her, she's even less able to appear in front of Zhai Wan'er.
Otherwise, given Zhai Wan'er's proud and extreme personality, she would definitely be driven mad by the provocation.
She was already a bit neurotic.
If Zhai Wan'er finds out about Fu Jue confessing his feelings to Gu Qingqing, she'll probably kill her.
She didn't want to clash with Zhai Wan'er.
She was, after all, the male protagonist Zhai Shaolin's younger sister, and had a certain amount of luck, but ultimately, she was the only one who could die.
Because the original setting of the book is that the original owner died, even if Zhai Wan'er never got Fu Jue's love in her entire life, she still lived to old age.
The air was filled with the smell of barbecue, and the rich aroma wafted into our noses, making our mouths water.
This tastes incredibly simple.
Gu Qingqing couldn't help but lick her lips, shifting her gaze from the computer to the garden on the first floor below.
"It smells so good, I really want to eat it." What should she do? She couldn't resist any longer.
At this moment, my stomach also started making "gurgling" sounds.
Gu Qingqing pouted and touched her flat stomach. She felt so hungry that her stomach was practically touching her back, and she definitely needed to eat dinner.
But Fu Jue was grilling downstairs, and she couldn't eat any skewers unless he brought them up.
Because she didn't want to go downstairs, nor did she want to see him.
Yes, she's still angry.
She didn't know how to face him.
——
In the garden
Fu Jue and his assistant Yin were making skewers on a barbecue grill, and a delicious aroma wafted through the air.
"Ah Yin, why isn't she coming down yet? I've already grilled over a dozen skewers." Fu Jue put down the freshly grilled lamb skewers and didn't put any more food on the grill.
He looked up towards Gu Qingqing's bedroom and could vaguely see her back.
"Mr. Fu, don't worry, she'll come out on her own soon enough." Assistant Yin looked up and saw Gu Qingqing's back.
Just then, she stood up, picked up her laptop, and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Fu, look at Miss Gu, isn't she about to come down? She definitely can't resist the urge to eat these grilled skewers."
Assistant Yin was smug. If he successfully lured Gu Qingqing out this time, Master Fu would definitely let him take a vacation.
He'll find a girlfriend and start dating then; it's been almost three months since he's had one.
"Is that so?" Fu Jue stared at Gu Qingqing's departing figure with a resolute expression. He didn't even turn around to look at her. Given her foodie persona, how could she not be in a hurry to find the fragrance of forgiveness?
He calmly sat there playing on the computer for half an hour.
So, Fu Jue and his assistant Yin ate barbecue skewers and drank ice-cold beer while waiting for Gu Qingqing to come downstairs.
Five minutes, ten minutes...
As time ticked by, she still did not appear before Fu Jue.
"Ah Yin, what's going on? We've been waiting for so long and she still hasn't come out."
"This..." Assistant Yin was also puzzled. Gu Qingqing clearly loved eating barbecue skewers the most, so how come she was able to resist this time?
"Miss Gu might have gone to the restroom. Why don't you take a bowl of kebabs and go check on her, Mr. Fu?"
Fu Jue: "..." Do you think I'm stupid?
They had no idea how much Gu Qingqing had suffered as she walked from the open-air balcony into the bedroom, enduring the pain of not opening the door to leave.
"Oh God! Why are you torturing me with this?" She clutched her stomach, curled up on the bed, and the more she thought about it, the hungrier she became, and the more painful it was.
