Gu Zixiao came out of the kitchen with a smile in her eyes, "I heard what you two were saying."
So many years have passed, but Grandma Yu is still the same.
It's as if he wouldn't feel comfortable unless he stirred up trouble between him and Lan Yao.
Gu Zixiao understood Grandma Yu's thoughts very well.
He also knew why Grandma Yu did that.
But so what?
Gu Zixiao simply couldn't do what Grandma Yu was worried about.
He has had a dream since he was a child.
If he finds someone he loves in this life, he will never betray that person.
Furthermore, how can a responsible man so easily cheat on his wife and burden a woman with undue pressure?
It's simply that the two people's feelings for each other have become incompatible or extremely distant, which is why they choose to separate.
His feelings for Lan Yao only grew deeper. Lan Yao was like a vast treasure trove, one he could never fully unearth.
Therefore, Gu Zixiao has reason to believe that no matter how many years pass in the future, his feelings for Lan Yao will only grow deeper and will never change.
Grandma Yu watched him walk out of the kitchen and snorted coldly, "Your ears are quite sharp."
Gu Zixiao: "Of course, if my hearing isn't good, I'm afraid you'll start gossiping about me again."
Grandma Yu: "Weren't you just saying that I was trying to sow discord?"
Gu Zixiao: "Did I say something wrong?"
Grandma Yu: "I was wrong. I was just sincerely giving Lan Yao my advice."
"You seem so sensitive. You came out of the kitchen without even thinking."
Gu Zixiao: "This is a normal psychological reaction, okay?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, Lan Yao sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "I'm telling you, if you two keep arguing, it'll be dark by then. Do you even want to eat?"
Grandma Yu and Gu Zixiao both shut their mouths at the same time, each snorted at the other, and decided to go about their own business.
Lan Yao looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly.
Whether it was Grandma Yu or Gu Zixiao, Lan Yao was well aware of their kindness towards him.
He also knew about the issues that Grandma Yu had been worried about all these years.
Doesn't this indirectly show that he holds an extremely important position in his grandmother's heart?
Otherwise, why would anyone worry about you?
Lan Yao felt a warmth in her heart when she thought of this.
He felt very lucky; if he hadn't met Grandma Yu, he would never have experienced the warmth of family in his life.
Lan Yao'er didn't even want to think about what kind of people everyone was like before.
So Lan Yao put down what she was holding, went to Grandma Yu's side, and gently coaxed her.
Grandma Yu also liked being coaxed by Lan Yao, so she simply went along with it and accepted her coaxing.
In addition to hot pot, Gu Zixiao also casually prepared six other dishes for dinner that evening.
There are braised mutton, sauerkraut with pork belly, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried shredded potatoes with chili peppers.
A whole table full of food, almost like it's almost Chinese New Year.
Grandma Yu was already used to this.
They have two big eaters in their family. Even if you give them four times the amount on this table, the two people across from them could still finish it.
At the beginning, Gu Zixiao ate twice as much as a normal person.
Later, perhaps because he ate too much with Lan Yao, his appetite gradually improved.
As a result, he started to eat more and more.
As his appetite increased, his physical strength and mental appearance also improved significantly.
Whether in terms of combat skills or physical fitness, Gu Zixiao has improved significantly compared to before.
However, he still couldn't beat Lan Yao, and could be knocked down by Lan Yao with a single kick at any time.
Gu Zixiao was both happy and worried about this.
What's good is that his daughter Lan Yao is really amazing.
What worries him is that with such a capable wife, he wonders if she will look down on him for being weak.
Gu Zixiao was constantly worried about this, fearing that Lan Yao would dislike him and abandon him.
Once, he let it slip, which made Lan Yao laugh non-stop.
Gu Zixiao looked at Lan Yao with a resentful smile.
After Lan Yao had finished laughing, he asked with a hint of resentment, "Darling, are you disgusted with me?"
Lan Yao: "No, don't worry. Just because you're so good-looking, I won't look down on you."
Gu Zixiao: ...
Okay, so you were attracted to his looks.
Waaaaah, I feel so sad, I want to cry, what should I do?
Lan Yao really only likes his face, not him as a person?
I'm so sad, I need some comfort.
Gu Zixiao was very direct in telling Lan Yao what he wanted to say, and even expressed how heartbroken he was because of her words.
Lan Yao pinched his face, looking completely innocent: "Don't you want to think about how awful your personality was before?"
If I hadn't been attracted to your looks, do you think I would be with you?
I want someone who likes me. At the very least, we need to spend time together every day so I can understand your personality, your character, and whether I'll like you.
At the very least, my requirements are that we share the same values and interests.
When we're together, you always react quickly to whatever I say and can respond to the conversation.
If we don't even have anything in common, how can we get married and live together?
Of course, besides your face, your cooking skills are barely passable.
Gu Zixiao was speechless after Lan Yao's words.
In fact, Lan Yao's words make a lot of sense.
He found himself unable to refute it.
Back to the present, since Lan Yao hadn't had Gu Zixiao's cooking for quite a while, he praised Gu Zixiao's culinary skills lavishly after trying each dish. His face flushed red with admiration.
After tasting it, Grandma Yu nodded repeatedly, even saying quite frankly, "I feel like your cooking skills have improved even further!"
Gu Zixiao looked at Lan Yao with gentle, affectionate eyes, "That's because when we're on a mission, I always ask the locals where the best chefs cook."
Although many restaurants are now nationalized, it's not difficult to find out about them if you're willing to put in the effort.
In addition, I do have a real talent for cooking. As long as the chef is willing to teach me, I can almost perfectly replicate their dishes within three tries.
Of course, to make him think I posed no threat, I always told him directly that my wife loves to eat, and that learning to cook was to increase my standing in her heart. If I could win her over through her stomach, I'd naturally have to put in more effort to marry her.
Grandma Yu remained silent after hearing this.
Honestly, most people wouldn't have done what Gu Zixiao did.
This shows just how much Gu Zixiao cares for Lan Yao.
