Gu Zixiao was overjoyed to be back and to have successfully proposed to someone.
Lan Yao: "Sure. I haven't had hot pot in a long time either."
Gu Zixiao: "How long? Was it when I wasn't around? Didn't you want to? Is it because I can't be by your side?"
Lan Yao: ...
She really wanted to roll her eyes at Gu Zixiao. You're usually so busy, how could you have the leisure for that?
However, seeing Gu Zixiao so happy, Lan Yao didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.
So she nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what you think."
Gu Zixiao was immediately delighted when she heard Lan Yao's words, "I knew you cared about me."
Since you care about me so much, I'll stay by your side whenever you want to eat hot pot.
Lan Yao pinched his cheek, "Don't make promises you can't keep."
Gu Zixiao is so busy with work. She can go on missions anytime she needs to.
How could she possibly be there for her whenever she wanted hot pot, fulfilling such a beautiful fantasy?
Gu Zixiao reacted quickly, immediately realizing the reason behind Lan Yao's words. He smiled awkwardly, "Are you going to say anything or not? I apologize, I'm sorry. But I can promise that from now on, whenever you want to eat hot pot, I'll try my best to be by your side, okay?"
Lan Yao: ...
I don't quite understand. It's just eating hot pot, why does it lead to such a romantic topic?
However, since Gu Zixiao has already said that, it wouldn't be good for Lan Yao to dampen his enthusiasm.
She nodded. "Since you've said that, you'd better keep your promise from now on."
Gu Zixiao patted her chest and smiled brightly at him, "I promise I'll keep my word."
Lan Yao pinched his cheek again and said irritably, "Have you forgotten what I just said? Don't make promises you can't keep, or I'll get angry."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zixiao repeatedly said, "I know I was wrong."
Lan Yao hummed in agreement and pointed towards the kitchen. "Yes, you're back now, and I haven't had your cooking in a long time. I really want some. So, besides the dishes for the harem, could you please make a couple more?"
Gu Zixiao was overjoyed upon hearing this, and couldn't be happier. "Of course. Just watch how I perform."
Gu Zixiao happened to go to the Northwest for this mission. The beef and mutton there taste particularly good.
When I ate with Lan Yao before, she always complained that the beef and mutton here didn't taste very good and had a bit of a gamey smell.
She added, "You said the beef and mutton from the Northwest are extremely delicious, I wonder when I'll have the chance to taste them."
When Lan Yao said this, her eyes were filled with longing.
I regret that I cannot go to the Northwest at this time.
Therefore, after receiving the mission to go to the Northwest, Gu Zixiao did not hesitate to go there.
When the task was almost finished, Gu Zixiao spent a lot of money to buy a lot of beef and mutton.
Of course, the journey from the Northwest to the capital is long. Gu Zixiao couldn't possibly transport fresh beef and mutton by land. Instead, she used special methods to store the freshly slaughtered beef and mutton in her personal space.
His space is a special space where food can be stored for a very long time.
However, Gu Zixiao rarely used it before. Usually, she only used it to store some small odds and ends.
Moreover, that thing needs to be carried with you at all times, just like a small wallet.
After Gu Zixiao brought the item back, Lan Yao showed her his spatial storage, and Lan Yao said, "It looks like a storage magic treasure from the cultivation world. Where did you get this?"
Gu Zixiao: "I obtained it by chance in a secret room during a mission. I almost died trying to get it."
Lan Yao touched Gu Zixiao's face, feeling a little sorry for him. "I really didn't know you would risk something like this. Don't be so greedy and risk losing more than you gain next time."
Gu Zixiao: "Of course. Before, I was alone, and life and death didn't matter to me. But it's different now..."
Gu Zixiao looked at Lan Yao with deep affection and longing.
Lan Yao sensed the intense emotion in Gu Zixiao's gaze, hugged him, kissed him twice, and then chased him to the kitchen.
"Alright, my darling, I know you're deeply in love with me and reluctant to part. But it's getting late, and I'm a little hungry. Can we cook first, and then chat while we eat?"
Gu Zixiao: "Okay, I understand. No one else can go hungry, but my baby can't."
Lan Yao: ...
I don't know who I learned it from.
Lan Yao: "Okay, baby, go ahead."
Gu Zixiao's ears turned red when she heard Lan Yao address him that way. She glanced at Lan Yao shyly, then turned and went to the kitchen to cook without looking back.
After finally managing to get the clingy little devil Gu Zixiao to the kitchen to cook, Lan Yao could finally get back to her own business.
Grandma Yu walked over at this moment and asked with a smile, "Have you calmed him down?"
To be honest, Grandma Yu had never seen such a clingy man.
Lan Yao nodded helplessly, her fingers flying across the object with practiced ease.
This is something she obtained from the trading device using the jade abacus; it's said to be a material with excellent defensive properties.
Gu Zixiao's missions are usually very dangerous. After obtaining the materials, Lan Yao thought of knitting two sets of protective clothing for Gu Zixiao.
At the time, Yu Suanpan was still a little dissatisfied, feeling that giving such a good thing to Gu Zixiao was a waste of his money.
Lan Yao didn't care at all. Gu Zixiao was powerful and in a safe place, so there was almost no one who could hurt him.
Unlike Gu Zixiao, who always runs to dangerous places, Lan Yao would inevitably worry a little after spending so much time with Gu Zixiao.
After all, there aren't many men like Gu Zixiao who are handsome, capable, have a little money, and are clingy to him.
Lan Yao is a person with a strong desire for control, and Gu Zixiao happens to like listening to him and catering to his desire for control.
That's really great.
Grandma Yu saw Lan Yao nod and asked with a smile, "I just saw him all smiles. Did you say something to make him so happy?"
Lan Yao didn't hide it from Grandma Yu and told her about Gu Zixiao's marriage proposal.
After hearing this, your grandma pursed her lips, somewhat disgusted, "My Lanyao is so good, how could such a bad guy have snatched her into his den?"
Lan Yao smiled gently, "Grandma Yu, I know you love me. But Gu Zixiao is no less so; he's been very good to me. Besides, if he treats me badly in the future, I can easily kick him out if I want to."
