Chapter 1089 Dark Cuisine
Gu Wanqiu stared at Li Jinxing's driver in astonishment, feeling a surge of anger in her heart.
Why couldn't Li Jinxing show some respect? Did she ask his driver to pick her up? What if Gong Qing saw her suddenly appear in front of him?
The driver didn't have the same insight as Li Jinxing. He didn't know what Gu Wanqiu was thinking and urged her to get in the car: "Ms. Gu, please get in first. It's getting late. If you go too late, I won't be able to explain to Mr. Li."
Not only was it difficult for him to explain, but Gu Wanqiu was not much better off. She knew that she was not capable of fighting against Li Jinxing, so she could only swallow her anger.
Gu Wanqiu opened the car door and got in. "Can you please not pick me up in the future?" she asked the driver in a negotiating tone.
The driver answered her while driving: "It depends on what Mr. Li thinks. Why don't you talk to him?"
Gu Wanqiu was frowning. Actually, it would be nice to have someone pick her up from get off work every day. It could save her a lot of money, but the risk of being discovered was quite high. Gu Wanqiu thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.
"If there's a next time, when you come to pick me up, can you park at the same place where I got off yesterday, at the cake shop?"
"Sure." Even if the driver was slow to react, he figured it out. Gu Wanqiu was obviously hiding because she was worried about being seen picking her up. Who was she afraid of? Of course, she was afraid of being seen by the people she cared about.
The driver felt he needed to explain: "Ms. Gu, when President Li asked me to pick you up, he specifically instructed me to only drive over and park in front of you when one person comes out, so that no one else will see you."
Gu Wanqiu was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Li Jinxing to take the exam for her.
Without thinking so much, I thought he was used to doing things his own way.
The car drove to Li Jinxing's house. Before it stopped, Gu Wanqiu saw two children rushing out to greet her.
The two brothers wore the same clothes today, with little yellow ducks printed on them. They were not as formal as they wore yesterday, but they were also very cute.
Gu Wanqiu squatted down as soon as she got out of the car, and the two children rushed into her arms.
"Aunt Gu, my brother and I miss you so much."
She missed them too, but Gu Wanqiu didn't say it. Out of selfishness, she didn't want to show that she cared too much about his two children in front of Li Jinxing.
"We haven't seen each other for just one night. Do you miss him that much?" Gu Wanqiu smiled and pinched the tip of Li Siyan's nose gently.
"Of course, I dream about you every night."
"Me too." Li Sixu responded unwillingly, wanting to prove that he cared about his mother too.
"What did you dream about me?"
"I dreamed that you cooked a lot of delicious food for us today, including boiled fish, hairy crabs, crayfish, fried chicken fillet..." As he spoke, he was about to drool. Li Siyan wiped the corner of his mouth in a cowardly manner, like a little greedy cat, and it was hard not to laugh.
Gu Wanqiu laughed out loud, but then felt a little embarrassed because she didn't know how to make the "big meal" that Li Siyan mentioned.
If possible, she wanted to secretly order takeout when no one was around, and then put it on the plate to replace the food. However, this was just a thought. It was impossible to avoid being discovered, after all, Li Jinxing's people were everywhere here.
Forget it, instead of thinking about these trivial things, I might as well build a good relationship with the chef here and let her teach me.
Gu Wan
Qiu stood up with the two children and saw Li Jinxing.
A beautiful day ended the moment I saw Li Jinxing.
"Hello, Mr. Li." Gu Wanqiu greeted him reluctantly. There were still 99 days left in the hundred days, and she couldn't just keep ignoring him.
Gu Wanqiu created a 100-day schedule for herself. With each passing day, a space would be blacked out. She counted anxiously, hoping that the spaces would become fewer and fewer, so that she would be closer to regaining her freedom.
"Well, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." Gong Qing prepared a sandwich in the morning. It was a simple and nutritious meal, and he finished it quickly.
Li Siyan raised his head, trying to get his mother's attention: "Aunt Gu, guess what my brother and I had for breakfast this morning?"
"Hmm..." Gu Wanqiu dragged out the tone, as if he was thinking seriously, and did not give him a perfunctory answer just because he was a child.
Gu Wanqiu saw milk stains on the little guy's lips, and there were faint traces of egg yolk. Children can't eat much breakfast, so she would always guess right if she guessed a few more times.
"I guess you had milk and eggs for breakfast."
"Wow..." Li Siyan looked at Gu Wanqiu with admiration, "Aunt Gu's guess was right. My brother and I had milk, eggs, and big meat buns this morning. The buns were so big that my brother and I each got half. We were very full. Look, my stomach is bulging."
Li Siyan touched his round belly, and the little yellow duck on his clothes seemed to have gained weight.
The two children were raised very well by Li Jinxing. They were white and chubby, with a pair of arms and round bodies from head to toe. They looked cute, but being too fat was not good. Their body shape had to be controlled.
“No matter how delicious the food is, you can’t eat it.
Too much. Eating too much can make you sick, and if you get fat, you won’t be able to wear nice clothes.”
Li Siyan shook his head like a rattle: "I don't want it. I want to wear nice clothes. I don't want to get fat... I'd better eat less in the future..."
On the other side, although Li Sixu didn't say a word, his face was full of worry. He was afraid that he would become a fat boy and ugly and no one would like him. If he became fat and heavy... what if his mother couldn't hold him?
Gu Wanqiu had no idea that her casual remark had caused the two children to imagine so much.
Li Siyan added, "But today, I asked you to make lunch. Can I eat more of the lunch you made?"
When it comes to making lunch, Gu Wanqiu gets a headache. It's not like she hasn't cooked before. She has tried many times over the years, but every time she cooks something that is hard to describe. It's not an exaggeration to call it dark cuisine. Maybe she really doesn't have the talent for it.
Seeing the two children looking forward to today's lunch, I'm afraid they will never want to watch her cook again once she really makes it.
Gu Wanqiu was obviously avoiding Li Jinxing. Although they were in the same room, she focused all her attention on the two children and kept talking to them to divert the influence of Li Jinxing on her.
When she saw Li Jinxing, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. Anyone could see that she was very afraid of Li Jinxing.
After being inside for a while, Gu Wanqiu found that she didn't seem to see the chef today.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Jinxing asked Gu Wanqiu to prepare today's lunch.
Gu Wanqiu originally planned to ask the chef to help her teach her how to cook, but she didn't see anyone until ten o'clock.
.
"Where is the chef here?" Gu Wanqiu asked.
"Take a break today, or what would I ask you to make for lunch?"
Wasn't he asking her to make lunch just to humiliate her?
"It's still early..." It was just ten o'clock, and Gu Wanqiu had no idea how long it would take to cook a table of dishes. At home, she would just sit and wait for Gong Qing's arrangements, and occasionally order takeout. She didn't think it took much time, at most an hour to prepare, including the soup, for three dishes.
"It's getting late, and I'm a little hungry..." He's not hungry in his stomach, but hungry in his heart. He is so hungry that if there is no food to fill his stomach, he can only choose other things, such as - people.
It is indeed very inconvenient to have two children here. For the first time, Li Jinxing felt that having children was also quite troublesome.
He feels good when he can make use of it, and feels annoyed when he can't.
"You two have been playing all morning, now go upstairs and read and practice calligraphy."
"But..." Li Siyan opened his mouth in grievance, but was sternly interrupted by Li Jinxing before he could finish his words.
"Nothing, go upstairs."
"Okay, brother, let's go." He still wanted to watch his mother cook and wanted to be his mother's little helper, but he really didn't dare to resist his father. He could see that his father was deliberately trying to drive him away just to create an opportunity to be alone with his mother.
After all, this is his father. In order to let his mother stay here forever, he can only help his father create opportunities to pursue his mother.
As soon as the two children left, Gu Wanqiu felt uncomfortable thinking about facing Li Jinxing alone.
Although the child went upstairs, there were still servants. As soon as she thought of this, she saw the people inside
Everyone walked out.
Now it’s really just her and Li Jinxing left.
