Volume 1 Chapter 87: In the living room and in the kitchen
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Chiye served the loving meal he had prepared.
Before opening the hood, he cleared his throat and made some foreshadowing.
“As Zhu Sheng mentioned, we didn’t have much experience living together before due to various reasons.
For this charity meal, I had the same idea as Zhu Sheng, planning to make a dish that is within my ability and may not necessarily suit her taste.
But if there is a next chance, maybe I can do better after knowing what she likes. "
Gu Chiye looked a little lonely, as if he was regretting that they had been together for three years but it was only on this show that they really started to get to know each other.
Everyone present thought that Gu Chiye was not very good at cooking, so in order not to let Zhu Sheng be too disappointed, they gave everyone a heads-up.
However, with the support of the willful president Yin Qianmu, everyone is now extremely tolerant of Gu Chiye.
After all, nothing could be more exaggerated than taking out a bucket of instant noodles.
There were some little fans of Gu Chi Ye among the staff, and they couldn't help but cheer him on at this moment.
"It's okay, Mr. Gu. The most important thing about a charity meal is the thought. As long as you make it with your heart, Miss Zhu will definitely feel your sincerity!"
Gu Chiye smiled slightly and did not give any further explanation.
He opened the lid to reveal the love meal.
There were several dishes neatly arranged on the plate.
The main course was undoubtedly the black pepper steak in the middle, with mapo tofu and vegetable salad on the side, and the staple food was a large plate of tomato meat sauce pasta.
The dishes on this table were delicious and appetizing, and the staff present couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
It was obvious that Gu Chiye's cooking skills were beyond everyone's expectations.
Not to mention compared with Yin Qianmu, who is also the president, he is not inferior even when compared with everyone before him.
How can a man, especially a president who comes from a wealthy family and holds a high position of power, cook a table full of delicious food so easily?
Director Kong hesitated for a while, then asked cautiously with a suspicious tone: "Mr. Gu, did you really make all these dishes yourself?"
He emphasized the word "personally" deliberately, fearing that Gu Chiye had sought external help or secretly ordered takeout to be delivered.
Although it may not be a friendly question, his years of experience in program production has taught him.
If Gu Chiye really did something like that, it would be better for him to admit it himself rather than having it exposed by netizens. At least that way it would be easier for public relations afterwards and would also be better for his personal reputation.
Before Gu Chiye could explain, Lin Muyun jumped out again, claiming to be an insider, and spoke with a proud face.
"Brother Chi Ye went abroad to study before. In order to train his abilities, Grandpa Gu deliberately suspended all his credit cards. So Brother Chi Ye worked part-time to pay for his studies while starting his own business. He eventually returned after he listed his company.
In the early days of starting his business, he cooked for himself to save money, so he became a good cook. ”
As he spoke, Lin Muyun deliberately glanced at Zhu Sheng again and said proudly, "Only those who have been to his overseas apartment have the opportunity to eat Brother Chi Ye's food. Others are not qualified at all."
This statement was obviously an allusion. Zhu Sheng, as his wife, not only did not know about this past, but she had not even had the chance to eat the food cooked by Gu Chiye.
That period was undoubtedly a turbulent time for the Gu family. Old Master Gu disliked Gu Chiye and wanted to pave the way for his second son, so he deliberately sent Gu Chiye abroad, leaving him to fend for himself in the name of examining his abilities.
But no one expected that Gu Chiye was so wealthy that he not only received scholarships every year, but also started a small business abroad. When he graduated, he reestablished business relations with the Gu family as a partner. After a series of open and covert struggles, he got his current position as the head of the Gu family.
Zhu Sheng didn't know much about these things.
From the original owner's notebook, all she knew was that Gu Chiye went abroad to study after graduating from high school.
Their first meeting was when Gu Chiye had returned to China after achieving success and giving a lecture to his younger classmates in the school auditorium.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhu Sheng.
Compared to those old memories, the feast in front of her made her more excited.
However, Gu Chiye did not seem to want Zhu Sheng to misunderstand him. He added something quickly after Lin Muyun finished speaking, as if to explain something.
“Not really, most of the time I cook just to feed myself.
When other people came, they could only pick up a pair of chopsticks at most. This is the first time for me to cook for one person properly.
Besides, what I cook are just some home-cooked dishes, not really any great delicacies, and what Zhu Sheng cooks is more interesting.”
It can be seen that Gu Chiye is deliberately being humble in front of Zhu Sheng, implying that she is the most special one.
Lin Muyun was very angry, but was also worried that if he said too much he would be blocked again, so he could only shut up and sulk by himself.
Looking at Lin Muyun's stupid look, Zhu Sheng cursed him in his heart that he deserved it.
Even when eating a meal, she has to compete with others in order of priority. This green tea sister has really engraved female competition in her mind.
If you want to pursue Chi Ye, just go for it. Why would you compete with her who is about to become your ex-wife?
It seems that there is a reason why these two people have not been together for so many years. Lin Muyun is really too pretentious.
With the mentality that it wouldn't hurt to step on it one more time, Zhu Sheng took a bite of the tender and juicy steak, looked up and said to Gu Chiye.
"Mr. Gu is really good at cooking and making money. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to enjoy your services for three years. I really envy your next wife."
Hearing Zhu Sheng's half-praise and half-sarcasm words, Gu Chiye's expression changed unpredictably.
When he heard the first half of the sentence, he felt somewhat happy, thinking that this meal had touched Zhu Sheng's heart.
I just wanted to sigh, the old saying that to capture a person's heart, you must first capture her stomach is indeed an irrefutable truth.
But when I heard the second half of the sentence, my heart sank again.
Does Zhu Sheng mean that he should be nicer to his next wife?
When their marriage is so simply relegated to the past, is there really no room for maneuver?
Gu Chiye's eyes were dark, his Adam's apple moved slowly, and after a while he replied bitterly: "I'm sorry, I made you suffer in the past three years."
Hearing these slightly apologetic words, Zhu Sheng was not moved at all, and only felt indescribable sadness in his heart.
In the past three years, the person who really suffered was not her, but the original owner.
Unfortunately, the original owner never had the chance to hear this apology.
The girl who loved Gu Chiye ended her life when the show just started.
The longer Zhu Sheng stays in this world, the more he can't distinguish between the present and the past.
She knew very well that this was the story of a book.
The protagonist can only act according to the author's will, and looking at Chi Ye's past, he may just be acting as a puppet.
She came to this world through a book, and in order to change her own tragic fate, she took a series of actions that invisibly changed the fate of others.
So, is Gu Chiye in front of us a character created by the author, or is he a life that has created a new self with her participation?
No matter what the situation is, she is not qualified now to forgive Gu Chiye for what he did in the past three years.
Not only that, there is an even more difficult issue at the moment.
Zhu Sheng had already decided to let go and initiated a divorce. Logically, she should not be involved in the entanglement between the male and female protagonists again.
However, Lin Muyun, the heroine of the original book, still regards her as a thorn in her side.
Thinking of this, Zhu Sheng felt a surge of anger in his heart.
