Chapter 77: Sorry, this is Gu's first time cooking.
Xiao Yan's voice, along with his footsteps, came to an abrupt end at the door of the reception room.
Oh no, with his temper, he'll definitely be furious to see me and Fu Heng like this!
In a moment of panic, Gu Mingxia opened her mouth and bit Fu Heng's lip hard. Fu Heng, in pain, released his grip on Gu Mingxia.
With bloodstains on his lips, he looked at Gu Mingxia with displeasure.
When did she get involved with Fu Heng? Why has she changed so much in the seven years I've been gone?
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, but his face remained expressionless as he glanced indifferently at Gu Mingxia, whose lips were stained with blood.
"Sorry to interrupt, please continue!"
After saying that, Xiao Yan turned around and left the reception room.
Gu Mingxia glared at Fu Heng fiercely, then strode out to chase after him. When she reached the door of the reception room, she turned around and stared into Fu Heng's eyes.
"Fu Heng, if this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Okay! You're welcome to be impolite to me anytime!"
Fu Heng casually pulled a tissue from the table to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. As he walked past Gu Mingxia, he lowered his head and whispered seductively in her ear.
"Mingxia, this time I will never let go! One day, you will be my Mrs. Fu!"
After saying that, Fu Heng stopped looking at Gu Mingxia's expression and walked out of the reception room.
Gu Mingxia watched his retreating figure and suddenly wanted to yell "shit!" at him. "Are you sick in the head? Why did you have to marry a withered flower like me? Do you think you can graft me into a new flower or a new tree?"
However, Gu Mingxia didn't have time to guess what Fu Heng was thinking. She quickly walked to the president's office, and when she went in, she found that Xiao Yan had already left. Gu Mingxia frowned. What a stingy man! He actually left without waiting for her!
Gu Mingxia was furious at Xiao Yan's abrupt departure. However, thinking about what Xiao Yan had just witnessed, her dissatisfaction with him lessened somewhat. She grabbed her bag and left the company directly.
I took a taxi from the company entrance back to the villa, but when I entered, I found that Xiao Yan hadn't come back at all.
Gu Mingxia kicked off her shoes and sat on the sofa. This man's stinginess was really frustrating. She took out her phone to call Xiao Yan, but it was switched off!
"Hmph, if you're so capable, then never come back!"
Although that's what she said, Gu Mingxia still felt a little guilty. If she had left with Liang Yuhao when he left, Fu Heng wouldn't have kissed her forcibly, and Xiao Yan wouldn't have been angry at the scene.
What's going on every day?! Gu Mingxia angrily pounded the pillow in her arms, suddenly feeling very hungry. But Xiao Yan wasn't there, and no one was cooking for her. At this moment, Gu Mingxia really missed Xiao Yan; at least his cooking was delicious!
Gu Mingxia was hungry, so she walked to the refrigerator and looked inside. Surprisingly, there was a good selection of food. She opened the freezer and found that there were even wontons inside. After thinking about it, she decided to make a bowl of wontons to tide her over.
After making the decision happily, Gu Mingxia quickly cooked the wontons. While eating, she thought to herself, "Living alone in such a big villa is really lonely and boring! Even when I'm eating, there's no one to talk to. I'm really not used to this kind of life!"
After a good meal and a nap, Gu Mingxia went downstairs but still didn't see Xiao Yan return. She checked her phone but there were no calls or texts from him. She called Xiao Yan again, but his phone was still off.
"Hmph, they'd better not come back!"
Gu Mingxia tossed her phone onto the sofa, sat cross-legged, picked up a travel magazine, and flipped through it to see the mark Xiao Yan had made. It was a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and the description said the scenery looked pretty good.
However, Gu Mingxia had never been very interested in travel. She put down the travel magazine, picked up a financial magazine, and began reading it with great interest. She didn't know how long she read, but when she looked up, it was already dark outside the window.
Ugh, I have to cook for myself again!
Gu Mingxia stared at the refrigerator for a while, then suddenly made a great decision: to cook for herself!
The thought flashed through her mind, and Gu Mingxia immediately took out the eggplant, shredded meat, green vegetables, and mushrooms inside.
"Since you're angry today, I'll cook you your favorite dish!"
Gu Mingxia muttered to herself as she picked the vegetables, but the ideal was far from reality. After washing the vegetables, she realized she didn't know how to cook!
While searching for recipes on her phone and chopping vegetables, Gu Mingxia accidentally cut her hand with the knife. She pinched her sore finger and glared angrily at the vegetables on the cutting board.
"You damned Xiao Yan, if I make this and you dare not eat it, I'll shove it into your mouth!"
Gu Mingxia put on a band-aid and continued her battle with the dishes. Finally, after a busy night, the table was filled with fish-flavored eggplant, green vegetables and mushrooms, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, as well as two steaks that were fried to a dark brown color and could not be recognized as steaks!
She had heard Xiao Yan say that when he was in the orphanage, these were the three dishes he ate the most. Every weekend, kind people would bring him steak. These dishes remained his favorites until he grew up!
"It looks pretty good!"
As Gu Mingxia looked at the recipe, she thought to herself with pride that she really did have a talent for cooking. Just by looking at the recipe, she was able to make such a delicious and visually appealing dish. Xiao Yan would definitely be moved when he came back!
I glanced at the clock; it was already eight o'clock. Why hadn't Xiao Yan returned yet?
Gu Mingxia picked up the phone and called, but it was still switched off. This time, she was really angry.
"Hmph, you'd better not come back! I'm moving out tomorrow!"
"Oh, so you've found someone new and are trying to dump me, the old one? Moving out, where do you want to move to? At Fu Heng's place?"
As soon as Xiao Yan entered the living room, she heard someone muttering to herself. Thinking of how Fu Heng kissed her in the reception room, Xiao Yan felt a pang of jealousy.
"So you finally decided to come back! Your phone was off all day, are you trying to rebel?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Gu Mingxia rushed over from the restaurant. Xiao Yan was about to reply when he looked up and froze.
Gu Mingxia's hair was disheveled, her clothes were covered in oil stains, and she had several red blisters on her arms from being scalded by hot oil. There was also a smear of charred black on her beautiful face.
What did she do at home to make herself look like this?
"Even if I hadn't come back, you didn't need to hurt yourself, did you?"
Xiao Yan took off his coat, walked to Gu Mingxia's side, and gently wiped away the smear of burnt color from her face.
Surrounded by the smell of the kitchen on her, Xiao Yan felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
This is his Xiaxia, how could she go to the kitchen to cook? He wants his Xiaxia to be happy and joyful forever, not to be cooking in the kitchen!
"Come and see, I made your favorite dishes!"
Gu Mingxia had no idea what Xiao Yan was thinking. She simply wanted to cook for him, so she took his hand and sat down at the dining table.
"See? These are all the dishes you told me you liked before: eggplant with garlic sauce, mushrooms and greens, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Gu Mingxia proudly introduced the dishes on the table to Xiao Yan, her face beaming with a "please praise me" expression. "Oh, and there are two steaks here!"
This was made for him by his Xiaxia! After so many years, she still remembered what he liked to eat. Xiao Yan felt a pang of sadness. His Xiaxia, this was his Xiaxia!
Xiao Yan was deeply moved that his Xia Xia had actually prepared such a feast for him. He knew that Gu Mingxia couldn't cook, and that she must have gone through a lot of trouble to make so many dishes today.
The slight unpleasantness she felt because of Fu Heng's forceful kiss vanished instantly. He took Gu Mingxia's hand, noticed the band-aid on her finger, and the tiny red spots on her hand from the hot oil splatter. He tenderly kissed her hand.
Does it hurt?
"It doesn't hurt anymore, stop talking about this. Hurry up and try it, see if what I made suits your taste!"
Gu Mingxia withdrew her hand, looking at Xiao Yan with a smug expression. She now wanted to know if her cooking suited Xiao Yan's taste. She placed a pair of chopsticks in Xiao Yan's hand, and Xiao Yan's eyes lit up as he lowered his head and moved his lips.
"It's delicious! Everything Xiaxia makes is to my liking!"
"You're just lying to me. How do you know it's delicious and suits your taste before we've even eaten it?"
Seeing that Xiao Yan hadn't even started eating, Gu Mingxia pouted unhappily. Xiao Yan looked at her, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead.
"Hmm, I can't bear to eat it!"
Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at her serious expression, then picked up the rice on the table, added some fish-flavored eggplant, and ate it slowly. He turned his head and met Gu Mingxia's expectant eyes, then nodded.
"It's delicious! I really like Xiaxia's cooking!"
"Really? Is it really delicious?"
Gu Mingxia looked at Xiao Yan happily. Xiao Yan ate the other two dishes and told Gu Mingxia that they were delicious.
Hearing such praise, Gu Mingxia was very happy. She immediately picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the fish-flavored eggplant, and put it in her mouth. As soon as she bit into it, she spat it out and ran to the kitchen to drink a few mouthfuls of boiled water.
"It's so sour, Xiao Yan, you lied to me and it tastes awful!"
"Sour foods are all delicious, I just love sour foods!"
Seeing Gu Mingxia's distressed expression, Xiao Yan picked up another bite and put it in his mouth. Gu Mingxia looked at the other two dishes and nervously ate a bite of each.
"The vegetables have no salt, and the tomatoes are too salty. Xiao Yan, throw them away, they're all awful!"
Gu Mingxia said, lowering her head. She had followed the recipe exactly, so why did it taste so bad?
"It's not bad, I like it! I love anything Xiaxia makes!"
Xiao Yan put down his chopsticks, hugged Gu Mingxia in his arms, and said emotionally.
"Xiao Yan, today... it was Fu Heng who forcibly kissed me! He wanted to pursue me, but I rejected him!"
I'm Tangtang, depressed Tangtang
