Chapter 42 Wrongful Convictions



The serious-looking man could speak sweet nothings so eloquently that Su Ying felt as sweet as honey.

I cooked so much food for her; she must be starving.

Picking up her chopsticks, she took a piece of braised pork and placed it to Gu Sinian's lips. "Have a piece to taste first."

Gu Sinian stared intently at her with deep eyes. This was the first time the little girl had ever fed him, and she was even feeding him. He was overjoyed.

As if possessed, he opened his mouth and ate it, chewed a few times and swallowed it down his throat, then licked his lips meaningfully.

"It's delicious. Yingying's is even better."

Su Ying turned her face away shyly, "You're so glib."

The man in her past life, who was always serious and never smiled, could now speak sweet nothings fluently, completely overturning her understanding of what it meant to be a man of many talents.

It hurt her heart even more than that cheesy love talk from Jiang Yibo.

Gu Sinian had finally seen Su Ying looking so shy and charming, which was a rare sight, so he wouldn't let such an opportunity pass by. He turned her face back to him.

"Why are you hiding? I'm not going to do anything to you."

Su Ying didn't believe the man's nonsense. Ever since this taciturn man opened up his meridians, he'd been kissing her everywhere, big and small. Her lips had been kissed so much they were all pouty. How was she going to face anyone when she got back to the educated youth settlement?

Just as she had expected, Gu Sinian's head drew closer and closer, their lips and teeth touching, and the two became entangled.

Su Ying pushed the person away, panting heavily, "Something's burnt."

After a long time, Gu Si realized what was happening and hurriedly ran into the kitchen to turn off the stove, saying, "My sweet and sour pork ribs."

Seeing the man's hurried departure, Su Ying turned around and sat back down in her seat.

That was too dangerous. That man's eyes were filled with lust just now. If it weren't for the sweet and sour pork ribs as a prelude, would Gu Sinian have been able to control himself?

She had just sensed the unusual sensation in Gu Sinian's body. She touched her cheek, too embarrassed to think any further.

If they were alone together for a while longer, Gu Sinian wouldn't wait until their wedding night to touch her again.

Once the man discovers the contraceptive supplies in the space, he probably won't be able to resist taking advantage of her immediately.

Her innocence was soon exposed.

However, she was still quite looking forward to it.

I've heard that kind of thing makes people forget what day it is, I wonder if it's true...

Su Ying, what are you thinking about? Be more reserved, stop thinking about those lewd things, eat first...

Finally, I can enjoy my food in peace and quiet, without having to worry about someone causing trouble.

With a piece of braised pork in her mouth and a bite of rice, the braised pork and rice burst with juice in her mouth, and Su Ying closed her eyes happily.

"Gu Sinian, your braised pork is so delicious, I want to eat two pieces after just one bite."

Just after praising Gu Sinian, the man appeared carrying a plate of cooked sweet and sour pork ribs.

"You like it. I'll make it for you from now on."

"really?"

"Of course, after we get married we'll be a family, and you're my dear wife. Isn't it only natural for a husband to cook for his wife?"

Su Ying smiled and said, "You've learned the rules of Shanghai quite well."

"Of course. Shanghai men are known for spoiling their wives. I'm about to become a son-in-law of Shanghai, so of course I'll do as the Romans do and learn the customs of Shanghai."

"But aren't all men in Beijing supposed to wait on their wives to serve them? I don't know how to do any of that."

That's right. In Beijing, most men advocate that men should be the breadwinners and women should stay at home, and his family is pretty much the same way.

Fortunately, the family is relatively harmonious.

It's just that the second wife, that troublemaker, keeps coming out to disgust people, making him feel a bit nauseous.

The person who was originally called his cousin has taken over the position of the second branch of the Gu family, which is his nominal second uncle.

Thirteen years ago, after his second uncle and aunt deliberately sold him to human traffickers, he became irreconcilably opposed to the second wife's family and couldn't care less about their lives.

Keep acting recklessly, he's just waiting for the second wife to continue her self-destructive behavior; he's waiting for that day to come...

The sudden trouble in the Gu family came without any warning. He had found out quite a lot. The fact that the entire Gu family was convicted and demoted was all thanks to this second uncle.

Unfortunately, we're already in Willow Village, so there's nothing we can do about it. The higher-ups will investigate and clear the Gu family's name.

All he wants now is to live a good life.

"You don't need to know how. If you can't cook, I'll do it. In our family, there's no such thing as the man being the breadwinner and the woman staying at home. Everything revolves around you. In our little family, you're the head of the household, and you're the one who calls the shots."

"You're so kind." Su Ying hugged the man's lean waist tightly.

Is this what normal dating is like?

She had never received such treatment before. That bastard Jiang Yibo had been constantly juggling her and Xu Manli.

She felt no care or favoritism whatsoever, only endless perfunctory treatment. She had indeed never truly loved Jiang Yibo in her past life.

Before death, all that remained was endless resentment.

There was not a shred of love.

She was certain she had never loved Jiang Yibo.

This man is even jealous of her; it's really not worth it.

"Shall we sit down and eat together?"

"But we haven't finished making all the dishes you wanted yet."

"Save it for tonight. Are you stupid? I ordered so many dishes, and you actually cooked so many? Aren't you tired?"

Gu Sinian stroked her soft hair, his face full of tenderness. "I'm not tired. It's just cooking a meal."

Su Ying pulled Gu Sinian to sit down, handed him chopsticks, and then put a lot of food into his bowl.

"You eat too. Your cooking skills are amazing. Who taught you all these culinary skills?"

Gu Sinian paused in his chopsticks. Ever since he made an agreement with Aunt Su, he would fulfill his marriage vows and marry Su Ying and bring her to live in Beijing after she turned twenty.

Fearing she might not be able to adapt to the local climate and wouldn't be used to Beijing cuisine, he would read various books on cooking Shanghainese dishes whenever he had free time, and occasionally practice cooking them during his holidays.
