Gu Jinchen felt that his stomach was better under the effect of the medicine. He stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Perhaps he shouldn't have trusted this woman.
After looking at the messy kitchen, Gu Jinchen came to this conclusion.
"What are you doing?"
Pei Qinghuan put down the dirty bowl with some embarrassment: "I followed the tutorial, maybe something went wrong."
Gu Jinchen sighed, walked around behind her, took off his apron and tied it around himself.
Pei Qinghuan only felt a faint scent from Mr. Gu passing by behind him.
She wiped the sweat off her face inexplicably and said, "Mr. Gu, you are sick and can't work. I will become proficient after doing it a few more times."
Gu Jinchen raised his eyebrows: "It's already twelve o'clock. Are you going to do it a few more times until dawn?"
Pei Qinghuan's ears blushed slightly: "I just want to redress my cooking skills. I'm not a kitchen killer."
However, she saw deep disbelief in Mr. Gu's eyes.
Pei Qinghuan changed the subject: "Mr. Gu, why didn't you eat much tonight? Is this how you got your stomach problems?"
Gu Jinchen replied: "I never had time when I was busy before. I was young then. Later, I developed stomach problems and I dared not skip meals anymore."
Pei Qinghuan became even more curious: "Are you very busy tonight? That's why you didn't eat much?"
Gu Jinchen suddenly remembered the scene where Pei Qinghuan and Tu Ran were eating face to face, and his heart suddenly felt like it was being pressed down by a huge stone.
Looking at Pei Qinghuan's curious eyes, he was helpless. He couldn't tell this woman that he didn't want to eat because he suspected she was in love with someone else.
Gu Jinchen gently pushed her out of the kitchen: "Let me do it. I've had stomach problems before, so I know how to make some stomach-nourishing soups."
Pei Qinghuan didn't want to go out. She stood nervously at the door, watching his still pale face. "Then I'll help you out."
Gu Jinchen didn't refuse and started to get busy. Soon, a sweet aroma came from the pot.
Pei Qinghuan's gaze gradually shifted from Gu Jinchen to the pot.
"Mr. Gu, your cooking skills are really good!"
Gu Jinchen didn't reply, and the next second, he heard Pei Qinghuan's stomach growling.
He raised his eyebrows, seeming to be teasing.
Pei Qinghuan said awkwardly, "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. My stomach is just growling. Mr. Gu, just drink it yourself."
Gu Jinchen silently scooped a bowl and said, "Drink it. I cooked too much."
"You've been eating lately, so have a drink."
Afraid that Pei Qinghuan would refuse, he added another sentence.
Pei Qinghuan had no choice but to take it and said embarrassedly, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
She leaned in and smelled it; it smelled wonderful.
He indeed didn't eat much at night, but it wasn't enough to cause Mr. Gu to have stomach problems.
She took a spoon and tasted it, her eyes widening in amazement: "It's so soft and sticky, Mr. Gu, you are amazing."
Gu Jinchen looked at her rounded cheeks and smiled, "Yeah."
In the end, he, a patient, had to take care of himself and feed this woman.
Gu Jinchen shook his head secretly.
After the meal, Pei Qinghuan volunteered to wash the dishes.
"Mr. Gu, you should have a good rest. It's almost one o'clock. It will be bad if you can't get up tomorrow."
Gu Jinchen nodded. He was indeed feeling sleepy after eating.
He returned to his room and lay on the bed. The sound of dishes being washed came from the kitchen, which sounded a bit like hypnotic white noise. At this time, the side effects of the medicine also took effect, and he fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Gu Jinchen remembered that he had not yet asked Pei Qinghuan what the relationship between her and the boy was. When he went out with a gloomy face, Pei Qinghuan had already left.
The assistant had already answered the call. Looking at Mr. Gu's dark complexion, he cautiously asked, "Mr. Gu, do you want to take a break and have a vacation?"
Gu Jinchen had already gotten into the car: "No need, drive to the company."
The assistant had no choice but to drive obediently.
When Pei Qing happily arrived at the store, she took out her bag and found an unfamiliar document mixed in. She took a look and wondered if it belonged to Mr. Gu.
She quickly called Gu Jinchen, but no one answered.
At this time, Pei Anan called: "Sister, where are you? Why aren't you in the store yet? Is there something that delayed you?"
Pei Qinghuan was a little panicked: "Gu, no, your brother-in-law's documents seem to have been mixed into my bag. I'm worried if it's something important, but he didn't answer my phone call. I might have to send it to him. I'll go to the store later. You guys go ahead and get busy first."
Pei Anan nodded quickly: "Okay, then go quickly, don't delay."
Pei Qinghuan hung up the phone and then remembered that she didn't know Mr. Gu's work address, so how could she send it to him?
Fortunately, Mr. Gu didn't seem to be awake when she left the house, so she should still have time to go back.
Pei Qinghuan made a prompt decision and called a taxi to go back.
When she was almost at the door, Gu Jinchen just left in his assistant's car. She quickly shouted to the taxi driver, "Follow the car in front."
The driver was a middle-aged man. He seemed to be imagining some kind of drama, and his tone became excited: "No problem! Miss, is that your husband? Do you want to follow him?"
Pei Qinghuan wanted to say yes and no, but what the driver said was correct, so he had to nod.
The driver's eyes suddenly blazed with anger: "Don't worry! I've been driving for decades, so what's wrong with catching up with the next car?"
