When Wu Wenwang saw the two of them come out, he immediately went to greet them.
“Rongqi, Aunt Li is making lunch, this…” Wu Wenwang paused, he didn’t know Rongqi’s girlfriend’s name yet.
Cheng Qicai immediately said her name, "Cheng Qicai, Uncle Wu, you can just call me Qicai."
"Okay, Seven Colors, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Cheng Qicai shook her head, "No, I don't have any dietary restrictions."
Wu Wenwang went to the kitchen again to give a few more instructions.
Seeing Gu Rongqi about to go into the room, Cheng Qicai stopped him, "Why don't you go in later?"
The sooner Gu Rongqi goes in, the sooner he will suffer.
"It's alright," Gu Rongqi thought for a moment, "Why don't you just stay outside?"
Cheng Qicai hesitated for a moment. She wondered if Gu Lubo would find Gu Rongqi even more displeasing if she stayed inside.
Thinking of this possibility, she solemnly patted Gu Rongqi on the shoulder, "Then, Warrior Gu, we're counting on you."
Gu Rongqi chuckled softly, took her soft hand in his, and replied in the tone of a knight appointed by the king, "Alright, wait for me."
Cheng Qicai's heart stirred at his serious demeanor.
She looked around and, seeing no one, quickly raised her head and kissed Gu Rongqi on the cheek.
The softness vanished in an instant, and Gu Rongqi raised his hand to touch the skin that Cheng Qicai had kissed with his fingertips.
It's a little hot.
"When you're angry, just bear with it and remember that he's your own father."
Gu Rongqi smiled, his expression softening further. "I'll go in first. Call me if you need anything."
Cheng Qicai nodded.
When Gu Lubo heard the door open, his gaze fell on the doorway while watching TV. After seeing that Gu Rongqi was alone, he turned his head back to the TV.
After waiting for a while, Gu Lubo looked at Gu Rongqi and asked, "Did she go back?"
Gu Rongqi was looking at the messages on his phone and casually replied, "No, I told her to stay outside."
"Outside?"
"Yes, she's more comfortable outside, she can do whatever she wants."
Grubber was silent for a moment, then his brows furrowed. "You plan to live like this for the rest of your life?"
“This kind of life is pretty good. I have enough money to live on for the rest of my life, and I don’t have anything to worry about.”
Gu Rongqi was not a materialistic person. His previous work at Ouqi was just a route planned for him by Gu Lubo and others.
If you ask him if he likes this route, he will shake his head; if you ask him if he doesn't like it, he will also shake his head.
It's like someone giving you something you neither like nor hate; you're indifferent to it, but you know that accepting it will make the other person happy.
Therefore, this act of acceptance is selfish, so Gu Rongqi's entry into Ouqi was only to reduce the trouble of his quarrel with Gu Lubo.
Similarly, this thing is still dispensable to him now, and he doesn't care if the person who gave it to him wants to take it back.
"..." Gu Lubo was furious at his current idleness and lack of ambition.
I've said everything, good and bad.
The two spent some time together peacefully, then Wu Wenwang knocked on the door, "Gudong, the food is ready."
"Okay." His gaze fell on Gu Rongqi.
Gu Rongqi took the initiative to help him sit up, and then lifted the table on his bed so that the nanny could put the food on it.
"Rongqi, your food..."
Gu Rongqi lifted his foot and walked out, saying, "I'm going out to eat."
"Can't you even have a meal with me?" Gu Lubo put down his chopsticks and looked at him sternly.
Gu Rongqi turned around and readily said, "Uncle Wu, could you please bring in my meal?"
Wu Wenwang looked between the two men and said, "Okay."
When Wu Wenwang brought the food back, Gu Rongqi saw Cheng Qicai also come in with a bowl.
She sat next to Gu Rongqi.
Gu Rongqi asked her, "Why did you come here?"
"I'm coming over to have dinner with you!" Cheng Qicai mouthed.
She then pointed to the dishes on the plate, "I just tasted some of this lotus leaf chicken in the kitchen, and Aunt Li's cooking is so delicious!"
"You like it?" Gu Rongqi looked into her bright eyes. "I'll ask Aunt Li how she made it later."
"Hehe, I've already learned how to make it. I'll make it for you when I get back and see if it tastes right."
Gu Rongqi smiled and said, "Okay..."
Seeing the two of them shoulder to shoulder, Gu Lubo's expression was as dark as a headmaster who had caught students dating.
He looked at the golden-brown lotus leaf chicken on the plate in front of him and said, "Rongqi, your mom said you're a pretty good cook?"
Gu Rongqi put down his chopsticks and replied, "It's okay, Dad. If you want to eat it, I can make it for you tonight."
"Alright, since you're so keen, I'll give it a try."
That's all I'll say.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qicai winked at Gu Rongqi.
She had a feeling that her father was "competing for her affections." Whenever the two of them talked for a while, he would interrupt them, doing it on purpose in a very obvious way.
Gu Rongqi smiled at her.
The two understood each other without saying a word. With her back to Gu Lubo, Cheng Qicai could openly make expressions at Gu Rongqi.
Strange expressions.
As Gu Lubo ate his meal, he found Gu Rongqi's continuous smiles inexplicably irritating.
He slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang".
Gu Rongqi and Cheng Qicai turned around at the same time and saw Xiang He.
Gu Lubo coldly said to Wu Wenwang, who was standing next to him, "Wenwang, help me put away the food."
Seeing that he looked unwell, Cheng Qicai immediately finished her rice and took the bowl outside.
As she was leaving, she grinned and mouthed, "Good luck, I'm off now."
