Chapter 581 No more obstacles? The kitchen exhaust fan hummed as Gu Luo held a spatula and stir-fried tomatoes and eggs. The bright red tomato sauce coated the golden egg liquid, and a sweet and sour aroma wafted out with a sizzling sound.
He had just poured the braised pork into the casserole to simmer when the doorbell rang in the entryway.
Gu Luo turned off the stove almost immediately, took off the apron with a bear pattern from her waist, casually draped it over the kitchen doorknob, and quickly went out to greet them.
Luo Shuning had just changed her shoes, and her off-white dress was slightly damp with the evening breeze.
Gu Ximan teased from the side, "Ha, the old man rushed out of the kitchen as soon as he saw Sister Ning."
Hearing this, Gu Luo's serious attitude of putting her first made Luo Shuning feel sweet inside, and her eyebrows curved into crescent moons: "Xiao Bao, I'll cook with you."
"Hey! Sister Ning, watch TV with me first!" Gu Ximan grabbed Luo Shuning's arm and pulled her towards the sofa: "Let that stinky old man do his own thing."
“Yes, Da Bao, you should rest first.” Gu Luo chimed in, giving Gu Ximan a wink. “The food is all in the pot, I’ll call you when it’s ready.”
After saying that, he turned and went back to the kitchen.
Gu Ximan rolled her eyes almost imperceptibly at his retreating figure, then put on a sweet, cloying expression, took Luo Shuning's arm, sat down on the sofa, and stuffed a soft strawberry bear plush pillow into her lap: "Sister Ning, I missed you so much~"
Luo Shuning gently stroked her cool tea-brown hair, smiling tenderly: "I miss Xiaoman too."
She paused, her tone suddenly hesitant, "Ahem... Xiaoman, about what you just told me on the phone..."
At this point, Luo Shuning's face flushed slightly, even the tips of her ears turned pink: "I think... is it a little inappropriate? Mainly, I'm a little embarrassed, after all..."
It was too awkward, especially since he was with Gu Ximan.
Seeing this, Gu Ximan was secretly delighted: There's hope!
She had been hesitant about whether to bring up Shen Qingling first, but seeing Luo Shuning's reaction, she instantly forgot about the "important matter," snuggled closer to Luo Shuning, and said in a soft voice like cotton candy, "But I just want to be with Sister Ning~ Okay? We can just turn off the lights the whole time, then we won't be shy if we can't see anything."
She tugged at Luo Shuning's arm affectionately, her eyes wide and full of anticipation.
Looking at her like this, Luo Shuning's hesitation gradually eased - firstly, she couldn't resist her coquettishness, and secondly, thinking about her mother-in-law's matter, she really should give her some "rewards" to help ease the tension between the two.
She pursed her lips, gently pinched Gu Ximan's cheek, and finally nodded: "Alright then, but just this once."
"Great!" Gu Ximan jumped up instantly, hugged Luo Shuning's neck and kissed him: "Today, that stinky old man must pay the price!"
But her happiness lasted only a couple of seconds before she suddenly wilted again. She grabbed Luo Shuning's hand and shook it, her tone becoming cautious, "Sister Ning, you've already promised, you can't go back on your word... By the way, my old brother has something to tell you later, it's about... the elders, Sister Ning, you should be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shuning's expression suddenly became somewhat strange, and she tentatively asked, "Xiaoman, you found out too? I was hoping to talk to you in person..."
"Oh? Sister Ning, you found out too?"
Gu Ximan was slightly taken aback, but then became happy again.
Does that mean there will be no obstacles tonight?
