Chapter 236 Li Chengzhou's Sense of Crisis
"I know you came here because you haven't given up yet, but we don't know when Bo Sinian will come, so you'd better be prepared..."
Li Chengzhou's expression darkened. He hadn't expected that after so long, Bo Sinian still hadn't given up.
"Okay, I understand."
He originally thought he had a lot of free time, so he planned to go to work at the company first and then spend time with Lu Wanxing after get off work.
It seems that I really don't have much time left.
After explaining everything, Li Chengzhou went home, but still went to the supermarket to buy groceries.
Then I went straight home.
Lu Wanxing was still leisurely reading on the balcony upstairs, so she didn't know that downstairs, Li Chengzhou was busy preparing dinner.
They gave the maids a day off early.
Lu Wanxing couldn't help but go downstairs after smelling the delicious aroma.
She thought it was a dessert made by the maid, since it looked very sweet and delicious, and suddenly she felt hungry.
However, it's because I've been strictly controlling my intake of desserts since I got pregnant.
So I don't dare to eat too much.
But at that moment, I was also hungry, so I went downstairs.
But what I didn't expect was that I saw Li Chengzhou wearing a shirt with his sleeves rolled up, busy at work.
She blinked, surprised to find that it really was him.
He immediately stood on the stairs and asked with a smile, "Why are you back?"
Li Chengzhou, who had been engrossed in his work, immediately smiled and looked over at Lu Wanxing when he heard her voice.
"I just came back to see you since I didn't have anything else to do. I was just thinking of making a cake, and it's almost done. I was just about to call you, so you can keep working on it for a bit. It'll be ready soon."
Li Chengzhou remained calm and composed, still as gentle and refined as ever. Especially when he smiled, his warm smile gave people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
"good."
Lu Wanxing's eyes flickered, but in the end she did not refuse.
"I heard from Daiyu that the doctor didn't allow me to eat too many desserts, so I put in less sugar."
Li Chengzhou said as he busied himself in the kitchen.
Lu Wanxing found a seat on the island platform and sat down.
The people inside started getting busy.
"fine."
Seeing a plate of cake brought out, its aroma filling the air, Lu Wanxing looked at this scene and couldn't help but ask curiously, "I don't recall ever hearing that you could cook for yourself before?"
"I figured it out myself. Try it later and see if my cooking is alright."
Li Chengzhou spoke gently, a smile playing on his lips the entire time.
He seemed quite confident in his skills.
Lu Wanxing nodded and watched as the person placed the cake on a plate and pushed it in front of her.
"It's still a little hot, I'll eat it later."
Lu Wanxing nodded.
It's hard to tell what he's thinking at the moment.
"See what you want to eat. I've chased all the maids away, so I'll have to cook dinner myself tonight."
He chuckled softly, his eyes lowered, and no one could discern the expression on his face.
"ah?"
Lu Wanxing stared at him with wide eyes, puzzled.
"You've already chased them all away? Looks like you're planning to show off your skills tonight?"
"Of course, since I'm staying at your house, I have to make a good impression, right?"
He said it as if he were joking.
Lu Wanxing propped her face up with one hand, seemingly deep in thought about what to eat for dinner...
"I want to eat meat. Why don't you see what you can cook?"
Li Chengzhou raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at her with a deep, enigmatic gaze. "So you don't trust my cooking skills anymore?"
Lu Wanxing shrugged, then lowered her head and started eating the cake on her plate.
"Okay, then I'll show off my skills tonight and cook some of my specialties."
After Li Chengzhou finished speaking, he saw that she had already started eating the cake, although he was still confident in his skills.
But at this moment, I couldn't help but ask nervously.
"How is it? Is it alright?"
He looked tense, as if he were awaiting trial.
Especially when Lu Wanxing was tasting it with her eyes slightly closed, and didn't answer me for a long time.
My hands were sweating, and I was a little unsure. It didn't look very appetizing.
When Lu Wanxing opened her eyes, she saw someone looking at her with a tense expression.
She burst out laughing, looking at him with amusement in her eyes, "Why are you so nervous?"
"Don't worry, it's delicious, I really like it."
After Lu Wanxing finished speaking, she smiled again, her eyes crinkling.
Li Chengzhou couldn't help but reach out and gently flick Lu Wanxing's forehead. However, after noticing her stiffness, his eyes dimmed for a moment before he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "You scared me to death. I almost thought it was bad and that you would kick me out."
Seeing the other person's joking tone, Lu Wanxing's expression softened, though her smile faded a little.
Looking at the other person's normal expression, I wondered if I might have really misunderstood.
Thinking this way, she didn't take it to heart.
"No, no, it's not that bad. It's delicious. You should think about what to make for dinner."
Lu Wanxing changed the subject with a smile.
Li Chengzhou, who had turned his back, gave a bitter smile, then said in a forcedly relaxed manner, "Alright, leave this to me."
After saying that, she poured Lu Wanxing a glass of water, saying, "You eat first, I'll go get busy now."
Lu Wanxing gave a soft "hmm" and continued eating with her head down.
Lu Wanxing stayed in the kitchen for a while before leaving.
After all, being in the same space can be a bit awkward.
Moreover, Li Chengzhou seems to be on vacation recently and has nothing to do. She just assumed that he was just looking for something to do because he had nothing else to do, so she didn't think too much about it.
Dinner was indeed prepared entirely by Li Chengzhou.
When Daiyu saw the large table of food, she was slightly surprised.
Lu Wanxing didn't seem to notice anything amiss, and her expression towards Li Chengzhou became quite meaningful.
After noticing her gaze, Li Chengzhou simply touched his nose awkwardly, and neither of them brought it up.
He breathed a sigh of relief when his cooking received unanimous praise.
Seeing Lu Wanxing enjoying her food so much, I couldn't help but smile gently.
The next morning, Li Chengzhou surprisingly didn't go to work.
Lu Chengbo was also eating at home. When he finished eating and was about to go to work, Lu Wanxing saw that Li Chengzhou didn't seem to be going to work yet.
Li Chengzhou then smiled and said, "I'll take a day off."
Since that's what they said, Lu Wanxing had no objections.
Since Lu Wanxing had nothing to do in the morning, Li Chengzhou took her to the supermarket after breakfast.
They ostensibly just visit each other more often, maybe do some grocery shopping, but their interactions are actually quite relaxed.
