Unfortunately, his hopes were destined to be dashed.
Food ingredients that haven't had any preservatives added simply can't be stored for that long.
As soon as the box was opened, a faint, stale smell of leftover food that had been stored for a long time could be smelled.
Oh no, this is really bad! Will Third Master think it's because of his bad luck?
Gu Qi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shut her mouth, silently praying: Don't blame me! Don't be blaming me! This has nothing to do with me. Please, Buddha, protect me…
Gu Yuheng's expression visibly cracked inch by inch.
After a long while, he raised his head, his eyes fierce, cold, and terrifying.
He stared at Gu Qi and said, almost word by word:
"If she finds out about this, you're dead!"
Gu Qi quickly raised his hand to swear his loyalty: "Third Master, don't worry, I will never tell the young mistress that you let the mooncakes she sent you go bad!"
Gu Qi's words made Gu Yuheng even more heartbroken.
It took him a lot of effort to control himself and prevent him from throwing the thick stack of documents on his desk at Gu Qi's face.
"...Get out!"
"Okay, I'm off right now!" Gu Qi didn't dare to linger for a moment and ran off quickly.
...
After some time, Gu Qi returned to the office and noticed that his Third Master's face was unusually red.
In addition, the box of mooncakes that his third master treasured so much has disappeared.
He wasn't sure if it had been thrown away, but after glancing at the trash can, he didn't see any familiar items inside.
He asked curiously, "Third Master, where's that box of mooncakes? Did you hide it again?"
If we keep storing it like that, isn't Third Master worried that it will get infested with bugs?
If the young mistress found out that the mooncakes she made for the Third Master in her own image had been infested with bugs, she would probably... possibly want to beat the Third Master to death, right?
Their relationship might go back to square one.
However, Gu Yuheng glanced at him solemnly and said very seriously, "Why hide it? Food is for eating, not for collecting!"
Gu Qi: "..."
Then why did you keep the mooncakes that your wife gave you for so long?
wrong!
Gu Qi's eyes widened suddenly: "Third Master, don't tell me you ate that mooncake?!"
Gu Qi's voice was a little sharp at the end, and Gu Yuheng couldn't help but frown when he heard it: "Otherwise what? Can't I eat it?"
Gu Qi opened his mouth but couldn't say a word for a long time.
"It should... be okay," Gu Qi said somewhat uncertainly.
After a moment, he spoke again: "Third Master, were those mooncakes delicious?"
What he really wanted to ask was, "How does a spoiled mooncake taste?" But he felt that if he asked that, his third master would probably strangle him.
Gu Yuheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "Not bad."
Sweet. Just like his little girl, very delicious.
"Oh." Gu Qi nodded with some doubt, then her gaze locked onto the blush that hadn't completely faded from Gu Yuheng's face, and she asked in confusion, "Then why is your face so red, Third Master?"
Could it be that he or she ate something bad?
No, you shouldn't blush if you have an upset stomach. Could it be that the mooncake was so bad that Third Master forced himself to swallow it and turned red?
That's so tragic!
So this is the power of love... It's truly amazing.
He was so moved that... he suddenly didn't want to be in a relationship anymore.
