Chapter 16 Niannian, call my name.
Gu Yuheng said sternly, "Shut up."
Zhang Mei was startled.
Gu Yuheng glanced at her and said, "What is your status? Why do you need to meddle in my affairs? You made Niannian suffer today, so naturally I have to seek justice for her. Go and clear all the weeds in the yard, and clean the swimming pool while you're at it."
Zhang Mei was overjoyed when she heard this. She thought her husband would kick her out, but he only punished her by making her do chores. For the first time in her life, she ran as fast as she could.
But when she finished cleaning, panting, and returned to the villa, she found all her luggage lying at her feet.
The other two servants in the villa had been dismissed by Gu Yuheng, and they were replaced by servants brought from the old house.
"Young Master doesn't want to see you anymore. Get out of here right now, or you could be sent to jail for framing our young mistress."
Zhang Mei then realized that Gu Yuheng had deliberately made her work under the scorching sun before kicking her out.
She cried and refused to leave, but the burly bodyguard impatiently grabbed her by the collar and threw her out.
In the living room.
In the afternoon, Gao Xiu was called by Gu Yuheng to pick up the documents, while Gu Yuheng stayed at home and did not go to the company.
"It was my oversight that caused you to suffer," Gu Yuheng said, sitting on the sofa.
Su Niannian shook her head haphazardly; her mind wasn't on this. She turned to look at Gu Yuheng and said with some concern.
"Mr. Gu, what if Zhang Mei tells Grandma about us?"
Gu Yuheng has seen it all in the business world. If he can't even handle this little thing, how can he lead a company with tens of thousands of employees?
He said confidently, "She wouldn't dare. She knows what I would do if she said something reckless."
Seeing Gu Yuheng's confident expression, Su Niannian finally felt relieved.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Gu Yuheng say, "Didn't you say you were going to teach me how to cook? There's no time like the present, and we happen to be out of chefs today, so how about we go to the kitchen and give it a try?"
The girl was too nervous, so he needed to find something to distract her.
Su Niannian snapped out of her daze, her large, dark eyes fixed on Gu Yuheng's serious expression. So, it turned out that the uncle really meant it when he said he wanted to learn how to cook.
"good."
Gu Yuheng was dressed in crisp black trousers, paired with a pristine white shirt. The top two buttons of his shirt were slightly undone, revealing his well-defined collarbones and the bulging muscles of his chest.
Even the smoky atmosphere of the kitchen couldn't hide his refined and noble air.
Su Niannian took out the ingredients for tonight from the refrigerator and saw Gu Yuheng standing in the middle of the kitchen with his hands in his pockets, just like their school principal inspecting the cafeteria. The corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Mr. Gu, how about we have steamed sea bass, stir-fried mushrooms, and a pork rib and corn soup tonight?"
If it's just the two of them eating, this is just the right amount for two people. Su Niannian has already gotten a general idea of Gu Yuheng's appetite over the past few days.
Gu Yuheng had no objections; he never had any particular requirements when it came to food.
"Can."
With her employer's permission, Su Niannian took the vegetables to the basin and began washing them. Although she was supposed to be teaching Gu Yuheng how to cook, she dared not order him around unless she was out of her mind.
The usually quiet kitchen, perhaps because of Su Niannian's presence, has become somewhat like home.
Su Niannian placed the washed vegetables on the cutting board, and Gu Yuheng said, "Let me help you."
Su Niannian lowered her head, peeling garlic, and said, "Okay...ah..."
As she spoke, she unconsciously looked up and her eyes widened instantly, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
Gu Yuheng actually took her floral apron and casually put it on Ke, making Su Niannian almost throw the garlic cloves in her hand at his face.
"Uncle, you..."
Is there really such a hobby?!
Gu Yuheng remained calm as he looked down at the apron he was wearing. It was the first time he had ever seen this apron before; he had never seen it in the villa, not even when the servants cooked.
Did you sew it yourself?
Su Niannian opened her mouth, and after a long while, she found her voice from her surprise: "Yes."
Gu Yuheng nodded affirmatively: "That's good, it saves us from getting our clothes dirty while cooking."
Since the person involved had said so, and was unusually calm, Su Niannian pursed her lips. What else could she say?
But while cooking, she kept glancing at Gu Yuheng beside her out of the corner of her eye.
The kitchen light shone on his handsome face. Gu Yuheng was wearing a shirt and trousers, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His legs were as long as Su Niannian's life, as if he had stepped out of a movie screen.
But at this moment, he was wearing a pink apron, and his skin and shirt were very white, which made him look much softer, creating a strange sense of contrast.
A word popped into Su Niannian's mind.
"Househusband".
Gu Yuheng rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong and slender forearms, and was stirring the mushrooms according to the method Su Niannian had taught him.
Looking up, I saw Su Niannian mechanically stirring the corn and pork rib soup with a spoon, but her mind was already wandering.
"what's on your mind?"
"I think you look like a stay-at-home dad in that apron, sir..."
Su Niannian snapped back to reality. How could she have blurted out her true feelings? She raised her hand to cover her mouth and looked pitifully at the man in front of her.
Under the lamplight, the little girl's eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of stars, sparkling and incredibly beautiful. Her delicate nose was slightly wrinkled, and her fair fingers covered her bright red lips, making her look utterly innocent.
Gu Yuheng put down the shovel in his hand, extinguished the fire in the stove, and took a step closer.
His arm reached over her body and rested on the cold cabinet, making it look from a distance as if he were holding Su Niannian in his arms.
Su Niannian dared not breathe, looking at the handsome face so close to hers, and asked softly, "What... are you going to do?"
The older man probably doesn't want to eat stir-fry for dinner, but rather eat her instead.
She certainly didn't want to become dinner...
Their breaths touched, their eyes met.
Gu Yuheng lowered his eyes, his gaze turbulent, yet his breathing was perfectly controlled.
He spoke slowly and softly, "Shouldn't you change how you address me?"
Su Niannian, like a little rabbit caught in a hunter's trap, looked at him with trepidation: "What's it called?"
You can't exactly call him "boss."
Gu Yuheng pondered for a moment: "From now on, we'll call each other by our first names. I'll call you Nian Nian, and you can call me Yuheng."
Yu... Heng
Su Niannian pondered the two words in her heart, finding them very beautiful and meaningful, but she still felt a little uncomfortable calling him by his name directly.
"Niannian, call my name."
