Chapter 382 Scenes in the Dream
Shen Jiheng was delighted to hear that he didn't have to do it himself, and expressed great interest.
“It’s no problem to help out. Actually, after you left, I often think about the delicious food you used to cook for me.”
Back when Han Xi lived in the Shen family, she would always try to please Shen Jiheng by cooking different dishes every day, but he never paid any attention to her.
When he truly began to miss her, he realized that Han Xi was no longer by his side.
He often fantasized that one day Han Xi would come back and he could see her busy in the kitchen again.
But he didn't want Han Xi to do these things again after she came back; he wanted to cherish her and hold her in the palm of his hand.
Han Xi sensed the regret in his voice and smiled gently, "I can tell you miss those days."
Shen Jiheng hugged her from behind, buried his head in her neck, and smelled her familiar scent, feeling as if he had been rescued.
"You're right, I miss you all the time, I even dream about you coming back. Han Xi, please never leave me again."
Han Xi patted his hand: "As long as you don't mess around, I'll stay with you for the rest of my life."
Shen Jiheng tightened his arms and made a firm promise: "I will never make you sad again. I even imagined cooking with you. I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
As he spoke, his hands began to wander, his sexy thin lips kissing and blowing on Han Xi's neck, showing no sign of cooking at all.
If he continues like this, we can forget about cooking this meal.
Seeing that he showed no sign of stopping, Han Xi had no choice but to pull his hand away and had to remind him of the facts again.
“It’s great that you have this idea. We’re working towards your dream now, but there are still several people waiting for breakfast. We need to hurry up and get ready, or it will be too late.”
Shen Jiheng calmed down after hearing this, and when Han Xi took out the ingredients, he took the initiative to help wash them.
The kitchen had a wonderful atmosphere, a scene that had appeared in Shen Jiheng's dreams.
Hearing the sounds coming from the kitchen, Gu Beichen yawned and walked to the door. He saw Shen Jiheng washing vegetables and stared in surprise, seriously doubting that he was dreaming.
He slapped his face hard and rubbed his eyes, but when he opened them, he still saw Shen Jiheng washing vegetables.
"Han Xi, tell me quickly, I didn't see wrong, Shen Jiheng is actually cooking for you."
Shen Jiheng turned around and gave him a meaningful look, then said confidently, "There is nothing in this world that can stump me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the egg in his hand, which had just cracked, fell off the edge of the bowl, making Gu Beichen laugh out loud at the comical sight.
Shen Jiheng gave him a look and said unhappily, "It was my mistake."
Seeing Gu Beichen's smug look, Han Xi said, "Brother, don't discourage him. It's rare for him to take the initiative to do these things. I'm already very touched. Don't make trouble."
Gu Beichen raised his hands in apology: "It was my fault. I shouldn't have laughed at him. I just thought it was very strange. If this scene had been filmed, it would definitely have become today's headline."
As Gu Beichen was still seriously thinking of a title, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he said, "The richest man in Chongqing cooks for love. This title will definitely move countless young women."
Han Xi was both amused and exasperated, and replied, "Now I finally know what a bad friend is. Bro, don't you have anything better to do? Then come and help me out."
Gu Beichen waved his hand and shook his head: "I'm a complete kitchen idiot. I almost burned the kitchen down the last time I tried to cook it. My grandma put me under house arrest and forbade me from touching anything in here."
Shen Jiheng suggested, "We still need to hire someone. It's okay for us to do this occasionally, but we can't keep doing it like this in the future."
Gu Beichen excitedly agreed: "Ji Heng, you really understand me. That's what I meant too. Now I have to do chores and clean the house every day. I've never been so tired in my life."
Gu Beichen is a well-known prince of Chongqing, and of course, his laziness is also widely known.
Now, things are really messed up. He has to do everything himself, even cook for himself, which makes him question the meaning of life.
The worst part is that it tastes awful; everyone only gets to enjoy it when Han Xi is home.
After all, people from wealthy and powerful families are used to doing all sorts of household chores, so they wouldn't do these things.
Han Xi still looked anxious, mainly worried about safety.
"Have you discussed this with your grandmother?"
Gu Beichen said helplessly, "The old man is cautious. Ever since what happened last time, he seems to be traumatized and is unwilling to hire anyone."
At this point, Gu Beichen silently cursed Bo Siye a thousand times in his heart. It was all that damned bastard's fault that the family had become like this.
If he hadn't secretly bribed the Gu family's servants to do things for him, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
The two elderly people were frightened, and even Zhuo Qingqian was traumatized by the incident, so when he suggested finding a new maid, the elderly people were the first to object.
As for Zhuo Qingqian, she maintained a neutral attitude, mainly because such a large family, with a backyard to manage, was indeed beyond the capabilities of the average person.
Han Xi nodded and said, "I understand the current situation. I will talk to my grandmother and the others later, and then choose someone I can trust."
Gu Beichen was so excited that he wanted to hug her, but Shen Jiheng waved his hand to stop him. Even though they were siblings, he didn't want to see them hug.
Gu Beichen rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're really stingy. I'm just a little excited and want to hug my little sister. As long as she asks, Grandma and the others will definitely listen."
I don’t know when it started, but the Gu family elders basically listen to Han Xi’s advice.
Of course, it's also because Gu Beichen, their grandson, is deeply ingrained in their minds as a carefree and irresponsible person, and his words lack credibility.
Han Xi is cautious and careful in his actions, always considering the causes and consequences before putting his family at ease.
She mainly considered that there were many people in the family, and the elderly and children needed careful care. Everything was normal when she was at home, but when she was busy, Zhuo Qingqian took over.
Now that Zhuo Qingqian is pregnant and unable to exert herself, she can't leave the task of taking care of her to the elderly.
“Even if you don’t bring it up, I’m planning to talk to them about this.”
Gu Beichen gave her a thumbs up and said happily, "This is what they call brother and sister working together. I have high hopes for you."
Han Xi nodded, both amused and exasperated: "Okay, wait for my news."
Gu Beichen made a thumbs-up gesture and left happily. Sure enough, with Han Xi around, everything was easy to solve.
Han Xi turned to look at him and asked, "Have any arrangements been made at the old house? Aunt Wang called me a couple of days ago to ask about the situation."
Shen Jiheng replied simply, "With my mother around, there's naturally no problem."
Madam Shen is shrewd and capable, and Han Chuang isn't there, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to take care of the old lady by herself.
"If that's the case, then we should investigate their backgrounds more thoroughly, and then ask them if they are willing to come to Gujia. It would be more reassuring to know them well."
Shen Jiheng understood her intentions, but also had other concerns.
"This is also a good solution. I'll have Qin Chuan investigate further to make sure there are no problems."
No one can guarantee something; only repeated investigations and confirmations can put our minds at ease.
