It would be a pity if she couldn’t taste it!
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow and his Adam’s apple bobbed. “Mm.”
Qiao Xi happily went upstairs to change while Gu Zheng took out ingredients from the fridge and prepared to cook.
Every day, fresh ingredients would be delivered to Longwan Residential. They were of the best quality and only needed a simple wash.
After preparing the ingredients, Gu Zheng took out his phone and found the recipes.
The dishes that Qiao Xi wanted to eat seemed a little complicated, but with the recipes, it wouldn’t be difficult anymore.
Gu Zheng was full of confidence. He was an all-powerful figure in the business world. He could see through all kinds of schemes and plots. Cooking was even easier for him.
When Qiao Xi walked down the stairs in her nightgown, her eyes instantly lit up.
The dishes on the table were simply too tempting!
“Gu Zheng! You’re amazing!”
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as he concentrated on preparing the last dish.
Qiao Xi leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth. After recovering her taste buds’ ability to taste food, she hurriedly tried a piece of braised pork.
The smile on her face gradually disappeared.
She put down her chopsticks slowly and smiled awkwardly.
She widened her eyes and looked at the plate of braised pork that looked extremely good. She then looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief.
Qiao Xi even felt that Gu Zheng was pulling a prank on her!
She then picked up another piece of meat with trembling hands.
The braised pork with soy sauce that looked so appetizing actually tasted awful!
Qiao Xi hurriedly drank a glass of water to get rid of the strange taste. Then, she heard the man beside her ask slowly, “Mrs. Gu, is my food not good?”
Qiao Xi frowned. “Gu Zheng, your culinary skills…”
“This is my first time cooking for someone. Won’t you go easy on me, Mrs. Gu? If I’m unhappy, I might not allow you to kiss me anymore.”
“…” Qiao Xi was instantly speechless, and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
A threat!
If she insisted on saying that his food was disgusting, with Gu Zheng’s vengeful personality, he would definitely not let her kiss him anymore. Then, she would lose her sense of taste forever!
But this dish…
Qiao Xi was silent for a few seconds, then her face was filled with sincerity. “Delicious! I didn’t expect you to be able to cook so well on your first try! You’re really too awesome!”
Gu Zheng smirked and asked slowly, “Are you telling the truth?”
Qiao Xi didn’t hesitate in the slightest. “Of course, it’s true!”
“Aren’t you hungry?”
Qiao Xi: “…”
This bastard indeed had ill intentions!
Fortunately, Qiao Xi was about to lose her ability to taste again. It didn’t matter what she ate if she couldn’t taste it.
As long as it could make Gu Zheng happy, a few bites of food was no big deal.
“Mrs. Gu.”
After a moment, Gu Zheng suddenly said, “To thank you for your praise, I’ve decided to kiss you.”
He pressed his lips against hers.
It was a gentle touch, as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Xi was still chewing a mouthful of meat when she instantly recovered her sense of taste.
Damn!
Gu Zheng, this bastard!
Qiao Xi forcefully resisted the urge to vomit and forcefully swallowed the mouthful of meat. After that, she started to randomly pick at her food. When it was the right time, she extended her chopsticks to those few dishes.
“Mrs. Gu, I still want to kiss you.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
How could there be a bastard like Gu Zheng in this world?!
Qiao Xi just so happened to be completely under his control and didn’t dare refuse. If she refused even once, then with a man’s vengeful nature, he would surely not allow her to kiss him in the future.
Qiao Xi wanted to cry but had no tears.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Just when she was feeling confused, Shen Ying’s weak voice sounded. “Brother Gu Zheng, it’s me.”
Qiao Xi abruptly raised her head. Shen Ying hadn’t left yet!
It was raining outside. Shen Ying said pitifully while standing in the cold wind and rain, “Brother Gu Zheng, it’s raining. Can you let me come in to seek cover?”
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow and pressed the control button on his phone. The gate slowly opened.
Shen Ying’s dress was drenched. The fabric clung tightly to her body, revealing her perfect figure. One could even vaguely see the color of her undergarments.
Qiao Xi’s mouth opened wide. Gu Zheng let Shen Ying in just like that?
He asked casually, “Miss Shen, you haven’t had dinner, right?”
Shen Ying was overjoyed. “No. Can I stay for dinner?”
Gu Zheng nodded. “I cooked the food myself. Miss Shen, try it.”
Qiao Xi silently turned her face away and laughed until her entire body trembled.
Shen Ying looked at Qiao Xi arrogantly, thinking that she was crying from grief.
Brother Gu Zheng still cared about her! Otherwise, why would he let her stay for dinner?
Dinner was just the beginning. From now on, she wanted to…
Boom!
Shen Ying’s taste buds instantly exploded, and she felt disgusted.
Her face was pale, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. She wanted to spit out the unknown food in her mouth immediately.
