Zuo Si carried the things into the room and put them down. When she turned around, she saw Xu Weilai still standing at the door. She even turned the tables and acted like the host by saying to her, “Miss neighbor, come in. What are you standing there for?”
“…”
In the end, Xu Weilai still walked in and closed the door.
Zuo Si didn’t look like a person who knew how to cook. As expected, the first thing she said was, “I don’t know how to cook, so I can’t help. But I’ll help you carry the things to the kitchen.”
After saying that, she didn’t have any more responsibilities and started strolling around the house.
Xu Weilai naturally didn’t expect her to do anything. When she saw her standing in front of the calligraphy painting and looking at it with interest, she couldn’t be bothered to respond.
She went to the guest room to change into her lounge clothes before walking into the kitchen and starting to cook.
Zuo Si admired the calligraphy painting on the wall until she saw the small characters on the bottom right side. Her gaze gradually turned cold. She retracted her gaze and looked at the bedroom, study, and the guest room where Xu Weilai was currently staying.
She leaned against the door of the guest room and looked inside twice. Her eyes were filled with a meaningful smile.
Xu Weilai simply cooked three dishes and made some rice porridge. She was quick and finished them in half an hour. She carried them out and placed it on the dining table.
Zuo Si was sitting on the sofa at the moment. She was on the phone was ordering in a domineering tone that the other party either meet her requirements or pack up and leave.
At this moment, Xu Weilai looked at her back, which appeared eerily similar to Gu Yu’s back figure.
It was as if they were the same person…
Could she be the wife that Gu Yu needed?
She was still in a daze when Zuo Si, who smelled the aroma, ended the call. She immediately stood up and walked over. She looked at the simple home-cooked food. Xu Weilai couldn’t tell if Zuo Si was happy or unhappy, but more than that, she looked surprised.
Xu Weilai didn’t know if it was because she didn’t prepare a feast for her, or because she had never seen such simple dishes before.
However, she didn’t say anything. She pulled out a chair and sat down. She said to Xu Weilai, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Xu Weilai couldn’t be bothered with her anymore. She just wanted to finish this meal as soon as possible and send her away. She just wanted to stop interacting with her.
She took off her apron and put it aside. She pulled out a chair, sat down, and started eating.
The food obviously didn’t suit Miss Zuo’s taste, but probably due to her sophisticated upbringing, she didn’t show any expression of disdain. She only ate a little of each dish as a token of support.
“I’m full.”
She put down her chopsticks and looked at Xu Weilai. She smiled and said, “Courtesy demands reciprocity. You treated me to a meal, so I’ll give you a gift in return. Wait for me.”
With that said, she stood up and walked towards the door.
Xu Weilai heard the sound of the door opening, and she heard the sound of her walking back to her room. The door opened again, and her footsteps were hurried. In less than a minute, she returned with a bottle of red wine in her hand.
She placed the red wine on the dining table and pushed it in front of Xu Weilai. She curled her lips and said, “I just returned to China, and this is a good wine that someone gave me. There’s a supply shortage of it on the market now, but I’ll use someone else’s gift to treat you. It’s very sweet.”
Zuo Si didn’t stay long. After she finished speaking, she waved at her. “Miss neighbor, I’m going back. Goodnight and sweet dreams.”
Xu Weilai didn’t pay attention to her as she left. Her gaze stopped on the bottle of red wine. She was very familiar with this bottle of wine. Gu Yu’s wine cabinet was filled with them…
