In order to get rid of the sadness in her heart, Gu Ruochu took the initiative to find a topic to talk about, “brother, what are we having for dinner tonight? ”
Seeing that she was still in the mood to ask him what he was having for dinner, Gu Ruochu stared at her for a long time, “you’ve been in love with him since the beginning of your marriage. It’s normal for you to feel upset. If you want to cry, don’t hide it from me. ”
“I can’t cry. ”
Seeing that she was answering him seriously, Gu Zexi did not know why he was still amused by her.
“Then let’s go back and have dinner. I’ve invited the chef to cook dinner at home tonight. The chef is one of the top three chefs in an Cheng. Eating at home will be more elegant than eating outside. ”
“Alright, I just want to have a good meal today. ”
Gu Ruochu followed Gu Zexi back to the villa. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chu Xinlan, who was already feeling uneasy. She immediately stood up when she saw them.
“Ruo Chu. ”
“Why are you reacting so intensely? ” Gu Ruochu found it funny when she saw her hand stirring. She held her hand and said, “I’m here to eat, I won’t eat you. ”
She had deliberately not mentioned the matter between her and Gu Zexi, leaving Chu Xinlan with a belly full of words. She stared at the man outside the door and remained silent.
“serve the dishes. ”
The housekeeper nodded and the dishes were served in the kitchen. Gu Ruochu did not ask any questions and continued to chat with her as usual. This finally put the tension in Chu Xinlan’s mind at ease.
“Let’s eat. Come to Xinlan. I remember that you like to eat this. ”
Chu Xinlan’s mood lightened as she picked up a lot of food from her bowl. The corners of her lips finally curled into a smile and she began to talk more with Gu Ruochu.
Gu Zexi had not said a word from the start of the meal. His bowl had been filled with plain white rice except for Gu Ruochu who had picked up some food from his bowl.
Chu Xinlan had gotten used to him being there and paying attention to his every move. She was a little absent-minded during the meal. He seemed to have become even more silent than before. She was no longer in his eyes.
However, just as she reached for the last piece of sweet and sour chicken wing with her chopsticks, her chopsticks were caught by another pair of chopsticks as soon as they touched the chicken wing. Her hands stiffened and she lifted her head to look at the silent face.
The atmosphere instantly turned strange. Gu Ruochu could not understand why her brother was so fixated on the last piece of chicken wing. This was not very gentlemanly of him.
“You… like to eat chicken wings? ”
“Yes. ”
Gu Zexi successfully put the piece of chicken wing back into his bowl. His expression did not change much.
However, Chu Xinlan was the one who was distracted. She remembered that he hated to eat this dish because he hated the sweet and sour taste. On the contrary, it was her favorite dish.
“brother, you really don’t have any gentlemanly manners. ”
Gu Ruochu said something to smooth things over as if nothing had happened.
After the meal, Gu Ruochu pulled the person next to her up the stairs. She did not want to care about Gu Zexi’s movements. Chu Xinlan noticed his silhouette from the corner of her eyes and suddenly felt sad for some reason.
A few years ago, she had always held his hand.
By the time she returned to her senses, she was already in her room. She did not know why but she felt a little sad.
Early the next morning, Gu Ruochu had already gone downstairs. Today, she was dressed in formal attire. After dealing with the company’s matters, she realized that she could also be so undistracted until she received a call from Huo Nanchen.
“What’s the matter? ”
Her tone was as calm as ever, but Huo Nanchen could still hear a similar coldness in her voice.
“How could you have forgotten? You promised to treat me to dinner tonight. ”
Gu ruochu paused for a moment before she remembered that she had an appointment with him last night. After a momentary daze, she nodded, “alright, wait for me. ”
