As he said these words, each of his words carried deep resentment. Ye Wanqing felt his scalp go numb, and he pretended to speak in a relaxed manner: "Could it be that Young Master Gu wants me to kill someone?"

"It's not killing, it's an unforgettable pain!"

Gu Jinyuan emphasized that other than Ye Zhensheng, this "he" had no one else.

Ye Wanqing took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and panic in his heart. With a charming smile, he placed his hand on Gu Jinyuan's shoulder and asked, "Young Master Gu, what benefits would you give me if I were to do something?"

Gu Jinyuan took off Ye Wanqing's hand, and his expression became distant again. "You'll naturally know when the time comes."

"Then I …" "Let's wait and see."

Gu Jinyuan replied as she turned around and left for the study. When he had completely walked out, Ye Wanqing's shoulders slumped down.

However, after he calmed down, Ye Wanqing felt very lucky. In order to save the cold weather, she had returned, met Gu Jinyuan again, and even interacted so much with him.

He changed his mind and wanted her to be the blade in his hand so Mu Mu wouldn't be involved in this mess.

He was just a child, and even if he had not been born with the expectations of his parents, he still had the right to enjoy his own life and not be driven by others.

After sitting for a while longer, the burning sensation on his feet became less obvious. Ye Wanqing slowly moved down the stairs to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

She had lost five years in the process of Gu Zhenmu's growth, so it would be one more thing if she could make up for it.

Ever since she had moved in, Uncle Butler had replaced the refrigerator in the single cabinet with a double cabinet. The refrigerator was custom-made and had a large space. It could almost be considered the food area of a small supermarket.

Ye Wanqing found the Guizhou fish inside, then found the oven, and decided to make the grilled fish to eat.

The fish was very fresh, and it was quickly cleaned. Ye Wanqing was afraid that it did not match their taste, hence he made the seasonings of garlic and rattan pepper.

After he finished cooking and saw that it was almost time, Ye Wanqing prepared and started to roast the fish.

The oven was good, even under the heat, and hardly needed to be turned over.

After Ye Wanqing washed his hands, he was knocked into a wall by Ye Chenlin, causing him to stagger a few steps back, his ankle hurting.

Ye Zichen frowned, but didn't try to prevent it hitting the man in the chest.

Gu Jinyuan held onto Ye Wanqing's shoulder, looked at Ye Chenlin with a solemn expression, and gave an order: "Put away your schoolbag, wash your hands, and then eat."

"Okay, Dad."

Gu Zhenmu replied as he carried the ignorant Ye Chenlin up the stairs.

Gu Jinyuan supported her to the dining table and sat down, then turned around to enter the kitchen. Ye Wanqing worriedly wanted to follow her and take a look, but he was stopped by a stare from Gu Jinyuan, so he sat down again.

Gu Zhenmu brought Ye Chenlin down the stage very quickly and sat in front of Ye Wanqing obediently. After waiting for around ten minutes, Gu Jinyuan brought out two fishes with gloves on.

The fish was perfectly fine wrapped in foil, but the captivating fragrance constantly emitted out. Gu Zhenmu's and Ye Chenlin's eyes lit up, and Ye Chenlin even swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in an exaggerated manner.

"Mommy, it smells so good. What did you do?"

"Grilled fish. There are two flavors, garlic and rattan pepper. Take a look and see which one you like best."

Ye Wanqing said as he opened up the foil, revealing the crispy golden fish. Ye Wanqing raised his eyebrows, he did not expect that this man's control over the fire was so good.

After taking the fish out, Gu Jinyuan returned to the kitchen and brought out four bowls of rice with a tray.

"Thank you, Father!"

Gu Zhenmu said loudly as he received the bowl of rice. Although he did not say it directly, the words "overwhelmed by favor" was written all over his face.

Ye Wanqing was a little speechless, how strict was this man usually towards Mu Mu?

Gu Zhenmu tasted both types of fish, and for those who chose to taste the fragrance of garlic in the end, he silently memorized this detail.

He probably ate very little fish, so even though Ye Wanqing said that the fish did not pierce through, he still ate very carefully, and only after eating a few bites did he feel at ease.

Compared to him, Ye Chenlin ate like rain and milk, neither of them dropping down, but after eating two mouthfuls of rattan pepper, he started to perspire, and stick out his pink tongue to take deep breaths.

When he recovered, Ye Chenlin still wanted to eat the rattan and pepper flavored fish, but Ye Wanqing refused to let him eat it.

"Mommy?" Ye Chenlin acted coquettishly, and before she could finish, Gu Jinyuan had already brought the fish that had the smell of rattan and pepper over to her and monopolized it, "This is mine."

"…"

Ye Chenlin felt extremely wronged, he looked at Ye Wanqing with teary eyes: "Mommy, I haven't eaten enough."

"It's too spicy. You can't eat too much today."

Ye Wanqing explained, although his tone was gentle, he did not have any intentions of retreating, other than glaring at Gu Jinyuan, there was nothing else Ye Chenlin could do.

After eating, Gu Jinyuan cleaned up the table a step ahead.

Actually, wiping his feet didn't hurt anymore. Ye Wanqing let Gu Zhenmu and the others go upstairs to take a bath, then he got up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. However, he found that Gu Jinyuan was already done washing.

Could it be that even the head of the Gu family had to learn these life skills?

He could tell that Ye Wanqing did not even know when Gu Jinyuan had finished washing the bowls, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the man was standing in front of him, deep in thought.

Not knowing why, Ye Wanqing panicked a little as his eyes flashed and there was nowhere to place him, finally stopping on the man's thin, cold lips.

The shape of his lips was very beautiful, and they were as angular as his personality. It was unknown if it was because he had taken spicy food, but his lips were unusually red, and even the edge of his lips was suffused with a hint of red.

A funny thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Ye Wanqing subconsciously asked: "Gu Jinyuan, can't you eat spicy food as well?"

"…"

Gu Jinyuan did not refute her, he only went around Ye Wanqing and walked out of the kitchen. Ye Wanqing was startled, she … You guessed right?

If he couldn't eat spicy food, why did he eat all the fish?

Ye Wanqing was confused, but he did not probe further, and stewed some sour plum soup in the kitchen and served it to Gu Jinyuan.

"It shouldn't be that spicy after drinking it."

Hearing that it was spicy, Gu Jinyuan took the cup and drank a mouthful. Then, his eyebrows creased into a frown, as if what Ye Wanqing had given him wasn't sour plum soup, but extremely hard to drink dark food.

It looked like this man didn't like acid.

Ye Wanqing remained silent, and unconsciously noted down this person's preferences as well.

After a while, the spicy taste seemed to have lessened, and Gu Jinyuan finished the rest of the sour plum soup in one breath.

Ye Wanqing could not bear watching this any longer. He took out a piece of candy and passed it to Yue Yang. "Do you want it?"

Gu Jinyuan lowered his head and looked at the candy. His expression was a little absent-minded, as if he had thought of something.

Ye Wanqing waited for a while, his arm was a little sore, but just as he was about to take it back, Gu Jinyuan reached out and took the candy from him, quickly peeling the paper and stuffing it into his mouth.

This was similar to when Ye Chenlin refused to take any medicine.

Ye Wanqing wanted to laugh, but he suddenly asked: "Are you holding onto your account book?"
