C12 Wash Your Hands for Soup

Mu Li entered the kitchen, and before long, the sound of banging metal could be heard.

Gu Tingxiao looked towards the kitchen. From her skilled appearance, it could be seen that she was not the type of person to eat. She would definitely cook for herself on a daily basis.

Their fates were similar in many ways. Before Mu Li's parents' car accident, she was also a young miss who lived like a prince. Now, her own home was occupied by others and there were others who took control of it.

However, when Mu Shaoyun had just returned from a business trip, he had gotten into a car accident at the highway. That place wasn't an accident zone, so she didn't think that someone had done it on purpose.

With this thought in mind, Gu Tingxiao felt that it was necessary for him to send his words to investigate this matter.

Not long after, a sweet smell drifted out of the kitchen, and the food was almost done.

"You like to cook?"

Mu Li turned around and did not know when, but Gu Tingxiao had already appeared at the kitchen door and was looking at her with a smile.

"In the past, when I lived alone, I had nothing to do other than taking care of my mother at the hospital, so I learned to cook good food. Slowly, I learned. Actually, the food I cooked at the beginning was a complete mess."

As Mu Li spoke, he scooped the soup into a small bowl and tasted it himself. Then, he revealed a satisfied smile.

"Madam, this smell is so fragrant. It's not worse than our chef!" The servant was also drawn over to help with the kitchen.

Most importantly, the servants had worked here for so many years, yet they had never seen the Second Young Master smile. Ever since the Second Young Madam had come, the Second Young Master had been able to smile every day.

"Sister Liu, you must be joking. I only managed to make some for myself. Compared to those chefs, I'm still far off."

Mu Li turned around and brought the bowl of soup to Gu Tingxiao. He squatted down in front of Gu Tingxiao and said, "Do you want to try it? It's very tasty."

Mu Li swirled a spoonful of soup and placed it next to Gu Tingxiao's mouth. When Sister Liu saw this, she was immediately alarmed and reminded Mu Li, "Madam, young master is a germaphobe!"

However, before Sister Liu could finish her sentence, Gu Tingxiao had already finished his drink.

When Mu Li heard what Sister Liu said, his expression turned very awkward. "Why didn't you tell me you were a germaphobe? I just used this spoon."

Gu Tingxiao smiled, "You're my wife, do you think I'd turn my back on you?"

"But …"

Before Mu Li could finish his sentence, Gu Tingxiao had already wrapped his arms around his leg. Mu Li was startled, but he didn't dare struggle. "Your leg."

"It doesn't matter."

"Are you sure you don't feel anything?" Mu Li slowly caressed Gu Tingxiao's leg. "Do you feel sad when you can't stand up?"

Seeing Mu Li's worried expression, Gu Tingxiao seemed to be unable to hold back and pressed down on Mu Li's mouth, which was just inches away from him.

Mu Li's eyes widened as he froze in place, not daring to move an inch.

Seeing that she looked like a helpless child, Gu Tingxiao laughed out loud, "Alright, let's eat. I'm hungry."

Mu Li's face flushed red as he looked at the man in front of him and rebuked him, "You, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Even so, Mu Li still remained cautious and did not harm Gu Tingxiao.

Mu Li held onto his heart as his heartbeat became extremely intense. He had no intention of stopping at all.

"Wife, I want some soup." These words once again made Mu Li's face flush red. Mu Li immediately covered his own face with his hands. "You want to drink the soup, then ask Big Sister Liu to serve it to you."

After which, he ran out of the kitchen.

Mu Li went back to his room to rest, but his mind was filled with the scene from earlier. He couldn't calm down at all.

After who knows how long, Mu Li heard that there was no sound from downstairs, so he quietly opened the door and poked his head down from the stairs to the second floor.

"Madam, the young master has already gone to work. The young master has told you to take a good rest. When the young master comes back tonight, he will take you out to eat."

A smile still hung on Sister Liu's face. Originally, the house had been stifling due to Gu Tingxiao's indifference. Unexpectedly, after this woman came, the house was like an iceberg meeting with sunlight, melting bit by bit.

"Did he say when he'd be back?" Mu Li asked.

"This young master didn't say anything, but don't worry, after young master has taken care of his work, he will immediately return home. Young master's daily life is very regular." Sister Liu said.

"Oh, I know." Mu Li didn't return to his room to rest after speaking and instead went to the kitchen to clean things up with Sister Liu.

"Madam, how can I let you do such menial work?" Mrs Liu quickly snatched the plate from Mu Li's hands. If the young master knew about this, he would definitely blame her.

"There's no need to be so careful, Sister Liu. No matter what, I'm still a part of the family. Since we're family, there's no need for us to be so clear about each other. Besides, I did all the work at home."

The family lived together harmoniously. This was the life she wanted. She didn't have the good fortune in the past, but now, perhaps it was her luck to have all these.

Sister Liu looked at Mu Li. This young madam was completely different from those young mistresses who lived like princesses. Not only did they not put on any airs, they even treated these servants as a family.

Previously, she was worried about what kind of woman the Second Young Master had married.

Now it seemed that Mu Li was a good choice. At the very least, his young master's life wouldn't be so cold in the future.
