Xin Nianyin was so obedient that it was beyond reproach. Gu Jianming had doubts in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking Mrs Xu quietly.
So in the end, women understand women the best, Xu Ma slightly points out, Gu Wei instantly enlightened.
On this night, Gu Qi showed unprecedented gentleness, even humming a small tune to coax Xin Nianyin to sleep.
Although she was not used to his transformation, she still enjoyed his embrace and his gentleness. Finally, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Gu Qi looked at Xin Nianyin's docile sleeping face and pursed her lips into a smile. Sometimes, she really did look like a little kid, needing to be accompanied and coaxed by others.
The next morning, when Xin Nianyin was awakened by the sun shining into her room, she was long gone.
Xin Nianyin's heart sank, but then she realized that it was already the end of the year. There must be a lot of things for him to do at the company.
Thinking like this, Xin Xuanyin felt much better. She had just gotten out of bed and washed up when Mrs Xu came knocking on the door with a breakfast of love.
Xin Nianyin looked at the specially-decorated and exquisite patterns on the dishes and couldn't help praising, "Mrs Xu, your cooking skills are getting better and better. I'm so hungry from watching."
"How could that be? Young madam, you're too kind, I didn't cook this for you, I don't dare to claim credit for it, this is what the young master did for the young madam. Mrs Xu has never seen the young master cook for anyone before."
Mrs Xu happily glanced at Xin Xinyin before quietly retreating.
Not to mention Mrs Xu, even she, as a wife, did not know that the person beside her bed actually had such a trick up her sleeve.
In the next second, Xin Nianyin took a piece of shredded blueberry jam and put it into her mouth. The taste wasn't too bad, neither too strong nor too light, just to her taste.
If he could have a breakfast like this every morning, he would be so happy. When his mother was still alive, she had told her a story.
'In this world, ever since humans were born, things like spoonfuls of soup were given to women. It was as if the kitchen was where women were born to be.'
'If one day, in this world where things are going wild, a man is willing to wash his hands and make you soup, he must love you.'
Unfortunately, her mother had been waiting all her life for a man who could wash his hands and make her a broth.
And she was so much happier than her mother, or at least she was sincere to him, that he must have got up early to make breakfast before he went to work, and she had no idea when he got up.
When Xin Nianyin was almost done eating, Gu Bo suddenly pushed open the door with some red paper in his arms. Xin Nianyin looked at him suspiciously. Wasn't he supposed to be at the company at this time?
"What? Aren't you supposed to be at the company? Why are you still at home?"
Gu Qi answered with a question, "Don't you want to see me at home?"
Xin Nianyin was stunned and quickly shook her head. "Of course not. I think the company will be very busy by the end of the year."
Moreover, the Gu family had just bought a few real estate companies and everyone was extremely busy, not to mention that he was the Gu family's CEO.
But looking at his handsome face, it was as if the company had nothing to do with him, and looking at his appearance, it was obvious that she was worrying for nothing.
Xin Nianyin stood up and picked up the messy plate. She was afraid that if she continued, she would make him unhappy, so she went to the kitchen to deliver the plate.
As he passed by Gu Bo Ji, he said lightly, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Gu Qi stared at her unblinkingly, trying to find any trace of her rosy cheeks. She didn't know which one of her tendons was twitching to make breakfast for her, but she didn't even say a word.
He had never cooked for anyone before, and now he was trying to please a woman, but she was unresponsive.
Xin Nianyin looked at the plate in her hands and finally understood the meaning behind his eyes.
"Breakfast is very delicious, it's the most delicious breakfast I've ever eaten. Mrs Xu said you made it, but it turns out you can cook, and your cooking skills are actually so good."
Xin Nianyin was 6 points courteous and 4 points sincere. It wasn't difficult to praise him, as she was afraid that he would be proud.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Gu Mai's expression of displeasure relaxed. He held the red paper in one hand and Xin Nianyin's wrist in the other, "Come here."
"Eh, wait for me to take the plate down."
Gu Qi did not let go, pulling her towards the desk, "Leave it there, mother Xu will collect it in a while."
Xin Nianyin had no choice but to put it aside and watch him carefully spread out the red paper on the desk. "Have a look. How's my Spring Festival couplet?"
There was a hint of childish pride in his tone.
What? Was she hearing things? He said he wrote these couplets?
Xin Nianyin had deep feelings for the couplet. The only picture she could remember of her parents being happy with her was her writing of the couplet.
At that time, she was still very young. Every new year, she would write the Spring Festival Couplet with her father.
No matter how ugly her writing was, her mother would be satisfied and hang them at the most eye-catching part of the door. Her mother said that in her eyes, the couplet was the most precious thing in the world.
At that time, the young her didn't know what was precious. Only now did she understand what her mother had said back then. It really was the most precious thing in the world.
The past replayed again and again in Xin Nianyin's mind like a movie. Suddenly, her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.
"Xin Xinyin, to be honest, are you sure this couplet is okay?"
Gu Qi was like a child, triumphantly wanting to praise him, his calligraphy was taught to him by his grandfather in the sickbed when he was young.
After so many years, Gu Jianming was still able to use his different intelligence to record and impose his training. At his current level, he admitted that he was still quite satisfied.
This Spring Festival couplet's calligraphy was very strong and its ending was just right. It was indeed a high grade calligraphy brush.
Xin Nianyin came back to her senses. She didn't let Gu Jianming discover her heartbreak. She watched him busily going in and out of the house. The ribbon, the spring couplet, the window … They were all things that he needed for the new year.
Xin Nianyin could no longer hold it in. She finally said what her mother had told her at that time, "In my eyes, this is the most precious couplet of spring in the world. Thank you."
Gu Qi raised her head. Xin Nianyin's expression, which was filled with countless emotions, was reflected in his dark eyes. He had already guessed what was going on.
"Xin Xinyin, you're so cute when you flatter me."
The atmosphere had originally been brewing into a harmonious scene, but when Gu Huan said this, it forced Xin Nianyin to not hate him. It made her feel uncomfortable.
"Gu Qi Chen, I'm not flattering you, I'm just giving you face, don't think too much."
Xin Nianyin curled her lips in dissatisfaction. The appreciation on her face instantly changed to disdain.
When Gu Qi saw Xin Nianyin, she couldn't help but reach out her hand to tickle her. Xin Nianyin was known to be ticklish, so how could she withstand such torture from Gu Nianyin? She surrendered in two seconds.
Although Gu Min had stopped what she was doing, Xin Xinyin's smile didn't stop. It took her a lot of effort before she managed to calm down.
"Xin Nianyin, I'll accompany you to pay homage to your mother-in-law tomorrow."
