Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At six o’clock in the evening, Gu Yun arrived home on time.
He entered the room, put down the things he was carrying, and looked into the lively kitchen. Only then did he realize that Hai Tang was actually busy in the kitchen with her skirt tied.
Gu Yun quickly walked in.” Wifey, what are you doing?”
Hai Tang was busy. She flipped the spatula and scooped the stir-fried vegetables into a plate. At the same time, she turned on the rice cooker and started the boiling soup. Only then did she have time to reply,’”‘l’m cooking. There’s a seafood soup, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a spicy stir-fried dish, and a non-spicy stir-fried dish that’s about to be cooked. Oh, and a plate of vegetables.”
Gu Yun saw that she was too busy to handle it, so he quickly took over the work in her hands and pulled her out of the kitchen.” Why didn’t you call the nanny to cook?”
Hai Tang was taken aback.” Didn’t you say you wanted to eat together?”
Gu Yun was also stunned for a moment. He looked at Hai Tang, who was sweating profusely, and then looked at the kitchen. Suddenly, his heart warmed.
It turned out that she had taken the initiative to cook because she wanted to eat with him and let him taste the food she had cooked personally.
Gu Yun’s heart instantly became sweet. A blissful and satisfied smile appeared on his face. He took off Hai Tang’s apron and placed her on the sofa. Then, he said, “”You’ve worked hard. I’ll cook next.”
Seeing Gu Yun’s figure enter the kitchen to continue busying himself, Hai Tang was still unable to react.
Wasn’t he hinting that she wanted to eat her cooking? Why did Gu Yun go home and cook instead?
Hai Tang looked around and realized that there were six boxes of cakes on the dining table. They all had different flavors. There were mango, chocolate, blueberry, nuts, chestnuts, and matcha.
Beside the cake was a large takeaway from a restaurant that she liked.
Looking at the amount of food, it was completely enough for the two of them to eat.
When Hai Tang saw these things, she understood that Gu Yun had no other meaning when he said he wanted to eat together. She had misunderstood Gu Yun’s motives.
She looked in the direction of the kitchen in a daze. Gu Yun happened to come out with a plate of stir-fried dishes. Seeing her gaze wandering between the cake and the takeaway, he explained, “I didn’t know which flavor you would like, so I bought them all.”
As he spoke, Gu Yun quietly put away the takeaway food and placed the stir-fried dishes on the dining table.
“Dinner will be ready soon. Wait for me.”After Gu Yun finished speaking, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
Hai Tang silently looked at the neatly arranged six cakes of different flavors on the table and suddenly remembered the past.
Once, she was in charge of organizing a meeting as a logistics staff member in school. When it ended, it was already 11 pm, and the shops outside were closed.
She had been busy all day and had not eaten anything. Coincidentally, Yu Heng had finished playing outside and was going back to school, so she asked Yu Heng to bring her some food.
However, Yu Heng brought back a durian cake for her. The cake had collapsed on the box because he had placed it in the back seat.
That day, Hai Tang was still hungry because she was allergic to durian. Once she ate durian, her whole body would break out in red rashes and she would have difficulty breathing.
When she was in junior high school, she went into allergic shock because she accidentally ate a durian given to her by a classmate during class. At that time, Yu Heng remembered it, but he didn’t remember it when he went to university.
Hai Tang silently pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table, staring blankly at the cake that Gu Yun had brought back.
After a while, Gu Yun came out with the food. Seeing that she was in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her.”What’s wrong? Don’t you like the taste of the cake?”
Some people didn’t remember that she was allergic to durian and brought her durian cake. However, some people were worried that she wouldn’t like it and bought her every flavor ot cake.
Hai Tang sighed in her heart. Just as she raised her head to reply, she suddenly saw Gu Yun wearing a pink apron and suddenly laughed.”Gu Yun, why are you wearing my apron?”
Gu Yun lowered his head and tugged at the pink bear apron on his body. He deliberately said, “I’m not handsome? Still not beautiful?”
“It’s funny.” Hai Tang couldn’t help but laugh. Gu Yun, who was tall and dressed in a simple business shirt, was wearing a cute bear apron. The scene of him asking her was really out of place and funny.
Seeing Hai Tang smile, Gu Yun was relieved. He untied his apron and placed her on a shelf at the side. Only then did he sit down and set up the bowls and chopsticks for Hai Tang.” We can taste each other’s cooking today.”
