Being asked by Gu Xi Jue in such a way, Xia Lan's face immediately flushed red, and he instantly recalled the scene from not too long ago.
"Scared?" Gu Xi Jue asked calmly.
"... Isn't there a bathroom downstairs? Go to sleep, I'll use the one downstairs. " Xia Lan did not want to pester him too much, so she showed that she did not want to disturb his rest.
"..." Xia Lan thought, that meant only his room's bathroom could be used?
Does that mean she's going to use his bathroom for the next few days?
"Oh." Xia Lan nodded, and only now did she feel a little better.
At least, not too awkward.
Otherwise, what was it like for him to lie in bed and she to bathe in his bathroom?
Xia Lan took a bath as fast as she could, but where would Gu Xi Jue be working in the study room? He was standing by the study window, smoking.
After showering, changing into a set of pajamas and blow-drying his hair, Gu Xi Jue did not come out from the study. Xia Lan thought, maybe he did not know that she had finished her bath?
After struggling for a while, Xia Lan still went to the door of the study room and looked at the door.
After a few sounds, the door opened, and Xia Lan smelt a strong scent of cigarette smoke, she could not help but take a few breaths.
Looking at her expression, Gu Xi Jue recalled that she did not open the window when he was smoking. From her expression, it seemed that she did not like the smell of the smoke.
Without batting an eyelid, Gu Xi Jue left the study room and closed the door.
"What's the matter?" Gu Xi Jue asked.
Xia Lan shook his head: "Let me tell you, I'm finished."
Gu Xi Jue laughed, his laugh was extremely sinister: "After you've finished bathing, tell me, is this a type of invitation?"
Seeing the dubious look in his eyes, Xia Lan immediately raised his head and said anxiously: "What invitation? I'm just afraid that you'll stay in the study and not come out."
"Do I even need to dodge? I wish I could just rush in, you should know that … " As Gu Xi Jue spoke, he took a step forward and got closer to Xia Lan.
Xia Lan subconsciously retreated, and discovered that her reaction seemed to be too obvious, as if he was very afraid of him.
This man was too hard to deal with. The more scared she was of him, the more he would take advantage of her.
Therefore, Xia Lan stretched her neck and pretended to be calm as she said, "Anyway, I told you, if you liked going back, go back to your room. If you like staying in the study room, continue smoking, and then continue smoking."
With that, Xia Lan ignored him and turned to leave.
Looking at her arrogant back, Gu Xi Jue felt as if he had been exposed. He angrily shouted from behind her: "Who said I'm in the study to smoke, I'm looking at emails!"
"Whatever." Before Xia Lan entered Xiao Ze's room, she replied lightly.
was so angry that his entire face turned black!
The current Xia Lan, could only think of one word to describe her, and that was … Arrogant!
Early morning on the second day, the sunlight shone through the glass into the main hall of the villa. Gu Xi Jue and Xiao Ze were awoken by the fragrance.
Xiao Ze closed his eyes and smelt the smell. He nudged his head and crawled out of the blanket, then ran downstairs in his pajamas.
As she ran, she shouted, "Beautiful auntie, what are you cooking? "Why is it so fragrant?"
Xia Lan was in the kitchen cooking Primal Chaos. When she heard Xiao Ze's shout, she turned her head with a smile and saw him running up the stairs. Behind him, Gu Xi Jue just happened to open the door and walk out.
"Xiao Ze, slow down, don't fall." Xia Lan nervously asked.
How could Xiao Ze care so much right now? He ran even faster and rushed into the kitchen and looked up.
Gu Xi Jue followed closely behind and went into the kitchen and stood by her side. He looked at the pot in his eyes and asked: "You woke up early and wrapped it?"
"Yeah, I think that eating congee every day will make me tired. Children need to change species to get better nourishment, so I decided to make it a little chaotic." Xia Lan said.
"Chaos, are they dumplings?" Xiao Ze asked innocently.
Of course, Gu Xi Jue would not hold the Primal Chaos. At Grandma's house, even the kitchen auntie had only wrapped dumplings, she had never wrapped the Primal Chaos.
Therefore, the pitiful Xiao Ze had never eaten Primal Chaos before.
"Chaos is chaos, dumplings are dumplings, it's not the same. Xiao Ze will know after he tries them." Xia Lan saw that it was almost done, and prepared to take out three bowls from the cupboard.
However... The big bowl was on the top of the cupboard, it was too high, so high that Xia Lan couldn't even reach it by tiptoe.
Just as she was going all out to get what she wanted, Gu Xi Jue raised his hand behind her and easily took out three bowls from the cupboard.
"Thank you." Xia Lan took the bowl.
Gu Xi Jue stood beside her, looked at her Primal Chaos, and casually asked: "What is it?"
"Mushroom chicken."
Gu Xi Jue nodded his head. Yesterday, at the supermarket, she bought chicken breasts and mushrooms.
"Wow, I like to eat lentinus edodes the most." Xiao Ze was so greedy that saliva almost flowed out of his mouth.
"Did you wash your hands? If you don't wash your hands, then don't give me food." Xia Lan threatened.
Xiao Ze pouted, but still obediently went to wash his hands.
Gu Xi Jue looked at Xiao Ze who had walked away with his mouth agape, and then looked at the smiling Xia Lan.
This woman would never purposely curry favor with Xiao Ze, nor would she purposely treat Xiao Ze well in front of him. When it was time to praise, she was never stingy with her praise and encouragement. When the time was right, she would not spoil Xiao Ze too much.
This woman was truly different from other women.
She treated him as if … No desires, no desires.
This was not a good thing!
If a woman had no money to rely on for a man, and relied on her own strength for a man, then what would she do with this man?
Gu Xi Jue deeply felt that it would be hard to chase after Xia Lan, so … He seemed to be walking further and further away from Xia Lan.
He and Xiao Yan both had their own advantages. Xiao Yan had many years of memories and a childhood friend's wager, but it seemed like he was the only one who could be used as a wager.
However, this was nothing. No matter how many beautiful memories she had with Xiao Yan, he was confident that they would win.
Of course, this kind of confidence was only present when Gu Xi Jue was still unaware that he had already registered and married Xiao Yan.
"Alright, you can eat now." After scooping the three bowls, Xia Lan looked at Gu Xi Jue.
The look in her eyes was too obvious. A pair of sparkling eyes stared at her, causing others to feel pity for her.
Gu Xi Jue tactfully picked up the two bowls and walked towards the dining hall.
Xia Lan laughed as she carried the last bowl and quickly left the dining hall.
Xiao Ze swung his Michelin-like short legs, swallowing the Primal Chaos whole in his mouth and chewing it with a smack.
"Slow down, you're not afraid of the heat." Xia Lan was afraid that he would be burned.
After swallowing a whole piece of the Primal Chaos in a few gulps, Xiao Ze was filled with praise. "Wow, beautiful auntie, why is it so delicious, it's so fragrant!"
