《A Cute Woman and Her Clingy Husband》C34. A Benign Countenance
Advertisement
Everything is ready. Su Ni finds out that she doesn't know what Gu Zechen likes eating at all.
After hesitating for a while, Su Ni decides to consult An Rong.
"Well, that's easy
Su Ni is in high spirits and goes to the kitchen to give directions. "Ze Chen, he doesn't pick food, he just doesn't like to eat some big stuff. By the way, fish is good, he likes to eat it."
"When Zechen comes back, he must be very happy to see that you have made so many favorite dishes. Su Ni, you have been bothered."
Su Ni blushes a little after hearing these words, but when she thinks that Gu Zechen's gloomy face will show a smile, her heart is steadfast.
"Mom, I'll do it myself." Su Ni says. "OK, I won't disturb you. If you have any questions, consult me directly."
An Rong pats Su Ni on the shoulder, admiring her.
At seven o'clock in the evening. The servants help Su Ni to set the table, and An Rong keeps dialing on the side of the sofa, and their eyes meet. Seeing that, Su Ni doesn’t say much.
But thinking that Gu Zechen is unlikely to come back, Su Ni feels slightly disappointed.
"Su Ni, it's OK. Ze Chen may have to work a little longer. Let's wait for him." An Rong comforts her.
"It's OK." Su Ni shrugs, pretending to be calm.
Half an hour later, Su Ni is a little stiff. She gets up and says, "Mom, I'm going to heat the dishes."
"I'll call Ze Chen again. He's really out of place." An Rong feels sorry. She has called many times, but Gu Zechen just doesn't answer. She's worried, too.
Su Ni smiles and asks the servant to help her. As soon as she turns around, she hears An Rong's excited voice: " Ze chen is back."
Sure enough, Gu Zechen is dressed in a black suit, pulling his tie with one hand, and strides in with deep brows.

Su Ni lowers her head, sips her lips and continues to cook.
"Ze chen, you’re back. Sit down." It's An Rong's voice. "You haven't eaten yet?" Gu Zechen says, "I have. You can eat yourselves.”
His words mean that he wants to go upstairs, and Su Ni puts down the pot cover, confused.
An Rong pulls Gu Zechen and lowers her voice deliberately: "Su Ni did this for you. You silly child, why don't you understand Su Ni's mind?”
"She did it?" Gu Zechen takes a look in the direction of the kitchen.
"Come on, sit down." An Rong no longer gives Gu Zechen a chance to talk. She drags Gu Zechen to sit down. "You can taste it and see if it's delicious."
"So-so" Gu Zechen's face is expressionless.
"You child, you must say delicious later!" An Rong pats Gu Zechen on the shoulder and is very dissatisfied with his evaluation.
"Here comes the dish." Su Ni, with the fish in her hand, calls out and walks out of the kitchen.
Gu Zechen wipes his mouth without expression, while An Rong smiles and says, "It's fish. Zechen loves it most."
"Try it." Su Ni says again.
Gu Zechen glances at Su Ni and it’s hard to define his expression. At last, he picks up chopsticks slowly and picks up fish, and he puts some fish into his mouth without expression.
An Rong opens her eyes and looks forward to it, while Su Ni holds her breath, though she is still calm.
She doesn't know whether the fish she made fits Gu Zechen's taste. A few seconds later, seeing Gu Zechen eating the fish, she couldn't wait to ask, "how is it?"
"So-so." "Pa", Gu Zechen puts down the chopsticks, then gets up, "I’m going upstairs first."
"Sit down." An Rong's face is flat, and she puts his hands on Gu Zechen's shoulders. She is very angry. "It's just so-so. You have to eat it, too. If you don't finish these today, you can’t go up."

Gu Zechen frowns and looks at Su Ni with displeasure.
It seems that she is misunderstood again. Su Ni's heart sinks and forces a smile. She says to An Rong, "Mom, let Ze Chen go first. Maybe there is still work to do."
Gu Zechen ignores them and wants to get up again. This time, An Rong is really angry. The charming eyes in the past are like a pool of stagnant water without any vitality.
"Zechen, I have taught you to be humble since you were a child. Anyway, this is Su Ni's intention, not to let you waste it." Seeing that Su Ni wants to talk, An Rong says again, "Su Ni, don't help him. Today I will watch him eat the fish clean."
Su Ni is biting her lips. She doesn't know what to say.
It is Gu Zechen who takes up chopsticks again casually. He tastes a little of everything, and An Rong's is relieved.
"Would you like to have some soup?" says Su Ni. "There's still soup in the kitchen."
"No more." It's still the same tone.
But seeing that Gu Zechen is really eating, Su Ni is also a little relieved. Seeing that An Rong is really going to supervise him, she says, "Mom, go to have a rest first. I will accompany Ze Chen to eat here."
"It's okay. Mom will watch for you. " An Rong says.
"It's OK, mom." Su Ni is coquettish, and An Rong nods. Before leaving, she doesn't forget to warn Gu Zechen, "I can also stare at you upstairs. Don't want to leave until you have finished eating."
"I see." Gu Zechen is a little impatient, but after all, An Rong orders, and he doesn't want to make her unhappy.
Su Ni and Gu Zechen are the only two people left in the huge living room. Su Ni takes the initiative to pick up some vegetables for Gu Zechen. Gu Zechen doesn't talk or refuse.
"Try this." Su Ni takes a little eggplant again, but Gu Zechen says without raising his head, "I don't know what means you used to make my mother so partial to you."
Su Ni pauses her chopsticks, and her face is a little embarrassed, but soon recovers, smiling. "Mom also wants us to have a better relationship. Don't worry about it. If you can't eat it, don't eat it."
Gu Zechen straight pulls a chair beside him, "Sit down." "Ah?" Su Ni is confused.
Gu Zechen pushes his bowl over, "you haven't eaten, I can't finish such a big meal."
Su Ni immediately feels that Gu Zechen is caring about her. The moment her heart warms, she sits down quickly, then looks at Gu Zechen's side face with a smile under her eyes. "In fact, these are things I did specially for you. I didn't mean to do the thing last night."
"I know." Gu Zechen looks as usual.
"Really?" Su Ni is very happy. She worried about it all night. Unexpectedly, she doesn't have to explain it.
"That's good." Later, Su Ni nods again and takes a long breath of relief. "Here, have a taste of this."
Gu Zechen suddenly pinches her wrist. There is a scald that looks red. Gu Zechen's purses her thin lips. Su Ni's eyes are flustered. She quickly takes back her hand and puts it under the table. She says, "it's OK. It's just a little scalded."
"You don't need to do these trivial things in the future. Naturally, someone will cook at home. If you let the outsiders know that, they think it's me who is strict with you."
Gu Zechen, who just had a pleasant face, suddenly changes his face. Thick clouds hang. How terrible!
Su Ni's heart is trembling, but she says in a low voice: "I cook for my husband myself. Everyone else should be envious of it. Who will gossip? "
