Chapter 66 - Quick Fix
Translator: MiraiSaesang
Something like a quick fix cannot be done on your own. It is also not the kind of matter where you can ask the other person involved to drop the matter and move-on on their own.
The next day, with Meng Gu as the driver, together with Chen Ruo Yu sent Liang Sisi to the airport.
Chen Ruo Yu's mood was low and she was trying to restrain her tears. As she watched Liang Sisi disappear out of sight, she suddenly thought, that this woman running towards a man, is she rushing towards life or rushing to a battlefield? Or possibly the man's life is a battlefield?
She turned her head and looked at Meng Gu's face with a relaxed and happy expression. She couldn't help but feel depressed, he is not sharing in her grief and joy, really annoying.
"What is it?" Meng Gu looked at her expression and asked her.
"There's nothing." Chen Ruo Yu turned and walked away.
Well, she also has her battlefield, she has to make a proper calculation on how she can get along with Meng Gu for a lifetime, no replacement.
She doesn't want to replace him, and he also doesn't to replace her.
She wants to live with a person for a lifetime, and she hopes that person can be Meng Gu.
But now it seems that he doesn't have enough sense of security with her, looking at how things are it shouldn't be so. His conditions are much better than hers, so it is normal for her to be uneasy. What about him? Is she not invested enough or is she not enthusiastic enough?
Chen Ruo Yu seriously thought about it, she saw Meng Gu driving and kept cautiously glancing at her, she sent him a glare, and suddenly felt like she was more powerful than before.
Meng Gu asked her again, "What is it?"
"There's nothing." She turned her head and decided to maintain her imposing manner.
She hadn't thought about how to properly talk about this. Suddenly after passing by a supermarket, she quickly shouted for him to stop and asked to go in to buy something. Meng Gu, of course, had no objections and thought that it was a good start to go shopping with his girlfriend.
The two people pushed a shopping cart inside.
"What do you want to buy?"
"I haven't thought about it." Chen Ruo Yu replied.
Meng Gu opened his mouth and closed it.
Chen Ruo Yu touched here, looked there, somewhat inattentively.
Meng Gu finally couldn't help but say, "Next time when you have something missing at home, make a list, that you can come and buy them directly. It will be more efficient this way."
Chen Ruo Yu speedily retorted, "Shopping is not about efficiency, it is about fun."
Meng Gu was taken aback and did not say anything. Actually, according to him, efficiency is fun. But clearly, women don't see it that way.
Chen Ruo Yu glanced at him, "How can shopping be like you're going to war, not cute at all."
Meng Gu did not say anything, then Chen Ruo Yu asked, "Dr. Meng, do you have an obsession with cleanliness?" She remembered that day when his shirt was a little dirty, he immediately bought a new one and put it on.
"I just love to be clean."
"Who cleans your house?" She remembered that his apartment seemed to be spotless.
Meng Gu coughed twice with a smile on his face, Chen Ruo Yu glanced at him, "Why is your expression so strange?"
"Nothing, I just think that our topic of conversation has finally made some substantial progress."Chen Ruo Yu frowned, "What progress?"
"We're already negotiating who will do the housework."
"You are thinking too much, I just asked casually to see if you have any particular strange ailments."
"How can I have a strange problem?"
"The last time when your shirt was a little dirty, you immediately spent money to buy another one to wear, isn't that a strange problem?"
"There was your snot on it."
The two women who were passing by heard this and turned to look at Chen Ruo Yu, were eating and laughing. Chen Ruo Yu was embarrassed and glared at Meng Gu and said, "That was obviously not it."
"If there is snot on your clothes, don't tell me you will continue to wear them? If you don't change quickly, the whole body feel unwell."
Chen Ruo Yu ignored him and walked to the side, Meng Gu followed her, "Hey, you can't be angry because I said the truth."
Chen Ruo Yu did not respond and just kept walking forward. Meng Gu added: "We obviously reconciled yesterday."
"Not yet." She was still considering ways they can communicate so that they can reconcile and be more vigilant.
"How come not yet?" Meng Gu walked up to her and held her arm, "Small ghost, tell me, what do you want?"
Chen Ruo Yu hadn't answered yet, when Meng Gu suddenly smelled a nasty smell, then he saw Chen Ruo Yu looking somewhere else with her eyes glittering, this is not good. He turned around, there was a durian shelf not far off.
Chen Ruo Yu turned to look at him and did not say anything.
Meng Gu looked at her and then looked at the durian and then back at her. Finally, under the strong hinting from her eyes, he said, "You pick."
Chen Ruo Yu smiled, turned her eyes and went straight to the biggest one, and handed it to the supermarket clerk to weigh it, it was a little more than 15 pounds, Chen Ruo Yu looked regretful, "The one from last time was 20 pounds."
Meng Gu was speechless, she still remembered the last one.
Chen Ruo Yu had the durian and her mood had become better. She did not stroll around anymore and urged for them to go home, so she can eat the durian, Meng Gu helped her carry the durian to the checkout counter, then first asked her, "Have we reconciled?"
Chen Ruo Yu nodded, and Meng Gu put the durian on the counter, "Checkout."
This is really good, Chen Ruo Yu was very satisfied and very happy. They had reconciled and she will be vigilant, the next time he bullies her again, she will buy a bunch of durians for her to eat, and him to suffer the stink.
After paying, Chen Ruo Yu happily walked ahead and rushing to the side of the car. Meng Gu was behind her muttering, it seems that he was not convinced that he was not as good as a durian.
"What did you say?" Chen Ruo Yu turned back."
"Nothing." Meng Gu threw the durian into the trunk, and Chen Ruo Yu was somewhat distressed. "Ah, don't throw it."
Meng Gu pursed his lips, Chen Ruo Yu was still reluctant to part with it, "I really want to eat it now."
Meng Gu was sullen and then suddenly said, "Oh, forgot to buy air freshener." He made as if he wanted to go back to the supermarket, Chen Ruo Yu glared at him and got into the car.
Meng Gu obediently got in, Chen Ruo Yu was somewhat pleased with herself, and her appearance seemed happy. The smell of the durian filled the car, Meng Gu had on a bitter expression, she became even happier.Just as she was enjoying herself, Meng Gu suddenly held her chin and kissed her, "When you eat the durian, I can't kiss you so I will make up for it first."
Chen Ruo Yu was startled but she did not resist. Meng Gu took the opportunity to deeply kiss her and the two people, who are "meeting again after a long period of separation", so they burned with enthusiasm, and were gasping for breath before they reluctantly separated.
The mood of this return trip home changed from cloudy to sunny. Meng Gu drove and spoke, from time to time would hold her hand. Chen Ruo Yu's heart felt sweet in the short while, and she forgot the previous matters.
Back home, Chen Ruo Yu was standing at the entrance of the kitchen, with a bowl of durian, eating while talking, whole Meng Gu sat on the living room sofa, trying to stay as far away as possible from the durian. Chen Ruo Yu thought that this was very good, it seemed a bit like he feared her.
She, first of all, talked to him about Liang Sisi's matters. Her intention to show that she was a woman can make a daring decision and have the courage to act on it, and reminded him that he must not neglect her, otherwise, she can also be as brave as Liang Sisi.
As a result, Meng Gu's reaction was: "She unexpectedly went there to get married? Only after knowing him for a few weeks? She is really not a normal woman."
Chen Ruo Yu's face went dark as she held the durian, well, this example is a bit extreme. It is indeed a little bit different from normal.
"You think it's very worrying, right?" Then she will go back to tell him to be good to her, otherwise, she will do something silly and he will regret it.
"I am not worried. Liang Sisi is a woman who can be thrown into the mountains, and would be able to trick the tigers and lions into obedience."
"What about me?"
"You definitely will be one of those fooled into obedience."
"Is that to say that I am a tiger or lion?"
"A female one." Meng Gu nodded.
Chen Ruo Yu reacted after a while with an "Oh." She was not convinced, and could not accept his answer is him admitting that she herself is fierce, she pretended not to understand and took a piece of durian, "Anyway, I am worried."
"You are still worried about her? Why don't you worry about the man who wants to marry her?" Meng Gu thought that there was no other person in the apartment, only him and his family's Chen Ruo Yu felt that it was suddenly a lot more relaxing and comfortable, "Speaking of which, I really want to see what that man is like. If I meet him, I have to beat him up."
"Why beat him?"
"What was he doing earlier, should have come to take this woman Liang Sisi away from here much earlier. So that we would have had more time to spend alone, perhaps we would have made more progress already, a little bit."
Chen Ruo Yu narrowed her eyes at him, "What progress? Why do I think that these your words are referring to □?
" You heard that? It's definitely you have that intention towards me."
"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Ruo Yu did not admit that she had a spring dream, and she put on an upright expression, "I have seriously told you, I want to properly be in a relationship, not playing."
"Me too." Meng Gu saw his family's Chen Ruo Yu was so serious, so he also quickly became serious, "I am not only serious, but I also feel that we are a little slow."
"How is it slow?" If he says that they have not developed into bed, then she intends to cover his head with the durian shell.
"Slow, we haven't met the parents, like this it always feels like it's not set. Chen Ruo Yu, are you ready to see my parents?"
How did the parents come out now?
Chen Ruo Yu's imposing manner immediately weakened, she thought and was reluctant to admit her hesitation and so said, "I am not ready because you are not performing well, I have to carefully observe you."
Meng Gu was speechless.
"So you have to be good to me. My requirements are not high, you must not deliberately make trouble and make me angry."
Well, it is really not very demanding, Meng Gu nodded.
His family's Chen Ruo Yu should be very easy to please. before he did all kinds of bad things, and she didn't dwell on it. Now that he is in her heart and she's very fond of him, she will definitely drop the matter.
Chen Ruo Yu saw that Meng Gu was full of confidence and wondered what he was thinking, "So what are you going to do for me."
"Of course, I will make you feel very moved."
The next day, Meng Gu unexpectedly bought groceries and ran to Chen Ruo Yu's house to perform, saying that he must cook food for her to eat.
Chen Ruo Yu had no doubts, because she had seen Meng Gu buying expensive steak in the supermarket. She also saw the various dishes in the refrigerator in Meng Gu's house, and he has a super chef friend, Yin Ze, and he is also someone who is rather particular and pays attention to living well. So considering these circumstances, she believed that Meng Gu should have good cooking skills.
She readily agreed and stated she was indeed somewhat moved. Then she left him in the kitchen and relaxed to watch TV in the living room. After ten minutes, she went to the kitchen to check on the situation.
She was shocked.
"Who would cut a fish with a scalpel?"
There actually was.
Meng Gu answered, "My dad."
Chen Ruo Yu opened her mouth for a long time, then asked, "How did you mother deal with your father?"
"Told him to get out of the kitchen."
He looked at her with a meaningful glint in his eyes, Chen Ruo Yu blinked. She looked at the messy kitchen and suddenly realized that he also wanted to leave the kitchen. He brought groceries to cook for her, just to play this role.
Did he think she would say, "No need, no need, I am coming", then he will immediately take advantage of the situation and use it to his own benefit, yield and let her cook, and so he only came to move her with the "intention" to cook?
Chen Ruo Yu blinked again and then said, "Very well, young man, you will be better than your father, work hard."
This man is really "moving".
MiraiSaesang's Notes: LOL I love her reaction, it's exactly what I would have done...Meng Gu thought he was smart ????...
