Chapter 689: 689 Showing off love ends quickly (3)_1
After Eleven finished chopping the ingredients for him, she came up with the excuse of wanting to stay behind to learn some cooking skills. In her words, "I’m sincere about this! (Star-eyed) This way, when you come home tired from work, or rundown from a trip, if I’m at home, I can cook a delicious meal for you. Maybe give you a massage. Won’t life be delightful?"
Sounding rather nice, the mere thought of it could even warm one’s heart. Although Gu Liancheng didn’t harbor any expectation for such a future, he ultimately couldn’t refuse her and allowed her to stay.
However, it was pushing it to say she was learning to cook. She merely stood to the side as his assistant, essentially serving as his hands, helping to stir the pan and such.
While using seasoning, whatever he told her to add and how much, she would simply follow his directions.
Gu Liancheng took his eyes off her for just a few seconds to grab something from the fridge. He said, "Add half a spoonful of salt." However, Eleven accidentally added nearly a full spoonful, her hand shaking uncontrollably.
He felt a pang of unease, but convinced himself that she had only added a bit more than half a spoonful, it shouldn’t cause any severe consequences, right?
"What’s with your expression? Did you put the wrong sugar?"
"No, no! Look, it’s salt!"
Gu Liancheng found it strange, as he turned around to see a face full of worry as though she had made a mistake.
Gu Liancheng had full confidence in his culinary abilities, but it seemed he had overlooked one important thing — the pitfall that was his kitchen assistant. He thought he had been watching her closely enough, but when did she make that "black move"?
"..." That face from earlier... did that mean she had added too much salt?
"How is it?", Eleven asked curiously.
"Delicious — uh —" Eleven had already begun eating ahead of him, nearly spitting out a mouthful of soup.
Gu Liancheng replied demurely, "It just needs some adjustment..."
Even under his close watch, she still managed to add the wrong amount of seasoning. He didn’t dare let her do anything else. After commanding her to sit still, not go anywhere, he returned to the kitchen to modify the dish.
Left with no other choice, Eleven simply sat still and didn’t go anywhere.
She pulled out her phone and began checking her friends’ posts, there were plenty of new comments. She had posted that picture of the kitchen silhouette.
Fei’er led the backlash with a comment: "Showing off your love can lead to a quick breakup," as streams of comments from shared friends followed, it was quite the spectacle.
Seeing this, Eleven smiled smugly, not offended at all. They were simply full of jealousy and envy!
Not just them, upon viewing her own post, she felt envious, too, at this moment in time, with this treatment, he was really too good to her.
In the past, no matter how nicely he treated her, he never actually cooked for her. Everything used to be made by Aunt Fang. He would always ask Aunt Fang to cook for her. For him to bother making her a midnight snack tonight was a first, but she hoped it wasn’t the last time.
In the future, she might get this kind of wonderful treatment often.
She replied similarly to everyone: Huh, you just can’t have him! There’s only one such perfect man!
And she’s already won his heart!
After Gu Liancheng had fixed the midnight snack, Eleven tasted it again, the flavor had completely changed. She suddenly realized that not letting her into the kitchen was the right decision. She had almost ruined a delicious dish!
Eleven savored the meal, acting as though nothing had happened, and Gu Liancheng didn’t bring it up either.
"On the way back, I kept thinking that if you really have to have that dinner with the client, it would be better to get it over with quickly. You should go tomorrow." Eleven said, looking down.
Gu Liancheng lifted his head but didn’t see her expression.
"We’ve only just become a couple, and I can’t bear to be parted from you, so I asked Su Bai to postpone it for a few days. We’ll see how things are after a few days."
