Chu Yichen came back in the afternoon.
Gu Na handed the document to him as her father had instructed. “Yichen, may I stay for lunch? I left the office in a hurry today. I haven’t eaten anything in the morning, so I’m starving.”
Chu Yichen took off his coat and handed the documents to Li Cheng.
“Whatever.” The man ignored her and walked towards the dining table.
Li An’an laid out the dishes on the table, filled Chu Yichen’s bowl with food, and stood there politely.
Gu Na followed Chu Yichen to the dining table, looking smug. When she saw the dishes on the dining table, she could not hold it in anymore.
“Vegetables, tofu, tomato soup, cold kelp, cold cucumber…” Was the Chu family going bankrupt? In the Gu family, each meal cost no less than 10,000 yuan. “Li An’an, are you cooking to feed the pigs?”
Li An’an winced. Obviously she had prepared these dishes for Chu Yichen. How was that feeding pigs? Was she calling Chu Yichen a pig, since he ate these every day!
Chu Yichen sat there with a cold and dangerous expression.
Gu Na knew that she had said something wrong and hurriedly apologized. “Yichen, I’m not scolding you. It’s Li An’an who has gone overboard. You’ve been working so hard every day. How can you eat such bland food? She must have embezzled the money for the groceries. A child like Li An’an from a commoner’s background is so lacking in perspective!”
Chu Yichen pointed at the dining table as he looked at Li An’an questioningly. He wanted her to explain today’s dishes.
Li An’an explained sincerely, “The science magazine says that for the sake of one’s health, one should eat less meat and more vegetables. I made this spread of vegetables for your health. It’s not like what she’s said about embezzling your money! You have to believe me!”
Alright, actually, she did it on purpose. She was not going to cook delicious food for an arrogant young lady like Gu Na. That woman should be so lucky that she had not been extra generous on the salt.
Chu Yichen smiled faintly when he heard her explanation.
Gu Na added fuel to the fire. “If you don’t know how to cook, don’t put on an act. Yichen, our family has just hired a western chef. I heard that he had even cooked for a president overseas! I’ll get him to come over and cook for us.” She wanted the chef to prepare a romantic western meal for her and Chu Yichen. They could nurture their relationship as they eat.
Chu Yichen ignored her. He picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks and started to eat.
Gu Na’s smile froze. Chu Yichen was actually eating it! He was actually eating such disgusting food. Was she seeing things? Li An’an was actually so capable that she’d managed to tame Chu Yichen.
“Eat up!” Chu Yichen shot Gu Na a dangerous look.
The coldness in his eyes scared Gu Na so much that she quickly picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into her mouth. She suppressed her disgust. She had been a fussy eater since she was young. She hated eating vegetables the most. It was difficult to swallow even just a little.
Chu Yichen actually forced her to eat it.
She put it in her mouth and planned to swallow it without biting it. Then, she suddenly realized that it actually tasted quite good. She took a bite and had to admit that it was crisp and delicious. It turned out that vegetables could be so delicious.
She looked at Li An’an and became even angrier.
Word has it that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This was how Li An’an managed to bewitch Chu Yichen. What a scheming woman!
Chu Yichen ate two bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks. Although Gu Na found the food delicious, she only ate one bowl of rice because of Li An’an.
Li An’an really wanted to say, “If you’re so capable, don’t eat at all. After all, the rice was cooked by me too.”
“Yichen, shall we go out for a walk?”
After dinner, Gu Na did not want to leave. However, Chu Yichen did not bother to be polite.
“Do you want me to return the documents to you?”
Gu Na’s expression stiffened. She was frightened and unwilling to leave. When she was finally leaving, she glared at Li An’an..
