Ouyang Qing received far better treatnt at the Gu Family’s place than Gu Fuqiao did by countless tis; naturally, she wouldn’t know how to cook.
Seeing a huge ss burnt at the bottom of the pot, Ouyanqing’s eyebrows furrowed so much they almost t, and her face was full of disdain. "I should have just let Gu Fuqiao co over on her own. Why am I doing all this? But Gu Fuqiao probably doesn’t know how to cook either, right? If I don’t act a bit more dostic, how am I supposed to win Yan Zhen Guo over from her hands?"
Just as she was speaking, the front door suddenly opened. She thought it was Gu Fuqiao returning, but turning around, she saw that it was Yan Zhen Guo who had co back.
"Brother-in-law, you’re back?" Facing Yan Zhen Guo, Ouyang Qing hurriedly picked up the spatula that she had tossed aside, pretending to be diligently cooking as she walked over to him.
Yan Zhen Guo gave her a cursory glance and seeing her like this, he directly raised his eyes and asked, "Where is your sister?"
"Ah." Although Ouyang Qing was standing in the kitchen, she had ticulously applied makeup. She had hoped Yan Zhen Guo would spare her an extra glance but hadn’t expected his first words to be directly about Gu Fuqiao.
Reluctantly, she replied, "Sister said she was worried there wouldn’t be enough food, so she went to the cafeteria to get so."
"So you’re cooking." Yan Zhen Guo didn’t ask further, reaching out to take the spatula from Ouyang Qing, saying, "Let do it."
Ouyang Qing widened her eyes; just as joy filled her heart, she heard Yan Zhen Guo add, "You’re rarely visiting; I can’t let you do these things."
The implication being, she was rely a guest.
When Gu Fuqiao returned to the family residence with the dishes, the entire hallway was filled with the aroma of food. Gu Fuqiao thought, her house was probably filled with the sll of burnt food!
As she approached her front door, she saw a sister-in-law from next door opening her door and stepping out. Seeing Gu Fuqiao standing at the door, she was slightly surprised and said, "Yan Family’s sister, why aren’t you at ho cooking? I just heard the sound of cooking from your place."
Before Gu Fuqiao could respond, the sister-in-law continued, "You didn’t let Yan do the cooking, did you?"
Gu Fuqiao waved her hand and said, "No, I have a guest at ho. My family is assisting; I went out to get so dishes." After saying that, Gu Fuqiao opened the door and went inside.
Contrary to Gu Fuqiao’s expectation, the kitchen was not filled with the sll of sothing burnt but rather a burst of fragrance.
Gu Fuqiao headed to the kitchen. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Yan Zhen Guo cooking at the stove, still wearing his work uniform, evidently having just co back from work to eat lunch.
Standing beside him in high heels was Ouyang Qing, attentively watching Yan Zhen Guo while constantly praising, "Brother-in-law, you’re really amazing! No matter how I tried, I couldn’t get it right, but you ca and got it done instantly."
Gu Fuqiao already knew Yan Zhen Guo’s cooking was nothing impressive; he could manage to make boiled noodles and raw eggs. It’s likely every dish she bought today would be ruined. What made Gu Fuqiao even more annoyed was that she didn’t expect Yan Zhen Guo to cook for Ouyang Qing!
Gu Fuqiao imdiately walked in, squeezed herself between Yan Zhen Guo and Ouyang Qing, and snatched the spatula out of Yan Zhen Guo’s hand, taking a deep breath and saying directly, "Let cook!"
Yan Zhen Guo didn’t stand on ceremony with Gu Fuqiao at all. Seeing her there, he just turned and walked out.
Ouyang Qing saw Yan Zhen Guo walking out and was eager to follow him, but Gu Fuqiao caught her with one hand.
Gu Fuqiao gave Ouyang Qing a glance and said, "Weren’t you here to help with the cooking? Your brother-in-law has things to do, don’t bother him."
"You." Ouyang Qing was so angered by Gu Fuqiao that she couldn’t utter a word, but recalling her earlier words, she stifled her grievance.
Actually, Ouyang Qing was of no help in the kitchen, but Gu Fuqiao, ready for a confrontation today, handed the spatula to Ouyang Qing, saying, "Co on, give it a try."
"I..." Ouyang Qing hadn’t expected Gu Fuqiao to be serious. Holding the spatula, she didn’t know what to do, finally placing it on the stove irritated, telling Gu Fuqiao, "You’re just wielding a feather as a command stick to bully , aren’t you!"
Gu Fuqiao watched Ouyang Qing with a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
Her deanor actually made Ouyang Qing a bit afraid. In the past, if she taunted Gu Fuqiao like this, Gu Fuqiao would be so angered her face would pale, unable to speak, but the current Gu Fuqiao was entirely different! It seed she wasn’t giving her any thought at all.
"You can think so." After Gu Fuqiao finished speaking, she turned and walked out.
Just as she stepped outside, she saw Yan Zhen Guo’s tall fra standing in front of the bedroom door. Then she recalled keeping the room locked to prevent Ouyang Qing from ddling inside while she was out.
She quickly went over, took the keys out from her pocket, and said, "I found this lock in the cabinet at ho, so I locked up while I was out. Here, I’ll open it for you."
With those words, Gu Fuqiao unlocked the bedroom door.
After Yan Zhen Guo went in, he imdiately began changing clothes. His uniform was drenched with sweat, and after taking it off, beads of sweat were still visible on his distinctly defined muscles.
Gu Fuqiao followed him in, intending to reiterate her earlier words about keeping Ouyang Qing at a distance, but upon seeing Yan Zhen Guo strip down, she quickly turned away.
Especially in this hot weather, constantly seeing such stimulating scenes could practically give soone a fever.
"Why lock the door?" Yan Zhen Guo asked while changing.
Gu Fuqiao didn’t understand why Yan Zhen Guo, who never paid much attention to details, was asking this and furrowed her brows, "I heard there have been thieves, just in case!"
Yan Zhen Guo’s eyebrows knitted together: "Nonsense, could there be thieves in the compound?"
Of course, there wouldn’t be thieves in the compound, but Ouyang Qing was there, and she had rummaged through the trousseau this morning.
Gu Fuqiao estimated Yan Zhen Guo was done changing, stepped out, and glanced into the kitchen. The door was still tightly shut, with the occasional banging sound.
She knew Ouyang Qing was still fumbling around making food in the kitchen, precisely as she wanted. After all, she’d already eaten at the cafeteria and the two at dishes she brought back were enough for Yan Zhen Guo.
"Why isn’t it done yet?" Yan Zhen Guo’s voice ca from behind.
Gu Fuqiao turned, pointing to the food box on the table, "I anticipated this, so I prepared this for you."
"Then what about your cousin?" Yan Zhen Guo asked, puzzled.
Hearing Yan Zhen Guo ntion Ouyang Qing made Gu Fuqiao feel a pang of discomfort. She pointed at the food box directly, "Eat or not? If you don’t, you won’t sleep in the bed tonight!"
