Chapter 291: Confidence
"Since you trust me, why are you worried?"
Another question turned into a blunt statement by Bai Chenyao.
Oh crap!
Grumbling silently that Bai Chenyao was being unreasonable, Gu Tiantian finally relaxed her tense nerves.
"It’s just... the first time I’m cooking for you, I’m worried it might not suit your taste."
If it were a meal with her grandmother, she wouldn’t be so anxious.
But Bai Chenyao and she don’t live in the same world—one is used to fine dining, the other to simple meals. How could she not be worried?
Of course, she didn’t voice these thoughts in front of Bai Chenyao.
What would happen if she did?
Expect Bai Chenyao to understand her?
Tsk!
She better save her breath!
Gu Tiantian thought that after her soft words, the matter was behind them.
Besides, it wasn’t really a big deal to begin with.
However, she clearly felt a change in Bai Chenyao’s aura as he hugged her.
From calm before, now it felt a bit cold.
Gu Tiantian didn’t understand why and slowly tilted her head to meet Bai Chenyao’s deep, dark eyes, clearly sensing his cold, sharp gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Gu Tiantian was even more puzzled.
What exactly happened?
Did she have no idea?
Seriously, she was so innocent, wasn’t she?
Is she going to be cast aside again?
Various questions flashed through Gu Tiantian’s mind, but in reality, she could only stare blankly at Bai Chenyao with a look of ’why did you suddenly change your expression.’
"You don’t know my preferences?"
A question, but with an unmistakable accusatory tone.
And it carried a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
Gu Tiantian roared internally, damn it, why should she know his preferences?
She’s not even his girlfriend!
But, she didn’t dare to say this aloud, fearing it’d upset Bai Chenyao, and she’d be the one to suffer.
Gu Tiantian blinked and her mind raced as she quickly explained.
"A Yao, it’s like this, we don’t spend much time together each day."
At this point, Gu Tiantian abruptly paused, quickly adding before Bai Chenyao could speak.
"Although it’s not much, it’s not too little either. It’s my poor memory; I haven’t noticed what you like to eat or your taste preferences, it’s my fault. I’ll pay more attention in the future."
Damn, she almost dug a hole for herself.
If she had said they didn’t spend much time together, and Bai Chenyao shot back with being together every moment, wouldn’t she go crazy?
Plus, her plan of going back to school to work on her graduate studies would definitely be off before it even started.
Honestly, it was so damn risky!
Though Bai Chenyao didn’t say anything, Gu Tiantian felt the air gradually warming up as before, with no longer that feeling of being constrained and uneasy.
She sighed in relief, and to avoid Bai Chenyao picking on her again, Gu Tiantian promptly served him rice and added more dishes to his plate.
"A Yao, I know you prefer milder flavors. All the dishes this time, except the spicy fish-flavored shredded pork, should be fine."
"Oh right, try this steamed crucian carp, it’s steamed and has no fishy taste at all. It’s one of my specialties, my grandmother loves it."
Oops, she shouldn’t mention Bai Chenyao and her grandmother in the same breath, what if Bai Chenyao minds?
Worried about Bai Chenyao nitpicking, Gu Tiantian immediately shifted the topic and picked up a piece of stir-fried potato strips for him.
