Chapter 689: Truth and Lies 9
Xia Yinian furrowed her brows, finally realizing what was happening.She pushed him away forcefully, her lips pursed high.
She knew that this man always thought about bullying her; not a single moment was an exception.
"Uncle, please behave yourself!" Xia Yinian stood up and distanced herself from this man.
Gu Beicheng slightly curled his lips and began to gather his fishing rod.
"I wonder if the braised fish tonight will be delicious?"
With a "plop", the plump fish was placed in a bucket beside him.
Thinking of that big fish, Xia Yinian’s mood improved a bit.
But, does she really know how to make braised fish?
Looking down at the big fish in the bucket, Xia Yinian blinked.
How many steps must a live fish go through to become a delicacy on the table?
This was a question she had never really thought about.
Just now, she was only focused on how to get the raw ingredients, not knowing what to do next.
"Uncle," she looked up at the man in front of her.
Perhaps because she felt guilty, she was also embarrassed to bring up what happened just now.
"Why doesn’t Nian Nian know how to make braised fish?" Gu Beicheng put down the fishing rod, standing in front of her.
Xia Yinian furrowed her brow and quietly replied, "I should... be okay, but I don’t know how to slaughter."
Such a famous dish as braised fish, just search online and the recipe should be very detailed.
Following the instructions online, there shouldn’t be a big problem, right?
"That’s easy to handle." Gu Beicheng waved his hand, "Chi He."
"Yes, Seventh Young Master." Chi He moved quickly to the two people.
Xia Yinian looked at this man who suddenly appeared, and was at a loss for words.
She swore she didn’t know there was anyone nearby just now.
With Chi He’s skills, Xia Yinian no longer dared to doubt.
This made her think of her own master, how great it would be if someday she could also be like Chi He, coming and going without a trace.
"Slaughter the fish and then go and get a chicken. Nian Nian wants to eat chicken," Gu Beicheng said coolly.
Xia Yinian blinked, wasn’t it Uncle himself who wanted to eat chicken? Why did he say it was her?
"Yes, Seventh Young Master." Chi He picked up the bucket with the fish and looked back at Gu Beicheng.
"By the way, Seventh Young Master, Third Young Master Feng said he might not come back tonight, he asks you to help look after the house."
Dropping that statement, he left with the bucket.
He has helped all he could, how tonight would unfold depended solely on the Seventh Young Master.
Chi He didn’t quite understand how the all-capable Seventh Young Master could be at a loss over a little girl.
Whether "you and I" could naturally fall into place still indeed depended on the fate of the Seventh Young Master.
Not only did he hope so, but Third Young Master Feng also actively helped, wasn’t it a matter of right time, place, and people?
Not far from the pond, Chi He’s phone rang.
He took out his phone and looked at it, his brows tightly furrowed.
In an instant, only the bucket with the fish remained; Chi He had vanished.
"What’s the matter?" Far away, behind a locust tree, Chi He’s tall figure stood against the wind.
He had moved away from the pond because he knew clearly that the contents of the call could not be heard by Xia Yinian.
"Mr. Chi, it’s me." Xia Chuxue’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Speak." Chi He said in a deep voice, glancing at Xia Yinian who was still with the Seventh Young Master, then he felt relieved.
His attitude towards Xia Chuxue was always not so friendly.
"Say what you have to say quickly, I have other things to do, don’t dawdle!"
