Chapter 693: Truth and Lies 13
Xia Yinian dropped the scalding spatula onto the floor, looking at her fingertips that had been reddened by the burn."Nian Nian." Gu Beicheng came over and took her hand into his mouth.
Xia Yinian thought her finger must have been in pain, but unexpectedly, it stopped hurting in an instant.
Looking at the man in front of her, she felt a little moved in her heart.
She stood dazed for quite a while before Xia Yinian reacted, retracting her small hand that was being held.
"It’s okay now."
"Did you burn yourself? Let me have a look." Gu Beicheng was still not at ease.
"It’s really fine." Xia Yinian turned around, avoiding him, and walked toward another direction.
She couldn’t accept Uncle’s kindness.
She turned on the faucet and placed her finger under the water, rinsing it.
The slightly cool water allowed Xia Yinian’s previously heated breath to slowly calm down.
She clearly knew she couldn’t accept his kindness, but deep down, she harbored a different expectation.
This feeling was peculiar, and even she didn’t know what she really needed.
Gu Beicheng glanced around and went to turn off the exhaust fan and opened the kitchen window.
Soon, the chaotic air in the kitchen got better.
"How is it? Let me see." He walked over to Xia Yinian in a few steps, grabbing her small hand.
Being embraced by the warmth, Xia Yinian wanted to turn and leave.
But with Uncle pressing her tightly against the sink, she couldn’t move at all.
"I said, it’s no..."
Before she could finish her words, suddenly, a "gurgling" sound emerged.
Gu Beicheng, holding her small hand, looked down at her.
"Are you hungry?"
Xia Yinian blinked and nodded.
"Sorry! Actually, my cooking skills... are not good."
It seems inappropriate to describe it as "not good." Although her life at the Xia Family wasn’t exactly great, cooking was still not something she had to do.
"I know."
Gu Beicheng wrapped his arms around her and turned to leave the kitchen.
Xia Yinian truly didn’t know how she would live her days after today.
Uncle not only personally applied medicine to her finger, but now he was also busy working in the kitchen alone.
Could Uncle cook? It obviously seemed like the first time.
She snuck several peeks inside; the person there seemed to be searching on his phone as well.
Xia Yinian thought she understood Uncle’s character.
On a whim, he could be very nice to you, but it’s very possible that tomorrow he would revert to being that cold and ruthless tyrant.
Therefore, Xia Yinian dared not think too much, nor could she harbor any expectations.
"It was his choice to cook, I didn’t force him, really not at all."
Xia Yinian comforted herself and picked up the remote control, turning on the TV in the living room.
A youth idol drama was being played on the TV, and it also happened to be one she liked before, so Xia Yinian’s gaze halted there.
Unexpectedly, in less than three minutes, she felt unable to continue watching.
The male lead in the show wasn’t super handsome, but at that time, she thought he was alright.
But now, Xia Yinian felt that the man couldn’t even be associated with the word "handsome."
A more handsome, super handsome man was right by her side, so she wondered why she was still watching this idol drama?
Seventh Young Master, the most formidable and handsome man in Ye City, favored by women, was now cooking inside.
Moreover, it seemed that he said it was for her.
Xia Yinian never imagined she could be so indifferent about it, even feeling bored enough to prefer watching TV than to go in and help.
She turned off the TV carelessly, got up from the sofa, and tiptoed towards the kitchen.
