Chapter 694: Truth and Lies 14
This house isn’t very big; from the living room to the kitchen is just about a dozen steps.Before she even pushed open the kitchen door, she seemed to already smell a waft of fragrance.
Through the glass door, watching the busy figure inside, Xia Yinian’s heart pounded like a little deer jolting inside.
Could it be that such a handsome man is cooking for her; was she dreaming?
She carefully pushed open the door to the kitchen and walked in step by step.
"It’ll be ready soon," the man still cooking said, glancing back at her.
It was just one look, but Xia Yinian was utterly dazzled.
This was a truly handsome man; the one on TV just now didn’t even come close.
"No hurry," Xia Yinian whispered, pursing her lips.
Not being guarded against him anymore put Gu Beicheng in a really good mood.
"Serve these dishes, there’s one last dish left; it should be ready in about three minutes."
His tenderness made her take a few more glances.
Perhaps knowing that she could only play the female lead for a day, Xia Yinian still felt blissful.
There are too many imperfections in the world; shouldn’t people learn to seize the joy in the moment?
But thinking of Gu Lingqian, Xia Yinian still had her reservations.
"Uncle, could you drive me back after dinner? I have an appointment with Grandpa."
This place, Xia Yinian felt she couldn’t stay too long.
The male lead was so handsome and rare in his gentleness; she really worried that before he could pin her down, she wouldn’t be able to resist throwing herself at him.
So, for the safety of both of them, it was better to leave early.
She thought Uncle wouldn’t let her go so easily, but to her surprise, he nodded.
"Mhm, I have some things to deal with after dinner."
Getting his approval, Xia Yinian bit her lip, struggling to suppress her smile.
"Thank you, Uncle."
No sooner had she spoken than she picked up a plate of food and turned to leave.
Today’s Uncle was too kind, super kind, off-the-charts kind.
Watching the little girl’s joyful figure bounce away, Gu Beicheng furrowed his brows and turned back to continue cooking.
Did this girl always think of escaping from him because he was not handsome or charming enough?
He looked down at himself; tonight, his charm surely hadn’t lessened.
Why wasn’t he able to keep the girl’s thoughts?
Xia Yinian really wondered if today was her birthday, for God had been so good to her.
Yet even on her birthday, she wouldn’t have received such nice treatment.
What she didn’t expect most was that Uncle’s culinary skills were so good; oh my! A male god, Uncle was truly her male god.
Handsome, rich, and even cooking so deliciously, too perfect, flawless!
But why was there the impression that Uncle supposedly didn’t know how to cook?
Could it be that he had learned recently?
But learning so quickly, could it be any more magical? Understanding everything, mastering whatever he learns so swiftly, wasn’t that just remarkable?
Literally, like a deity!
After feasting, Xia Yinian was once again moved.
Uncle kept his promise and had Leng Zhishuo drive her back to the Feng Family.
...
Xia Yinian, back at the Feng Family, retained a smile on her face.
But sometimes happiness comes too suddenly, and a bit of misfortune is bound to arise.
While walking down the pathway toward the Feng Family Mansion in high spirits, she saw someone she never wanted to see again in her life.
Feng Yifan’s sudden appearance made Xia Yinian’s smile disappear instantly.
She had almost forgotten, this was the Feng Family, and inside the Feng Family lived a demon.
Moreover, a demon that cast a lifelong shadow on her...
