Chapter 778 - 781: Chenxing, I Hurt 8_1
[Chapter 8]
"I’m hungry!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Instead of a grand feast, the woman who claimed to be hungry was hauled by the man to the vegetable section of a nearby supermarket. She was seriously choosing between two carrots, deciding which one she favored more.
Gu Shaocheng walked over with a box of pork belly on his phone and placed it in the cart. Then, he casually grabbed a bundle of spinach from the side. Chenxing immediately took it out and put it back. Shaocheng raised an eyebrow, "I love it."
"This spinach doesn’t look fresh at all. Do you even know how to choose vegetables?" Chenxing retorted rudely.
Shaocheng, who didn’t know what came over him, took her hand and pushed the cart, "Then let’s go to the market. I want spinach for dinner!"
Chenxing stopped pushing the cart, "I’m not done picking my vegetables. I don’t know how to cook spinach. If you want it, fry it yourself!"
As a result, Gu Shaocheng found himself in the kitchen that day. Taking off his suit jacket and rolling up his sleeves, he started to cook, looking quite professional, leaving Chenxing completely dumbfounded.
A dish of chestnut roast chicken with perfect colors and aroma was freshly cooked. Gu Shaocheng handed the plate to her, "Take it out, and no stealing bites!"
Before he finished speaking, Chenxing directly grabbed a chestnut and popped it into her mouth.
He slapped her hand with his chopsticks, "Have you washed your hands? Zhou Chenxing, let me tell you, if I catch you being sloppy and unsanitary again, I’ll throw you into the bathtub for three days, believe it or not?"
She smacked her lips, swiveled her hips, and walked out with the plate, completely unresponsive to his threat. Arriving in the dining room, she started to sneak bites again.
And Gu Shaocheng caught her in the act!
Fury flared within him; no matter how much time passed, her annoying habits were here to stay. An annoying little snotty brat as a child, and still possessing the same wearisome habits as an adult!
Chenxing was licking her thumb. Seeing his fierce expression, she hurriedly stepped back two steps.
Despite the delicious dinner, eating was a pain. She was constantly being lectured on how to "sit properly and eat gracefully", and was pressured into chewing each mouthful 30 times before swallowing. Eventually, she became irritated, "Are you letting me eat or not? Even if you’re upset because I bit you, you can’t starve me. That’s just asking for trouble."
Shaocheng narrowed his eyes at her, "Is that what you call eating? Are you a pig? Wolfing down your food!"
She wouldn’t object, let alone allow her normal meal to be disrupted, it was outrageous! "I’ve been eating like this since I was little, and I’ve grown up just fine, haven’t I?"
He cast her a disdainful glance, "Are you even white? Look in the mirror and see where you’re white."
"You’re the one who’s black!"
He laughed, "At least I’m whiter than certain people."
She gritted her teeth, "You just find fault in everything about me!"
Wasn’t she the one who found fault in everything? All afternoon and evening she wore a sour face. She was incredibly irritable, and getting her to say ’I love you’ was like pulling teeth. Where had the girl who had passionately called out to him from the stage gone?
You really can’t spoil her; the more you dote on her, the more temperamental she gets.
The man, who was inwardly convinced he shouldn’t spoil her anymore, stood up the next moment, pulled her back to her seat, and asked her to sit on his lap. He coaxed her gently, "You should learn how to eat healthily. Be good, it’s for your own good."
