Chapter 847 - 850: Jingru and Wuqing Joyfully Tie the Knot 9
He suddenly felt very apologetic.
He was supposed to have arrived a few hours ago, but a last-minute matter had called him back to the Gu Family estate, and in his flurry, he’d forgotten to call and warn her; he hadn’t expected that she would be naively waiting for him to have dinner.
For the first time, someone had lit a lamp, with the sole purpose of waiting for him to come home for a meal.
A lamp, a house, a woman waiting for him to come home to eat.
Originally, because he had been dealing with some affairs of the Gu Family, he wasn’t in a good mood while driving home that evening. However, seeing this scene, the corners of his lips unwittingly curved into a warm smile.
The creases in his heart seemed as if they’d been smoothed out by an iron.
A unique feeling emerged, sweet and warm. All of his troubles, upon seeing this scene, vanished in an instant.
Was this the magic of home?
He didn’t know.
He’d rarely had the chance to experience it before.
He didn’t know about others, but just for this moment, he wished he could give her the best and most beautiful things in the world. Just for this moment, he wished even more that he could immediately cure his illness.
He couldn’t bear to let her go to hell; he wanted to live happily with her on Earth.
For a lifetime, from black-haired to white-haired, from rosy cheeks to a face full of wrinkles.
Forever and ever, never to part.
Gu Shaocheng, feeling cheerful, took off his coat and carefully draped it over her shoulders.
He unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, rolling them up to his elbows.
In the silent house at night, he returned to the kitchen carrying two plates of cold seafood. Cooking, especially for a loved one, was definitely a pleasure. Opening the fridge in the kitchen, he found some fresh vegetables. The man took to cooking himself, willingly busying himself in the kitchen.
The man, in high spirits, made a couple of phone calls while bustling about.
After hanging up the phone, the light that shone on his face, layer upon layer of thick, unabating warmth, was as if it was free, unabashedly radiating outward.
Just then, another call came in. Hua Hua babbled on the phone about something, but he had no interest in asking. After a while, Hua Hua seemed to sense something and curiously asked, "Bro, what are you doing?"
"Frying dishes."
"Frying dishes? Did all the Gu Family’s chefs collectively take leave? It’s actually your turn to cook in person?"
"Mhm, I’m not at home. I’m somewhere else," his lips unveiled a gentle smile, and his tone was extraordinarily tender, "Making it for Chenxing."
"Where are you at? I want some too." Hua Hua clamored on the phone, "Bro, I’m starving. I didn’t eat enough tonight. Tell me where you are, and I’ll come mooch off you right now."
How could he let outsiders disturb his little happiness in such a good time?
He resolutely ignored her.
Hua Hua persisted, "Bro, where the hell are you? Make some extra food, I’ll be right there."
"Scram, egg." Gu Shaocheng gave her two words, "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now."
But Hua Hua would not give in so easily; she played cute, rolled over, and had no shame in trying to get a meal cooked by her brother, her integrity shattered. Gu Shaocheng, without a hint of mercy, cut off her whimpering fake sobs by hanging up and turning off his phone the next second. The world finally quieted down.
Chenxing was pulled back into reality from her dreams by the scent of food wafting into her nostrils. As her eyes snapped open, the scattered purple tulip petals all over the floor nearly made her mistake herself for a fairy who had intruded into a purple kingdom.
