"Would you please rate these dishes in terms of color, aroma, and flavor?"

Gu Yu looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and then glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin, who was sitting opposite him, looking at him expectantly with her big, shining eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Ren Guyu was usually very smooth-talking, but in front of several plates of "delicacies" that vividly demonstrated what colorful black was, he racked his brains and didn't know how to express himself for a long time.

Color, aroma and taste, color and aroma, give up, only taste is left,

But with the color and fragrance, how good can the taste be?

After taking another look at Zhong Xiaoqin's innocent and sweet face, Gu Yu continued to mentally prepare himself.

Some things smell bad but taste good. Xiaoqin's food may not look good, but it may taste good.

Gu Yu tried his best not to let his chopsticks show any trembling. He picked up a piece of pork from the stir-fried meat. He couldn't tell whether it was green pepper or pork.

I put it into my mouth with all my strength.

Hiss~ It’s ginger slices!

Gu Yu's expression froze, and he took a mouthful of white rice.

"That's a little too much soy sauce. Xiaoqin, why did you suddenly invite me to dinner and cook for me yourself? Is there something going on?"

Gu Yu remained calm and brought up a topic to divert Zhong Xiaoqin's attention.

"That...that..."

Sure enough, Zhong Xiaoqin stopped staring at Gu Yu, trying to read his reaction to the dishes from his face.

Instead, he lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look directly at Gu Yu.

Zhong Xiaoqin felt that Zhong Xiaoyang's incident was caused by herself, and Gu Yu was implicated by her.

In addition, Zhong Xiaoyang had brought this upon himself, and he broke the law without restraint, so it was normal for Gu Yu to retaliate a little. She knew Gu Yu's power.

But after meeting with Mr. and Mrs. Zhong today, seeing how Mr. Zhong pretended to be strong and how sad and distressed Mrs. Zhong was, Zhong Xiaoqin did soften her heart.

Especially when Zhong's mother mentioned that Zhong Xiaoyang's sister who passed away early had the same name as her, she just regarded Mr. Xu's words as concern and consolation, without thinking deeply.

Given Zhong Xiaoqin's life experience and kind and simple personality, it is hard to believe that most of what Zhong's parents did in front of her was a performance with a purpose.

"Today, Zhong Xiaoyang's parents came to the company to see me. His mother was crying so hard, and his father also looked very sad and helpless.

They are all very sorry for what Zhong Xiaoyang did and for not being able to educate their children well..."

Zhong Xiaoqin put her two fair little hands together and rubbed them nervously from time to time. She raised her head and glanced quickly to observe Gu Yu's expression, then immediately lowered her head.

"It's because of Zhong Xiaoyang. I thought Xiaoqin cooked for me on purpose."

Gu Yu was silent for a second or two, then spoke with a tone of loss.

"No! No! I've always wanted to cook for you, but I never had the chance.

I am not as virtuous as Jia Jia, who is good at cooking and can do everything. I originally wanted to study for a while longer. "

Zhong Xiaoqin waved her hands in panic and explained hastily,

"I know. Although today's dish still has some room for improvement, the meaning is different. I have already felt your intentions."

Gu Yu smiled and held Zhong Xiaoqin's delicate hand, his voice gentle and sincere.

"What...what's your intention? Don't talk nonsense. I just feel sorry.

Also, Jiajia is busy running a dessert shop, and as her best friend, I help take care of her. We can’t always eat out, right? It’s unhealthy.

Zhong Xiaoqin's pretty face flushed, and she pulled her hand away, still trying to cover up her mistake, making a somewhat confusing excuse.

She had somewhat forgotten that she had been with Chen Yu for three years and had never thought of cooking a meal herself. She had always been spoiled by her parents and was indeed the type who never had to do housework.

If we look at it from this perspective alone, Chen Yu has also endured a lot. The two of them wash clothes separately and do other daily things, which slowly drives their marriage towards separation.

"I didn't pay much attention to Zhong Xiaoyang's case. I left it to my assistant and lawyer to handle."

Gu Yu did not pursue the matter relentlessly. A good hunter is always good at grasping the rhythm of hunting.

"He has bad intentions towards you, which I cannot forgive. According to my assistant's report, Zhong Xiaoyang will most likely be sentenced to three years in prison, which is already a light punishment."

Gu Yu continued, his face calm, his casual tone revealing the authority of a superior.

"I am also angry and disgusted by his behavior, not for him, but for his parents.

Today, when I saw them repeatedly bowing to me to apologize and even kneeling down, I couldn't help but think of my parents.

He should be punished for his mistakes, but Zhong Xiaoyang had just graduated and was still young, so it was normal for him to be immature.

Just consider that his parents love him dearly and give him another chance and punish him less severely."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin felt a sense of sweetness and protection, and her voice became softer.

"How can parents not know what their children are like? Zhong Xiaoyang has such a personality and the way he handles things, his parents cannot escape blame," Gu Yu said in a deep voice.

"I know, but I just can't bear it. Why don't you take some time to meet Zhong Xiaoyang's parents? They also want to apologize to you in person."

Seeing Gu Yu's unhappy expression, Zhong Xiaoqin was even more cautious. She bit her lower lip lightly, took the initiative to stretch out her right hand to hold Gu Yu's left hand, and looked at Gu Yu with pleading and hopeful eyes.

"Since you don't care, why should I be the bad guy? I will decide after I meet Zhong Xiaoyang's parents. Besides, I will not allow him to harass your life anymore."

Gu Yu sighed and felt relieved.

"It's not that I don't care, it's just that I have someone I care about in my heart, so other things don't matter.

Thank you, Gu Yu, for always accompanying me and protecting me. It would have been great if I had known you earlier."

Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly couldn't control her emotions. She walked behind Gu Yu, gently hugged him, and leaned her head on his broad back, murmuring softly,

Gu Yu didn't say anything, but gently patted Zhong Xiaoqin's hand around his neck.

The restaurant fell silent for a while, and neither of them spoke. The distance between their hearts became a little closer at this moment.

In the end, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't touch the food that she had carefully prepared. After taking a bite and spitting it out, she stopped Gu Yu from taking more food.

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin's disappointment and self-blame, Gu Yu took the initiative to suggest that they cook another dinner together.

Zhong Xiaoqin helped, and Gu Yu, the chef, selected the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator. Tomatoes, eggs, minced meat, eggplant, and vegetable and tofu soup were quickly served.

In the warm atmosphere, Gu Yu naturally stayed in the Platinum Mansion.

After dinner and a bath, the two sat on the sofa and watched TV, getting closer and closer. The TV on the screen was "A Beautiful Mind".

After an unknown scene, Zhong Xiaoqin lazily leaned in Gu Yu's arms. The two watched the movie quietly without any further action.

At night, they slept in their respective rooms. Gu Yu found that there were more of his belongings in the room this time.
