520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

"You're awake. Wash your hands and eat, or the food will get cold."

Looking at the confused Gu Lingyan, Xiang Huanian stuffed the braised egg into his hand, told him to wash his hands and eat, then returned to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Gu Lingyan was left alone, feeling disheveled.

Did I fall asleep just now?

Gu Lingyan, who knew he had trouble sleeping, looked down at the braised egg he subconsciously took. He couldn't believe that he had actually fallen asleep in the space of a little girl whose background he didn't know...

"Meow~" Give me food~

Lele, who smelled the fragrance, jumped from the cat climbing frame, came to the sofa, and approached the braised egg in Gu Lingyan's hand, acting coquettishly.

"...This is mine! It's too salty for the kitty to eat."

Lele didn't know whether he understood it or not. He licked his lips and was about to grab it.

After Gu Lingyan blurted out this, he felt that he was childish.

But when he saw Lele trying to snatch the food, his brain, which had not yet come to its senses, twitched and he stuffed the braised egg into his mouth in one gulp.

Lele: “…”

The wagging tail instantly dropped and hung behind its butt, as if it could not accept the sudden change that the prey disappeared from its sight.

"Le Le, it's time to eat. Your meal is here!"

"Meow!" Here it comes!

Lele was happy again. It quickly evacuated the scene that made it sad, and ran all the way with cheerful steps, approaching Xiang Huanian rapidly.

Gu Lingyan, who choked on the egg, said: "..."

He covered his mouth with his hands and chewed hard with his cheeks. Finally, he took two big gulps of water before he could swallow the egg.

That's right, when Gu Lingyan got up to wash his hands, he couldn't help but savor the lingering fragrance of the braised egg in his mouth.

There was an egg base, and Gu Lingyan, who had not eaten since the plane landed, was looking forward to the next meal.

Because Lele had just eaten cat food, Xiang Huanian only gave it a taste of pork rib soup with minced meat, which was served before salt was added. An An also had a share, but Xiang Huanian wanted to wait until An An's hair was blown and completely dry before feeding it.

When Xiang Huanian brought the rice and dishes to the table, Gu Lingyan also washed his hands and sat at the table.

The pork rib soup is clear, and the braised pork is rich in oil and sauce, which makes people want to eat rice at first sight. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spicy and sour potato shreds on the side also exude an attractive luster.

however.

"Why am I the only one with dishes and chopsticks? Aren't you going to eat...little girl?"

Gu Lingyan sat down and found that there was only his own food and bowls on the table, so he turned around and asked.

Not knowing Xiang Huanian’s name, Gu Lingyan could only call her “little girl”.

Being called "little sister" by the couple Lin Yunchu and Gu Shaoyu, and now being called "little girl" by Gu Lingyan, Xiang Huanian, who thought that he didn't look that young, said: "..."

"Oh, go ahead and eat. If you're not satisfied, there's more inside. I'll watch them finish eating first."

For reasons she couldn't explain, Xiang Huanian felt that if she and Gu Lingyan sat at the same table to eat, she might not be able to eat or might suffer from indigestion.

So, Xiang Huanian found a decent excuse and squatted beside Lele to check on how it was eating.

I took An An out of the drying box again, touched An An's fur to confirm whether An An's fur was dry, and then fed An An the same pork rib soup without salt.

Taking pity on An An for being soaked like a drowned rat, Xiang Huanian added more meat, eggs and rice to An An's soup.

An An was also very considerate and ate like a whirlwind.

"Okay, I'll wait until you're done feeding me."

Gu Lingyan turned around and stared at Xiang Huanian's thin back with burning eyes, as if he would not eat unless Xiang Huanian ate.

"...No need. If you wait for me, the food will get cold. You eat first." Xiang Huanian was under great pressure, but he fought hard.

"I don't have the habit of letting people who work hard to cook for me eat my leftovers. Take your time. It's so hot out, it's just right for it to cool down."

Gu Lingyan roughly guessed Xiang Huanian's concerns, and with a sudden sense of mischief, he put on a smile, crossed his arms, and looked leisurely at Xiang Huanian, who was squatting on the ground, a small ball not much bigger than a Border Collie puppy.

Xiang Huanian, who was once again refuted by the other party's watertight words, twitched his eyebrows and was about to say something else, but An An below called out.

"Wang!"

Xiang Huanian glanced over and saw that all the food and soup in the dog bowl had been eaten up.

“…”You eat so fast.

It only took a few rounds of conversation, and you finished eating?!

What speed...

But then he thought that it might be because the toad man had not fed An An, so Xiang Huanian decided to put some more eye drops on her employer, Lin Yunchu.

"Is it finished? Then sit down and eat."

Gu Lingyan behind him seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through things, and he urged Xiang Huanian at the most appropriate time.

“…I’m coming.”

Xiang Huanian brought the rice and dishes left for him in the kitchen to the dining table one by one.

When cooking, Xiang Huanian knew how much she ate, so she only left a small plate of food. Then, for the braised pork and pork rib soup, she left a small bowl each according to the amount she wanted to eat in one meal.

Originally, it should have looked quite exquisite, but compared with the three dishes and one soup on the same table, which she arranged and presented perfectly in front of Gu Lingyan, it seemed inexplicably shabby.

Gu Lingyan also frowned and said, "Is this all you're going to eat?"

Xiang Huanian didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile and try to get away with it.

"...I haven't touched the food yet, so take some."

Little did he know that Gu Lingyan inexplicably tasted a bit of bitterness in Xiang Huanian's smile. He pushed the plate of food in front of him in front of Xiang Huanian, motioning her to take some more.

"No, no, this is enough for me. There's more in the braised pork and pork rib soup. If I want more, I can add more. You don't have to take yours."

As he said this, Xiang Huanian carefully pushed the plate back to prevent the soup from spilling.

"...Okay, whatever you want."

Gu Lingyan looked at Xiang Huanian steadily, stopped persuading her, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing that the other party finally focused on eating, Xiang Huanian was relieved and started to eat his own meal.

But, how to say it.

In some cases, even if you are confident in your cooking skills, you may still worry that the dishes you cook may not suit the taste of the guests.

For Xiang Huanian, that is the situation now.

Xiang Huanian thought about it, took a bite of her own dishes first, and after confirming that the taste was the same as usual, her somewhat uneasy heart finally settled down a little. She looked up and wanted to ask Gu Lingyan about his thoughts on the taste.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already eaten nearly a quarter of the meal. He seemed to be eating slowly and politely, but he seemed to be extremely hungry. Every bite could finish a corner of the large portion of food.

That's fine. This way, at least it proves that the dishes I cook are still edible to Gu Lingyan, who has eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea.
