Ye Yingying's smile was almost impossible to maintain.

She forced a smile and said, "Brother Tianyou, you didn't care so much about these formalities when Yaoyao was around."

Gu Tianyou narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "This isn't about formalities; it's about propriety!"

"But you weren't like this before..."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. When we, a man and a woman, are alone together, we need to be even more careful about our boundaries."

After saying that, Gu Tianyou turned sideways, walked past Ye Yingying, and headed towards the kitchen.

Looking at the man's indifferent back, Ye Yingying bit her lip. Gu Tianyou, Gu Tianyou, is it that you belatedly want to distance yourself from me, or have you never liked me at all all these years?

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Gu Tianyou saw a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table.

It just doesn't look very appealing.

"Brother Tianyou, please try this. It took me two hours to make."

Ye Yingying composed herself and went into the kitchen, where she saw Gu Tianyou staring at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes she had made.

A joyful smile appeared on her exquisitely made-up face.

Ye Yingying picked up the plate of burnt tomato and egg stir-fry from the table and eagerly placed it in front of Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou frowned as he looked at the charred eggs.

In his mind, he thought of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that Shen Yao had made for him. The eggs were scrambled until golden brown, and the tomatoes were cooked into a rich sauce but still held their shape.

At that time, he even dumped the delicious and colorful tomato and egg stir-fry directly into the trash can.

"Brother Tianyou, don't you like to eat it?" Ye Yingying showed Gu Tianyou her cut finger and looked at him with some grievance.

In the bright kitchen, Gu Tianyou saw that Ye Yingying's face was still covered with black soot from the bottom of the pot, as if she had spent a lot of effort to make this meal.

Glancing at Ye Yingying's injured finger, Gu Tianyou sighed, "If you can't cook, then don't. If you want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, you can ask Auntie to make it."

Ye Yingying's smile froze slightly. Didn't this man notice that her finger was injured?

"Brother Tianyou, I want to cook for you."

"No need, your cooking skills aren't as good as hers." Gu Tianyou ultimately didn't take the scrambled eggs with tomatoes from Ye Yingying's hand, but instead walked straight out of the kitchen.

Ye Yingying held the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in her hands, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

"Not as good as her? Who is she referring to, Shen Yao?" Ye Yingying looked at the burnt tomato and egg stir-fry, a hint of hostility flashing in her eyes.

She turned around angrily and threw the plate, along with the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, directly into the trash can.

"Miss Ye, the young master asked me to deliver..."

The butler was halfway through his sentence when he saw Ye Yingying throw the plate and the scrambled eggs with tomatoes into the trash can, and a barely perceptible look of surprise appeared on his face.

But it only lasted for a moment.

Ye Yingying was surprised that the housekeeper would suddenly appear in the kitchen, so she quickly smiled and stood next to the trash can to cover the discarded plates.

"Did Tianyou call me for something?"

The butler lowered his head slightly, as if he hadn't seen anything just now, and said gently, "Young Master, let me take you home."

Ye Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Gu Tianyou suddenly wanted to eat her scrambled eggs with tomatoes, after all, she had already thrown them in the trash.

"Okay, I'll go pack my things now."

The Mercedes-Benz carrying Ye Yingying drove away. Gu Tianyou stood on the balcony, watching the car disappear into the distance, his gaze gradually turning cold.
