Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 226
Chapter 226 Have You Seen Enough?
Sure enough, they would eat the big fish at noon. Gu Nianbin sliced it open, removed its head and tail, and cut it into small pieces. Each piece was moderately thick and the size was the same. This was a technical job. But Chef Gu was good at it! It was not a problem for him at all.
Du Xiaoxian opened her big dark eyes and watched her excellent Young Master cooking fish dishes without blinking. The man’s concentrated expression was so handsome! His side profile was perfect. His lips were slightly pursed, showing a graceful curve. His nose was high and his eyes were as deep as the sea. It made the little girl simply dumbfounded.
Gu Nianbin had always been the most handsome person in the world in her heart. She had thought of him in this way for a long time. She usually didn’t pay much attention to this. When she looked at him carefully at the moment, she felt her heart pounding like a thousand fawns running about in tiny steps in it. Her face unconsciously turned a little hot.
Gu Nianbin looked at the fish in his hand and asked her, “Have you seen enough?”
Du Xiaoxian let out “Ah!” She slightly flustered and took a step back and said, “I am not looking at you.”
Gu Nianbin raised his head. “So you’re looking at me. I thought you were looking at the fish!”
The little girl went even more embarrassed. She blushed and stammered, “I, I was looking at the fish!” To conceal her panic, she hurriedly asked, “What kind of fish is this?”
Gu Nianbin thought she was funny and stopped teasing her. “It’s a grouper,” he said. “It’s tender and delicious.”
Du Xiaoxian asked, “Why is it called grouper?”
Gu Nianbin said, “Because it has a lot of spots on its body. The body is covered in small scales and looks like a rock. So it’s called grouper. This kind of fish eats small fish and shrimp. It’s rich in protein and it’s very nutritious. You should eat more later.”
The little girl’s eyes lit up again and she looked at him with admiration. “Brother, you know so much.”
“Call me husband.” President Gu coaxed her, “If you call me husband, I’ll cook delicious food for you.”
The little girl was simple-minded but she wasn’t stupid. She knew that even if she didn’t do it, he would still cook food for her. She was too shy to call him husband.
Gu Nianbin did not force her either. The corners of his lips curled into a smile as if he was planning some bad idea. But the little girl could not see it. Her eyes were filled with admiration and expectation.
The fish was too big. Half of it had already filled three dishes. The rest was kept in the fridge for dinner.
The cooking method was simple. A small pot of plain broth with all kinds of seasonings was prepared. After being put into the pot, the fish could be eaten with a little sauce. It was like eating instant-boiled mutton.
Du Xiaoxian thought that there were only fish dishes. But Gu Nianbin prepared a dish of stir-fried choy sum and a small pot of delicious white rice. He also brought a dish of colorful fruit salad like a magic trick. The meal was simple. But the grouper was delicious, the choy sum was light, and the salad was refreshing. The little girl was pleasantly surprised. She couldn’t help but eat too much again.
Gu Nianbin had no choice but to accompany her upstairs and downstairs for a few rounds. Then she slowly felt better.
At noon, the sun was the most scorching and people were the most tired. Du Xiaoxian was sleepy and shouted for sleep. President Gu was eager to go back to his room with the little girl with a smile.
The little girl was really sleepy. When she got to bed, her breathing was shallow and she was in deep sleep in just two or three minutes. President Gu was enthusiastic like fire, but he still couldn’t arouse her.
The man looked at her angrily, wishing he could slap her awake. But he was reluctant to do so in the end.
The little girl’s sleeping face was very beautiful. Her dark hair scattered across her face, making her skin as white as jade. Her long eyelids occasionally trembled, like the thin wings of dragonflies. Her beauty made Gu Nianbin fascinated. He smiled helplessly. He gently brushed away the little girl’s hair and slept too with his eyes closed.
After an unknown amount of time, a faint rumbling sound came from the sky. It was like light thunder. But it soon arrived near. The rain instantly fell like thousands of troops descending from the sky and galloping endlessly. The two of them almost woke up at the same time.
The little girl was a little scared and curled up in the man’s arms. “It’s raining heavily. Let’s go back.”
Gu Nianbin stroked her back and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. The rain comes and goes quickly. There is often severe convective weather at sea. It will be fine in a while. It’s not good to start the boat now.”
Du Xiaoxian was still fearful. Her body trembled slightly as she listened to the loud noise from outside. In front of the great nature, everyone would be in fear. Gu Nianbin sat up and hugged her in his arms. He comforted her. “It’s fine. It’s safe here. I’m here. It’s fine.”
Although he said it was fine, this kind of storm was really extraordinary. The yacht swayed like a small boat in the strong wind and rain. Du Xiaoxian’s heart trembled. She habitually wanted to grab Gu Nianbin’s clothes on his chest. But the man was topless. She grabbed nothing. So she could only hug his neck tightly.
The heavy rain poured down the ramp and flooded into the room. Du Xiaoxian was even more panicked when she saw it. She asked inexplicably, “This boat won’t sink, right?”
Gu Nianbin smiled and teased her, “So you’re so afraid of death.”
The little girl was frank. “Aren’t you afraid of it?”
Gu Nianbin looked at her and said seriously, “If I could die with you, I wouldn’t be afraid.”
This made… the little girl’s eyes turn red with emotion. She covered the man’s mouth and said, “Nonsense, we won’t die here.”
Gu Nianbin took the little girl’s hand and said, “Look into my eyes.”
With such a close distance, the little girl was a little shy. She dodged her gaze twice and obediently gazed at the man’s eyes.
“Do you believe me?”
“Yes.”
“We’ll definitely be fine, do you understand?”
Looking at the man’s resolute gaze, the little girl nodded seriously. “Yes, I do.”
Gu Nianbin smiled happily and kissed the little girl on the forehead. “Do you still want to sleep? It’s the most comfortable time to sleep when it rains.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cracking sound and purple lightning emerged outside the porthole, startling Du Xiaoxian. She hugged Gu Nianbin’s neck tightly and gasped, “I’m not sleeping anymore.”
This heavy rain made Du Xiaoxian feel isolated from the world. But she didn’t feel lonely. She was used to being alone. She had Gu Nianbin now. She felt he was a gift from the heavens. Although she was a little scared, there were only the two of them on the vast ocean. There was no need to worry about anything and they were closer than usual.
She occasionally pouted her lips and gently touched his neck. At this moment, Gu Nianbin had become a gentleman who could not be seduced by a woman. He was indifferent to the little girl’s seduction. He just hugged her gently and spoke in a soft voice.
About half an hour later, the rain suddenly stopped. As Gu Nianbin had said, it came and went quickly. As soon as the rain stopped, the dark clouds instantly moved away. The sun once again appeared. As the sun shone, the sea surface was sparkling and slightly dazzling. Moreover, there was a rainbow in the sky. It was red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The colors were as clear as if it was painted on the sky.
Du Xiaoxian was overjoyed. She jumped on the deck and shouted loudly for Gu Nianbin to see. Gu Nianbin held two bottles of water in his hand and slowly walked over. He looked up at the rainbow in the air and was also a little surprised. Such a huge and clear rainbow was truly unexpected.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” The little girl held his arm and said, “I found it. Isn’t it beautiful?”
There was a hint of seeking rewards in her tone. Gu Nianbin couldn’t help but laugh. Such a big rainbow could be seen by anyone. However, President Gu indulged her and nodded in praise. “How amazing! It has been discovered by you.”
The little girl was immersed in happiness and didn’t listen carefully at all. She looked rather complacent. Her manner was simply too cute. The corner of President Gu’s mouth rose, revealing the nature of the big grey wolf. If he continued to restrain himself, he would really get hurt.
It was a pity that the little girl didn’t notice his intention until she was pressed down. She finally figured it out. However, it was too late. She couldn’t stop him. But they were outside. Although there wasn’t anyone else, there were seagulls flying and dolphins leaping, with blue skies, white clouds, and a fiery red sun…
Since there was no one aside, President Gu made love with her as he pleased with all his might, causing the little girl to shout loudly. Her voice went far away with the wind. “I will never go out to sea again…”
After enjoying a sexual feast, the man was satisfied. He carried the weak and lazy little girl back to the room to take a bath. He even kindly found a long T-shirt for her. Du Xiaoxian looked at him angrily, “Didn’t you say that there were no other clothes on the ship other than bikinis?”
The man chuckled and said, “I only said that I would take you out to sea when you agreed to put on bikinis. I didn’t say that there was nothing else but the bikini.”
“You,” the little girl said angrily, “you clearly didn’t say that.”
Her little mouth pouted so beautifully that it was as tender as a flower bud. President Gu’s heart itched as he moved closer and was pushed away by the little girl.
He smiled playfully. “Don’t be angry. I’ll cook something delicious for you tonight.”
Du Xiaoxian wasn’t really angry with him. She just felt that he was too crazy sometimes, making her almost go crazy with him. After that, she always felt so ashamed and thought that she was a bad woman.
“I’ll accompany you to watch the stars at night, okay? The stars appear more beautiful when we watch them at sea. There’s a telescope on the deck. With it, we can see very far away. There are hundreds of millions of stars in the resplendent Milky Way. We can see Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s cloud belts, and the waxing and waning of Venus. In short, it’s very beautiful.”
“Really?” The little girl got interested again and thought if she could see which star her mother was on?
“Of course. After dinner, we’ll go up to the deck and look at the stars. I’ll teach you how to recognize constellations. It’ll be fun.”
The little girl could not bear the kindness of others. She forgot about what happened just now. She put her slender arms around the man’s neck and said softly, “You are so kind.”
President Gu smiled brightly. His little girl was simple and easy to coax.
As he spoke, his phone rang. This was the first time since they traveled south that Gu Nianbin’s phone had ringed. He had a new cellphone number. Only Zhou Ting and Shao Boqing knew it. They wouldn’t make a call if it wasn’t important.
The call was from Shao Boqing. His voice was calm. But what he said surprised Gu Nianbin.
“Nianbin, the funds for the second phase of the Eco-Park haven’t been transferred to Jiang Group. Jiang Group sent us an official letter. But I can’t reach Gu Nianjing.”
Gu Nianbin frowned, “Is Gu Nian’an there?”
“He was still here last Friday. But he didn’t come today.”
Gu Nianbin looked out of the window. There were blue sky and white clouds. It was a lovely day. However, he vaguely felt that something bad was about to happen. He was silent for a moment and said, “I’ll be right back.”
