The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage - Chapter 932
Chapter 932: Is This Dark Cuisine?
Lin Che looked at him sweetly. “You’re so glib-tongued. Are you doing this so that I will agree to whatever request you have in mind?”
“That’s right.” Gu Jingze replied, “Serve me well tonight, you hear me?”
“…”
Lin Che looked at him and thought about how he did not want to seek treatment for her sake.
She thought that there really was no need for that but deep down, she understood that he really, really doted on her.
This huge bag of food was nothing but when he shouldered so many things for her, it seemed much heavier…
The two of them returned to the villa.
Gu Jingze also wanted to experience grocery shopping with Lin Che. It made him feel at peace and that they were just two ordinary people living ordinary lives.
Because ever since he was a child, he was far from ordinary.
Thus, getting to spend time like this made him very happy.
Because of this, he did not make his subordinates help to carry. They stayed far away as quiet as possible.
When they reached the villa, the maids saw Gu Jingze carry the groceries in while Lin Che followed nonchalantly.
The maids quickly took over.
Gu Jingze turned to Lin Che. “Didn’t you say you want to cook? I’m leaving it up to you.”
Lin Che immediately responded, “Of course. You have my word.”
The maids watched the couple go in and thought, This wife actually made the head of the Gu family her slave.
This was preposterous.
Gu Jingze was the master and had never done anything menial. To make him do such a thing to Gu Jingze, her husband, the head of the Gu family, it was total disrespect.
Lin Che watched Gu Jingze go into their room. She took out her phone and quickly looked for a recipe.
Just as she thought, cooking seafood seemed very simple.
She chuckled and saved the recipe. Then, she began cooking.
She prepared the water, ginger and some miscellaneous ingredients. Finally, she placed the seafood on top and steamed it.
When Gu Jingze came out, he saw Lin Che staring intensely at the pot. He chuckled and said, “Be careful not to get too close. It might explode.”
“What… No way.” Lin Che immediately retreated in fear.
Gu Jingze looked at her and burst into laughter.
Lin Che looked at him speechlessly. “Y-Y-You… You tricked me. Hmph!”
Gu Jingze walked to her and said, “It’s only because you’re stupid that you fall for it all the time.”
Lin Che grunted and said, “I’m being serious. I’m seriously preparing food. Come, come. I think it’s ready. Let’s taste it.”
Gu Jingze frowned, “What do you mean you think it’s ready…”
“It’s exactly what I meant!” Lin Che retorted with her hands on her hips.
Gu Jingze laughed again. She looked like a gangster when she was like that and it was especially interesting.
He said, “Fine fine fine. It’s cooked, it must be cooked. Let’s eat.”
There wouldn’t be a problem if the seafood was a little undercooked anyway.
Gu Jingze helped her take the seafood out. She even specially chose some garnish and a nice plate. She took a picture with her phone and uploaded it on her Weibo. She said, “Look at how your goddess is living it up here.”
After that, some netizens noticed something different. They asked if Lin Che was in M Nation as her phone showed the location.
Some said that the background looked pretty and the kitchen looked huge. It must have been a villa.
Some said that the plate looked pretty and exquisite.
In any case, nobody commented on the seafood she made!
Lin Che pouted. Gu Jingze said, “Alright, your phone has had its fill. It’s time for us to eat.”
“Heh heh. Okay, let’s eat.”
Lin Che took a crab for Gu Jingze. She beamed at him. “Try it. See if it’s good.”
Gu Jingze was filled with anticipation as he took the crab.
Lin Che blinked. “How is it?”
Gu Jingze took a bite and paused.
Lin Che asked anxiously, “Well, how is it?”
Gu Jingze said, “Yes… It’s not bad.”
“Really?” Lin Che heard this and quickly picked a slipper lobster with her chopsticks.
The meat looked fresh and succulent. This boosted Lin Che’s confidence. However…
The moment she put it in her mouth, she was overwhelmed with bitterness and a hint of sourness.
It was awful…
She spat it out on the table and looked at Gu Jingze. She frowned and asked him, “Why does it taste so bad?”
However, Gu Jingze continued eating as if it did not make him want to puke.
Was the crab different?
She took a crab for herself and ate it.
It tasted the same as the slipper lobster…
Lin Che was depressed. “Okay, don’t eat it anymore. It’s so awful. How can you eat it…”
Gu Jingze looked at her and took back the crab leg. He said to her, “It’s okay. It’s already cooked and it’s not that bad.”
“But it’s really horrible. Seriously, I followed every step in the recipe and it looked promising. It was such a simple process. How could it…”
“This is a matter of talent. Don’t mull over it.” Gu Jingze held her hand. “Also, I’ve eaten almost everything. One meal like this is no big deal. The taste doesn’t matter. What matters is that I like it and that’s enough.”
Lin Che pouted as she looked at him. “You like it? What’s there to like about this?”
Gu Jingze’s eyes were passionate. “I like that you cooked for me.”
“…”
Gu Jingze said, “Buying things, bringing things back, and putting in effort to cook things. All these are things that regular couples do. I’m already very happy to see you cook for me. It doesn’t matter whether the food turns out good or bad. I just like watching you do things for me. I like this feeling.”
His words flowed over her like warm water, flushing away the anxiety in her heart.
She looked at Gu Jingze and wonder what she ever did to deserve such a good husband who loved and doted on her so much. He treated her like a precious gem. It was as if he would like and think well of anything she did.
Lin Che said, “Let’s eat, then.”
Gu Jingze said, “Okay. You don’t have to eat this. I can cook for you and we’ll eat together.”
Lin Che said, “No. We’re husband and wife and we’ll share all the joy and pain together. I can’t let you eat this alone.”
She looked at the food on the table and thought to herself agonizingly. She had to finish this monstrosity that she created with her own hands…
As the two of them ate, they looked at each other. Even if the food was bad, they felt a lot better.
After eating, Lin Che finally let out a sigh. “Ah, well. I’m never going to cook again.”
Gu Jingze replied, “Then don’t.”
“But other wives cook for their husbands. If I don’t, I’m not living up to my responsibilities.”
Gu Jingze said, “It’s alright. You’re already tasty enough. I can just eat you.”
