Chapter 554: He Became Polite And Distant (2)
Her smile was aloof, and his words were airy, but there was a hint of blame.
After all, this matter had been on her mind for more than a month, so she was still unable to completely suppress her emotions. In the end, she still said this.
Upon hearing her words, Gu Yu’s eyes flashed with a trace of emotion, and then he said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through. What do you want to eat? Let’s go eat first.”
Sorry?
She had indeed wanted him to apologize, but why did he sound polite and distant when he apologized? In fact, this side of him wasn’t unfamiliar to her.
However… she had experienced Gu Yu’s gentleness, thoughtfulness, and doting. She had also seen Gu Yu’s disdain, indifference, and even hatred. However, she had never thought that one day, he would treat her the way he treated others.
Xu Weilai’s hands, which were hanging by her sides, suddenly tightened.
She slowly swallowed her saliva. After a moment of silence, she nodded. “Okay, let’s eat first. But I don’t want to go out to eat anymore. I’m going to make two bowls of noodles. Just wait for me for a moment.”
After saying this, she didn’t wait for Gu Yu’s reply. She turned around and walked out of the study.
She went to the kitchen and stood where she was. She took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down the anxiety and unease that surged up. At this moment, she might be able to confirm that what Gu Yu was about to say to her wasn’t what she thought it was.
But no matter what it was, she still had to face it in the end.
Xu Weilai opened the fridge and took out vegetables, eggs, and other ingredients. She boiled the water and put in the noodles. After they were slightly cooked and soft, she put in the side dishes.
The warm steam hit her face and made her slightly tear up.
She had finished making the two bowls of noodles and was about to take them out when Gu Yu walked into the kitchen. He reached out his arm and took her hand. “Let me do it.”
Xu Weilai didn’t argue. She retracted her hand and took off her apron. She took the lead and walked out of the kitchen to the dining room. She pulled out the dining chair and sat down.
Gu Yu placed a bowl of steaming hot noodles in front of her and a bowl in front of her. He then pulled out the chair and sat down.
It wasn’t early anymore. It was already past nine o’clock. It was already past Xu Weilai’s meal time.
Her stomach was empty, but she didn’t feel hungry at all. However, on the way back, she did have some food. She was still thinking… after Gu Yu explained everything to her and asked for her forgiveness, they could go out and have a good meal together.
Xu Weilai didn’t eat. Instead, Gu Yu picked up his chopsticks, picked up the noodles, and elegantly took a bite.
A slight frown appeared between his brows and disappeared in an instant. He continued to eat, bite by bite. Even though he was only eating a simple bowl of noodles, his mannerism was still so elegant that it was pleasing to the eye.
Xu Weilai moved her hands in the end. She picked up her chopsticks, picked up the noodles, and took a bite. But very quickly, her beautiful brows furrowed.
Even though it was made by herself, she disliked the taste. Just now, probably because she was in a daze and other factors, she accidentally put in a lot of salt, causing the noodles to be so salty that it was difficult to swallow.
She put down her chopsticks with a smack and reached out to grab Gu Yu’s chopsticks. “Don’t eat anymore. We should either go out and eat or order takeout.”
Xu Weilai remembered that Gu Yu liked lightly salted food. How did he manage to eat the noodles without blinking?
Gu Yu put down the noodles after she said that and nodded. He still asked in an obedient manner, “Do you want to go out and eat? Or do you want to order takeout?”
