Chapter 64 Men's Schemes
"No!" Chu Xinglan pushed Gu Ye away embarrassedly. She glanced at the living room and saw that Xue Bai and Ye Xiaoxiao were indeed not there. At this moment, a discordant sound came from the kitchen.
"Why are you always following me?" Ye Xiaoxiao gave Xue Bai a cold look.
"Didn't I just want to help tidy up?" Xue Bai said to Ye Xiaoxiao with a grin.
"No need," Ye Xiaoxiao said indignantly.
She had never seen such a shameless man. She had hit him and cursed him, but he was like glue, sticking to her and she couldn't shake him off.
"Why wouldn't I need to? Your hands are so fair and delicate, the oil will hurt them. Let me do it." Xue Bai hurriedly said.
"Okay, you do it." Ye Xiaoxiao threw the dish towel into the sink full of pots and pans, and crossed her arms.
Xue Bai smiled and, sure enough, rolled up his sleeves and began to tidy up.
"Hey you..."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought he was just putting on an act, trying to get close to her, but she didn't expect him to actually make a move, and his movements were very skillful.
Xue Bai was wearing a suit, which made it a bit inconvenient to do things, and it was also difficult to clean if it got dirty. However, Xue Bai didn't care at all and was feeling happy in his heart as he washed it.
He began to imagine their wonderful married life: her cooking, him cleaning up the dishes, a harmonious and loving relationship.
"that……"
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't want him to get his clothes dirty, so she brought over an apron.
Xue Bai was still immersed in his beautiful fantasy, and he became more and more cheerful as he washed his hands.
"Hey!" Ye Xiaoxiao emphasized.
Xue Bai then realized what was happening. He turned around and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, who was holding an apron with an embarrassed expression.
"Wear it so you don't get your clothes dirty." Ye Xiaoxiao awkwardly avoided looking at her.
He usually looks fierce, but this gentle, feminine demeanor towards him secretly pleased Xue Bai.
"My hands are dirty, could you help me tie them?" Xue Bai smiled at Ye Xiaoxiao.
"I'm telling you, don't push your luck! Take it or leave it!" Ye Xiaoxiao's gentleness lasted less than half a minute before she immediately revealed her true colors. She threw the apron aside, turned around, and walked out of the kitchen.
"My hands are really dirty, what's wrong with washing them for me? Why are you so angry?"
Xue Bai muttered to himself, then tied the apron around his neck and continued to happily tidy up the kitchen.
As Ye Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen, she saw Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan standing at the bedroom door, seemingly reluctant to part.
"Should I go into my room to avoid this?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, feeling as if Gu Ye was about to kiss Chu Xinglan any second now.
"Xiaoxiao, you, you mustn't misunderstand." Chu Xinglan was so anxious that she almost stomped her feet. It was all Gu Ye's fault for refusing to leave, which caused Ye Xiaoxiao to misunderstand.
As if she had found a savior, she rushed to Ye Xiaoxiao's side, grabbed her arm, and then politely said to Gu Ye, "Boss, shouldn't you go back now? It's probably not appropriate for you to stay here so late with two girls like us!"
Gu Ye didn't say anything, but simply said towards the kitchen, "Xue Bai, let's go."
Xue Bai, who was almost finished tidying up, had no choice but to take off his apron and come out of the kitchen.
"Okay, boss."
"Wait a moment," Chu Xinglan said as she saw them approach the entrance.
Gu Ye smiled and turned to look at her.
It seems to mean that they don't want me to leave.
"Take your takeout with you," Chu Xinglan whispered.
Xue Bai glanced at Gu Ye. How could he have forgotten this? They were already full and couldn't eat anything else.
"No, thank you!" Gu Ye said, leaving first.
Since the boss said he didn't want it, Xue Bai had no reason to take it with him, so he also left empty-handed.
"Sigh, you guys..."
Chu Xinglan chased after them to the door, but when she saw that they had really left, she didn't know what to do.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, picked up the takeout bag, and opened the beautifully packaged items one by one.
Kobe beef, white truffles, caviar, European lobster...
Ye Xiaoxiao and Chu Xinglan looked at each other incredulously.
They have so many top-quality foods to eat, yet they choose to eat a few ordinary home-cooked dishes? And they even intend to just throw them away?
"It's too extravagant, too wasteful, it's inhuman." Ye Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue and shook her head, she was so shocked that she didn't even know what to say.
"What a waste to throw it away!" Chu Xinglan smacked her lips.
"Why throw it away? Let's keep it for a midnight snack!" Ye Xiaoxiao quickly said.
"You... can still eat?" Chu Xinglan looked at Ye Xiaoxiao strangely.
Ye Xiaoxiao touched her stomach and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I feel full, but I think I could force myself to eat more."
"Let's get started now!" Chu Xinglan excitedly ran to the kitchen and grabbed some bowls and chopsticks.
Gu Ye and Xue Bai returned to their home and sat down on the sofa. Xue Bai looked satisfied, feeling the lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth. Although the dishes were ordinary home-cooked meals, they left him wanting more.
"My wife is so virtuous and kind, even her cooking is so delicious." Immersed in happiness, Xue Bai couldn't help but lean back on the sofa with his hand supporting the back of his head, still savoring the moment with his eyes closed.
Gu Ye glanced at Xue Bai but said nothing.
During the painful years after losing Chu Xinglan, only Xue Bai and his wife remained by his side.
"Boss, you haven't eaten for so many days. I asked Xiaoxiao to make you a few dishes. You should at least try some. If you keep going like this, your body won't be able to take it." Xue Bai whispered to Gu Ye, who was sitting by the window looking out.
"I can't die yet!" Gu Ye muttered to himself, then nodded and struggled to stand up from the chair. Because he hadn't eaten for several days, his body was extremely weak. Xue Bai quickly reached out to help him and led him to the dining table.
"Boss, please check if this suits your taste. If you're not satisfied, I'll make it again," Ye Xiaoxiao said.
"No, that's fine." Gu Ye reluctantly picked up his chopsticks and took two bites.
"Is this taste... alright?" Xue Bai and Ye Xiaoxiao watched Gu Ye nervously, worried that he wouldn't be used to her cooking.
"It's delicious, I really like it."
Hearing Gu Ye say that, the couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then boss, please eat more," Ye Xiaoxiao said with concern.
"Boss?" Xue Bai called out to Gu Ye, "What are you thinking about?"
"Xue Bai, do you want to continue eating the food Ye Xiaoxiao makes?" Gu Ye asked Xue Bai.
"Yes, of course I want to! Boss, do you have a way?" Xue Bai asked excitedly. He really wanted to eat it. Ever since he ate Ye Xiaoxiao's cooking, he probably couldn't eat anyone else's cooking anymore.
"As long as you're shameless, why should you be afraid of those women not being soft-hearted?" Gu Ye smiled faintly.
He's like a demon king pulling the strings behind the scenes.
"I understand. I'll buy the ingredients tomorrow and send them over." Xue Bai understood immediately.
"Not bad, a promising young man!" Gu Ye patted Xue Bai on the shoulder, then got up to go to sleep.
