- Chapter 194 - Li Juefeng Can Cook? 2
Li Juefeng suddenly paused while slicing the potatoes, turning to glare at her with a fierce look. “Gu Xiaoai! Step back!”
…
It’s just shredded potatoes, why the temper? No one forced him to do it, so what’s the point of being so unreasonable?
She only asked a question, why the hostility?
Fine, she’ll leave.
It’s not like she wants to be near him anyway.
With a cold expression, Gu Xiaoai turned around to leave, but the sound of the knife slicing through the potatoes resumed behind her-crisp and efficient.
Just like Li Juefeng himself.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, her feet rooted to the spot, unable to move forward.
Gu Xiaoai turned her head to look back. Li Juefeng was focused on cutting the potatoes, his expression serious and absorbed.
Was he harsh with her earlier because he was worried she might get hurt by his knife?
An odd feeling rose within her.
This man was always like this. Every time she was about to hate him to the core, he wasn’t as unbearable as she thought… But just when she started to think he might be alright, he’d ruin his image completely.
With a quiet sigh, Gu Xiaoai was about to leave when her foot accidentally kicked something.
Looking down, she saw three whole bags of peppers-three different varieties, all looking fresh.
…
“What do you want to eat?”
“Spicy, the spicier the better.”
…
Recalling her recent phone conversation with Li Juefeng, Gu Xiaoai glanced at the pile of peppers at her feet, feeling a strange warmth spreading through her heart.
She admitted it; she was easily moved.
Although she still disliked him, today… she’d temporarily forget those unpleasant things and cooperate with him to make a good meal.
After all, the Young Master of the Li Family cooking for her was a huge favor. No one would believe it if she told them.
“Need any help?” she asked, deciding not to leave.
Li Juefeng was washing vegetables at the sink. Hearing her, he looked up, somewhat surprised to see her still there. His lips curled slightly, but his tone remained indifferent. “Housekeeper Tong has already been sent away.”
The implication was clear-did she think she could be more helpful than Housekeeper Tong?
Fine.
Good intentions unappreciated, she’d just wait to eat the meal. Hopefully, it wouldn’t be too terrible.
Knowing his personality, even if he realized the food was awful, he’d make her eat every bit of it.
Her minor ailment could turn into something major…
With a pout, Gu Xiaoai turned and walked out, aimlessly watching the maids bustling around, wandering about.
