In the office, Lin Che gleefully said to him, “Take a guess . What do you think I brought?”
Gu Jingze turned to stand behind his desk and looked across it . Lin Che leaned over the office table until her face was close to his . Her mysterious ways were adorable even though she was already a mother of two, had her own studio and company, and was no longer the silly young lady . In the eyes of others, she was a successful person but she was still a child at heart .
Seeing how close she was to his face, he gave her a peck on the lips .
“You being here is already a surprise . There’s not a need to bring anything . ”
Lin Che’s heart skipped a beat . She felt it pounding .
“Annoying . Stop teasing me . ” She pursed her lips and said, “But I already brought it here . ”
“What?” he asked .
She got serious and commanded, “Only praises, not one bit of disdain!”
“Oh, this comes with an order as well . ”
“No no, it’s a must . No disdain!”
“Alright, alright . No disdain and it must be praised . ” He was amused by her demeanor .
There was still an order to give compliments, eh?
But it was not easy to earn his praise .
However, if it was her, getting forced for a bit was just as well .
In this world, only she could give such a command to him .
In an instant, a small little bento box was placed in front of him .
He was surprised for a moment and looked at her without saying a word . His face showed worry . “Must I compliment it?”
Lin Che pouted . “What kind of face is that? So reluctant!”
If it was other things, perhaps he could still believe that she could do it well . But…
It was cooking .
He predicted it would not be easy to give compliments .
He said, “It’s… not impossible . If it’s a lie, it’s just gibberish . ”
“Y-y-you…”
Lin Che was maddened by him and stretched her arm out towards him . Seeing him laugh, she punched his chest . “You get lost . It’s not that scary . It must be nice since the chef watched me do it . ”
“Alright alright . Why are you so worked up? I believe you . ”
She scoffed and looked at him threateningly . Her eyes seemed to warn that if he were to show any signs of disdain, he would have to watch out .
The bento box was opened slowly .
Upon seeing the insides, Gu Jingze said immediately, “The presentation is not bad . ”
Lin Che nodded . “That is true . ”
“Did you really make this?”
“Oh, you dare to doubt me?” Lin Che shot him a look .
“No no . ” Gu Jingze laughed awkwardly . Seeing Lin Che bringing the chopsticks over, he hurriedly said, “Alright alright, won’t it be easy once I start eating?”
Lin Che stared at him .
He lifted his head . “How am I supposed to eat when you’re staring at me like this?”
Lin Che shot him a second look . “Why aren’t you eating? Hurry up and eat for me . ”
Gu Jingze laughed at the sight of her resembling a tiger .
“Okay okay, I will eat . ”
With a mouthful, he felt that it did not taste as bad as he thought it would be .
At least, it was better than her previous attempts . It was much better this time and definitely edible .
It seemed like it would not poison someone to death .
He ate in mouthfuls as Lin Che watched from the side . It was only when he finished everything that she clapped her hands in glee .
Seeing her being finally satisfied, Gu Jingze asked, “Can I put the chopsticks down now?”
“Oh-oh, you can start complimenting . ” Lin Che put her hands on her waist and replied .
Gu Jingze looked like he was in agony .
Lin Che immediately shot him a look for the third time .
Gu Jingze said, “Okay okay okay . My wife is really beautiful and generous, kind and adorable, and does everything well . ”
He leaned over the table and pulled her over .
“Hey hey, what are you doing?”
Lin Che struggled to get away as she fell into his embrace when she got pulled over .
He hugged her and said, “My compliments can’t be compared to how much I love you . ”
He bit her neck .
“Hey, you’re biting the hand that fed you . ”
“No, I’m just not feeling full yet . It was nice food but not as nice as eating you . ”
As he hugged and kissed her, Lin Che’s body trembled as her neck got tickled . She kept saying, “Let go, let go, let go . Gu Jingze, you’re tickling me to death . ”
Gu Jingze let go of her and looked at her face . “Thank you . ”
He became serious in an instant and she was at a loss of what to do .
Gu Jingze tugged onto her . “You’re treating me well . ”
Lin Che lowered her head in embarrassment . “Is this well?”
“Of course . ”
“But I’ve never made a meal for you before . ”
“You don’t have to . It’s the thoughts that count . ”
“However, other wives always cook up meals for them… How about I cook proper meals for you in future?”
“No, I don’t want to tire you out . ” He kissed her hand . “Your hands are nice to look at, so I don’t want you to be slogging it out in the kitchen every day . ”
Lin Che’s heart became weak again .
However, she frowned at him and threatened, “You sure it’s not because the food is too terrible and you don’t want to have it anymore?”
“…” Gu Jingze chuckled . “You’ve become smart now . ”
“…” Lin Che was stunned for a moment and she only reacted later .
What he had meant was that she had cleverly guessed correctly .
That meant that what she said was right .
Lin Che put on her fiercest look . “Gu Jingze!”
“Alright alright . I’ll stop teasing you . It wasn’t bad . I liked it . ”
Actually, it did not matter what he ate . He was full if she could come and he could see her .
It was more fulfilling if he had the chance to eat what she prepared .
He said, “But, I meant what I said . I don’t want you to tire out . You don’t have to worry about me . I can take care of myself . I know my limits . ”
“I don’t think you do . ” Lin Che looked at him and sighed . “Look at you . You haven’t had lunch right?”
“I…”
Lin Che continued, “You’re already more forgetful than I am and men have a shorter lifespan than women . If you don’t start cherishing yourself… Then in the future, do you wish to leave me all alone in this world?”
Thinking about this, Lin Che was suddenly horrified .
She could not imagine a life without him . What meaning was there if she had to live life by herself?
Gu Jingze was silent . He looked at Lin Che and slowly went closer . He caressed her hands and his chin touched her forehead .
Any other warnings would not work but this very sentence was etched deeply in his heart .
“Alright, I promise you . I’ll have proper meals . ”
She smiled gently .
The two of them stayed in the office for quite some time before Lin Che left .
Gu Jingze said, “But there are indeed improvements in your cooking . You see, I’m still alive . I didn’t get poisoned to death . Which means it’s still alright…”
“Get lost!”
She must have married a fake husband .
