Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingqing’s lips were opened slightly and she closed it again before she could say a word. After thinking about it for a while, she lifted her hand and knocked on the door to call Leng Sicheng to go downstairs to eat his breakfast.
Before she could land her hand on the door, the door was opened all of a sudden. Leng Sicheng with an ice-cold face appeared in front of her. Gu Qingqing’s hand was still hanging in the air. When Leng Sicheng stared right at her, she could feel that she was being electrocuted. Immediately, she retracted her hands and put them at her back like a good student.
“Breakfast is ready. You…”
Leng Sicheng did not bother to answer her. He walked past her and went downstairs without saying a word. Gu Qingqing was left in shock. When she saw that Leng Sicheng turned around and walked downstairs, she too followed right behind him.
At the dining area, Leng Sicheng was sitting down and waiting for someone to serve him food. The maid was passing the chopsticks to Leng Sicheng and Gu Qingqing. When Leng Sicheng picked up the spoon and attempted to scoop a spoonful of soup, the maid said something to her.
“Madam is the one that cooked this pot of soup.”
Gu Qingqing became really nervous when she heard what the maid said. Before serving all the dishes on the table, Gu Qingqing had made sure to taste of them. They actually tasted pretty delicious. Gu Qingqing then glanced at Leng Sicheng, he did now show any reaction. He delivered a couple of spoonful of soup into his mouth. After that, he put down the spoon nonchalantly.
Suddenly, Gu Qingqing became really nervous. After all, this was her very first time cooking for Leng Sicheng. She thought Leng Sicheng was going to walk away from her. To her surprise, he picked up the chopsticks and had a taste of the other dishes on the table.
Finally, she could relax. Seconds later, she noticed that Leng Sicheng put down the chopsticks and stared right at her.
Could it be he was about to scold Gu Qingqing?
“Did you poison the food?”
Gu Qingqing shook her head immediately.
“Why are you not eating?”
“Oh… Oh!”
She nodded her head, took a spoonful hot porridge, and put it in her mouth. She was close to choking herself. Immediately, she lowered her head and covered her mouth. She was afraid that Leng Sicheng would see her being so ungraceful. When she lifted up her head, she saw that Leng Sicheng was eating the porridge. He did not even bother to look at her. Disappointed, she continued eating her breakfast.
She would lift up her head from time to time to take some dishes to her bowl and she noticed that Leng Sicheng was eating his breakfast in elegant fashion. It was rare that he did not mock or criticize her. When the sunlight shone on him, she noticed that the ruthless aura that he had was almost all gone.
After eating the entire bowl of porridge, he put down the spoon, and wiped his mouth with the napkin on the table. It was at that time that Secretary Chen rushed to him with the breakfast that he bought in his hand.
“I would have starved to death if I stayed here and waited for you! You can finish the food with the maid!”
“It’s 9 a.m. Finish the breakfast in thirty minutes and meet me after that. If you are late by one minute, you can forget about your salary!”
After that, he walked up the stairs without saying a single word.
For the entire morning, Leng Sicheng and Secretary Chen had a video conference in the room.
It was now afternoon and Secretary Chen wanted to know what Leng Sicheng was going to eat for lunch.
“I don’t like wasting food in my house. Finish whatever food that is left that you bought earlier. I don’t have any appetite recently. Ask them to heat up the porridge and dishes for me.”
