Chapter 493 - There’s Something I Need to Tell You (1/2)

A contract?

So their relationship was nothing but a contract?

Xiao Luo laughed sardonically. It seems like he had been too invested in his role as a husband that he had forgotten this woman saw him as nothing more than a back-up plan. He was quickly reminded that their marriage would immediately come to an end when she met a suitable man.

“I know,” he replied and then headed straight in the direction of the kitchen.

Su Li was understandably glum. She had really expected the man to show a little more emotional response—even rage would have put her more at ease. But his lack of emotion only made her think that he did not care about their marriage at all.

She heaved a sigh, then asked, “What are you doing here?”

“She’s hungry, so I came over to make her something.” Xiao Luo had already started busying himself in the kitchen.

Su Li put aside the unease in her heart. Her face devoid of expression, she said, “I’m hungry, too, so please make me something as well. Thanks!”

She immediately turned her attention back to the book after she spoke, as if she did not need Xiao Luo’s response.

Xiao Luo shook his head, helpless. It was no trouble making an extra set, actually. Plus, he was using her kitchen and her ingredients, so making it for her was the right thing to do.

Her larder was packed with foodstuff; there was every sort of meat and vegetable one could think of, all thanks to the hard work that Aunt Lee had put in.

He made Gu Qianxue steak and a sunny-side up. For Su Li, he prepared some bananas, oatmeal, blueberries, kiwi. He had explicitly composed the meals according to their tastes. After all, the former loved meat, while the latter paid more attention to maintaining her figure. On top of that, the mix of fruits he had prepared for Su Li was also a combination he had frequently seen Aunt Lee prepare, so he had naturally memorized it as time passed.

“Why is mine a kiwi banana smoothie?” Su Li put down her book and looked at the supper in front of her eyes.

“Isn’t this what you like?”

Xiao Luo raised a brow. “Would you like this steak instead? I don’t remember you liking meat.”

He actually knows what I like to eat!?

Su Li felt her heart jump, but she could not let her emotions show so blatantly. “Who said I liked this? I like taro paste,” she said.

“Then I’m very sorry, but I guess you’re going to have to make do with this.”

Xiao Luo left after saying that. He did not want to keep Gu Qianxue waiting for too long.

She had been quite moved at first, but Xiao Luo’s actions left her speechless, and she was so infuriated that she was no longer hungry.

“Huh, a kiwi banana smoothie? Who made this, was it Xiao Luo?” Shen Qingyan said. She had just come down after taking a shower and had already changed into Su Li’s pajamas. The moment she saw the supper on the table, her eyes started gleaming.

“What makes you think I wasn’t the one who made it?” Su Li asked sharply.

Shen Qingyan laughed. “Li, you’re pretty much an idiot when it comes to cooking. You sure you’re not joking with me?” she said.

Su Li wasn’t in the mood for conversation. She bit her ruby red lips and went back to reading her book again.

“Are you drinking it? I’ll drink it if you don’t.” Shen Qingyan was a little peckish.

“You have it. I don’t want it.” Su Li glared at her.

Shen Qingyan did not stand on ceremony. She scooped up a spoonful. “Wow, this is pretty good. Xiao Luo’s not too bad a cook; this is better than the stuff your nanny makes. It seems like I have him in the wrong place. He shouldn’t be in sales; he should be in the kitchen in the company cafeteria,” she gushed.

“You’re using my man as a mess cook? Are you looking to get whooped?”

Su Li picked up the cushion on the sofa and hurled it towards Shen Qingyan.
