Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“We’re not boyfriend and girlfriend yet. Naturally, there is no such thing as a date. Li Qianxue looked at his stupid expression and couldn’t help but want to hit him. “So, what date did you mention?”
“…” Weren’t they boyfriend and girlfriend? Su Chenghui’s face instantly fell. “But you said –”
“I said I would give you a chance, but I didn’t say I would be your girlfriend.”
Li Qianxue felt that it was really weird for her to say the words ‘girlfriend’.
Su Chenghui’s face fell because of Li Qianxue’s words. He looked at her and his mouth moved. In the end, he didn’t give up.
“Even if you’re not my girlfriend, it’s your birthday today. As a friend, I can celebrate it with you, right?”
This excuse was not bad. Su Chenghui could not help but add, “We are friends. Can’t I help you celebrate your birthday?”
He looked at the time. It was still too early for lunch. Without waiting for Li Qianxue’s response, he directly started the car and left.
When Li Qianxue stood at the door of Su Chenghui’s house, she stood there and took a step back. She did not intend to go forward.
“Su Chenghui?”
“Come in.” Su Chenghui opened the door and let Li Qianxue in. Li Qianxue stood at the door but did not move.
“Su Chenghui, don’t push your luck. I only said that I would give you a chance, but I didn’t agree to get back together with you.”
“I know.” Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue, who stood at the door, and refused to enter. He raised his hand and looked at her helplessly. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I just want to treat you to a meal.”
Li Qianxue looked at him, and Su Chenghui took a step back. “I’ve asked Qiao Ran to buy groceries just now. He has the key to my apartment. Don’t worry, I really just want to have a meal with you.”
He would cook the meal.
Li Qianxue stared at his face for a while, but in the end, she still entered the door.
Su Chenghui was satisfied. He let Li Qianxue enter the door, and he quickly went to the kitchen. When he came out, he had a cup of fruit juice in his hand.
“Sit for a while. I’ll be quick.”
Li Qianxue took the glass of fruit juice and sat down on the sofa.
Seeing that Su Chenghui had returned to the kitchen, she first called home to tell them that she wouldn’t be going back for lunch. Then, she got up and looked around the house.
Everything was cleaned up very well. Su Chenghui was a little obsessed with cleanliness. He didn’t like others touching his things. It could be seen that after the divorce, he had learned to take care of himself.
Outside the balcony, the scenery here was pretty good. He had put her heart and soul into this house.
She walked around the house before going to the kitchen. She found Su Chenghui, extremely focused on cooking, standing by the kitchen counter.
He wasn’t only good at posing. She had tasted his noodles the last time, and it was indeed delicious. She didn’t expect that Su Chenghui would cook for her one day.
Thinking about it seriously, she didn’t hate this romantically ambiguous feeling.
She had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth since she was young. Despite her mother’s early death, Old Master Li had doted on her to the extreme. The people around her had been trying to please her since she started school, whether it was her classmates or friends from the upper class who had been in contact with the Li family.
That was why when Su Chenghui didn’t take her seriously, she became motivated and wanted to win this man over.
She still remembered the first time when he confronted her in the conference room. At that time, he did not think of her as a woman at all. Instead, he thought of himself as a man, an ordinary colleague who he reasoned with.
Because of him, she was particularly concerned about that case.
In fact, it proved that some of his thoughts were right, and some of his thoughts were wrong, but he was not arrogant. After he found out that he was wrong, he calmly came to apologize to her.
Then, the two of them discussed how to deal with it. He was not a male chauvinist. He would not look down on her just because she was a woman.
On the contrary, every time the two of them communicated, there would always be a new spark.
The more time passed, the more obvious her feelings for him became. It was just that she didn’t expect Su Chenghui to have a girlfriend at that time.
“Hungry? I’ll scoop out the soup and then we can eat. You sit down first.”
Su Chenghui turned around and saw Li Qianxue standing at the kitchen door in a daze. He picked up the dishes on the cooking table and placed them on the dining table.
“You can sit down first.”
Only then did Li Qianxue realize that she had been watching Su Chenghui cook all this time. She felt a little uncomfortable and left the kitchen to sit down at the dining table.
Su Chenghui was very attentive. Without needing Li Qianxue to do anything, he immediately set up the bowls and chopsticks, then brought out the dishes.
“Have a bowl of soup.” When Su Chenghui served Li Qianxue the soup, he was still a little embarrassed. “I’m a little pressed for time. Next time, I’ll make health-preserving soup for you to drink.”
Li Qianxue was noncommittal. If she wanted to eat delicious food, she could just go back and ask Auntie Zhang to make it. She didn’t need to come here.
“It isn’t inconvenient for you because of your hand. How about I feed you?”
Noticing that Li Qianxue didn’t drink the soup, Su Chenghui suddenly thought of her hand injury. He reached out and was about to place the bowl in front of her.
“No need. I’m fine.”
Li Qianxue thought that she didn’t need him to take care of her that much. It was just that she couldn’t use too much strength with one hand.
“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui was very stubborn. He placed the soup in front of her and took the spoon. “I’ll feed you. The doctor said that you still have to take care of your hand.”
