Chapter 1025: Active Pursuit
There were also strawberries and white strawberries on the table. It was said that this was called Snow White, Huo Ci’s favorite fruit. When she thought of this, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She frowned, feeling a little annoyed. She must have gone crazy. What does what Huo Ci likes to eat have anything to do with her?!
Xiaoqi carried a plate of stir-fried vegetables out and saw his grandma approach him. He beamed and said in a soft, crisp voice, “Grandma, Grandma, it’s time to eat! Grandpa made your favorite tomato and egg noodles!”
Nangong Lengyu went over to bring the plate over. Her brows were furrowed slightly, and her eyes were a little dark. Did she like tomato and egg noodles the most? Who said that? That was the only thing he knew how to cook back then, all right?!
As the saying goes, love makes one full even if one only drinks water. She had been stupid back then too. No matter how well he cooked, she had thought all of the food was delicious. No matter how he behaved, she had thought he was great. It was only later she had realized that he was an *sshole!
“You still want me to feed you?” Huo Ci turned his head and spoke in a very irritating manner. His brows furrowed slightly as he shot her a look. “Come and bring the food out!”
Nangong Lengyu gnashed her teeth. She really wanted to snap back at him. No! She didn’t want to eat the noodles he had cooked! However, on the account that he had made a great effort to cook, she held herself back in the end. Xiaoqi was also present. She couldn’t keep letting the child see the two of them quarrel. They weren’t children anymore.
Huo Ci carried two bowls of noodles out, one big and one small bowl. The big bowl was his, and the small bowl was Xiaoqi’s. After taking two steps forward, he turned his head around and pointed at a bottle on the opposite. “The vinegar is over there. Add it yourself if you want to eat.”
Nangong Lengyu’s mood was a little unstable. She didn’t know what she was feeling at this moment either. When warmth filled her heart, she thought that she might have gone crazy. She carried a full bowl of noodles out.
She had a strong suspicion that Huo Ci had deliberately scooped so much noodles for her. Her appetite wasn’t good to begin with, so she wouldn’t be able to finish so much noodles even if she stuffed herself to death. However, if she wasted the food, that b*stard would definitely make sarcastic remarks again.
Huo Ci reached out with his chopsticks and directly picked up some noodles. When he saw the woman frown slightly, he let out a snort and gave her a sideways look. “Can you finish it? If you can’t, don’t waste the food.”
Nangong Lengyu didn’t speak either. When she saw him pick up one-third of the noodles, she smoothly picked up another portion for him. In the end, there was only one-third left. She had a weak stomach, so she needed to eat smaller meals more frequently. In the past, she hadn’t cared much. After finding her daughter, she started to take care of her health.
Even if it wasn’t for herself, she had to be healthy and live well for her daughter.
The atmosphere was very harmonious during this meal.
Nangong Lengyu had not expected that after more than 20 years, although people changed even when things remained the same, his basic noodle culinary skills had made no progress whatsoever. He had even mocked her for being bad at cooking and not even knowing how to cook soft-boiled eggs! How was he any better? Weren’t the tomato and egg noodles he cooked unpalatable too?!
Huo Ci was in a rare good mood, but he didn’t show it on his face. As he ate, he thought about how the damn brat at home was unreliable. In the end, he still had to make the move to call her back home.
After dinner, Huo Ci washed the dishes and tidied up the place. He looked like a complete househusband. He already had a handsome face that could cause the downfall of a country and its people. When he did housework, his elegance didn’t diminish. Instead, there was a rare down-to-earth aspect, making him look even more eye-catching.
When Nangong Lengyu went to cut some fruits for Xiaoqi, she stood at the door and looked at the man, who was wearing an apron and washing the dishes in front of the sink. For a moment, her emotions were somewhat complicated. They absurdly gave rise to the delusion that if that incident had not happened back then, he might have been a good man too.
Xiaoqi was holding Huo Ci’s phone and video calling Ling Sheng. In a small voice, he ran to the kitchen door quietly and pointed the camera in the direction of the kitchen to conduct a live broadcast. “Mommy, do you see that? Grandpa and Grandma are together.”
“I saw it.” Of course, Ling Sheng had seen it. When a handsome man and beautiful woman stood together, it was indescribably pleasing to the eye. Her father and mother were a match made in heaven in the first place. The misunderstanding back then, which was Little Star, had been caused by her mother lying to her father that she had been aborted, causing the two of them to fall out. Now that the truth had come out, the two of them both stopped mentioning that matter.
“Mommy, Grandma is done cutting the fruits. I’ll hang up now.” Xiaoqi acted like a thief, afraid that he would be discovered. He hurried back on his short legs. When he ran to the sofa, he calmly placed Grandpa’s phone in its original spot and even checked if it was put in the right position.
If Grandpa found out that he had secretly used his phone, he would punish him.
When Nangong Lengyu turned around with the fruit platter, she saw the little fella climb onto the sofa with his little butt sticking out. She walked over with a smile and said gently, “Xiaoqi, eat some fruit.”
Xiaoqi nodded and turned around to smile sweetly at his grandma.
On the other side, Ling Sheng had just finished filming her scenes and had only video-chatted with her son for a few minutes. Moreover, her precious son had secretly used his grandpa’s phone to video-call her. The next scene would be shot two hours later, and she hadn’t rested for a day already. She planned to go to the lounge to take a break. She wanted Little Ye to buy some food for her nearby. However, after searching around, she didn’t find her.
As soon as Little Ye stepped into the lounge, her arm was grabbed forcefully by someone. She only felt her body lighten as the man picked her up by the waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips. For a moment, it was difficult for her to even breathe. During a short moment of freedom, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of her with infatuation.
She felt the man’s hand begin to slide downward. She hurriedly pushed him away in panic, her entire face red with embarrassment. “Chuhe, don’t. Not here.”
Yu Chuhe held back the disgust and loathing in his heart while his eyes were full of deep affection. He looked at the woman who had been disoriented by his kiss and utterly bewitched by him. He pressed his forehead against hers intimately. The distance between the two of them was so close that they could even hear each other’s breathing. His sexy thin lips opened and closed slightly as he asked, “Did you miss me?”
Little Ye was already completely spellbound. As she looked at the man’s handsome face, her heart raced and she caressed his face. There was an infatuated look in her eyes, as well as a deep sense of attachment. She nodded and hummed an acknowledgment.
She missed him. How could she not miss him? She was just a very small assistant. She wasn’t pretty and her family background wasn’t good. She had not even dreamed that the man she liked, the idol she cherished immensely, would one day take the initiative to woo her.
All of this was like a beautiful dream to her, making her wallow in it and unwilling to wake up.
He was really handsome. He was the best man she had ever seen. He would never despise her background or her looks. He would praise her with the most beautiful words that could be found in the world and say sweet nothings to her in the most moving voice.
