Chapter 10: My Darling Husband

The friend request was sent, and it was accepted within seconds.

Ruan Yu looked at the chat box with Gu Yanzhi, a warm smile curled up at the corner of her lips.

Her white fingers tapped on the screen, changing the nickname to “My Darling Husband.”

Although they weren’t officially married yet, she was confident in herself. Sooner or later, Gu Yanzhi would truly become hers.

She turned off her phone and jumped off the swing.

Her gaze fell on Tang Ma, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor. Tang Ma saw Ruan Yu looking at her, she hurriedly looked away and started cleaning.

Tang Ma had watched Gu Yanzhi grow up since he was a child. Gu Yanzhi had always respected Tang Ma, but yesterday he had gotten angry at her because of her. And Tang Ma was right.

What she needed to do now was to restore her image in front of everyone. In her last life, because she was always acting up, everyone in Gu’s residence had no good feelings for her, they even disliked her.

Now she needed to restore the harmony in Gu’s residence, so that everyone wouldn’t scold her or punish her because of her.

Ruan Yu blinked twice, went to the second floor, Tang Ma looked at her in astonishment. Something was amiss, “Miss, what are your orders?”

In Tang Ma’s eyes, Ruan Yu was a spoiled young lady who was always acting up, heartless and carefree. She didn’t have any good feelings for her.

She didn’t understand why so many women outside were better than her, but Sir was so devoted to her.

Ruan Yu went forward and put her arm around Tang Ma’s, smiling sweetly, “Tang Ma, teach me how to cook.”

Faced with her affectionate gesture, Tang Ma’s whole body stiffened. She didn’t know how to react for a moment. After a while, she came to her senses, “That’s not possible, let me do the cooking. If it doesn’t suit Miss’s taste, just tell me, I’ll correct it.”

“Tang Ma, no.” Ruan Yu quickly waved her hand, “I want to learn how to cook, so I can cook for Brother Yanzhi in the future.”

A look of astonishment flashed in Tang Ma’s eyes, and Ruan Yu caught it.

Ruan Yu stretched out her hand, held up three fingers, and smiled brightly, “Tang Ma, don’t worry, I won’t poison him.”

Tang Ma’s gaze fell on her smiling face, she was smiling innocently and purely.

She really seemed different from before.

While Tang Ma was in a daze, she pulled Tang Ma downstairs, not to the kitchen, but to the living room.

She put her arm around Tang Ma and made her sit on the sofa.

Tang Ma hadn’t figured out what was going on yet when Ruan Yu poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

At this time, the girl who had just been smiling brightly changed her expression to a serious one. She stood in front of Tang Ma.

When Tang Ma reacted, she reflexively stood up from the sofa. She knew her place, she shouldn’t be sitting here.

As she stood up, Ruan Yu stopped her, “Tang Ma, please sit down first, listen to me.”

Tang Ma couldn’t refuse to sit down again.

Ruan Yu looked serious, “Tang Ma, yesterday, because of me, you had an unpleasant encounter with Brother Yanzhi. I apologize to you. I hope you don’t blame him.”

She handed the water to Tang Ma. Tang Ma’s hand paused for a moment before she took the glass of water, “Sir is right, I overstepped my bounds.”

Ruan Yu knew clearly that she was concerned about Gu Yanzhi, she was just speaking up for her, she didn’t have any malicious intent.

Besides, Tang Ma was right. What she had done before was unforgivable.

She didn’t want to cause any unpleasantness between Gu Yanzhi and Tang Ma because of her. She felt guilty, “Tang Ma, don’t say that. You’ve watched Brother Yanzhi grow up, naturally you’re doing it for his good. Tang Ma is right, I was immature before, I don’t deserve all the good things Brother Yanzhi has done for me.

Please believe me this time. I will stay with Brother Yanzhi from now on, I won’t make him sad anymore, and I will let him know that he deserves to be loved.”

Tang Ma looked at Ruan Yu with suspicion. She thought she was trying to play some trick, but she saw sincerity and determination on her face, her eyes were pure and bright, without any impurities.

This made Tang Ma hesitate. Perhaps she had really thought things through and wanted to live a good life with Sir, “I believe you.”

Tang Ma had always known that Ruan Yu was kind at heart. She was very friendly to everyone, and she had never been difficult to the servants in Gu’s residence for so many years. Only to Sir was she filled with hatred.

She also knew clearly that she had been blinded and brainwashed by a villain, which was why she hated Sir to the bone.

Today, seeing Ruan Yu’s ruthless methods, she was like Gu Yanzhi, throwing Tang Qingning out of Gu’s residence. She must have woken up and realized Tang Qingning’s true face.

Otherwise, she really couldn’t understand why Ruan Yu would do this.

Ruan Yu smiled frankly and pulled Tang Ma into the kitchen.

Ruan Yu had never been in the kitchen before. When she was cutting vegetables, she couldn’t even hold the knife steady. Tang Ma watched nervously, afraid that she would hurt herself. If Sir came back and blamed her, she wouldn’t be able to bear it, “Miss, why don’t I do it?”

“No.” Ruan Yu continued to cut the carrots in her hand, she turned back and smiled, signaling that she was fine.

Since it was her request, Tang Ma couldn’t help it. Her heart was in her throat, her gaze fell on her, she held her breath.

The carrots on the cutting board were cut into pieces, of different sizes, some of them rolled to the ground.

Ruan Yu, who had never touched a kitchen knife, found it very difficult to cut vegetables.

After a series of operations, the carrots were finally cut. Looking at the mess in the kitchen, Ruan Yu began to doubt her abilities.

She lowered her head in disappointment. Others were right, she was really useless.

She couldn’t even make a simple home-cooked meal.

Tang Ma saw her disappointment and couldn’t bear to comfort her, “Miss, the size of the carrots you cut is perfect for soup. Soup needs large pieces.”

Ruan Yu raised her head, her eyes instantly lit up again. With Tang Ma’s comfort, she regained her confidence, “Really?”

Tang Ma nodded solemnly, and she believed it.

She glanced at the fresh shrimp in the basin next to her, then looked at Tang Ma, “Tang Ma, please put the shrimp away. Don’t put seafood on the table anymore.”

Tang Ma was a little shocked. Ruan Yu continued, “Teach me some dishes that Brother Yanzhi likes to eat. I want to cook for him.”

Tang Ma put the fresh shrimp on the table away, she was a little relieved and happy for Sir.

She heard Tang Ma say that Gu Yanzhi liked scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Ruan Yu started to struggle with the eggs. She didn’t know how many she wasted before she managed to crack the eggs into the bowl without breaking them.

When she was cutting the tomatoes, she accidentally cut her hand.

Tang Ma repeatedly advised her, but she just wouldn’t listen. She insisted on making dinner for Gu Yanzhi.

Nothing could stop her.

After much effort, the dinner was finally ready under Tang Ma’s guidance.

At this time, Ruan Yu forgot the pain in her wound, she was satisfied and put the dishes on the plates, placing them on the dining table.

The appearance looked good, but she didn’t know how it tasted. But she was sure that under Tang Ma’s guidance, the taste wouldn’t be bad.
