Chapter 12: It Couldn’t Be That You’re Incapable, Could It?

Gu Yanzhi stared at the girl who was busy in the kitchen, his eyes filled with unknown meaning. His voice was very soft, “I know, go down.”

Tang Ma hesitated, wanting to say something. Gu Yanzhi saw her hesitation, “Tang Ma, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

Tang Ma’s gaze fell on the busy figure in the kitchen. She was flustered, but she still told Gu Yanzhi about the twists and turns of cooking, “Sir, Miss cut her hand while cooking this afternoon, and her back was also burned by the hot oil.”

After hearing this, Gu Yanzhi’s brows furrowed, his face became much gloomier, his eyes were full of coldness, his voice was sharp, and he was full of pressure, “Why did you let Miss cook? What are you all eating? Couldn’t you stop her?”

He originally knew that his little girl was cooking for him, and his heart was filled with joy. But when he learned that she had cut her hand while cooking and was also burned, his heart only ached and he felt sorry for her.

Tang Ma lowered her head, not daring to breathe. The temperature in the large living room dropped a few degrees. It was already spring, but the temperature felt like they were in an ice cellar.

Ruan Yu reheated the food and walked out of the kitchen. Seeing Tang Ma, who was silent, and Gu Yanzhi, whose face was gloomy, she blinked and asked, “Brother Yanzhi, I’ve reheated the food, why are you still here?” She reached out and pushed him, “Go wash your hands and eat.”

Gu Yanzhi didn’t move. He took Ruan Yu’s hand, saw the blisters on her back from the hot oil and her finger wrapped in a band-aid, his eyes were full of heartache, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.

Ruan Yu understood what was going on, “Brother Yanzhi, I’m fine, don’t blame Tang Ma. I insisted on having Tang Ma teach me how to cook. I want to cook for the person I love the most.”

The person I love the most…

Was he the person she loved the most?

His eyes softened, his tone also warmed up a little. His gaze fell on Ruan Yu’s delicate and sweet face, he couldn’t look away, “Go down.”

Tang Ma breathed a sigh of relief, her heart settled. Fortunately, Sir didn’t blame her.

Seeing that Gu Yanzhi was standing there motionless, Ruan Yu reached out her soft hand, took his large hand, and walked towards the bathroom, “Brother Yanzhi, don’t worry, Tang Ma has already applied medicine to my wound, it doesn’t hurt at all.”

Gu Yanzhi wrapped her small hand in his palm. Perhaps it was evening, the temperature had dropped, and the girl’s small hand was cold.

Ruan Yu was enveloped in his large palm, warmth spread to her heart, she felt a sense of security.

He went into the bathroom to wash his hands. Ruan Yu leaned against the door waiting for him, her gaze fixed on Gu Yanzhi’s tall figure, her eyes were full of tenderness, the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.

How come she hadn’t noticed before that this man’s every move exuded elegance and nobility, and his appearance was incredibly exquisite, the epitome of a禁欲男神 (abstinent male god).

Gu Yanzhi felt her burning gaze and turned back, “Let Tang Ma do the cooking from now on.”

“How can that be?” Ruan Yu directly refused, “I’m also very happy to cook for the man I love the most. You just need to make money to support the family, and I’ll be responsible for being beautiful, cooking for you, and leaving the lights on for you.”

Gu Yanzhi took a towel and dried his hands, his gaze fell on her face, he looked at her clear and bright eyes, wanting to find something in them, but her eyes were clear and pure, without any impurities.

They were as clear as a mountain stream.

After washing his hands, Gu Yanzhi stood in front of her. He was almost six feet tall, the girl in front of him stood straight and only reached his chest. He bent down slightly, looking at Ruan Yu, his low voice was tinged with a hint of a smile, “You just need to be responsible for being beautiful.”

Ruan Yu pouted in dissatisfaction, she took his hand and walked towards the dining table, she complained, “What’s the point of being beautiful, some people still can’t resist temptation.”

Gu Yanzhi listened to Ruan Yu’s complaints, the corners of his lips curled up into a beautiful arc.

Was this little girl complaining that he didn’t touch her last night?

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, he was eager for the little girl’s initiative, but he didn’t want her to regret it in the heat of the moment. He could wait, wait until she figured things out, then let her completely belong to him.

He had waited ten years, he wasn’t in a hurry.

He smiled indulgently, reached out and pinched the girl’s cheek, it was tender like a peeled egg, “Brother Yanzhi is not in a hurry, wait until Ayu figures things out.”

“I’ve already thought things through.” Ruan Yu pouted in dissatisfaction, then suddenly thought of something, she looked him up and down and said something that made Gu Yanzhi want to spit blood, “It couldn’t be… that you’re incapable, could it?”

A black line appeared on Gu Yanzhi’s forehead. What was this little girl thinking about every day?

He’s incapable?

He reached out and put his hand between Ruan Yu’s arms, effortlessly picking her up.

By the time Ruan Yu reacted, she was already sitting at the dining table. She blinked her beautiful almond eyes, looking at Gu Yanzhi in confusion.

Seeing his face as black as coal, she couldn’t help but think that she had hit the nail on the head, and he was going to kill her to silence her.

Gu Yanzhi propped his arms on either side of the girl, looking at her up close.

She laughed awkwardly, held up three fingers, “I swear, if Brother Yanzhi is incapable, I, Ruan Yu, will never let anyone else know, and I will never dislike Brother Yanzhi.”

Then she giggled twice. Now, he wouldn’t kill her to silence her, right?

Gu Yanzhi: “…”

She looked at Gu Yanzhi’s face, it seemed even blacker than before, so black that it could no longer be described as coal.

Was that still not good enough?

Ruan Yu observed his face, afraid that her words had hurt his self-esteem.

Gu Yanzhi retracted his hand that was propping her up, stood up straight, put his hands in his pockets, looked down at the innocent little girl, and sneered helplessly.

“That… I didn’t mean to hurt your self-esteem, I’m sorry.” Ruan Yu lowered her head, twirling her fingers, she wanted to divert his attention, “The food is reheated, I’ll go and get it.”

After saying that, she jumped off the table and ran into the kitchen.

Gu Yanzhi gritted his teeth, shook his head helplessly. If he wasn’t waiting for her to figure things out, he would throw this little thing on the bed now and make her unable to get out of bed for three days and three nights. Let’s see if she would dare to say he was incapable again.

He had finally gotten a little closer to the little thing, and he was also afraid that if he did something extreme, the little girl would start to dislike him again.

He could only carefully guard the current happiness.

Ruan Yu brought the dishes out and placed them on the dining table. Gu Yanzhi looked at the food on the table and fell into thought. They were all dishes he liked.

“Why are you standing there? Sit down and try it, see if it suits your taste. This is the first time I’ve cooked.” Ruan Yu looked at Gu Yanzhi, who was lost in thought.

Gu Yanzhi sat down, Ruan Yu filled a bowl of soup for him and placed it in front of him.

Although it was her first time cooking, Ruan Yu was full of confidence. Plus, Tang Ma was guiding her, she believed that even if it wasn’t as good as a five-star chef, it wouldn’t be inedible.
