Chapter 135
She was hungry beyond belief.
Smelling the aroma of the dish made her even hungrier.
Fu Jingting looked at Gu Manyin’s unbearable look and eventually agreed, “Let’s go.”
“Mm.” Gu Manyin smiled and nodded her head.
After just a few steps, she suddenly stopped again and looked back at Fu Jinglin on the sofa, “Brother Jinglin, do you want to come along?”
“I’m not coming with you.” Fu Jinglin said back in a cold manner.
Gu Manyin’s eyes hung her head in gloom.
Fu Jingting pursed his lips, “If you don’t come over to help, then you won’t be eating tonight.”
After saying that, he pulled Gu Manyin and continued to walk towards the kitchen.
Fu Jinglin on the sofa scratched his hair in exasperation, wanting very much to say that if he didn’t eat, he wouldn’t eat.
But his rumbling stomach made him unable to say anything.
In the end, Fu Jinglin went to the kitchen with no ambition.
The kitchen was so big that ten people could turn around in it.
When the three of them came in, they were just in time to see the scene of Rong Shu turning the pot upside down.
The dishes in the pot rose up into the air and then flopped back into the pot in unison.
Lu Qi Cheng Huai and Chen Xingnuo stood by the side, both looking stunned.
“That’s awesome.” Chen Xingnuo marvelled.
Cheng Huai nodded along, “Chef!”
“Baby ……” Lu Qi grimaced, his heart both happy and heartbroken.
The happy thing was that he would be able to eat the food made by his baby in a while.
The heartbreaking thing is that the baby he holds in his heart has actually been polished by the Fu family to the point where she can even turn pots and pans with one hand, a difficult skill, knowing that she has never done this before.
He said, “Lu Qi turned his head and gave the three people who came in a fierce glare.
Fu Jingting and the three of them were also watching Rong Shu turn the pot upside down, but only when they felt Lu Qi’s glare did they snap back to attention.
They had actually gotten caught up in watching Rong Shu turn the pot upside down.
“Let’s go, go over there.” Fu Jingting coughed lightly and withdrew his gaze, pointing to the other side of the stove.
Gu Manyin took his arm and went over with him.
Fu Jinglin looked at Rong Shu and then at his big brother, and followed him with his head hanging in despair.
When the three of them arrived at the stove, they looked at the pots and pans in front of them and had a difficult time.
As none of them had ever cooked before, they couldn’t even recognise everything, so now they had no idea where to start.
“Jingting, how do you get it?” Gu Manyin picked up the spatula and looked at it, and asked the man beside her with difficulty.
The man was silent for a few seconds, “Let’s wash the vegetables first and see what you want to eat?”
“But where are the dishes?” Gu Manyin was at a loss.
Fu Jinglin snorted, “Even if I can’t cook, I still know the dishes are in the fridge.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the fridge.
Gu Manyin bit her lower lip and her eyes reddened, “Jingting, am I useless, I don’t even know where the dishes are.”
“No, it’s normal to not know this if you can’t cook.” Fu Jingting stroked her hair.
However, when Lu Qi heard this, he rolled his eyes, “What’s normal, it’s common sense, okay? If you don’t even know common sense, you can see how much of a loser your fiancée is, and you can still lie to her without changing your face and say that it’s normal, and she even seems to believe it, how brainless are you, you can’t even hear the words of comfort.”
“Pfft!” Chen Xingnuo and Cheng Huai couldn’t hold back their laughter.
The corners of Rongshu’s mouth also curled up.
Fu Jingting’s face was ugly as he looked at Lu Qi, his eyes very cold.
Gu Manyin even looked as if she was about to cry with anger, “Lu Qi, you’re too much!”
How dare you call her waste and brainless!
“Where did I go too far, I just stated the truth, and you can’t accept that I went too far?” Lu Qi stretched his hands and laughed in a hangdog manner.
Gu Manyin’s chest rose and fell violently.
Lu Qi still wanted to taunt her, but Rongshu pulled her back, “Come on A Qi, stop it, it’s troublesome to get angry later.”
“Alright, since you said so, baby, I’ll shut up.” Lu Qi said with a smile.
Gu Manyin squeezed her palms and looked at Fu Jingting, “Jingting, do you also think I’m stupid and don’t even know common sense.”
“No.” Fu Jingting said back.
“Really no?” Gu Manyin was obviously a little unconvinced.
Fu Jingting only felt a little tired inside, but still endured the patience to nod, “Really.”
Gu Manyin could see that he was serious, and her mood improved.
At this time, Fu Jinglin had already returned with the dishes he wanted to eat, a whole bunch of them in a forest.
“Big brother, let’s make these.” He looked at Fu Jingting excitedly.
Fu Jingting, however, frowned at these dishes he had carried, “Do you know how to make them, and you’re taking this much?”
Fu Jinglin’s face froze, obviously not having thought about this.
“What about?” He scratched his head.
Fu Jingting was silent.
Gu Manyin was even more unsure of what to say.
Next to him, Rong Shu was directing Lu Qi and the three of them to get the plates and seasonings, and they were busy with great enthusiasm.
On the other hand, Fu Jingting’s side, the three of them were looking at the cold pot and cold stove for a long time.
The two sides formed a stark contrast.
After a while, Fu Jingting let out a light sigh and took out his mobile phone, searching for cooking instructions, and only then did he start to move.
However, the rice that was cooked looked unappetizing.
“Big brother, is this blackened aubergine of yours?” Fu Jinglin asked very politely, pointing at a plate in front of him that could not be seen in its original form.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed into a straight line and his voice stiffened as he gave a mmm.
The corners of Fu Jinglin’s mouth twitched as he pointed to another plate, “This is potatoes?”
Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes and gave him a cool sweeping glance.
He shrank his neck, not daring to ask further questions.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Gu Manyin smiled and took the initiative to ease the situation, “Well, brother Jinglin, although these dishes look a bit unattractive, they should still taste good, after all, they were made by Jingting himself, try them.”
She handed a pair of chopsticks to Fu Jinglin.
Fu Jinglin pretended not to see it, picked up another pair and reached for the aubergine.
Gu Manyin’s chopsticks froze in the air.
Fu Jingting squeezed her hand, “It’s okay, eat it yourself.”
“Mm.” Gu Manyin squeezed the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, but in her heart, she secretly held a grudge against Fu Jinglin who had made her lose face.
Just wait, after she and Jingting got married, she would definitely drive Fu Jinglin, the wallflower, out of Fu Gongguan.
“Vomit!” Just as Gu Manyin and Fu Jingting were about to eat, Fu Jinglin suddenly let out a dry vomit with a twisted face, spitting out the food in his mouth.
“What’s all this, it’s so hard to eat, one bite of salty, two chews of sweet, big brother you’re really good at this.” Fu Jinglin hurriedly drank water while extending a thumb towards Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting’s eyebrows twisted, “It’s hard to eat?”
“It’s super hard to eat, okay.” Fu Jinglin yelled loudly.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and looked at the dish he had made, hesitating for a moment, he still took a piece and put it into his mouth, then his brow furrowed even more, but he still swallowed it.
“Big brother, how is it, is it hard to eat?” Fu Jinglin asked with a smile as he approached him.
Fu Jingting didn’t say anything, his face was expressionless as he sipped his water, sort of acquiescing.
Seeing this, Gu Manyin’s chopsticks that she had originally stretched out, also silently stretched back.
Forget it, she’d better not eat it.
Gu Manyin’s action was seen by Rong Shu who was enjoying her meal at the next table.
Rongshu did not intend to pay any attention to it and quietly ate her sumptuous dinner.
Cheng Huai and Chen Xingnuo didn’t want to cause any trouble either, after all, the food was in front of them, so they didn’t have the mood to care about anything else.
It had to be said that Rongshu’s cooking was so delicious.
Especially the fish, which was so delicious that one wanted to swallow one’s tongue.
Only Lu Qi’s eyes rolled and he had a bad idea.
He put down his chopsticks and turned his head to look at the next table, “Miss Gu, this is the dinner that Mr. Fu personally came down to cook, why don’t you eat it?”
Chapter 136
Gu Manyin didn’t expect him to suddenly mention himself and smiled politely, “I ……”
“Are you disgusted?” Lu Qi interrupted her explanation.
Gu Manyin hurriedly shook her head to deny it, “I didn’t.”
“Then why aren’t you eating?” Lu Qi turned the conversation back to the original point.
The few people in Rongshu knew that he was up to something, deliberately provoking Gu Manyin and Fu Jingting, and for a moment they became interested and also put down their chopsticks, watching the good show.
“That’s right Miss Gu, since you’re not disliking Jingting, then you should eat.” Cheng Huai propped up his head and said with a smirk.
Chen Xingnuo also nodded, “This is personally cooked by Mr. Fu, it’s not good for Miss Gu not to eat it, and don’t you love Mr. Fu, you can’t not give face to your beloved, right?”
Fu Jinglin’s mouth moved and he also wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fu Jingting’s cold eyes.
As for Rong Shu, she calmly sipped her soup and didn’t say anything, but for the playfulness in her eyes, it was as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Gu Manyin’s eyes were red as she looked at the group of people, and her heart was filled with hatred.
These people were clearly trying to screw her, to make her eat such a terrible meal, to make her laugh, and to achieve their goal, they even brought out Jing Ting to force her.
If she didn’t eat it, she was disliking Jing Ting, she didn’t love him, and when the time came, even if Jing Ting didn’t say it on his lips, he would definitely suspect her feelings for him in his heart, this group of people were really vicious.
“Okay, I’ll eat!” Gu Manyin took a deep breath and reluctantly smiled back.
Lu Qi and the others first froze, and then laughed in triumph.
“Miss Gu is really good, she has true love for Mr. Fu.” Chen Xingnuo gave a thumbs up.
Gu Manyin smiled and didn’t say anything.
True love?
What did this have to do with true love, weren’t they the ones who forced her and made it impossible for her to refuse?
Gu Manyin bit her lip and picked up her chopsticks.
Fu Jingting held down her hand, “Don’t eat, don’t pay attention to them.”
“It’s okay, they’re right, this is the first time you’ve cooked for me, I always have to try it.” After saying that, Gu Manyin gently took his hand away.
Although Fu Jingting still somewhat disapproved of her eating, he didn’t continue to stop it.
Perhaps, he also wanted to know what her reaction would be when she ate these meals.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, Gu Manyin reached her chopsticks towards a plate of potatoes and picked up a potato stick that didn’t look like shredded potatoes.
“Eat it, what’s the point of stopping?” Seeing her holding the potato stick and not putting it into her mouth, Lu Qi began to urge.
Gu Manyin hated it in her heart, but she knew she couldn’t stop eating it, so after closing her eyes, she gathered the courage to put the potato stick into her mouth.
In an instant, an indescribably strange taste spread in her mouth.
Her face changed and changed, and finally she couldn’t hold back, so she covered her mouth and got up to run to the bathroom.
As she entered the washroom, she could still hear the rampant laughter of Lu Qi and the others behind her.
“Jingting, it seems that Miss Gu is very uncomfortable with your cooking, she can’t stand it and has gone straight to throwing up.” Cheng Huai sipped his juice and said to Fu Jingting flirtatiously.
“Maybe Miss Gu doesn’t love you very much either Mr. Fu, otherwise how could she have thrown up, if it was me, even if Baby’s cooking was bad, I would have swallowed it without changing my face, instead of throwing up so undignifiedly.” Lu Qi also laughed.
Fu Jingting’s face darkened and he pursed his thin lips without speaking.
In fact, he understood Mangyin’s behaviour, after all, the meal was really hard to eat.
But when he saw her throw up, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, just like what Lu Qi said, she did this without thinking at all, whether it would make him feel bad.
“Alright, come on, let’s eat, don’t say anything.” Rong Shu, who had been quiet and never spoken, finally spoke up when she saw Fu Jingting’s bad expression.
It wasn’t that she was giving Fu Jingting a step.
Rather, she was worried that if Lu Qi and the others went too far, it would not end well if they completely angered him.
Lu Qi and the others obviously also realized that Fu Jingting was angry, so they shrugged their shoulders and stopped talking and continued eating.
At this time, Gu Manyin came back after rinsing her mouth, pulled out her chair and sat down, carefully looking at the man beside her.
She seemed to know that what she had just done would make the man feel bad, so she lowered her head and said in an apologetic tone, “Jing Ting, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to throw up, I just ……”
“It’s okay, the food is indeed difficult to eat, it’s normal to throw up.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyes to interrupt her words.
Hearing the slight coldness in his voice, Gu Manyin’s heart tightened, understanding that he had a problem with her, and her heart was furious.
It was all Rongshu and the others’ fault.
If they hadn’t forced her to eat, she wouldn’t have thrown up, and Jingting wouldn’t have had a problem with her.
For a while, the three people on Fu Jingting’s side didn’t speak again, not knowing what to say, and they didn’t move their chopsticks even more, the atmosphere was very depressing.
The atmosphere was very depressing, while the few people next door, Rong Shu, were talking and laughing, eating lively.
The fragrance of the dishes on their table wafted over and reached Fu Jingting’s nostrils, making the three of them even more unpleasant, as if there was a cat scratching in their hearts.
“Ahhhhh, I can’t stand it, I’m too hungry!” Fu Jinglin slapped the table, “Big brother, can you have someone order some meals and arrange for a helicopter to send them over?”
Hearing these words, Gu Manyin’s eyes also lit up for a moment, looking at Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting rubbed his brow and shook his head, “No, it’s a thunderstorm outside, it’s dangerous for the helicopter to come over, something could easily happen.”
“Then we’ll stay hungry?” Fu Jinglin’s eyes widened.
Fu Jingting raised his eyes to look at him, “If you don’t want to go hungry, you’ll just eat.”
“Then I’d rather starve than eat these.” Fu Jinglin said with a puff of anger.
Fu Jingting’s breath around him was cold, but he didn’t force it, “If you don’t eat, get lost!”
“Just go.” Fu Jinglin stood up and left his seat, but instead of going upstairs, he walked towards the next door towards Rong Shu and the others.
Lu Qi saw it and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Baby, that boy is coming over.”
Rongshu turned her head to look and Fu Jinglin gave her a silly smile, “Sister Rongshu.”
Tsk, what a stupid smile!
Rongshu rolled her eyes inwardly, pretended not to hear her and withdrew her gaze.
When Fu Jinglin saw her ignoring her, his expression dimmed for a moment, then he didn’t leave, but stood next to the table, holding his finger, looking at the food on the table with longing written in his eyes.
With him staring at them like that, Rongshu and the others couldn’t eat anymore.
Lu Qi put down the juice in his hand, “Kid, what are you doing?”
Fu Jinglin ignored him and looked at Rong Shu expectantly, “Sister Rong Shu, your cooking smells so good.”
Rongshu hooked her lips, “What, do you want to eat?”
Fu Jinglin’s eyes instantly lit up when he saw that she understood what he meant, and he nodded his head in a hurry, “Can I?”
“Brother Jinglin, come back.” Before Rong Shu could answer, Gu Manyin was the first to speak, “It’s not good for you to ask others for food like this.”
“What does it matter to you if it’s good or not, for you to care?” Fu Jinglin turned around and impatiently replied back.
Gu Manyin bit her lower lip, her eyes moistening up, “I’m concerned about you.”
“I don’t need you to care, you just care about my big brother.” Fu Jinglin skimmed his lips and said.
“Jingting ……” Gu Mangyin sadly flung herself into Fu Jingting’s arms, seeking comfort.
I thought Fu Jingting would coax her like he usually did, and even let Fu Jinglin apologize to her.
But this time, Fu Jingting didn’t say anything other than to hug her, his eyelids slightly drooping, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Manyin was now really aggrieved.
Lu Qi, however, was pleased and gave Fu Jinglin a rare compliment, “Kid, well done!”
Fu Jinglin ignored him as usual and looked at Rong Shu with shining eyes, asking once again, “Sister Rong Shu, is it okay?”
