Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 951: Chapter 947: Four Dishes and One Soup Across the Ocean

”Dear, what did you mean by what you just said?”

Catching up with Huo Sining, Gu Xu looked at his wife with bright eyes and full of expectation.

Huo Sining slowly turned her head, smiled lightly, but refused to say anything.

The tenderness in Gu Xu’s heart instantly overflowed his chest. He couldn’t help but reach out his hand to hold Huo Sining’s right hand, his thumb gently rubbing her ring finger—the spot where a ring should be worn. He wished he could immediately use the ring hanging around his neck to bind her, preventing her from being taken away by any other wolves.

Feeling the warmth between their fingers, Huo Sining felt the temperature that had cooled down rise again, her cheeks growing warm, and her heart beating intensely.

Gu Xu’s thumb slid from her ring finger to her palm, his strong and firm hand easily enveloping hers.

Huo Sining pretended to be expressionless, but the joyful bubbles in her heart kept bubbling up.

Adding both lives together, Huo Sining’s romantic experience was barely one instance, and that was based on intrigue, so if you really counted, her dating experience was actually zero.

Gu Xu also had little experience in love. Surprisingly, the two people who didn’t know how to date got together without any discord, and Huo Sining found she quite liked this feeling.

Her lips unconsciously curved upwards.

With Gu Xu visiting, naturally, Huo Sining accompanied him to his hotel and called Hinata Chinatsu to tell her she wouldn’t be back for now.

Hinata Chinatsu teasingly said, ”I know, Huo Si, your boyfriend has come, hasn’t he? I saw him, he’s very handsome, you have good taste! Enjoy this long midnight together.”

Upon hearing Hinata Chinatsu’s suggestive words, Huo Sining couldn’t help but facepalm. She thought Hinata Chinatsu was a simple, soft girl, but didn’t expect her to speak like this. Clearly, she had misjudged her.

This wasn’t a big surprise though, with Island Country’s romantic action films so prosperous, many Chinese sons and daughters across the Pacific Ocean were influenced. As a part of Island Country, Hinata Chinatsu couldn’t be completely ignorant of such things, so her words were understandable.

Over there, Gu Xu had finished showering, and soon he opened the door of the steam-filled bathroom, walking out with just a towel.

Huo Sining pretended to lower her head and flip through a book, her cheeks burning, heart racing, while her peripheral vision unconsciously followed the man.

Broad bronze shoulders, tight abs, long and robust legs, as if bewitched, Huo Sining inadvertently swallowed.

Huo Sining’s swallowing action naturally fell into Gu Xu’s deep, black eyes, a trace of amusement unwittingly emerged, softening his cold facial contours, while his gaze grew deeper.

Huo Sining felt annoyed. She never considered herself someone attracted to looks, but why couldn’t she control her eyes now?

Especially noticing Gu Xu’s somewhat amused gaze, as if he had seen through her peeking, Huo Sining felt even more embarrassed and angry, couldn’t help but lift her head and irritably say, ”Can you put some clothes on? Walking around like this in front of me is making me dizzy!”

Clearly, she was the one secretly watching, yet she blamed him instead, which seemed a bit like beating around the bush.

Huo Sining spoke confidently, and taking this opportunity to lift her head, she no longer needed to worry as much, letting her gaze brazenly fall on Gu Xu, examining him from head to toe.

Gu Xu wasn’t annoyed at all, letting out a soft laugh and swiftly putting on a set of casual clothes.

Unable to see his sexy physique anymore, Huo Sining breathed a sigh of relief, yet within her heart lay an irrepressible tinge of regret and disappointment. However, she couldn’t let it show on her face and continued feigning calmness, lowering her head again, flipping through the Dongyang magazine whose name she couldn’t even understand.

Gu Xu found Huo Sining’s pretense amusing, but didn’t point it out directly. He silently turned around, took out two thermos containers from his backpack, spread out the tablecloth in the room carefully, and then started serving the hot, steaming dishes from the containers one by one.

Huo Sining instantly smelled the rich aroma of the dishes, lifting her head in surprise. On the small table were four dishes and one soup, complete with color, aroma, and taste, all steaming hot.

”How did you...”

Was this magic? When did this guy order these meals? Huo Sining was puzzled, as since entering the room, she had been sitting on the sofa and hadn’t seen anyone delivering food.

Huo Sining’s gaze shifted to the thermos containers, soon understanding that these dishes must have been brought by Gu Xu from Huaxia.

”Come over and eat,” Gu Xu warmly smiled at Huo Sining, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering, ”didn’t you say Dongyang food was oily and tasteless? I had Auntie Li make these for you, all your favorite Sichuan dishes, and they’re still hot.”

Indeed, they were her favorites: spicy boiled pork slices, Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, Mapo tofu, and sour fish soup. Each dish was a Bashu person’s love.

”This should have been for you at noon, but you weren’t at school. Luckily, these thermos containers are good quality, keeping the heat in, otherwise, they wouldn’t taste as good.”

Gu Xu smiled as he served Huo Sining a bowl of rice, and handed her chopsticks carefully.

Actually, Huo Sining had these dishes in her storage ring, and taking them out would have been even fresher and hotter than those brought in thermos containers, but looking at this simple table of dishes, she felt nothing from the storage ring could compare to these simple four dishes and one soup on the table.

”You, this guy, really is...”

Who said this man was clueless about dating? These dishes brought across the ocean were more delightful than a bouquet of roses and more moving than any sweet talk. This guy probably knew better than anyone how to utterly break down the frozen fort within Huo Sining’s heart and arrogantly occupy it.

Huo Sining’s heart was overflowed by sweet and sour emotions, her eyes misting up uncontrollably.

Gu Xu patiently picked dishes for her, even carefully removing bones from fish slices, without any sentimental words, yet making Huo Sining’s heart slowly firm. She looked at the man carefully arranging dishes for her with a smile, feeling completely at peace.

There are thousands of types of love in the world, but all she hoped for was peace in the years and stability in the present.
