Chapter 147: Chapter 80: Bullying Her and Even Refusing to Admit It (1)

Quan Shaoqing immediately closed the bedroom door and let out a long sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she had forgotten the last time he kissed her. Otherwise, how would he explain it?

Quan Shaoqing immediately took the bag from Gu Xiaoxi’s hand with eagerness, and said with a gentle smile, "Hurry and wash your hands for dinner. I’ve just finished cooking, it’s still hot."

"..." Gu Xiaoxi turned to glance at Quan Shaoqing. The man wore a pleasing smile, and his usually cold eyes seemed as warm as sunshine.

She seldom saw him with such an abnormal expression; it seemed like he was trying a bit too hard to please.

Gu Xiaoxi internally scoffed, does this mean he still remembered the bad things he did while she was feverish? Was he trying to atone for it?

After washing her hands, Gu Xiaoxi came out to find Quan Shaoqing opening the red wine.

He had even specially made steak, codfish, spicy shrimp, and stewed chicken soup.

Gu Xiaoxi sat down at the dining table, leaned in to smell the food on her plate, and found it particularly fragrant.

Ignoring Quan Shaoqing, she picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of beef, and tasted it. It was delicious, medium rare, and even better than what chefs make in hotels.

"Delicious!" Gu Xiaoxi nodded.

"If you find it delicious, then eat more, I made all these especially for you." Quan Shaoqing placed the red wine in front of Gu Xiaoxi, then took a seat opposite her.

The man inherently looked enchanting, with refined features, an air of nobility in his brow, a sturdy figure as strong as a pine tree, and his long, narrow eyes shining like stars under his sword-like eyebrows.

When Gu Xiaoxi looked up, her gaze collided with his, and that brief contact seemingly sparked an invisible fire.

She didn’t know what that feeling was—it was as if a bright lamp had shone into her heart, making her feel clear-headed, as if washed by clean water, very comfortable. Yet it was as if something had disturbed the calm lake of her heart, leaving her uncertain of what to do.

Suddenly, the image from that morning jumped into her mind—he had held and kissed her so adeptly.

This man...

At this thought, Gu Xiaoxi’s face instantly darkened.

Quan Shaoqing’s heart skipped a beat, thinking Gu Xiaoxi was about to explode in anger. He immediately grabbed a crab and shook it in his hand, "Let me peel this for you; it’s your favorite crab."

Gu Xiaoxi picked up her fork and moved swiftly, pressing down on the crab in Quan Shaoqing’s hand with the fork without warning and huffing coldly, "What’s with this sudden enthusiasm? Just put it down, and eat slowly—it’s not going to fly away."

Quan Shaoqing coughed, barely concealing a twitch at the corner of his mouth; wanting to laugh, he managed not to show even a trace of a smile, "Xiao Xi, having not been home for so many days, I’m sure you haven’t eaten well at the base. I made all these for you, so eat more to make up for it."

"Really? Seeing you look so guilty, let me guess what it is for?" Gu Xiaoxi picked up the fork, flipped her wrist, and there was a loud "snap".

Quan Shaoqing instantly withdrew his hand, then his face turned slightly pale as he looked at the crab he had just been holding.

The tough crab had been pierced by Gu Xiaoxi’s fork, creating a hole and lifting it up.

Quan Shaoqing was so frightened, his heart trembled!

"Xiao Xi, we have such a good relationship! And I’m your guardian, I’ve been utterly devoted to you, like you’re my own child..." Quan Shaoqing hadn’t finished speaking.

Gu Xiaoxi’s complexion turned ashen as she abruptly stood up from her seat and reached out to grab Quan Shaoqing by the collar.

However, as she yanked on him, she realized he was sitting up straight and still, immovable, like a mountain.
