Chapter 434: Chapter 434 Young Master Tang Can Chop Vegetables

Gu Yan used her hand to block his approaching face, "Alright, let go, it’s midday, I need to cook."

"You can cook a bit slower, I’m not hungry," Tang Yuxiu said with a meaningful tone.

Gu Yan didn’t catch the deeper meaning in his words, she just went along, "But I’m hungry."

"Is that so? Well, we can do something else to distract you, I can also fill you up," Tang Yuxiu leaned closer to her ear, his warm breath on her ear made her feel ticklish and a bit tingly.

Her ears were a sensitive part.

With him so close, and in such an ambiguous posture, if Gu Yan still didn’t get what he was up to, or rather, what he was saying, then she would be really stupid.

Gu Yan pushed him away forcefully and glared at him with dissatisfaction, "Broad daylight, what are you thinking about? Get rid of the nonsense in your head and help me properly."

Seeing she was serious, Tang Yuxiu had no choice but to comply, releasing his hands from her waist, "What do you want me to do?"

Gu Yan pointed to the vegetables in the bowl by the sink, "Wash these thoroughly."

"No problem." Young Master Tang took off his suit jacket, handed it to Gu Yan, then unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt and the top two buttons, revealing his collarbone and a hint of his chest.

Gu Yan glanced once, then again, secretly grumbling to herself, why is he taking off his clothes? Is he trying to tempt her or is he just getting back at her for rejecting him earlier?

This man is really petty.

But Gu Yan was really overthinking it; Young Master Tang was simply thinking that it’s more convenient to work with the shirt unbuttoned.

He walked over to the counter, focused and earnest as he washed the vegetables.

Gu Yan thought this young master wouldn’t be able to handle such a task, but after watching for a moment, he was doing quite well.

The vegetables were washed, with unnecessary parts torn off and discarded, and the rest cleaned impeccably.

Gu Yan was surprised, "I remember you didn’t know how to do anything before, and you have such a serious case of OCD, you usually wouldn’t touch anything, so how come you’re so good at washing vegetables now?"

"Who am I kidding, there’s nothing I can’t do. It’s because of my OCD; if the vegetables aren’t clean, even I can’t stand it."

You don’t know, but because you weren’t here, I learned so much, learned how to do housework, wash and cook vegetables, prepare meals, wash the dishes.

I learned all the things you used to do, and many more things you knew how to do.

Because he thought that since she wasn’t there, if he learned to do the things she did, maybe it would bring him a little comfort, comforting himself that she never really left, she’s always been with him.

In the years she was gone, whenever he had free time, he would cook for himself.

But he wouldn’t tell Gu Yan these things.

She already felt guilty about the five years she was missing from his life; he didn’t want to add any more guilt to her conscience.

Why should she feel guilty for him, when it’s he who should be making up for all that was missing in her life.

Tang Yuxiu glanced at Gu Yan standing beside him, "Why are you still standing there? Go put away the clothes and quickly whip up something for me to eat now."

Gu Yan pouted, "You just said you weren’t hungry, why the rush now?"

"That was just then, now I’m hungry."

"You are really something, turning on a dime like that; you’re even more changeable than a woman."

"Are you saying you’re very changeable?"

Gu Yan, "..." She glared at him, turned around to put away his clothes, and took her jacket off as well.

She returned to the kitchen, sorted rice and started washing the cooking pot.

Tang Yuxiu finished washing the vegetables and asked her, "Is there anything else I need to do?"

Gu Yan looked at the vegetables and meat laid out beside the cutting board, and asked, "Can you chop the vegetables?"

Tang Yuxiu glanced at them and nodded, "I can."

Before Gu Yan could even say anything, he washed the knife and started chopping the vegetables himself.

His speed wasn’t particularly fast, but the vegetables were chopped neatly and well.

Gu Yan stood beside him, watching in a daze.

She just felt a sense of heartache.

How had he gotten through the five years she wasn’t there?

He had learned so much that he never used to know, he had changed so much.

He still seemed like the man she once knew, but somehow he wasn’t the same anymore.

He was better to her, said nice things, would go grocery shopping with her, help her wash and chop the vegetables.

Things that he, as the young master who never got his hands dirty, never knew how to do, he now did so well.

What she could feel was only heartache.

He didn’t say anything, but she understood very well in her heart.

Before he noticed, she quietly put away those emotions, acting as if she knew nothing.

"I couldn’t tell, Young Master Tang, you’re quite skilled at chopping vegetables." She said with a smile.

Tang Yuxiu curved his lips slightly, and unabashedly said, "Of course, much better than your skills."

"Shameless, really narcissistic, that’s one thing that will never change about you."

"I have the right to be narcissistic, don’t you agree?" He winked at her flirtatiously.

Damn! In Gu Yan’s mind, a herd of alpacas was running wild, kicking up a cloud of dust that blurred her vision.

To see Tang Yuxiu make such a move in a lifetime was simply mortifying!

It was unbearably awkward.

Gu Yan rubbed her arms, "Young Master Tang, I think you should stick to your usual ways, this doesn’t suit you, it gives me goosebumps."

"Is that so?" Young Master Tang was oblivious to the effect he had, instead he felt good about it, "I think it’s not bad, look, your face is blushing again."

Gu Yan immediately cupped her face, "Is it? Is it really? Where’s the blush? You must be seeing things, just chop the vegetables properly."

Tang Yuxiu chuckled, "I’ve been chopping properly, you’re the one who’s bored and came to chat with me."

Gu Yan, "..." Sure enough, he reverted back to the old Young Master Tang, not cute at all!

Gu Yan pouted, sullenly taking a few steps back.

Tang Yuxiu’s smile became even more evident.

Gu Yan gestured a fist at him, "Still smiling, are you itching for a beating? Be careful not to cut your hand."

"If I cut my hand, you’d definitely feel sorry, I certainly won’t let you feel sorry, though I’m happy you’d be concerned for me."

Gu Yan, "..."

This man again, her face was changing colors from his flirting, she was almost not functioning normally.

"Focus, stop messing around."

"Ha ha..." Tang Yuxiu laughed joyfully.

Gu Yan was also very happy inside, but she didn’t show it, she wouldn’t let him get a bigger head.

She stood beside, watching him concentrate on chopping vegetables, frankly, this posture, this action, this profile, was quite handsome.

Gu Yan watched and as she watched, her face automatically turned red.
