War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 435: Happiness Is Very Simple

Tang Yuxiu glanced at her lightly, the smile in his eyes deepened, and said, "Yanyan, just looking at me turns your face red, what else can I say?"

Gu Yan held her face again, glaring at him, "It’s all your fault, why did you have to be so good-looking, you’re doing it on purpose."

Alright then, blame him for this too. This time, he really had nothing to say.

When a woman acts unreasonably, which man can handle it?

Gu Yan exited the kitchen, ran to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, cooled down her cheeks, dried herself, and then returned to the kitchen.

Tang Yuxiu had already cut most of the vegetables, and she lit the stove to start cooking the prepared dishes.

While she was stir-frying, she suddenly remembered, "Where are Little Bao and Little Nian?"

She hadn’t seen them since she got back, and now she just remembered. She felt so guilty for neglecting them.

Tang Yuxiu replied, "When we left this morning, I asked Xiang Lan to take them out for some fun. Oh, and I specifically reminded them not to come back tonight."

Gu Yan, "..." At first, she didn’t get the meaning behind his words and stupidly asked, "Why don’t you want them to come back?"

But after seeing Tang Yuxiu’s suggestive wink, she fully understood.

Whoa, what’s with this guy and his impure thoughts again.

How can this man never forget about such things!

It’s too much, tossing the kids onto someone else and not letting them come back.

"Is this how you are as a father? Abandoning the kids just for your own selfish desires."

Tang Yuxiu felt wrongly accused and explained, "I didn’t abandon them, just let them stay at their aunt’s for one night. Besides, those two little rascals are eager to give us opportunities like this. They’re more enthusiastic and impatient than we are, dare you say you didn’t know?"

Gu Yan stammered, her head in a whirl, what is all this about? Those two little ones are completely unreliable when with their dad.

Gu Yan heavily stirred the vegetables in the pan twice, snorted, "Those two little ones, I bet they’d gleefully count money on the side even if they sold me off."

"How could they sell you, if selling, it’d be to me. Who else would dare buy you, I’d chop them up," Tang Yuxiu said.

Gu Yan glanced at him, "Why don’t you chop yourself up first."

Who would’ve thought Tang Yuxiu would break into a cheeky grin, "That won’t do, if I chop myself up, who will bless you with a surname?"

Gu Yan couldn’t resist this side of Tang Yuxiu, and found it scary!

She moved two steps aside, spatula still pointing at him, "Stay away from me, you seem out of your mind. I’m so scared, I don’t even dare to talk to you."

Tang Yuxiu, "..."

This kind of behavior didn’t suit him at all.

Actually, he felt awkward acting like this too, but he thought Gu Yan liked it.

Glad she didn’t like this demeanor of his—it spared him the tiring act.

In the kitchen, Tang Yuxiu chopped vegetables and Gu Yan stir-fried. They cooperated perfectly.

Only this kind of life was what they enjoyed.

No worldly disturbances, no worries, no barriers.

Yet, Gu Yan thought of that matter and furrowed her brows slightly.

Would her deceased parents blame her if they saw the current situation?

Gu Yan’s memory loss made her unaware that her parents’ death had nothing to do with Tang Yuxiu’s father. Someone harmed her father and framed Tang Yuxiu’s father back then.

This incident remained a thorn in her heart.

Even though she decided five years ago to let go and stop delving into the past and be with Tang Yuxiu, now that it was truly happening, a hint of hesitation and unease reemerged in her heart.

However, nothing could change her resolve to be with Tang Yuxiu.

She believed she would never find a man she loved so deeply, who also loved her so dearly, in this lifetime.

Moreover, they shared the blessing of a son and a daughter.

This was their greatest forgiveness.

It indicated that no matter what happened, they belonged together.

Gu Yan chuckled to herself, dismissing those thoughts.

With just the two of them eating, there weren’t many dishes, just three—a couple of stir-fries and a soup.

With the dishes on the table, they sat across from each other, just like before.

They ate, occasionally serving each other, enjoying the meal cheerfully.

The simplest joys in life were often the most ordinary and simple.

At this moment, they were neither the president of a large corporation nor world-famous musicians, just an ordinary man and woman...

Uh... with kids, male and female friends.

"How’s the taste?"

"Better than before."

"I love hearing that."

"I’m not just trying to flatter you, I’m telling the truth."

"I just love hearing this kind of honest talk."

Tang Yuxiu smiled as he put some ribs on her plate, "Eat more, you’re thinner than before."

"Without you, I can’t eat or sleep well, with work being busy, of course, I’d lose weight."

"I know, those words are just meant to flatter me. You had forgotten everything before; what do you know about me? But I like hearing such things too."

Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Then I’ll say more nice things in the future, so you can enjoy it."

"If that’s the case, our life will surely be sweet and happy." Tang Yuxiu glanced at her, "Yanyan, are you hinting at something?"

"Hinting at what?" Gu Yan didn’t quite understand and asked.

Tang Yuxiu just gave her a deep look, said no more, and focused on eating, quickening his pace. Anyway, there were only a few bites left, and after the meal, he had a few bites of the dish before stopping.

He got up to drink water, poured a glass for Gu Yan, and placed it next to her hand.

Gu Yan had just finished eating, drank the water, and tidied up the table.

Tang Yuxiu squeezed into the kitchen again, "I’ll help you wash the dishes."

"Better not, you help me dry and put them away."

"Alright." I’ll do whatever you say.

The two of them stood together in the small kitchen, time slowly flowing by, but happiness was kept at their fingertips, never fading away.

With the dishes washed and put away, the two sat in the living room watching TV.

Tang Yuxiu insisted on holding Gu Yan as they watched, insisting she lean into his arms.

Helpless, Gu Yan obliged, it was rather comfortable lying in his embrace anyway.

This time, he didn’t watch the same boring and tedious financial news but watched Korean dramas with her.

Tang Yuxiu looked disdainful, "What kind of plot is this, that guy isn’t even as handsome as me, what’s there to watch."

Though he grumbled with disdain, he didn’t change the channel, keeping her company as she watched.

Gu Yan gave him a peck on the cheek, "Alright, you’re the most handsome, be good, let’s watch TV."

Tang Yuxiu snorted arrogantly, staring at the TV with a straight face.

Yet he still found it very boring.
