Chapter 696: Chapter 696

It was rare, having left the country and arrived in the Latin world, where the dietary habits were so different from back home. One must imagine that finding these few common Chinese dishes was quite a painstaking effort for the chef.

"Thank you, I like it very much," Gu Nuan said, standing in front of the porridge and side dishes.

As a result, his outstretched finger gently flicked her forehead: Who are you thanking? Can’t you even turn your face a little?

Gu Nuan was indeed a little embarrassed, shy, slightly excited, moved, unable to control herself. Read full story at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

He was really good to her, not to mention money, take boiling rice porridge for example, it has nothing to do with how much money one has, but like Wa Zicong, he had never done this for her before.

The little one pouted, not knowing how to deal with her.

Her embarrassment seemed to have infected him.

The atmosphere suddenly became super weird.

He had intended to grumble at her, but as long as he thought that all she did was for his elder sister’s family, any complaints would definitely seem unreasonable.

Scratching his head, the little buddy decided to go hide out in the bathroom for a bit to cool down.

Just as he turned to leave, suddenly a hand pulled him back, and then, unexpectedly, a kiss landed on his cheek.

Such a sudden kiss, Gu Nuan, with her eyes closed, didn’t dare to open them, and thus, she could feel his near lips scratchy from stubble all the more with her skin.

A pang hit her in the heart all of a sudden.

It turned out that no matter how much this man pretended, the night Xiao Shumei was taken away, the one who was hit hardest must have been him himself, since he had promised to go and personally intervene, but in the end, he failed to bring her back. There may have been many reasons, none his fault, but who asked him to be the only son of the Xiao Family.

Feeling her trembling lips, Xiao Yebai instantly understood something, his gaze deepened, and with a seriousness akin to the older generation, he gently pushed her away and said, "I am the man of the household."

She didn’t need to feel pity for him or share the guilt he carried.

Gu Nuan looked up at his tall form, standing before her like a mountain.

His hand ruffled her hair before he walked away.

Gu Nuan just felt that from his touch, the pounding in her heart didn’t stop.

The little one’s instantly transformed charm seemed irresistible to any woman.

This kind of feeling, it was so reassuring.

Gu Nuan quickly took a breath, sat at the table as if nothing had happened, lifted the lid of the pot, and started to eat her porridge.

He stood in the corner, pursing his lips and observing the subtle changes on her face out of the corner of his eye with an expression like an old cat, unseen by her.

The Zhao Family was gathered together at this moment, making a decision that they had never even considered before.

It wasn’t about the life and death of the Zhao Family.

But it was indeed directly related to the Zhao Family’s survival.

"I don’t think Yebai would agree," Mrs. Zhao said with a frown.

Even though the idea was very good.

Zhao Zirong didn’t give up right away and tried, "We can, try to communicate with him privately first. Besides, he’s not an unbending man; he won’t just dismiss it outright."

Mr. Zhao listened and nodded, "It’s just, at this critical moment, to have her take up this position. Actually, this is also to the advantage of the two young people, isn’t it? Xiao Jianming is against them, thinking she’s not capable enough. If he knew that the Zhao Corporation is preparing to hire her as CEO, wouldn’t Xiao Jianming have to regard her in a new light?"
