Gu Qingcheng's lips curved into crescents as she smiled, her eyes reflecting her amusement at Huo Sicheng's words.
Huo Sicheng's playful remark elicited laughter from her.
He dared her to do something, and despite the years that had passed, he understood her well enough to predict her reactions.
She might not challenge him with words, but if provoked, she was willing to take bold actions.
With a hint of anger, she picked up the food in front of Huo Sicheng, her tone laced with annoyance. "I put so much effort into cooking for you, only for it to go to waste. If you don't eat it, you're to blame."
Huo Sicheng's eyes had lit up when he learned she was cooking for him, and he grasped her wrist. His handsome face tensed as he took the food from her and set it on the table.
The tension in the room escalated, "How dare you!"
