Chenxing was startled.
"Can you?"
He responded with a question, "What do you think?"
"You don't know how to, do you?" She asked tentatively.
Her cautious, probing tone made Gu Shaocheng burst into laughter. He lightly tapped her head, and jokingly threatened, "If the porridge you cook doesn't suit my taste, I might just sell you away!"
He was clearly trying to scare her!
Chenxing hummed her way to the kitchen. She felt incredibly happy as she hummed a tune and washed the tomatoes.
She was accompanied by someone in the kitchen who wanted to help, and it reminded her of the time when she had just joined the Gu family. She had cut her hand in the kitchen and he had exploded in rage. She felt terrified then, seeing him as an imposing figure who wouldn't tolerate any disobedience.
Looking back now, Chenxing truly understood that he genuinely cared for her and wouldn't tolerate her being wronged. She scolded herself for realizing this so late: "So silly."
But was she really silly?
