Why The Big Villain Hasn’t Run Away

At this moment, Gu Ci’s computer was placed on the long table, and there was a water glass beside the computer. On the screen was dense English, which looked like some kind of contract details.

Gu Ci didn’t close the screen at all and didn’t guard against her. Yan Luqing accidentally took in the information in it.

She couldn’t help asking: “What are you doing?”

“It’s my uncle’s company.” Gu Ci replied, “There are things he wants me to help with.”

Yan Luqing slowly said “Oh”.

At the same time, a line of questions emerged in her heart: Has Gu Ci started to take the career line already?

It’s a lot earlier than in the original book, but this time her role has not become an obstacle to him, so it’s reasonable for it to be earlier.

In retrospect, Gu Ci’s career line is quite cool. He is a genius and ambitious. In the end, his position is simply the top of the proper food chain, and the business empire in Mary Sue’s novels is nothing more than this.

In short, the three words of ‘beautiful, strong and miserable’  are reflected incisively and vividly in Gu Ci.

“Why do you deal with it at this time? Can’t you deal with it during the day?”

After Yan Luqing asked, she bypassed the table, went to the cooking table and opened the transparent cabinet with all kinds of vegetables in it.

“He is abroad and there’s a time difference.”

“Then why are you dealing with it in the kitchen?”

This question is not answered as quickly as before.

Gu Ci was silent for a while and then said: “It’s more convenient when I feel hungry later.”

Yan Luqing said “Oh”, thinking that it is indeed so in her heart. Then she turned her head back and began to choose food in the cabinet again.

The atmosphere was so comfortable that she didn’t even notice that such a natural conversation suddenly freed her from the embarrassing and suffocating entanglement she had been in not long ago.

She heard the sound of typing on the keyboard from time to time from Gu Ci’s side, and just in the gap where he didn’t type, Yan Luqing heard a small growl from her own stomach, and her hunger became stronger.

At the same time, Gu Ci’s voice suddenly sounded behind her: “Can you cook a lot of dishes?”

Yan Luqing stopped all her movement and turned her head with a question mark on her face: “… I can’t. Why do you say that?”

“You’ve been standing in front of this cabinet for five minutes.” He looked over and said with a light expression, “Since you can’t, what else is there to choose?”

“……”

It’s that taste again.

Yan Luqing rolled her eyes: “I just carefully choose the side dish for the noodles I will be making later! Can’t I?!”

As if amused by her ‘side dish’, Gu Ci looked at her and suddenly bent his eyes: “Oh… You can cook noodles?”

“…” Yan Luqing felt that she had been insulted. While she turned on the fire, she tore open a bag of noodles with a loud tearing sound, “Of course I can.”

Although she has been eating in the cafeteria since she was a child, cooking instant noodles is still a basic skill.

Who knows that Gu Ci asked again: “Are your noodles delicious?”

“…” This sudden question made Yan Luqing suddenly turn silent.

She can accept many of her own shortcomings, but she really can’t accept her own cooking talent.

At first Yan Luqing said that she liked to cook, and the Dean and the Dean’s wife taught her with great interest, until later the Dean and the Dean’s wife begged her to give up.

It’s not that she hadn’t tried hard, but no matter how she tries, only the instant noodles is edible——

It’s merely ‘just edible’.

“…Isn’t eating instant noodles just to fill the stomach? Does it need to be delicious?” Yan Luqing thought of the tragic failures she had suffered, and said in a muffled voice, “It’s just cooking an instant noodle, can you even cook flowers out of it?”

She didn’t expect that as soon as the words landed, there was a slight sound of the chair movement behind her.

Gu Ci stood up and his long legs walked towards the food counter where she was standing. He took the strainer and long chopsticks from her hands naturally, looked down at the pot with his eyelashes down and said: “Let me try.”

Yan Luqing was stunned.

“What do you want to try?”

“Try…” Gu Ci raised his eyelids, and said with tone as if he was asking her, but also as if teasing her,”whether I can cook flowers out for you?”

“……”
