Chapter 493: 493 Yeah, we are a natural pair

Li Xiuli looked on, dumbstruck.

"Yingzhou, you can cook?"

She truly hadn’t expected Gu Yingzhou to step into the kitchen.

It was just that... the young man reeked of nobility, appearing completely out of place in a kitchen.

After Gu Yingzhou finished slicing the potatoes, he started on the tomatoes, his knife skills were admirable.

He casually replied, "A little."

After responding to the elder, he continued, "Auntie, let me do the cooking today! Try the food and give me some suggestions so I can improve."

Ever since he had visited the kitchen with Lin Tang a few times,

Gu Yingzhou thought that he couldn’t always eat out after getting married, nor could he let his girl spend all her time in the kitchen.

So he made a special effort to learn a few dishes.

He had acquired a family recipe from Xia Yunxiu, and when he went back to Sea City, he also picked up a few tips from Aunt Xiuying.

He had been practicing his cooking ever since.

Feeling that his skills had reached a passable level, he finally had the confidence to showcase them boldly.

Li Xiuli, unaware of Gu Yingzhou’s long-standing plot, hurriedly declined, "How could that be? You are a guest here; we can’t let you do that."

Gu Yingzhou smiled gently, "What’s wrong with that? I’m Tangtang’s partner, not a proper guest."

As he spoke, chop chop chop, he minced the meat.

He didn’t give her the cold shoulder or speak harshly, yet perhaps because they weren’t very familiar yet, Li Xiuli couldn’t quite bring herself to pull him out of the kitchen.

Lin Tang leaned against the door frame, peeking her head into the kitchen.

Upon seeing this scene, she rushed in.

Nudging Li Xiuli towards the door, she said, "Mom, let me help your future daughter-in-law. You go rest outside."

Li Xiuli was shoved out and had no choice but to sit back in the courtyard.

She sat down alright, but her eyes remained fixed on the kitchen, worried about any mishaps and thinking about timely interventions.

To her surprise, everything inside proceeded smoothly.

Even when the delicious aroma spread, all seemed well in hand.

Li Xiuli popped her head into the kitchen for another look.

Unable to resist, she quietly praised Lin Lu, "Hubby, do you think Yingzhou really exists? I can hardly believe it."

As she spoke, she counted on her fingers the reasons she was satisfied as a future mother-in-law.

"He’s handsome!"

"He has a good job!"

"He’s polite and speaks gently."

"And he can cook..."

Counting and counting, she hadn’t found any flaws yet.

Lin Lu also thought Gu Yingzhou was not bad.

Being able to cook was good; it would make life much lighter for their Tangtang.

However, he wasn’t too pleased to hear his wife sing another man’s praises to the skies.

Lin Lu, trying to look unimpressed, puffed his cheeks and frowned, his face full of discontent.

"Being able to cook is enough? Wouldn’t it be better to find a chef from a state-owned restaurant?"

Li Xiuli: "Are you just being argumentative?"

As she finished speaking, she muttered under her breath,

"That’s still better than you who only knows how to boil mushy noodles."

Lin Lu, who only knew how to boil mushy noodles, was thoroughly choked up, feeling offended and couldn’t help but give Li Xiuli an extra look of dissatisfaction.

-

Lin Tang was still unaware that the little boat outside the kitchen could overturn at any moment.

Watching Gu Yingzhou’s skilled movements, she was surprised.

"When did you learn how to cook?"

Wasn’t he a kitchen dunce before...

It hadn’t been that long.

Gu Yingzhou glanced at her briefly, his tone indifferent, "Is it difficult?"

Lin Tang retorted, "Isn’t it difficult?"

Cooking also required some technique and talent, right?

Otherwise, why would the same ingredients yield totally different results in the hands of different people, some creating a feast for the senses while others are a culinary Black Hole?

"Turn the heat down a little," Gu Yingzhou said, stirring the dish with ease and answered her question in a deliberate manner.

"I’m not sure how difficult it is for others, but for me, nothing is difficult,"

Such a statement, if made by someone else, would be somewhat boastful.

However, with his calm composure and stability like Mt. Tai,

when he says it, there’s naturally a convincing power to it.

Lin Tang carefully controlled the fire, raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and made a sound of agreement.

"What a coincidence, I feel the same way."

Gu Yingzhou looked down at the little one sitting on the stool, a deep and affectionate smile spilling from his mouth.

"Hmm, we are a natural match."

Somehow, Lin Tang managed to say these words without any reservations.

But when she heard the man say them with a husky laugh, her ears suddenly burned hot.

Feeling a bit embarrassed.

Not knowing what to say, Lin Tang simply chose to remain silent.

Kneeling and watching the fire, one couldn’t say she was merely well-behaved; she was extremely so.

Gu Yingzhou greatly enjoyed the time spent alone with the young lady, even in silence, his heart felt warm.

Knowing that Tangtang preferred stronger flavors, he didn’t mind the trouble and made a separate portion of fragrant and spicy rabbit meat just for her.

A dominant spicy scent wafted from the kitchen.

Lin Tang wasn’t bothered by the pungency; on the contrary, she loved it.

The hunger that had been nagging at her for a while was growing even stronger.

"I’m hungry, how much longer?" she couldn’t help but urge.

Gu Yingzhou served the fragrant spicy rabbit meat on a plate, picked up a piece with chopsticks, and brought it to Lin Tang’s mouth.

"Just one more dish, it’ll be ready soon. Why don’t you try this and see how it tastes?"

Just the smell alone convinced Lin Tang it must be good, and she ate it without a second thought.

She gave a thumbs-up.

"Delicious!"

The craftsmanship was quite impressive.

After quickly chewing and swallowing, she said with a beaming smile, "It’s exactly to my taste, I’m in for a treat from now on."

Seeing the young lady genuinely enjoying it, Gu Yingzhou’s heart eased a little.

"As long as you like it, wait for the future... I’ll cook different things for you,"

Xia Yunxiu’s cookbook he gave me has plenty of recipes, I guarantee a different meal each month.

Lin Tang licked her lips and responded, "Alright, I’ll be waiting."

A man who can cook is a huge bonus!

Comrade Gu is still off-the-charts handsome today.

Lin Lu and Li Xiuli silently crept up to the kitchen door, both pairs of eyes sneakily peering inside.

Thinking if the two youngsters dared to do anything untoward, they’d rush in.

But they didn’t catch any wrongdoing, just felt a punch to their senses from the get-go.

Li Xiuli saw Yingzhou feeding her daughter and instinctively covered her eyes.

A big gap remained between her fingers, and she couldn’t help but crack a smile.

Eye candy!

Such a delight for the eyes!

But it was also a bit cloying.

Making one feel sick from the sweetness.

Lin Lu, however, had a completely different reaction to the scene than his wife; he was on the verge of hopping mad.

As Li Xiuli saw him rolling up his sleeves, ready to storm into the kitchen, she quickly pulled him back.

Covering Lin Lu’s mouth, she dragged him aside.

"What are you doing? What do you think you’re doing?" Li Xiuli’s frown was so tight it could kill a mosquito.

Lin Lu, feeling indignant, said, "What am I doing, what can I do, I’m just going to call Tangtang out!"

They’re neither engaged nor married, what does feeding her signify?!

Li Xiuli rolled her eyes in disapproval and retorted, "Why call Tangtang out? Let the two youngsters develop their relationship. Why do you have to be a third wheel?"

"I’ve made myself clear, don’t you mess things up for me. I’m very pleased with Yingzhou.

If you dare scare away my son-in-law, just see how I settle the score with you."

Lin Lu felt all his grievances bubbling up with nowhere to vent after his wife’s stern warning.

Seeing the fierce look on Li Xiuli’s face, he inexplicably felt deflated.
