“Together.” Gu Chengrui nodded. At the same time, he did not hide the look in his eyes; other than tenderness and sweetness, only possessiveness remained in them.
Zhou Ying was surprised and a little scared at the same time.
She lowered her head and blew the candles out.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui also lowered his head and blew on the candles. After he was done, he took out all the candles and handed her a knife. “You’re the birthday girl; you cut.”
After Zhou Ying took the knife, she was about to cut it when Gu Chengrui suddenly walked behind her, held her hand, and they cut the cake together.
Feeling his burning body temperature, Zhou Ying stood aside and used a paper tray to take two pieces of cake. She gave one to Gu Chengrui and said, “Here, I haven’t had cake for a long time; I sure miss it.”
“Same here.” Gu Chengrui took it and nodded in agreement.
However, he didn’t like eating sweet things and wasn’t thinking about the cake.
Seeing that she was eating with a blissful look, he also started to eat.
After two pieces of cake, Zhou Ying put down the paper tray and said, “1 shouldn’t eat any more cake for now; let’s eat dinner first.”
“Okay, try my steak and see if it’s cooked well.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he opened a lid on the side and pushed a plate to her.
He then poured her a glass of red wine.
Zhou Ying didn’t expect him to add two cherry tomatoes and a few pieces of pineapple to the side of the beef; it looked very pleasing to the eye.
She sat down and took a sip of red wine to get rid of the sweet taste of cream in her mouth. She then tasted the steak slowly before answering, “Your skills have improved. It’s tender and juicy, salty and delicious, and the marinating is also flavorful.”
“It’s great that you like it. I’ll make more for you when I’m free.” Gu Chengrui looked up and said.
After that, he pushed the salad between them and raised his glass. “Congratulations on growing up.”
“Why do these words sound so awkward? Why does it look like you are happier about my birthday than me?”
“Of course, I’m the biggest beneficiary here.” Gu Chengrui smiled and raised his hand to clink her cup.
“You wish.” Zhou Ying rolled her eyes at him, took a sip, and ignored him. She lowered her head and ate more of the food.
After the delicious meal, Gu Chengrui handed her the saffron tea he had prepared earlier.
He sat down, propped his chin on his hand, and sized her up thoughtfully.
Perhaps it was because of the atmosphere, but he realized she was much more beautiful than usual. There was also a gentleness that only she had, and it made his throat tighten.
Zhou Ying smiled and drank the saffron tea. She deliberately said, “You’re not full yet, right? Have another piece of cake.”
“The cake isn’t as delicious as you. Besides, we’ll have black-bone chicken soup for supper later.” Gu Chengrui got up and turned around to carry her to the bedroom.
The next day, Zhou Ying woke up and looked at the scene in the room. She was stunned momentarily before remembering that they had slept in the interspace and consummated their marriage.
She moved slightly, and a sharp pain came from her body as if she had been run over by a car. She couldn’t even sit up.
“Gu Chengrui, you beast,” she cursed.
Gu Chengrui, busy in the kitchen, heard her curse and laughed.
He couldn’t be blamed for this. He had been holding it in for several years, so naturally, he went all out when the dam burst.
Besides, if he weren’t afraid that her body wouldn’t be able to take it, he wouldn’t have left her any energy to scold him.
Nevertheless, he still had to coax her and soothe her mood. He brought a bowl of black-bone chicken soup in and said, “You must be hungry. Have a bowl of soup first.”
“Coming, help me brush my teeth and wash my face.” Zhou Ying ordered as she grabbed the pajamas on the side and put them on..
