Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

The afterglow of the setting sun shone softly on Gu Jinyan through the window. It was about 5: in the afternoon when he got home.

In the past, he would always return home after six o'clock, finish a busy day's work, and step into the house when night falls.

So, when Shen Xi was busy in the kitchen and heard some noise coming from the door, he was really surprised.

Shen Xi was concentrating on preparing dinner, stirring the food rhythmically with the spatula in his hand. Hearing the noise, he subconsciously poked his head out of the kitchen. The moment he saw Gu Jinyan, a hint of obvious surprise flashed in his eyes, and he was stunned for a moment, "Uncle, why did you come back so soon today? It's only a little after five o'clock now."

Shen Xi's voice was somewhat doubtful.

Gu Jinyan walked into the living room with steady steps, casually throwing his briefcase and straight suit jacket on the soft sofa. As he walked towards Shen Xi in the kitchen, he slowly rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, revealing his strong and powerful forearms.

"Xixi said on the phone that it was a very important matter, so I definitely want to know it as soon as possible."

His voice was low and magnetic, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a gentle smile.

After a while, he came to Shen Xi, with his sleeves rolled up neatly.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes falling on the ingredients in Shen Xi's hands, "Is there anything I can help you with?" His tone was full of concern, as if he couldn't wait to participate in Shen Xi's world.

"No." Shen Xi answered without raising his head. His hands did not stop moving. He skillfully put the cut side dishes into the pot. The pot instantly made a "sizzling" sound and an enticing aroma filled the air.

"Give me another half an hour and it will be ready. Go out and wait for me, uncle."

There was an unquestionable firmness in Shen Xi's voice. He didn't want Gu Jinyan to interfere. He just wanted to finish the dinner alone and give the other party a surprise.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinyan did not force it. He nodded slightly with a gentle smile on his face, "Okay, I'll wait outside for my Xixi to show off her cooking skills." After that, he turned and left the kitchen, strolling to the living room.

He sat casually on the sofa and picked up a financial magazine, but his eyes always drifted towards the kitchen unconsciously. Through the half-open kitchen door, he could see Shen Xi's busy figure, and his focused look made him feel warm. The densely packed text on the magazine did not catch his eye at all at this moment, and his mind was completely occupied by the boy in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Shen Xi was carrying out the final cooking steps in an orderly manner.

He seasoned and plated the food skillfully, and every movement revealed his seriousness and concentration.

He thought that since Gu Jinyan came back so early today, he must give him a delicious dinner.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and Shen Xi walked out of the kitchen carrying steaming dishes, "Uncle, it's time to eat!"

His voice was clear and loud, with a hint of pride.

Gu Jinyan put down the financial magazine that he had been holding in his hand for a long time without reading a single word, stood up and walked to the dining table.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, he did not hesitate to praise it.

"Thank you uncle for the compliment."

Gu Jinyan originally wanted to say something else, but Shen Xi looked at his expression and seemed to have guessed what he was going to say next.

Another sentence blocked him.

"I should thank my uncle for praising me, and stop saying bad things about me."

Gu Jinyan smiled helplessly. He really wanted to say what Shen Xi was thinking.

"You are getting to know me better."

"Uncle also understands me, so why can't I understand him?"

As Shen Xi spoke, he took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and two transparent high-heeled glasses.

"Uncle has no classes tomorrow, let's have a couple of drinks."

Although in Gu Jinyan's eyes, Shen Xi's alcohol tolerance was not very good and it was still a bit bad now, but now he was at home and could rest directly even if he was drunk.

I simply didn't say anything to refuse and just nodded in agreement.

Shen Xi carefully opened the bottle of red wine; the crisp "pop" sound was particularly pleasant in the warm restaurant.

He picked up the goblet and slowly poured red wine into it. The bright red liquid swirled in the glass, giving off a charming aroma.

Gu Jinyan took the wine glass, shook it gently, took a sip, and kept his eyes on Shen Xi.

"Xixi, this wine is a good choice."

There was a hint of appreciation in Gu Jinyan's voice.

Shen Xi raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a brilliant smile, "I picked it specially because I wanted to try it with my uncle."

The two clinked their glasses, and the crisp sound echoed in the air, as if cheering for this wonderful moment of reunion.

"By the way, doesn't Xixi have something to tell me?"
