Xiang Wanqiao worked hard for a long time before finally finishing cooking all the dishes.

She asked the servants to help bring all the dishes to the dining table outside, took off her apron, washed her hands, and then walked happily into the living room.

"Honey, the food is ready, come and eat."

Gu Jingzhan raised his eyes nonchalantly but did nothing.

Xiang Wanqiao walked up to him, took his hand, and shook his arm: "Why are you still sitting there? Come on! Don't you want to taste my cooking?"

Gu Jingzhan felt sad, but seeing that she looked so impatient and didn't want to say anything unpleasant to spoil her fun, he had to stand up expressionlessly and follow her back to the restaurant.

"Look, all the dishes I cooked today are your favorite." Xiang Wanqiao pushed him to sit down and served him some food. "Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Gu Jingzhan looked at the dishes on the table in front of him. They looked good, and were delicious.

He felt a little better, and even before he ate he praised, "Mm, it's delicious."

"You haven't even eaten yet!"

The man concealed the complicated emotions in his eyes and smiled slightly, "You know it's delicious without having to taste it."

"Hey, try it first!"

Xiang Wanqiao fed the food directly to his mouth, her beautiful eyes staring at him.

Gu Jingzhan was slightly stunned, then slowly opened his mouth under her gaze and ate the food she fed him.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xiang Wanqiao looked at him expectantly, as if asking for praise.

Gu Jingzhan chewed it for a few times and found that his craftsmanship was indeed very good, the taste was excellent and delicious.

This was the first time he had eaten food she had cooked herself. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was not at peace at all.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Xiang Wanqiao felt a little uneasy, "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"

"No, it's delicious." He replied calmly.

"Then why didn't you give me any response?" Xiang Wanqiao was not very satisfied with his answer and pouted her lips in grievance. "Besides, your answer is exactly the same as before. It's obvious that you are just trying to fool me."

Gu Jingzhan looked at her quietly.

After a moment, he reached out and clasped the back of her neck, then leaned over and kissed her soft lips lightly, as if a feather had brushed past them.

"So? Are you still being perfunctory?" The man's voice was low, mellow and clear, which made people intoxicated.

Xiang Wanqiao's cheeks flushed slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of shyness on her face, "No... I won't be perfunctory."

Gu Jingzhan smiled and gently played with her hair with his fingertips. "Why don't you ask the servants in the kitchen to help you? It will be very tiring to cook so many dishes by yourself."

"It's okay. I'm not tired." Xiang Wanqiao looked at him apologetically. "Besides, I want to make it up to you."

"Make it up to me?" Gu Jingzhan was a little confused.

Xiang Wanqiao bit her lip, lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you hated pumpkin. I thought you loved it, so I kept picking some for you last night."

"Is that why?"

"Yes, but not entirely." Xiang Wanqiao reflected on herself, "I used to treat you very badly. I always said a lot of unpleasant things to make you unhappy, and I always contradicted you and made you unhappy."

She is now like a child who has made a mistake, enumerating her mistakes in front of her parents in order to seek forgiveness.

Gu Jingzhan chuckled and said, "It's not too late to know now, later..."

When he said the word "later", his voice suddenly stopped and he didn't continue.

Xiang Wanqiao suddenly raised her head, patted her chest, and vowed: "Don't worry, I will work hard to correct my mistakes in the future. I will not make you unhappy again, and I will not make the same mistake again."

The depression in Gu Jingzhan's heart faded away by half, and his dark eyes contained a bit of tenderness, but at the same time, they also concealed a bit of inquiry.

after?

Will they really have a future?

After dinner.

Gu Jingzhan received an urgent conference call and went to the study right after finishing his meal.

Xiang Wanqiao knew that he was busy with work and didn't bother him.

She came to Gu Jingzhan's room, and as soon as she opened the door, she smelled a faint scent of ebony, which was his inherent scent.

The bedroom was clean and tidy, with every item placed in its proper place, very meticulous, just like Gu Jingzhan's character, rigorous, calm and meticulous.

The style of the entire bedroom is also very simple and cold, with black and gray as the main colors, which makes people feel somewhat depressed.

Xiang Wanqiao took a good look around the bedroom, then went to the cloakroom to get a set of pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Xiang Wanqiao came out with half-dry hair, took her laptop and sat on the sofa in the bedroom to check the investigation materials sent by her subordinate Zhounian.

She casually opened one of the folders, which contained all the investigation materials about Xiao Xuan'an.

Because of her connections, Xiao Xuan'an has gained a lot of connections in the past few years, and has slowly developed his own power, using it to compete with his half-brother Xiao Muchen for the right to inherit the Xiao family.

Although Xiao Qigang favored his illegitimate son and wanted to make Xiao Xuan'an his legitimate son, so that he could recognize his ancestors and inherit the Xiao family and Xiao clan, Mr. Xiao refused to acknowledge Xiao Xuan'an as his illegitimate son, and only wanted to hand over the Xiao family and Xiao clan to his eldest son and grandson Xiao Muchen.

Because of this, Xiao Xuan'an always held a grudge against Grandpa Xiao. Finally, he joined forces with his father Xiao Qigang to kill Grandpa Xiao. He also tampered with the will made by Grandpa Xiao before his death, successfully took the position of the head of the Xiao family, and inherited the Xiao Group.

Everything he obtained in his previous life was obtained at the cost of many lives of our Xiang family.

Xiang Wanqiao's eyes were cold, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails dug into the flesh, causing painful pain in her palms.

But compared to the pain I endured in my previous life, this pain is nothing.

Xiao Xuan'an, in this life I will make you pay back what you owe me bit by bit!

study

"Brother Zhan, our business in Europe has been inexplicably interrupted recently. We have lost hundreds of millions in the past two days alone."

Gu Jingzhan frowned, tapping the table with his fingertips, his voice cold and stern: "Have you found out who did it?"

"I haven't found anything yet, but we can rule out the possibility that it's a local European underworld force, because I contacted Mr. Collins this afternoon."

"No matter what, we must find out who is behind this as soon as possible." Gu Jingzhan thought for a few seconds and then said, "By the way, check Xiao Xuan'an to see if he has anything to do with this matter."

"You are suspicious..."

"Ah."

The person on the phone was silent for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help but persuade: "Brother, that woman doesn't love you at all, why do you still want to keep her by your side? Aren't you afraid that one day she..."

"When did you become so nosy?" Gu Jingzhan's face was gloomy, and his low voice was filled with a hint of displeasure.

"We are doing this for your own good."

"I know my own business."

The person on the phone sighed helplessly and said, "You always say the same thing, can you try something new?"

Gu Jingzhan changed the subject directly: "After the bidding conference is over next week, I will go to Europe in person."

"Okay, tell me before you come."

"Ah."
