Divorced after three years, the crazy CEO was furious

Chapter 177 Lu Ningxing jumps into the pit to work as a maid for Gu Tingchen

Lu Ningxing carefully searched for ingredients in the full refrigerator, and finally took out an egg, two vegetable leaves, and some fresh meat.

While she was busy, she smiled and said to Gu Tingchen, "Gu Tingchen, you have to eat whatever I cook, understand? You can't be picky!"

After saying that, he winked playfully.

Gu Tingchen looked at Lu Ningxing quietly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and nodded gently: "Yeah!"

His eyes always stayed on Lu Ningxing, as if he could never look enough.

Although Lu Ningxing seldom goes into the kitchen, this does not prevent her from showing her outstanding cooking talent.

For her, cooking is a piece of cake, as natural and smooth as drinking water.

She expertly picked up two leaves, rinsed them under the tap, and set them aside for later use.

Then she picked up a small pot, poured in an appropriate amount of water, clicked a button, and waited for the water to boil.

As time went by, the water in the pot gradually boiled and a series of bubbles emerged.

Lu Ningxing put the washed vegetable leaves into the pot and stirred them gently with chopsticks to allow the leaves to be fully heated and cooked.

The leaves roll in the water, emitting a faint fragrance.

Lu Ningxing carefully observed the state of the leaves, making sure they were cooked but not overcooked.

When the leaves become soft and bright green, she quickly removes them, drains them, and places them on a plate for later use.

Next, Lu Ningxing began to process the meat.

She cut the fresh meat into thin slices and arranged them neatly on the chopping board.

She skillfully picked up a sharp knife and cut the meat into small, even pieces.

Every cut was made with precision, showing her superb knife skills.

The cut meat pieces are put into a bowl, and appropriate amount of seasonings such as salt, light soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. are added and stirred evenly to allow the meat pieces to fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning.

At the same time, the frying pan on another stove had been heated, and Lu Ningxing poured in an appropriate amount of oil.

After the oil temperature rises, she carefully puts the marinated meat into the pan and fryes it until both sides are golden brown.

The meat pieces sizzled in the hot oil, giving off an enticing aroma.

Lu Ningxing turned the meat pieces from time to time to ensure that they were heated evenly and fried until cooked through.

Finally, she scooped out the fried meat and placed it on the vegetable leaves, creating a side dish that was both delicious and fragrant.

Throughout the cooking process, Lu Ningxing's movements were skillful and her expression was focused.

She takes every step seriously and strives to make delicious food.

Gu Tingchen looked at her silently, his heart filled with emotion and warmth.

He knew that Lu Ningxing not only took care of him in life, but was also willing to make more efforts for him.

This thought made him feel extremely happy.

Finally, Lu Ningxing finished all the dishes.

She picked up the plate, walked to the dining table, and placed the delicacies neatly.

Then, she looked at Gu Tingchen with a smile and said, "Gu Tingchen, come and try the food I cooked!"

Gu Tingchen walked quickly to the dining table and sat down, his eyes full of anticipation.

He picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

The meat is tender and juicy with an excellent taste, and it goes well with the refreshing leaves.

Gu Tingchen couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Delicious! Very delicious!"

When Lu Ningxing heard his praise, a happy smile appeared on her face.

She also sat down and enjoyed this warm dinner with Gu Tingchen.

As time went by, the water in the pot gradually boiled, making a gurgling sound.

Lu Ningxing watched the changes in the pot intently, adjusting the heat from time to time to ensure that the water temperature was just right.

Her slender fingers manipulated the kitchen utensils flexibly, and every movement looked so elegant and skillful.

Lu Ningxing put all the ingredients into the pot one by one and waited for the water to boil.

She watched the noodles carefully to make sure each one was cooked thoroughly.

When the water began to boil, she quickly threw the chopped greens into the pot, letting them simmer in the hot broth.

Finally, she carefully turned off the fire, declaring the bowl of noodles done.

Lu Ningxing picked up the noodles that had just come out of the pot, walked carefully to Gu Tingchen, and gently placed them on the bar.

She looked at him expectantly, her eyes sparkling with excitement and pride.

“Try it, it must be delicious!”

Lu Ningxing smiled particularly brightly, and her charming fox eyes narrowed into slits.

She was confident in her cooking skills and believed that this bowl of noodles would bring a surprise to Gu Tingchen.

Gu Tingchen looked at Lu Ningxing quietly, his dark black eyes were deep and restrained.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Are you sure?" he asked softly, his voice low and magnetic.

Lu Ningxing nodded vigorously, with a confident smile on her face. "That's a must!"

She said firmly, then gently pushed the bowl of noodles in front of her and said softly, "Eat, eat quickly!"

She was looking forward to Gu Tingchen tasting the deliciousness of this bowl of noodles, and she also hoped to convey her feelings through this bowl of noodles.

Gu Tingchen looked at the bowl of steaming noodles in front of him, picked up the chopsticks with a strong hand, straightened his back, picked up a mouthful of noodles gracefully, and then began to eat in a gentlemanly manner.

When he put the first bite of noodles into his mouth, he suddenly paused.

However, even though the taste of the food was not to his liking, due to his good upbringing and some special feelings for Lu Ningxing deep in his heart, Gu Tingchen finally forced himself to swallow the food in his mouth.

He tried hard to control his facial expression and not let himself show any displeasure.

After a moment, he coughed lightly, and then said in a low and gentle voice: "Well, it tastes good."

Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

When Lu Ningxing heard the words praising her cooking skills, she felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She smiled triumphantly, her eyes full of pride: "I told you it was delicious!"

Her smile is as bright as the sun, making people want to look at her a few more times.

Gu Tingchen looked at the inexplicable confidence on Lu Ningxing's face and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

He frowned slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he found the scene a little funny.

“Is this your first time cooking for someone else?”

Gu Tingchen suddenly asked, his eyes falling on Lu Ningxing with a bit of curiosity.

Lu Ningxing nodded, with a happy smile on her face: "Yes, I have never cooked before."

There was a hint of pride in her tone, as if this was something very remarkable.

After hearing this, Gu Tingchen couldn't help but feel touched.

He didn't expect Lu Ningxing would try to cook for him. This thought made him feel particularly warm.

At this time, Gu Tingchen walked to the refrigerator, opened the door and took out a bottle of mineral water.

He tilted his head back and drank in big gulps. The cool water slid down his throat, relieving the discomfort caused by the food.

After drinking the water, he took a deep breath and felt much refreshed.

Lu Ningxing watched Gu Tingchen drink water and couldn't help wondering why he drank so quickly.

Are you really that thirsty?

She asked curiously, "Are you thirsty? Why are you drinking water so quickly?"

"Grrrrrr!"

Gu Tingchen drank the entire bottle of water in one breath, and then slowly answered: "Yes! I haven't drunk any water all day, so I'm really thirsty now... cough cough!"

After hearing this, Lu Ningxing nodded in surprise to show her understanding.

"Oh! Then go eat your noodles quickly. If you don't eat quickly, the noodles will clump together."

Lu Ningxing looked at Gu Tingchen still standing beside her and urged him quickly.

Gu Tingchen walked back to the table with a helpless look on his face, sat down slowly, picked up the chopsticks, and slowly ate the noodles mouthful by mouthful.

He ate slowly, but took every bite seriously.

Soon, Gu Tingchen finished the whole bowl of noodles.

After finishing the noodles, he still seemed thirsty, so he stood up and walked to the refrigerator, took out another bottle of water, and started gulping it down again.

After Gu Tingchen finished drinking the water, he put the empty bottle on the bar.

Lu Ningxing stared at the two empty bottles, her eyes suddenly brightened: "Gu Tingchen, you actually drank so much water, so your stomach must be full of water now."

"Yeah, I need to drink a lot of water every day."

"Ohhhh... So that's how it is."

"Um... I still have this water bottle. Don't you want it?"

Gu Tingchen couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Why would Lu Ningxing suddenly ask such a strange question? "I've already drunk all the water. What's the point of keeping this bottle?"

Lu Ningxing carefully picked up a water bottle, pointed at the small broken bricks on the bottle, and said in surprise: "These are bricks. It's a pity to just throw them away like this."

"Why? You want to switch to collecting junk?"

Lu Ningxing looked at the other person with confusion. She really couldn't understand why he asked that.

After a moment's silence, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said seriously, "Do you want to hire a servant?"

Hearing this, the other party couldn't help but laugh out loud and teased: "Why? The eldest daughter of the Lu family is also short of money?"

Lu Ningxing rolled her eyes at him and secretly cursed the extravagant life of this rich kid in her heart.

However, on the surface, he could only helplessly answer: "My family is not as wealthy as yours, and I have always upheld the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation - diligence and thrift, so this is the case."

Gu Tingchen looked at the quirky girl in front of him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Are you sure you want to come here to be my servant?"

"Yes! I will collect the water bottles in your house from now on." Lu Ningxing said with sparkling eyes.

"Do you think being a maid only involves collecting water bottles?" Gu Tingchen looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Then what else do we need to do?" Lu Ningxing asked with some confusion.

"What does your maid do?" Gu Tingchen continued to ask.

"My maids have different tasks. Some cook, some clean the house, some take care of the vegetable garden, and some take care of the forest..."

Lu Ningxing answered seriously.

Gu Tingchen sat on the chair, leaning back, and asked calmly: "Then tell me what you are responsible for?"

Lu Ningxing really didn't want to choose anything. She looked at Gu Tingchen pitifully and said, "Can I just collect the water bottles? I don't want to do anything else..."

Gu Tingchen felt that the flesh in his mouth was about to fly away, his face became a little gloomy, and he said coldly: "No!"

He muttered to himself, this little girl is really a headache.

Lu Ningxing's heartbeat quickened when she was frightened by Gu Tingchen's sudden dark face. She pouted and said softly, "I won't do it anymore, okay?"

There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in his voice.

Gu Tingchen looked at Lu Ningxing quietly. Her pitiful appearance made his heart move slightly, but then he became firm again.

He said calmly, "No, who do you think I am? Am I a place where you can leave and come as you please?"

There was a hint of coldness and determination in his tone.

Lu Ningxing felt annoyed and thought that she was really shooting herself in the foot.

She regretted it so much. If she had known this would happen, she should not have agreed to this request.

Now I am in a dilemma and don’t know what to do.

"But I don't know how to do these things! Wuuuuu..."

Lu Ningxing felt extremely wronged, tears welling up in her eyes.

She blamed herself for being too greedy, but now she is in trouble. She is like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express her pain.

"Woo! I was wrong, is that okay? I don't want to be a maid, I was just kidding."

Lu Ningxing cried very sadly, and her tears kept flowing like pearls from a broken string.

Her voice carried a hint of despair and helplessness, which made people feel heartbroken.

Gu Tingchen looked at the crying girl in front of him and couldn't help but feel a surge of pity in his heart.

He sighed softly and said in a low and deep tone: "I am a person who doesn't like to joke. Come here tomorrow. If you don't come, I will bankrupt the Lu Group, believe it or not."

Although his words were plain, they revealed an unquestionable majesty.

When Lu Ningxing heard this, her body trembled violently and tears flowed out.

She finally realized that she had offended the wrong person, a powerful person who could easily destroy her family.

She felt extremely regretful and self-blame. Why did she provoke such a person?

She ran over quickly, raised her hands, and pounded Gu Tingchen's chest hard, crying and saying, "Wuwuwu! Gu Tingchen, you are a bad guy, a big bad guy."

Her fist landed on Gu Tingchen's body, but without any strength, it seemed like she was acting coquettishly.

Gu Tingchen silently endured Lu Ningxing's beating, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand, hugged Lu Ningxing's slender waist tightly, and pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his head and said in a low and gentle voice: "Yes, yes, I am a bad guy, don't cry."

His voice was full of pampering and comfort, as if he was coaxing a child.

However, Lu Ningxing did not stop crying. She continued to sob and mutter, "I'm crying, I'm crying!"

She seemed to want to vent all her grievances and burst into tears without caring about her image.

Gu Tingchen sighed helplessly. He patted Lu Ningxing's back gently, trying to calm her down.

He knew that it was useless to say anything now. He could only wait until she cried enough before she could slowly calm down.

So, he stayed with her quietly, letting her cry in his arms...
