4620 Never Too Late to Love (27)

Gu Chengze walked to the kitchen. In the afternoon, he had asked Auntie Xu to buy some tomatoes and eggs. These ingredients were the most important because they were Bai Sheng’s favorite. He calmly put on his apron and started washing the vegetables.

Bai Sheng had seen many people cook, and the one who left the deepest impression had to be her aunt, Ye Yuqin.

The small kitchen was always filled with oil and smoke.

Ye Yuqin was a person with a lot of negative energy. Her husband was not an ambitious man career-wise, and the family budget was tight.

Every time she cooked, she could be heard nagging as she cut the vegetables. She would be either criticizing her husband’s inadequate salary that could hardly cover their expenses or complaining about how much money she had lost playing mahjong at the neighbor’s house.

That endless nagging, coupled with the sound of chopping vegetables, always made people feel inexplicably irritated.

However, watching Gu Chengze cook was a pleasure.

His every move was so elegant and natural, with a sense of carelessness. Although his movements were neither fast nor slow, they were methodical. Even when he was cutting the vegetables, he kept a straight posture, making people wonder if he was from the army. Otherwise, how could he have such a carriage?

Even as he was preparing the vegetables, he did not neglect her. “Why are you standing at the door? Don’t you want to watch TV?”

“Observing and learning.” Bai Sheng smiled and refused to leave.

This was because watching him cook was like a visual indulgence. After the ingredients had been cut and put into the pot, Gu Chengze held the handle of the knife and began to stir-fry. From the angle of the door, he looked elegant, confident, handsome, and dashing…

Bai Sheng felt that being able to marry such a man, although it had been a little muddled, was still like a pie falling from the sky.

She suddenly felt a little dejected. She felt that this man was really outstanding. Comparing herself to him, she suddenly felt much inferior.

Nowadays, relationships are about matching family backgrounds.

This was what she had concluded from her blind dates. Suitability was like an equal transaction.

Although Gu Chengze didn’t care much about these things when he married her, she felt that there was a huge difference in their capabilities.

Such a man was outstanding at work and had an outstanding character. Most importantly, he could even handle housework. Compared to him…

Bai Sheng lowered her head in shame. No, she had to learn how to cook too.

Bai Sheng walked to his side and said with a smile, “Mr. Gu, will you teach me how to cook?”

The man suddenly turned around and looked at her intently.

Bai Sheng felt guilty from his stare. She pinched the corner of her shirt and said nervously, “I… Although I’m not very intelligent, I’ll definitely learn it after a few practices.”

Gu Chengze suddenly said, “Shouldn’t you change the way you address me?”

“What?”

“Since we’re married, why are you still calling me Mr. Gu?”

“Well then …” Bai Sheng ventured, “Chengze.”

Gu Chengze put the lid over the pot and looked at the ceiling, feeling rather exasperated.

He turned around lovingly and leaned against the table with his arms crossed. “Mrs. Gu, you should call me Hubby, not Chengze.”

This was how the elders of the Gu family addressed him and it had a serious ring to it.

“Oh…” Bai Sheng turned a bright scarlet instantly.

When they were in university, many lovey-dovey campus couples would address each other Hubby or Wifey.

She had always thought it was ridiculous. She felt that since they were not married, they shouldn’t be using those forms of address.

But now, they were both married…

Why did it feel so awkward still?
