Gu Mengmeng’s face flushed. “Whatever thoughts you are thinking now, they are all immoral transactions!”
Snakel nodded as if realization had dawned upon him. He said thoughtfully, “So cooking is an immoral transaction… so you intend to receive the salary of a ‘special assistant’ but are unwilling to do any work, is that it?”
“Cooking?” Gu Mengmeng was stunned.
Snakel nodded. “Otherwise, what did you think I wanted?”
Gu Mengmeng’s face turned even redder. She really wished to just bash her head against the wall and die right then.
Who was he? The reputable CEO of MonSir! There are countless people out there who would die for the chance to have the slightest bit of contact with him. Just take a look at his dashing manner at S College—he just needed to hold open one arm and all the prettiest girls in school would instantly pounce onto him.
Would such a person need to stoop so low with her?!
Tsk, she had been thinking too much.
A one-sided way of thinking was something that could be pretty embarrassing.
But Gu Mengmeng was rather thick-skinned. She was used to embarrassment.
Gu Mengmeng asked with a laugh, “So what does senior want to eat? I will make it for you.”
Snakel gestured at the spacious kitchen with his chin. “Anything, I am not fussy and can eat anything.”
“Got it…” This was a piece of good news. Gu Mengmeng immediately headed for the kitchen.
Opening the three-door refrigerator, she found it well-stocked, with the items arranged in an orderly manner. It was the kind of neatness that someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder would find comfort in.
Gu Mengmeng retrieved some ingredients and made a simple meal of minced meat with asparagus, stir-fried egg with tomato, steamed mandarin fish and bean sprout soup.
“Three dishes and one soup, reminds one of home.” After Gu Mengmeng set the table, she went to take off her apron and set it neatly at the side. When she returned to the dining table, Snakel was already seated there, but had yet to take up his chopsticks. He just watched her quietly, obviously waiting for her to join him.
How long had it been since someone had waited for her to partake in a meal? Gu Mengmeng felt inexplicably moved.
Sitting opposite Snakel, Gu Mengmeng picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Snakel’s bowl. “Senior, try this fish. See if you like it.”
Snakel smiled warmly. “I like it.” Only then did he place the fish in his mouth.
Gu Mengmeng grunted. “Humoring me. Saying you like it even before tasting it?”
Snakel’s gazed lingered over Gu Mengmeng. “I will like whatever you give me.”
Gu Mengmeng choked on her rice and she coughed violently. Turning red, no one knew whether it was because of her coughing or because she was embarrassed. She waved. “Eat, eat. We shouldn’t talk while eating.”
Snakel didn’t say anything more but just quietly started eat.
They finished everything, with not even a scrap left.
Snakel stood at the kitchen doorway, watching Gu Mengmeng washing dishes at the sink. An unprecedented sense of warmth and bliss surfaced in his eyes.
Twomeng, so this is how it feels to have you in my life.
Although this is just the first day, I am already… addicted.
Gu Mengmeng finished the dishes and wiped her hands dry. She turned and was startled to see Snakel standing there. “What are you standing there for?”
Snakel pulled Gu Mengmeng by the wrist and led her to the second floor. He pushed open the door to a room. “There, your room.”
“Mi… mine?” Gu Mengmeng pointed at her own nose in disbelief.
