De Nü casually nodded. “Why send me back? Aren’t you tired of sending me around every day?”
”Then just agree to marry me, so I won’t have to…”
”Stop! Don’t talk about this topic anymore, my ears will grow calluses.” She took a big bite of tempura. Hmm! Delicious.
Long Jie closed his mouth aggrievedly.
”What were you going to say about taking me back?” She had a good memory and remembered the topic he was interrupted from, partly because she couldn’t bear to see his disappointed look.
”To go to cooking class with Xiao Qi,” he said.
”Cooking class?” De Nü raised her eyebrows.
”Yes, you said you like French cuisine, but Xiao Qi doesn’t know how to make it. So I thought since I’ve troubled her so much, I’d pay her tuition, and we’ll learn French cooking together. This way, you won’t think I’m not as good as Xiao Qi.”
De Nü was stunned.
A sudden emotional impact choked her throat. “I…”
She reached out and touched his rough chin. This Prince Charming that many women would want, though in her eyes he was an unqualified husband candidate, was still so earnestly trying to meet her requirements!
”Actually, I was just teasing you. You didn’t need to take it so seriously.” Her nose was slightly red.
”I know!” He laughed at her surprised face. “But I think what you said makes sense. I’ll meet your requirements one by one. When you finally feel secure, maybe you’ll be willing to spend your life with me. So I’m still winning!”
His words truly filled her eyes with tears.
It’s not difficult for a man to fall in love with a woman, but it’s hard for a man to truly cherish his woman.
Her personality might be seen as a flaw by other men, but he appreciated and loved her unique qualities. This man loved her far more and was a hundred times more mature than she imagined!
Looking at it this way, she was the immature one.
”Why are you crying? Is the food that bad?” he gently hugged her shoulders.
She looked up and impulsively kissed him. With her mouth full of tempura oil, she smeared oil and fragrance all over his mouth.
He happily accepted her “assault”!
Perhaps, after she finished kissing him, she would tell him – she really loved him!
She still needed a bit more security, but she also knew this day would eventually come.
So she was willing to accept the fact that he would be by her side for decades, though she’d tell him this after she’d tried enough of the world-famous dishes he was learning, to prevent him from “giving up halfway”!
Hmm, delicious!
If you ask what’s delicious, go try it yourself! The noble miss has nothing more to say!
