nAfter a short while, Su Luo finished making breakfast. Gu Zhan helped her bring the food to the dining table.

n

nThe entire room was filled with the aroma of food.

n

n“Hi sweeties, wash your hands and eat!”

n

nSu Luo called out.

n

nGu Xi sniffed; her eyes instantly lit up. She ran over, “Mommy, what did you make? It smells so good!”

n

nGu Bei did not say a word. He climbed onto the stool and sat down. He stared at the steaming bowl of noodles on the dining table and drooled.

n

nSu Luo carried Gu Xi to the chair and introduced, “Poached egg noodles. Try it while it’s fresh.”

n

nGu Zhan also sat down. Su Luo handed him a pair of chopsticks. Her eyes were filled with anticipation. “Come on, try it.”

n

nGu Zhan took the chopsticks and mixed the noodles. The milky white soup mixed with the green scallions looked very good and smelled so yummy.

n

nHe used the chopsticks to pick up some noodles and let it cool for a few seconds. Then he put them into his mouth and tasted it slowly.

n

nGu Zhan had never tasted noodles with such fresh and smooth texture. It made him feel as if he was in a grassland in the country side, bathing in a cool breeze.

n

nHe couldn’t hide his surprise. He had never expected Su Luo could use the simplest ingredients to make such delicious food.

n

n“Luo Luo, when did you learn to cook? Why haven’t I seen you cook before?”

n

nThe noodles were so good that Gu Zhan ate a few more mouthfuls before asking.

n

nIn his impression, Su Luo didn’t know how to cook. It was natural for him to feel surprised.

n

nSu Luo was a little embarrassed. She had forgotten the original owner of this body was a spoiled woman. She had never bother to learn cooking.

n

nShe was too eager to show off her culinary skills but forgot she was not the original Su Luo.

n

nSu Luo rolled her eyes and thought of an excuse. “Actually, I’ve always known how to cook. It’s just that I’ve never had the chance to show it to you. If you like it, I’ll cook more for you.”

n

n“Thank you.”

n

nGu Zhan did not ask further. He lowered his head and continued eating the noodles.

n

nSeeing this, Su Luo heaved a sigh of relief. If he asked more questions, she really didn’t know how to explain.

n

nGu Zhan finished the noodles very quickly. He even drank up the soup. Then he went to take care of the two kids who didn’t know how to use chopsticks to eat the noodles.

n

nSu Luo looked at Gu Zhan and the children eating joyfully. She secretly made up her mind that she would do all she can to protect them and make them happy.

n

nAt this moment, the door outside the living room was opened, and a middle-aged woman walked in with a basket of fresh vegetables.

n

nJudging from her look and her free access to their house, Su Luo guessed that she should be Nanny Zhang, who had been taking care of Gu Zhan since he was a kid.

n

nWhen Nanny Zhang saw the whole family eat together happily, she was so shocked that she dropped the vegetable basket.

n

n“Auntie Zhang, there’s still some noodles left in the pot. Do you want some?”

n

nSu Luo stood up and asked.

n

nGu Xi turned around and said excitedly. “Grandma Zhang, the noodles mommy made are really delicious. You must try it.”

n

nGu Bei sitting next to her also nodded.

n

nEven Gu Zhan smiled and told her. “The taste is really good. Try It.”

n

nIt had been a while for her to see Gu Zhan smile; tears came to the old nanny’s eyes. She picked up the basket and nodded.

n

nShe put the vegetables on the kitchen counter and said to Su Luo, “Miss Su, let me do it. You go sit down and rest.”

n

nSu Luo stopped her. “Aiya, Auntie Zhang, don’t worry about it. I’ll bring it over right away.”

n

nSince she insisted, Nanny Zhang could only sit and wait. She looked at Gu Zhan lovingly and asked hesitantly, “You two are?”

n

nGu Zhan knew she was asking if his relationship with Su Luo had improved. He nodded to confirm. “Luo Luo doesn’t hate me anymore.”

n

nNanny Zhang wiped away her tears. “That’s great. I am happy for you.”

n

nSu Luo handed the noodles to Nanny Zhang. “There’s still one bowl left. Eat while it’s hot.”

n

nNanny Zhang took the bowl with both hands. Just as she was about to eat, the doorbell rang.

n

n“I’ll get it.”

n

nSu Luo wouldn’t let Nanny Zhang get up. She opened the door herself.

n

nWhen the door was opened, Su Luo saw a pretty and stylish woman standing outside.

n

nAs soon as the woman saw Su Luo, she said excitedly, “Luo Luo, you look so happy. Let me guess. It’s because you’re leaving with Lin Tian today, right?”

n

nSu Luo narrowed her eyes. She knew this woman from the book. Her name was Qi Yi. She looked nice but actually was evil.

n

nThe Qi family and the Gu family were old friends. Qi Yi had known Gu Zhan since she was young.

n

nAlthough Gu Zhan wasn’t very close to her, she had always thought that she would marry Gu Zhan one day.

n

nBut Su Luo came and stole Gu Zhan’s heart right away.

n

nEven though Su Luo was in love with another man, Gu Zhan still insisted on marrying her.

n

nQi Yi hated Su Luo for stealing Gu Zhan; she hated her even more for not treating him well. Su Luo didn’t know how lucky she was and didn’t cherish it at all.

n

nSo she deliberately became friends with Su Luo. After gaining Su Luo’s trust, she lied to her and made her believe that Gu Zhan was the one who had framed the Su family to destroy their relationship.
