The overall combination not only has a unique style but also feels like a return to ancient times, exuding a sense of luxury intertwined with the passage of time.
This man's taste is truly unconventional. She originally thought that someone of his status would prefer to live in a European-style villa like Liu Lian Hai Shen, where one could gaze out at an endless sea through the floor-to-ceiling windows, listen to the sound of the waves, and enjoy the beautiful ocean view—so picturesque and romantic.
However, there was not much of a living atmosphere at Liu Lian Hai Shen; it felt more like a temporary residence. Here, everything was spotless, without a speck of dust. Even the shoes at the entrance and the cups on the dining table were left untouched, indicating that this was indeed his regular place of stay.
Finding the kitchen, she set down her things, tied on an apron, and began preparing dinner. Given the heat and President's stomach issues, she decided to make a few light home-cooked dishes.
Cooking was not difficult; it was just that being treated like a maid genuinely made her uncomfortable!
When she was at home, she never cooked. As long as Old Man Gu was available, he would ensure that she had meals served to her. Her father used to be a teacher at the Culinary Center and Culinary Class, and cooking was his specialty. Under his influence, she had also learned quite a bit of culinary skill!
On days when she stayed in her apartment and didn’t go home, she would cook using IKEA's recipes without needing to lift a finger. Now she was just grateful for having learned so much from her father; otherwise, who knows how embarrassing it might have been!
Preparing a simple meal of four dishes and a soup with familiar home-cooked flavors posed no challenge for her. Just as she placed the dishes on the dining table, the doorbell rang.
Wiping her hands dry, she opened the door to see a man standing there with one hand resting on his suit jacket and holding a box in the other. Upon seeing her come out, he wore a faint smile on his face.
Seemingly affected by his rare warm smile, she squinted slightly and smiled back: "You're back!"
"Mm." He replied lightly while raising his hand to pass her the box before stepping into the entrance to change his shoes. "This is for you."
"What is it?" As she carried the box inside and closed the door, she examined the vintage-style box in her hands. Opening it to take a look inside, her face instantly brightened upon seeing the desserts within: "Wow, how cute!"
She lifted her head and looked at the man who had changed his shoes and stood up. "Whose dessert is this? It's so cute that I almost don't want to eat it."
"The box has two layers, each with four kinds of desserts, all of which she likes. Placed in such a vintage box, it really whets the appetite but makes you reluctant to eat it!"
"This is from Yisi Tang. If you like it, I'll take you there next time."
"Yisi Tang? I've never heard of it before." She loved desserts and was a foodie. Although she had been to many places to eat, she had never been to this one.
"Yisi Tang is a handmade dessert workshop. Its location is quite remote, and it usually only receives guests who come specifically to learn how to make desserts, so it's not surprising that you don't know about it."
As if he caught a whiff of something delicious, he turned and walked toward the dining room.
Green Qi came back to her senses and hurriedly grabbed the box to follow him inside. She watched as he stood in front of the dining table, examining the dishes. Nervously biting her lip, she said, "I didn't know what you liked, so I just made four dishes and a soup with a light flavor."
"Alright, let's eat!" He pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the woman who was still standing there. "What are you dazed for? Aren't you hungry?"
"I... I'll go serve you some soup." Considering the dessert box, she decided not to hold it against him for treating her like a maid today.
