Chapter 6: An Uninvited Guest

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

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

The entire room was filled with the aroma of food.

“Hi sweeties, wash your hands and eat!”

Su Luo called out.

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

Gu 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.

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

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

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

He 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.

Gu 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.

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

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

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

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

Su 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.

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

Su 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.”

“Thank you.”

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

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

Gu 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.

Su 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.

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

Judging 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.

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

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

Su Luo stood up and asked.

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

Gu Bei sitting next to her also nodded.

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

It 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I’ll get it.”

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

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

As 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?”

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

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

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

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

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

Qi 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.

So 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.
