Chapter 240 - 237: Little Foodie — Su Hanhan

Chapter 240: Chapter 237: Little Foodie — Su Hanhan

At the sound of the voice, both Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe froze for a moment.

"Ah~!"

Su Qinghe cried out in alarm as she came to her senses, hastily struggling out of Gu Yifan’s arms.

She stood to the side with her head bowed, her face so flushed it was practically scarlet.

Gu Yifan was also mortified, having been caught in an intimate moment by his own mother.

But he was thick-skinned.

After quickly composing himself, he turned to face his mother, his expression calm. "Mom, you’re up? Breakfast is almost ready. Go wash up; we’ll be able to eat soon!"

"Oh, oh..."

Chen Dongmei looked bewildered and nodded subconsciously.

"So, what were you and Qinghe doing just now?"

Due to her angle, she hadn’t really seen anything clearly, only that Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe were standing very close together.

"Oh, Su Qinghe got some smoke in her eye, so I was just helping her blow it out."

Gu Yifan lied through his teeth, spouting nonsense with a completely straight face.

"Oh, I see."

Chen Dongmei accepted his explanation without suspicion and nodded.

"Well, I’m going to go wash up then. I’ll leave the kitchen to you two today!" she added after a moment’s thought.

With that, she turned and headed for the bathroom to wash up.

"Phew..."

Su Qinghe finally let out a sigh of relief after Chen Dongmei had gone.

’Looks like Chen Dongmei didn’t actually see what we were doing.’

’It wasn’t like she and Gu Yifan were doing anything improper, but they were definitely in a real embrace!’

’If his mom had really seen, the ever-shy Su Qinghe would have been mortified!’

’What if Auntie suddenly comes back?’

After a moment’s thought, Su Qinghe peeked her head out and stole another glance toward the kitchen doorway. Only after confirming that Gu Yifan’s mother was in the bathroom did she finally, truly relax.

Seeing Su Qinghe’s cautious surveillance followed by her look of immense relief, Gu Yifan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Especially when he saw her cute, flushed face, he couldn’t help but rub his nose and tease her. "All right, you can stop looking. My mom’s long gone. What a silly Hanhan!"

Hearing this, Su Qinghe couldn’t help but shoot him a flirtatious eye-roll.

’It’s all that darn Gu Yifan’s fault!’

’If he hadn’t insisted on hugging me, I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed just now!’

’That’s right!’

’It’s all this "Big Bully’s" fault!’

Su Qinghe thought to herself.

Gu Yifan paid no mind to Su Qinghe’s eye-roll.

He was, however, a little surprised. Ever since they had made their relationship official, Su Qinghe had slowly shed her old timidity and low self-esteem. Now, she even dared to roll her eyes at him, and her expressions had become so much more animated.

’You could say she’s gradually becoming more and more cheerful.’

’This is a good thing, though. The old Su Qinghe might have been soft and easy to tease, but living in a constant state of fear and low self-esteem is terrible for your mental health.’

Gu Yifan shook his head slightly and turned back to his work.

Seeing Gu Yifan ignore her, Su Qinghe pouted but said nothing more. She turned and walked out of the kitchen, deciding she didn’t want to deal with that jerk anymore.

Well, fine.

The truth was, she just didn’t want another embarrassing incident to happen.

After all, this wasn’t their Jinling Courtyard; Gu Yifan’s parents were home!

...

Soon, breakfast was served on the dining table.

There were steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce, century egg and lean pork congee, xiaolongbao, steamed egg custard, and more...

It was a Cantonese-style breakfast.

After washing and drying his hands, Gu Yifan untied his apron and walked out of the kitchen.

He didn’t see his mom or Su Qinghe in the living room.

Puzzled, he turned and headed toward his bedroom.

"Su Hanhan, time for breakfast~"

Gu Yifan pushed open the bedroom door and walked inside.

"Ah~!"

Su Qinghe was in the middle of changing and jumped in fright!

She turned to see Gu Yifan walking in.

"I... I’m changing!"

Su Qinghe shot Gu Yifan a look, her voice a mix of petulance and weakness. "Can’t you go out first...?"

Gu Yifan didn’t say a word. Instead, he casually closed the door and leaned against it, his eyes fixed on the beautiful scenery before him. He nodded in satisfaction as he watched.

’Curvy in all the right places, yet so slim... What on earth did this Su Hanhan eat growing up?!’

’And I’ve never even seen her work out. How is her body so perfect?’

’Did she grow up on pig feed or something?’

Gu Yifan’s mind ran wild with speculation.

And most importantly, ever since she got together with him, Su Qinghe had been eating and drinking heartily every day. Her appetite was definitely not small!

Yet she still managed to maintain such a perfect figure. If other women knew, they’d probably die of envy!

Seeing that Gu Yifan had no intention of leaving, Su Qinghe could only look on helplessly.

After a moment’s thought, she decided to just ignore the jerk.

’Anyway, he’s already seen everything there is to see. What’s one more time?’

But being stared at by Gu Yifan like this still made her extremely shy.

Still, with a blushing face, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish changing.

...

A moment later, Su Qinghe was dressed, but her face was now so flushed it was practically scarlet.

She turned back around, and seeing Gu Yifan still staring at her, she asked irritably, "Enjoying the view?"

"Mhm, very nice!"

Gu Yifan replied without hesitation, "My Su Hanhan is the most beautiful, of course. I could look at you for a lifetime and never get tired of the view!"

"..."

Hearing Gu Yifan’s words, Su Qinghe’s face grew even redder, but her heart was filled with a syrupy sweetness.

But she couldn’t stop herself from retorting, "Hmph, you big liar! You big jerk!"

"Come on, I’m not lying. I’m speaking from the heart!"

Gu Yifan stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Su Qinghe’s slender waist, a wicked grin on his face. "Besides, we’ve already been intimate. It’s not like I haven’t seen everything before, hehehe..."

Su Qinghe: "..."

"You’re horrible!"

She stomped her foot, covering her face with her hands. "You... stop talking! I could die of embarrassment!"

"Hahaha..."

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop."

Gu Yifan couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Then, he said softly, "Okay, breakfast is ready. Let’s go downstairs and eat."

"Oh?"

The moment she heard there was food, Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up.

"Mhm~"

She had absolute faith in Gu Yifan’s cooking—it was just that delicious!

Seeing her looking like a little glutton, Gu Yifan shook his head in resignation.

He pinched her nose, his expression full of affection.

"You really are a little foodie, aren’t you?"

...
