After changing their clothes, the two of them got out of the car.
Xia Yangyang had never seen Gu Qichen look like this before. He was always impeccably dressed, very meticulous, as if living inside a vacuum-sealed glass cover.
But now, decked in a casual sweatshirt with a cartoon pattern in the center, he seemed to have transformed into a different person.
How to put it, the man who was always overbearing and revered seemed to have a touch of everyday simplicity.
Gu Qichen saw Xia Yangyang staring at him for a long time and asked, “What, don’t I look good?”
Xia Yangyang hurriedly said, “It suits you well, you look much younger all at once.”
“So you’re saying I looked old before?”
This man, always arguing!
Xia Yangyang said, “Do you still want to have beef noodles?”
Xia Yangyang had already turned around and dashed into the food street like a nimble little deer.
This street was lively, brightly lit, with roadside barbecues filling the air with the aroma of cumin.
Xia Yangyang quickly found the “Fengcai Noodle House”
In an unobtrusive corner of the food street.
Xia Yangyang found an empty seat and sat down, with Gu Qichen sitting across from her. He looked curious and asked, “Where’s the menu?”
Xia Yangyang laughed, “There’s no menu in a place like this.”
With that, Xia Yangyang shouted towards the entrance, “Boss, two bowls of the signature beef noodles, large portion.”
“Okay!” The noodle shop boss responded amidst his busyness.
The beef noodles came up quickly. Xia Yangyang was so hungry, she took a big bite with her chopsticks and sighed contentedly, “This is the best beef noodle I’ve ever had. A mouthful of beef and a mouthful of noodles, one needs to eat in big bites to fully enjoy it.”
Gu Qichen picked up his chopsticks leisurely, grabbed a piece of beef and slowly put it in his mouth.
Xia Yangyang stared at him, full of anticipation, “How’s the taste? It’s okay, right?”
For Gu Qichen, this taste was too ordinary.
But looking at the bright eyes of Xia Yangyang, he calmly said, “It tastes good.”
A small crescent moon formed at the corner of Xia Yangyang’s eyes and she spoke with a hint of pride, “You rich foodies should occasionally try some street food. It may surprise you with its great taste.”
Gu Qichen said, “If you like it, we can come often.”
Looking up at his deep-set eyes, Xia Yangyang’s heart pounded at Gu Qichen’s unexpectedly gentle voice.
Xia Yangyang felt that there must be something wrong with her heart, why did it keep fluttering?
To divert attention, Xia Yangyang brought up a topic, “That… could you do me a favor?”
Xia Yangyang clearly saw Gu Qichen frown at her words.
She hadn’t even mentioned the favor yet, and Gu Qichen seemed to be put off, so chances looked slim.
Gu Qichen said, “I don’t go by ‘that’; when asking for a favor without even a proper address, isn’t that a bit insincere?”
So that was the reason for his displeasure.
Xia Yangyang immediately lit up her face with a smile, “Director Gu, President Gu, Handsome Gu, Beautiful Gu …”
Gu Qichen shook his head, “Not sincere enough.”
“Then what would you have me call you?”
“Try calling me ‘husband’,” Gu Qichen said casually..
