1628: The Food He Likes

The Food He Likes

"You let me know how much Ah Zheng loves me. No matter how good other women are to him, he won't waver in the slightest and will still choose me."1

As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, He Wenxian instantly lost control of her expression, and it gradually became ferocious.

This b*tch! She clearly knew that she loved Gu Zheng, yet she was still showing off in front of her!

He Wenxian bit her lip so hard that the flesh was about to break, but Qiao Xi did not intend to let her off. "In the past, Ah Zheng always said sweet words to me and I didn't believe him. It was you who made me understand that Ah Zheng's love for me is real and the sweet words he says come from the bottom of his heart. I'm really grateful to you!"

Gu Yao coughed.

Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled. "Gu Yao, why are you coughing?! I'm telling the truth!"

Gu Yao: "…" 'You have such a vicious mouth!'

He covered his face and hid the smile on his face. "I'm sorry! I choked on water. My sister-in-law is really magnanimous! You know that there have been rumors outside that say that Miss He and my brother are engaged. Not only did you not get angry, but you're also thanking Miss He. You're awesome!"

Qiao Xi replied with a smile, "You're right. I'm a magnanimous and tolerant person. Ah Zheng is so handsome and rich. It's normal for him to have many admirers, but Ah Zheng only likes me. I don't have to be jealous."

Old Madam Gu smiled dotingly. "Xi Xi, stop talking. Miss He will be unhappy later."

He Wenxian's palm was pierced by her nails, and her face alternated between green and white.

Qiao Xi pretended to be surprised. "Huh? Miss He will be unhappy? Grandma, Miss He isn't that petty. Moreover, she's Ah Zheng's younger sister. If she still likes Ah Zheng, it'll be incest! How could Miss He be so muddle-headed?"

With that, she looked at He Wenxian. "Miss He, what do you think?"

"Yes… Yes," He Wenxian replied through gritted teeth.

"I knew Miss He wouldn't be so petty!"

He Wenxian was so angry that her eyes darkened. She wanted to kill this b*tch!

Seeing that she was so angry that she did not say anything, Qiao Xi was satisfied. She beamed and picked up some food for Gu Zheng. "Hubby, fortunately, Miss He said that you're allergic to yams. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known!"

Gu Zheng smiled at her, then asked He Wenxian coldly, "Who told you that I'm allergic?"

He Wenxian was stunned for a moment before realizing that Gu Zheng was talking to her. Her scalp instantly went numb as she said while trembling, "A subordinate of the He family."

Gu Zheng's expression was indifferent, but his tone carried a trace of mockery. "Actually, I'm not too sensitive to yams. The He family's subordinates are really not much. They even passed on fake news to you."

After he finished speaking, Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi and said gently, "Xi Xi, I'll tell you myself if I'm allergic to anything in the future. There's no need to listen to outsiders."

He Wenxian was furious. The information she spent so much effort to find was still fake, but Qiao Xi could easily find out.

He Wenxian had only eaten a few bites during this meal and was already full from anger.

After dinner, Old Madam Gu brought Gu Zheng and his wife back to the courtyard. After the few of them entered the house, she lowered her voice and said, "Ah Zheng, come in with me. I'll give you something good."

Gu Zheng gestured to Qiao Xi and followed Old Madam Gu into the room.

Aunt Fang and Qiao Xi sat in the living room and chatted. "Young Master has really changed. He didn't eat chicken in the past."

Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. "Why?"

"It's all because of Huang Lilan. At that time, she used all kinds of methods to abuse Young Master. After that, Young Master was traumatized and stopped eating chicken."

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes, and her heart trembled. "He never told me."

She liked to eat chicken very much and never got tired of it. After she married Gu Zheng, he would always eat it with her. He did not show a trace of disgust and never said that he did not eat chicken.

"Then what does Ah Zheng like?" Qiao Xi asked.

Aunt Fang smiled. "You might not believe me, but he likes glutinous rice balls."

Qiao Xi was indeed in disbelief. Gu Zheng never seemed to show any disgust or liking for certain foods. She only knew that Gu Zheng did not like sweets, so why did he like glutinous rice balls?

"Actually, I don't think Young Master really likes glutinous rice balls. It's just that Eldest Miss Lu liked them. She said that glutinous rice balls represented reunion, so Young Master always remembered it. At that time, he should have guessed that Eldest Miss Lu was his biological mother. After that, Eldest Miss Lu was seriously ill, but she forced herself to cook glutinous rice balls for Young Master. Eldest Miss Lu ate two, while Young Master finished everything else in the pot.

"However, someone like Young Master never reveals his preferences to outsiders. Only Old Madam and I know about it. He's not good at expressing himself, but we all know that he misses Eldest Miss Lu very much. Ever since Eldest Miss Lu passed away, he hasn't eaten glutinous rice balls."
